TERRA EMPIRE: ON THE EVE OF WORLD WAR

Episode 29: ESCAPE FROM THE FIFTH FLOOR

Jack Higgins's proposal is determined, even though no one has a better idea, what he says affects everyone, and it was finally accepted as the most logical thing to save them from this dangerous situation as quickly as possible…

“You're sure they're still a long time with this, Jack?” ask President Tramp.

“Positive, Mr. President!” Jack answered with a stern face.

“Then wait what else?”

“How, Professor?” Jack asked Archibald McQueen who was checking the screen. The scientist was silent for a moment, his head held up a little while making sure from screen to screen before then turning to the agent.

“As far as observed the ******* are gathered in the hall downstairs. In addition, no one gathered outside, except those who were chasing us from floor to floor.”

“How about the two ******* in the elevator? They're out of there?”

“Maybe they'll have trouble getting out of there, sir!” cut Jordan.

“Why is that?” Jack Higgins looked at the teenager.

“Because I broke something in the emergency button circuit.The elevator came down but stopped in the middle before getting to any floor.”.

“In other words they are stuck there?”

“You could say so,” Jordan nodded.

It was enough for Jack to force Professor McQueen to think of a way out of Machina Factory, “There may be another way.

“There actually is..” Professor McQueen nodded.

“Show the way to us.”

To descend to the bottom Lana's father took the route through the emergency stairs, and that meant Jordan and Lana had to return to the place where they had experienced the terrible incident just now. Lana frowned as she had to pass back the two bodies ****** who were killed in that place, throwing her face away so she wouldn't have to see their horrible bodies.

The new Jordan took a closer look at the condition of the second******, which was his victim, turned out to be far more terrible than he thought. The head of the******* that bends in a strange position ensures that the person's neck is broken while lying on the steps of the stairs and that is the cause of death. It's just that Jordan did not until the heart found the person's face.His nose is no longer shaped.

Duncan Tramp who walked behind Lana and Jordan instead commented, “What happened to them?”

“The story is long, sir!” sahut Jordan while holding Lana's shoulder because he knew his friend could vomit at any time if they were too long in that place.

“You guys did it?”

“Agen Higgins,” Reply Jordan quickly.

“I told you that he was reliable,” this time heard Howard Tramp's comments that were running behind his son.

“Yes, dad! You've said it many times,” reply Duncan.

Lana looked at Jordan who just shrugged and added to the President, “Jordan had a hand in also crippling the second criminal.”

“Really?” ask Duncan Tramp.

“Not intentionally actually. The hammer slipped out of my hand and flew to his face.”

“Means these kids are meritorious too, well!” Duncan smiled broadly at the President

The group continued down the stairs with a position attached to the wall. Jack Higgins and Bill Sandford were ahead as the road opener, Professor Mc Queen behind them, Jordan and Lana walking behind the scientist, Duncan and Howard Tramp were behind the two teenagers, while Ryan Newman was at the very back, as a safeguard from enemies who might enter from the door above them.

The speed down this emergency staircase might not be as fast as when Lana and Jordan were riding it with Professor McQueen and Jack Higging. That's because President Tramp's fitness is not too good so that the three Secret Service agents must keep the leader of the country not tired by the age that is no longer young, moreover, the distance that must be traversed seems to be still far away.

As soon as he arrived at the bottom floor Jack raised his hand, asking the others to stop and stay in place on the steps of each staircase. He nodded at Bill, the two approached the door and opened it slowly. Bill, who was on the side of the door that opened his knees with a pistol, slowly walked out to make sure he was safe.

After looking to the right and left raised thumb that makes everyone there breathe a sigh of relief. No one would have imagined they would have to run hard if****** was still busy wandering around and caught up with them and chased them.

“After this how?” Jack asked Professor McQueen.

“You know the way to the generator place?” the scientist asked back.

Bill frowned, “Kukira there is no way there.”

“Can, if we take the direction to the passageway that crosses with the drop dock.”

“Turns by back road, eh?” Jack nodded with a smile.

“Betul, Jack,” Professor McQueen turned to Jack Higgins. “Indeed not the fastest way, but it's the safest way.”

“I agree,” the agent turned to his co-worker. “You heard that, Bill?”

“Yeaah..” Bill nodded.

“After you, Bill...” hiss Jack.

Bill passes through the door while Jack stands guard at his threshold, gesturing for Lana and Jordan to pass him, then the others in order until Jack Higgins is now behind. Sometimes he looks back, making sure their movements are not known by the *******. The situation on this floor is actually critical because the company is one floor with the *******. Wrong just a little, like noise accidentally, then their efforts run out.

Jack Higgins begins to breathe a sigh of relief as Jordan and his entourage move further away from the hall, at least when there is a crew member ******* who know-how out of the hall for a business then they will not be immediately discovered because the distance where they are currently is not as close as a few minutes ago.

While passing through the electrical control panel in the hallway Ryan knew to stop there and then looked at Jack. The two looked at each other and held their breath seeing something stuck under the panel box. It was placed so thoroughly that a passing person would not notice its existence there. But the two Secret Service agents who are trained are certainly immediately aware of the dangers of objects that are under the electrical control panel.

“C4!” ryan whispered after recognizing the object.

“These people are not messing around.”

“How many bombs did they put in this building about?”

“I don't know..maybe enough to make the whole flat with the ground.”.

“Their backup plan is really mature in order to kill the President.”

“And I think they dared to blow up this building after killing the President,” Jack added.

“You think so?” Ryan looked up at his friend's guess.

“I think yes...they are crazy enough for that. I've seen how they can blow up an outside building even though there are a lot of police there.”

“I also saw him through the monitor screen in the room,” Ryan nodded.

“Do not let others know Machina Factory has been bombed everywhere. Our priority is to secure the President first.”, said Jack Higgins.

“True!” Ryan Newman is still. “Let's follow them.”
