CHAPTER 16: PLATINUM HOTELS
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56Steve sat down at his table eagerly waiting for Mike to arrive. His take had not yet been served. The chair opposite him was empty. Mike was going to fill up the vacancy when he arrived. But he was already taking too much time to arrive. What was keeping him? The television that hung on an adjacent wall was on but Steve obviously did not have any interest in whatever program was going on there. The television had played an Asian epic romance movie to help people tide over the situation in the country. But that would only work if all the people seated there had their attention fixed on the television. The strategy was obviously not working out well as no one was wearing a happy face. Platinum hotels was definitely going to make big sales on that day. A lot of people wanted to be at the site of the explosion but were not granted the privilege by the security men and women at work. So, many started devising a new strategy. Since platinum hotels was

Helen stood with the manager of platinum hotels in a hallway. He looked like he was in his twenties but a careful study of him would make even a child know he must be in his forties. His thick mustache was enough proof. But considering his size, no one would ever expect him to be as commanding as he was at the moment to Helen." I am sorry, young lady. But you may have to leave this place on your own or I will be forced to order the security to throw you out. "" It is just a simple request. Let me take a look at the cameras . Take me to your security control room."" I have tried to be cool with you because this is our hotel and our job here is to serve people. But it is obvious you have ulterior motives for coming here. Who on Earth walks into a hotel and seeks access to a

Chief Joe paced with his head full of thoughts. For the past few minutes, he had not done anything that would point directly at any individual who would likely be involved in the chain of events that ensued the previous night. When he had assembled all the kitchen related staff, he specifically ordered those that were on duty during the hours of the previous night to remain while the others left. Now, they were all standing before him with their faces bent down. Could it be the guilt of their actions or they were just afraid? If it was guilt, there was possibly no way all of them would be involved in the incident. So , why were their faces all looking worked up? Probably, there was something they knew that he was yet to know. But what could that be? He was still in his thoughts when Chief Chris started approaching." Hey." Chief Chris spoke. " How is it going over here?"

Agent Helen had her eyes traveling from one computer to the other. She needed answers to her questions. It was not really her question but that of the nation. The manager just stood beside her." This is what is going on currently within the perimeter that the explosion affected. " The manager said to her." I see. " She nodded. " But this is not what I need right now."" You said you wish to see the Center City. Isn't it?" The manager asked." Yes. But what I need right now is the clip from yesterday."" Yesterday's clip?"" You heard me well. The clip that can show me the entire area before
THE OUTBREAK: USA MUST FALL! CHAPTER 20: THE PROTEST CONTINUES.
Media vans we're all over the place in front of the gate of the white house of the United States of America. The crowd that had come to protest had not gone. Rather, it was the opposite . Though they were not able to meet the demands of the chief of the United States Secret Service, they still refused to return to their homes as was said by chief Christopher Balor. Instead of returning home, their numbers just increased tremendously. More citizens were already joining the crowd. The media took over the opportunity to give every one of them the stage to speak their thoughts over the current situation of the country. It was obvious that their major displeasure stemmed from the fact that no one was willing to say anything meaningful about the situation. Their questions were not answered. The president had not shown himself since the events of the previous night. The vice president was also nowhere to be found. It was frustrating and getting the citizens
THE OUTBREAK: USA MUST FALL! CHAPTER 21: I AM AGENT UGOEZE.
Agent Helen and the lady were still waiting for Kane to forward the details of Paul Cole. Many minutes had elapsed but nothing came yet. Was it that difficult to get the information? Who was Paul Cole really? She thought. Another thought crossed her mind. She remembered she was not just in Philadelphia for one reason. She had not come for only platinum hotels. There was another drive behind her move. She was there to track Mike. Fortunately for her, there would be no reason for her to track him. She smiled at this. At least, her work had been made easier for her. It would have been another circle of stress if she just began to search Center City because of one man. Though , it was not only one person she was there to get. There were two of them . Mike and whoever it is that was with him a couple of hours ago. Just then, she reasoned. Could it be what she thought? She wondered. What if the young man she had seen with Mike on the first floor was the per

" What do you have to say?" Steve asked Mike. " You have not said anything else against chief Christopher Balor. Does that mean he is no longer on your suspense list?"" You think he has been exempted, right? Why? Because he opened up to the public. Well, to me, that is not enough reason to say that he is free of every charge ."" You can keep that to yourself. Sometimes, I wonder why you act the way you do on a few occasions. "" So, what was the outcome of your wondering? Positive or negative. Which one is it?"" Why don't you want to accept everything the way they are? First, it was vice governor Wallace. "" That reminds me. About vice governor Wa
THE OUTBREAK: USA MUST FALL! CHAPTER 23: A SUSPICIOUS MOVE.
Rick was just seated staring at the computer screen. That was all he had been to do for a couple of years of his life. At some point , it became a very boring life for him. From morning till night on most days, he just spent almost all the hours sitting before a system and typing the appropriate commands. Life outside that was a rare one for him. Since the crisis started, he had barely had any time for himself. Just like he was seated now, so has he been seated for a while. If he was not there, no one else would take up his responsibility as much as he did them. Sometimes , he wondered what would happen to the United States Secret Service without that man called Rick. His role in the organization was not in any way questionable. He yawned . The thought of everything that had ensued came to him. For a second time in one morning, Captain Clinton had created a scene in public. It was not even noon yet. What was going to happen before the day came t
THE OUTBREAK: USA MUST FALL! CHAPTER 24: AGENT WILLS IN ALABAMA.
Alabama was indeed a great place for anyone to be. Agent Wills had not had anything to do with Alabama in the past. But he had heard wonderful stories about Alabama. Amongst all he heard about Alabama, the well pointed out ones were the hospitality that its people were said to show everyone, the beautiful gulf coast beach . One major point being the different varieties of foods it had been said to have. Agent Wills was not there for the tour. If not, he would love to go and have a little glimpse at the beautiful gulf coast beach. Or perhaps take out a good time to have a good breezy evening walk through the area. Agent Wills knew life had other things that could spice it up . But the nature of the job that he did had become a serious limiting factor to a certain level of excitement and fun-filled days he would have loved to create for himself. But being an agent was not an easy task. Not just that he was an agent but an agent for the almighty Federal

Mike sat next to Helen on the plane. Steve was in the same row but the next column. Helen had gone asleep and now leaned her head on the glass window of the plane." I am a little bit anxious, you know. " Mike said to Steve." Anxious?" Steve asked." Yes. I am just anxious. "" Why so?"" Do you not think it is normal to be anxious? I mean, considering the journey that we have embarked on, do you not think it is right that I feel anxious at some point? "" You have no reason to be anxious, Mike. "" Come to think of it, Steve. Could it be that my father has a connection to all of this?"

Captain Clinton stood several meters away and stared at the big black gate of a fenced compound. The directions he had received from Rick had led him directly to this point. Though, he had not seen the ambulance as proof . But he knew somewhere beyond the black gate and the fence, the ambulance would be parked . Four men stood before the gate. As one in the field, he could tell some of the loitering men in the area were keeping guard of the premises. Getting in would be very difficult. He was not even sure of what he was really going in there to see. All he had at the back of his mind was to get in." Rick. " He spoke through his communicating device. " Rick, can you hear me?"" Captain Clinton." Rick responded. " I am right hereWhat is the situation at the moment?"
THE OUTBREAK: USA MUST FALL! CHAPTER 36: THE HOSTAGE...
Rick was becoming a little bit anxious over the whole thing. His breathing was becoming more intense. Whether it was because he was afraid of walking to a place he had not been before to see someone in secret or that the weight of the whole investigation was already pressing down on him , he could not really say. Never for once in his entire life has he been involved directly in an investigation. But this time, there was no other option other than to do it. If they were right all along, letting Chief Christopher Balor know anything about the current move would only be very detrimental and might end up being a waste of Captain Clinton's efforts." Hmm. " He exhaled. " There is nothing to fear, Rick. Yeah. Nothing to fear. We can do the same. You can do it. Remember, there is no other available option. If you do not help Captain Clinton, then, there might be no other person to do that. He confides in y

Helen stood alone with her phone. It was obvious that Ugoeze had been trying to reach her . But it was not working out. It was now clear to her that she was not going to return anytime soon like they had presumed before she left. For some reason, she still could not explain why she was doing what she was doing. The reason for heading to Paris was what she had not yet known. And trying to find out in the wrong way might end up jeopardizing her move. There was a lot of work that needed to be done. She dialed Kane's line first." Kane. " She spoke." Helen. Is that you?"" Yeah. It is me. " She giggled. " You are surprised."" I should be surprised, Helen. You nearly killed me. "" Nearly killed you. Huh. That is way
THE OUTBREAK: USA MUST FALL! CHAPTER 34: AGENT OLAMMA'S RESCUE.
Ugoeze had gone out of her unit of operation at platinum hotels. Two things were on her mind. Her colleague who was a friend and the traitor named Paul Cole. She looked at her phone again as she walked towards the site of the explosion. There was feedback yet. What could be taking her so long to get back to her? She sighed." Agent Helen, where on Earth are you? Huh . And why are you not taking my calls? " She spoke to herself. The effect of the explosion was right before her. The entire space was sealed from civilian passage. She stopped and observed the whole area. There were agents from different security operating units on patrol. A plan was needed . Since she was on an undercover operation, revealing her identity carelessly may stand to be a risk on the journey. Her phone started vibrating . Taking a look, it was a call." Hello… who is

Agent Wills yawned hungrily as he continued his walk . Alabama was without any doubt a very nice place to be . The circumstances would not just allow him to have a good taste of what it meant to get there." You have arrived." Kane spoke. " Have you not?"" Yeah. I have. " Agent Wills replied and stopped before a wooden bungalow. ." You owe me a nice treat. Do not forget that. "" For what?"" Are you asking that? Without me man, you would have been lost."" Don't think too highly of yourself. I would have found my way. You only made it easier. Okay?"

Rick yanwed tiredly and stretched his hands and twisted his neck in both directions. Then, he took a bite of the burger Captain Clinton had left back there in the basketball court." What the—?" His eyes went to the event at the gate of the White House. "I thought this was about to be over." He muttered. " What is this again?" Before him in the computer, the chief of the United States Secret Service was marching on to stand before the protestants again. What was he thinking?".... Good morning once again to our good citizens. " Chief Christopher Balor began. "I believe that you must be surprised to see me here again. But you have no reason to be so surprised. You marched on from your respective homes to this gate to get information. And more information is what I have brought to you all. " The eyes of many that were gathe

" What were you saying earlier on the phone?" Captain Clinton asked. " You were the one that called me, right?"" Yes. " The operator replied. " Since you left, we could not gather up our strength. Uhm. Especially considering the bitter truth that one of us lost his life a few minutes ago. "" I apologize for that. I didn't mean it to happen that way. "" No. You have nothing to be sorry about. We all saw how it happened. It was not your fault. "" Are you trying to make me feel good or what? You should be unhappy that the person who used to work here with you has died."" As you can see it written on our faces, we are not happy about his death. But we are
THE OUTBREAK: USA MUST FALL! CHAPTER 30: CHIEF JOE IS A TRAITOR.
A Chevrolet Impala drove slowly as it came to a stop some meters away from a warehouse that was still in the construction process. The door opened and chief Christopher Balor stepped down. He looked back and forth before closing the door. Then, he turned to the direction of the warehouse. No work was ongoing at the moment. In fact, the vicinity was deserted. Chief Chris looked around again to be sure no one was going to make any silly moves. Then, he began his glorious March, walking as fast as he could into the premises of the warehouse. The gate was open and it appeared there was life in there. He nodded. Walking into the premises, he saw just a single vehicle. It was the exact one Rick had called his attention to a few moments ago. He smiled. It was the day to catch one of the high ranking traitors of the United States of America. It was chief Joe Maxwell's car. He turned his attention to the entrance and continued his walk. This time, he applied c
