A quarter to 5 (4:45 p.m.) , United Nations headquarters, New York
We were all sure there were more army personnel present in the building. I myself had seen 10 walk in. With three dead soldiers, that left presumably 7 in the headquarters on a minimum. Assuming that the military guards were securing our targets, we walked in. In a 55 storey building our survival rate was less than the rate of securing this mission.
The military was probably waiting for our arrival at the 23rd floor. I reloaded my pistol and we secured the lobby. No military men were spotted. The civilians ran outside of the building screaming. We had presumably 15 minutes before backup arrived. On the arrival of more military members the failure of this mission would be evident. Our lives were on the line based on these 15 minutes. Taking the lift would make it hard to retaliate. Going by the stairs would be an option the army personnel would be well aware of. Both our passageways were cut off. The snipers were unable to access any targets. There were two possible ways the militants could be thinking. The first was that the army men were waiting on the 23rd floor defending the targets and waiting for backup. The second possibility was that the army was aware of the death of their fellow men and still decided to continue sending down men with a full force attack. I placed my chances on the first probability. This move could result to our deaths if wrong, but we had moved far pass that point.
I signalled three assassins to reach the third blind spot and come equipped with all the explosives we had brought. 6 minutes had passed. We joined up with the three assassins and moved up the stairs. I told the team to halt at the 20th floor and start moving slowly. 9 minutes had passed. I stopped the team at the 22nd floor and secured the area alone. To our advantage no one was present. I then knocked lightly on the ceiling at each corner to check if it was hollow. I ordered the men to position the explosives at each corner of the ceiling and made a gun powder lining across the perimeter of the ceiling. 13 minutes passed. Each man stood on the outer side of the perimeter encased with gun powder. I ordered the men to take out their knives and eliminate any targets or military men in sight. As the men got ready, I set the explosives on fire. A whole floor had fallen. All the men on the 23rd floor had tumbled down. The debris scattered across and blinded most parts of the floor. We took advantage of the debris and sliced any men in uniforms. The military men who had M4 Carbines did not shoot as they were in the presence of civilians who had fallen with them. Most men were too shocked or injured because of the fall to react. This made the mission easier. As the debris settled down I put my Glock Field Knife away and pulled out my pistol. With all the people moving we prioritised killing the military personnel.
The mission was a partial success. All opposing military men were killed but we still had to kill the 2 members of the UN. Some part of the crowd was heavily injured and did not move. Thus we focused on chasing the men running away. I commanded the 5 men to chase any civilians escaping and bring them to the current floor. I then fired 2 shots in the air yelling, "Stop or you'll get shot!" Everyone froze in their steps. "Stay down!", I yelled once more to instil fear among them. Unfortunately, our 15 minutes were long gone. Backup had arrived.
