It's been 3 hrs since the terrorists took hold of the museum. Am sure by now the police, military and the media must have already surrounded the perimeter of the museum .
You know, when I made that wish I didn't expect that it would come true. If I had realized that something like this will happen I would truly wish for something else. Alas is useless to cry over spilt milk.
Soon after I heard the gunshots I went out and peek at what was going on outside. Only to find a group of Black-robed individuals with weapons surrounding the visitors and the staff.
The terrorists then led them to the hall that was opposite the restroom that I am hiding. Not wanting to get busted or snitched by any of my classmate bastards, I immediately snuck back into the restroom
From then on I have been checking upon the situation for every 10 to 20 minutes.
The entire situation seems too strange for a terrorist attack to me. And the more I see the more I get confused about the situation.
Right now I have too many unanswered questions about this situation like, why, what and how? the most important of all his 'why'
Why the museum? And that too, Why in this manner?
I'm sure if someone wants to take something from a museum, The Best option is to make a 'swift steal' not a 'Grand heist'. That stuff is only possible in a series not in real life.
Did these idiots mistake a museum for a fucking bank?
Just think about it, all those things that are considered valuable in a museum are extremely fragile and it only retains their value if the product is undamaged.
A getaway after a heist with the cops on a hot pursuit like the movies. Must look dope but in reality, it would either end in you getting caught or you damaging the goods on the process.
If Either of that were to happen it would be better that you had remained in your mom's house basement. Well back to the topic on hand now.
I thought maybe they want to take the students hostage and ask for ransom. But I had ruled out that option because they seem to have no interest in them.
As for me, I'm still resting in the restroom and the terrorist didn't even bother checking for people here.
Now, this leads to my second question,
What is their objective then?
They don't look like a group of terrorists to me, because the weapons they have are all handguns, shotguns and SMGs, not even a rifle.
They are not monitoring the hallway, they are not even checking for snipers.
Not just that, they have no proper communication or any proper routine checks. I also think these guys don't even have a proper blueprint of the museum.
And the most important of all is that they don't have a Bomb. Isn't Bombs a must for terrorists,
No bomb = No terrorism.
What kind of terrorist goes for an attack without a bomb?
These guys are Amateurs, who haven't even done their basics properly.
Terrorists my ass!!. I am sure these guys are just a bunch of no buddies who are imposing as terrorists.
If even I was able to recognize this much.
I'm sure the cops and the military must have taken note of it already. But the presence of my schoolmates and their safety is preventing them from taking any actual decision.
After all who would want to put their neck on the line and take responsibility, if something were to happen to any of my schoolmates.
Now for the last question 'how'?
How are they going to escape?
I'm 100 % confident that these guys have no means to escape from the museum.
Because the parking is outside the museum, these guys didn't bring any handcuffs and stuff to take hostages.
And more importantly, the museum is right next to the mayor's office so exiting the museum and going to parking itself is like asking to be shot in the head so it's no go, then how?
And there is another thing that bothers me, I don't know why but I heard the noise of drilling at the centre of the museum.
I thought they are going to use the sewers but they didn't even try to check in the restrooms for once. I'm sure that the mainline that connects the museum to the sewer must be in the restroom.
Don't ask me stupid questions like how I know this?
Come on use your common sense, who would build sewer line rights under the museum. Are you asking yourself to get robbed?
Well, now that possibility is ruled out then what are they up to. I am sure that they used the drillers for around 40 to 50 minutes.
What are these morons up to?
After being unable to come to any possible conclusion, I once again tried to peak from the restroom towards the hallway. Only to find more than half of the captivated people gone missing.
Where have they taken the hostages to? And what are they doing to those hostages?
Since I didn't hear any gunshots or police warring I can assume that they are not dead. whatever they're up to I have a very bad feeling about this. Then soon I noticed,
A duo of quarrelling idiots would come from the centre of the museum and fetch 10 hostages and take them at a constant interval of time.
The hostages were also behaving strangely, In a pin drop silence without any commotion, they were following the duo in a line.
Shortly thereafter a few minutes they again would come and take a few more of the hostages with them. Not being able to control my curiosity, I decided to man up a little follow the stupid duo.
When the guards in front of the hall followed the duo to enter the hall, I immediately took the chance ran past the hallway towards the further end of the hallway.
Hiding in a spot that is not visible for the guards and the duo, I waited for them to pass by so I could sneak in and joined the group of hostages.
After a few minutes, the duo came out with another group of 10 people all of them being my schoolmates.
'Shit', I cursed at my bad luck because if it had been someone else I know there is a 50% chance they snitch on me. But if it's someone from my school I'm 100% sure they snitch on without even thinking.
The duo won't be able to find me but if any of these fuckers check their sides I would be caught. I'm really in a situation where you will call it between the Rock and a hard place.
Soon I again noticed that the 10 schoolmates who are being transported seemed to be in trance. Did these drug them? But I didn't see them do anything to hostages.
Then wait, is this the reason why they didn't even bother checking in on the hostages. Now, this would change a lot of things. While I was deep in thoughts, the quarrelling duo and the convoy of hostages soon came to pass me by.
Without simply continuing to guess for answers, I decided to see it myself. As soon as I joined the convoy I started hoping from the last to the second person behind the duo and tried to eavesdrop on their conversation.
Only to hear a word that made rooted on the spot in fear.
