10 Minutes Later...

The rain continued to pour, but there wasn't any wind. The sky itself seemed to fall straight down to Earth.

A fitting weather pattern to today's events.

Tessa and Vannessa made their way outside into the rain and walked toward the edge of the pier. Vannessa put her hands on the safety wall and hung her head. Tessa was fuming beside her. Another attack, a thousand dead, murdered. It was the mall times ten. And this time she wasn't there to tear those attackers throats apart.

Tessa: Vannessa...are you okay?

Tessa had noticed the girl's sudden change of mood and emotion. She hadn't said a word since she dropped her glass ten minutes ago.

Vannessa: Yeah...I'm alright.

Likisy: Tessa! You there? Answer me girl.

Tessa's ear flickered at the new and rudely loud voice that appeared in her earpiece. Above ground meant comms worked again.

Tessa: You know this won't continue much longer. Whoever they are, they will be found.

Likisy: Tessa who the hell are you talking to?

Tessa wanted to growl at him.

Vannessa: I guess. Bad thing is though that it's personal...

Likisy: On your nine Tessa...

Tessa's ear flicked again and she involuntarily tilted her eyes to her nine o'clock, or to her left. She then widened her eyes, just a bit when she saw Likisy walking casually up on them.

Tessa frowned and turned her head toward Likisy who continued to walk straight for her. Vannessa didn't notice as she continued to look down at the water.

Vannessa: But whatever... It's so sad that happened.

Tessa: Yeah it is sad.

Likisy came within ear shot of Tessa and continued to approach. Tessa then turned full toward the man and put a hand on Vannessa's shoulder.

Tessa: Oh Vannessa, I want you to meet someone.

Vannessa stood up and turned to where Tessa was looking. She saw Likisy then and leaned to Tessa questionatively.

Tessa: Hi daddy, found me huh.

Likisy shook his head and stopped infront of Tessa, giving her a deep look.

Likisy: You shouldn't have run off like that Jen, you know the rules.

Tessa: I'm sorry dad, just wanted to have some fun.

Likisy: Jen, may i have a word with you? I have a message from your mother.

Tessa looked up at him before nodding and smiled at Vannessa before walking away from her with Likisy. They went over to one of the trees and stood under it, standing close. Vannessa remained by the safety wall, staring at the water as the rain hit it.

Likisy: Lez got word from up top, we have concrete leads. Strike teams are en route and will arrive within the hour to make our move.

Tessa: Holy hell finally. Who we looking for?

Likisy: You're...not going to like this...

Unknown to Likisy and Tessa, they were being watched from up high through a high caliber scope.

The sniper leaned against the railing on the edge of the roof and aimed down the scope, accounting for the slightest wind resistence and distance.

The sniper put a finger to his ear and held it there.

Sniper: Targets in sight...

Cheltali Airforce Base

Command Communication Center

Around the same moment, news came in through executive channels. Lieutenant Colonel Crushedcar was on duty at the base, overseeing the mobilization of a special forces platoon.

Private: Sir, urgent message from the Capital.

The Colonel took the message from the private's hand and read it to himself. He then looked up and turned to the Private.
