TERRA EMPIRE: ON THE EVE OF WORLD WAR

Episode 31: TWO FAILED EXPLOSIONS

The security guards were astonished as the party approached, amazed, and in disbelief at being able to see President Tramp…not expecting the leader of the country to get out of the building alive while the ****** is still inside the building and it seems not to know what happened…

The Chief of Security who saw Duncan Tramp and Professor McQueen first approached to greet and greet the two, “Mr. Tramp..Professor McQueen, thank goodness you guys survived.”

Professor McQueen nodded, “Thanks to the protection of Secret Service teams, Tim.”

Jack Higgins advances between the apparatus while waving an identity card, “I'm agent Jack Higgins, Secret Service! Who's Lieutenant Mills?”

“I!” sahut a man in his mid-forties with the rank of Lieutenant on his shoulder. “What can I help you with, Agent Higgins?” he only realized the existence of President Tramp at that time and soon regretted it. “For God's sake! Thank goodness you survived, Mr. Presidents. Our work is easy here.”

“I'm sure so, Lieutenant!” Howard Tramp is still.

Jack Higgins submitted his walkie-talkie ****** killed, “With this you can monitor their movements. Those criminals were around eight to ten people all of them. Two were killed while hunting us. While the captives number about thirty people.”.

“Thirty-six, to be exact,” Professor McQueen chimed in. “And they are all my invited guests and staff who are still in the hall with the ******.”

Their conversation was cut short when an explosion was heard. Everyone in the courtyard spontaneously looked up, to the place where the voice had come from. The explosion was not large-scale, his voice heard from the fifth floor made Jordan and the others know that the criminals had found a hiding place in Duncan Tramp's workroom.

 The room was left in a full standby, as when Professor McQueen activated it as a safety room and it left Jordan amazed to look at such a sophisticated room, so the bomb might not be easy to destroy the barrier door made of iron.

Evidently after the explosion had passed from the walkie-talkie held by Lieutenant Mills, there sounded a villain in communicating with a tone of alarm, “You probably won't believe this, boss! But the bomb can't open its door.”.

“What did you say?”

“This door is as solid as a steel safe! Semtex is only able to make a little dent.”

“There must be a way to open it..find it...” voice the other with an angry snapping.

“Which just spoke earlier was the voice of their leader,” Lieutenant Mills commented.

“Where did you know?” ask Ryan.

“They talked to each other before,” Connect Jack.

“They speak in English but with a strange accent, are you aware?” ask Lieutenant Mills. “It looks like they're not people here.”

“They are not Americans either,” said Jack Higgins.

“Arab?” ask Bill who is nearby.

Jack shook his head, “Still one clump. But this is another. They don't seem to be ISIS or Al-Qaeda either.”

Walkie-talkie again listen to the communication of the ******, “We still have some material. Do we need to blow it up once again?”

“They will never be able to blow it up,” Professor McQueen commented. “The steel plate on the door of the CEO workspace can only be destroyed with a pressurized explosion of more than eight hundred kilograms and that means..”.

“Moderate level explosion that will also destroy one floor, right my guess Professor?” ask Jack Higgins.

“Fright!”

On the fifth floor, the****** did not want to give up, trying to blow the door up a second time. They

installing the Semtex is more than ever, attaching the bomb not only to the sidelines of the door, but also to the edges, spending what is left in the backpack, and after installing cables and other equipment, the, they hurried to safety.

The explosion this time was clearly stronger than the first because the three felt the wind and heat flowing to their hiding place. The window facing the door was also shattered, the glass***** in pieces due to bomb pressure. Surprisingly, the door is still not open as well even though the cross section shows a position that is increasingly bent inward.

"It's crazy!” si *******small bodied comment with frustration.

“How was the result?” ask the voice of the walkie-talkie.

“We still haven't managed to blow it up, boss!”

That answer made the leader******* inflamed upset. His feet kicked the nearby table until a large bowl of cocktails spilled over and the table rolled to the side, leaving some prisoners screaming in shock. He was inflamed with growls, “There must be something that can be done to open that bastard room..”.

His eyes stared like wild beasts at his captives, looking around for who was worth questioning or roughly knowing about the strange room that could not be opened on the fifth floor. Once he found the person he thought fit the estimate, he approached the man with a gun.

The man was none other than a member of the security forces, although he did not wear a uniform like his comrades who had died first in the first attack, he said, the leader can recognize the characteristics that distinguish it from the invited guests or Machina Factory staff from their distinctive shoes. The shoes are shoes that are only owned and worn by security personnel in this place.

“You...it looks like you know what you should tell me about the place...”.

The man shook his head in fear looking at the muzzle of the gun so close to his chest, “No..

“Really? You don't know anything?”

“No!”

"Then you are useless to me!”

OH, BAAANG!!!

People screamed in panic because****** it shot brutally...No matter what. The leader of ******* brought his face closer and said in an intimidating tone, “Are you sure you want to be useless to me?”

Carl Trish could not bear to hear that anymore and went forward interrupting, “If he said he didn't know, then he didn't know, man! Security guards are not aware of everything in this building!”

Leader******enforce body then approach Carl, “Nah...nah...and who are you to dare to speak like that? You sure you know everything?”

“He's the assistant Professor..maybe he knows something.” whispered his men.

“So?” the guy nodded. “Then what information can you share with us, assistant Professor?”

Carl Trish scowled, biting his lips. Seeing Carl even keep quiet, the man pointed to the security guard who was wearing thug clothes, “Or do you want him to fate like the man I shot earlier?”

“The room is a special room that we designed to withstand any possible danger. It won't be easy to break through, not even an earthquake or fire. In other words, the room is the safest room in the world, and to open it can only be done from within.”

“You're sure it can only be opened from inside?”

Carl Trish said it with a heavy heart, “Some people only have authorization to open it from the outside. I'm one of them..for certain cases..”.

“Aah, means we find the right person,” said the leader ******* that with a happy face. He turned to those who were there and said loudly. “You heard his words? He said he had access to their secret door open.and I hope you don't brag, man!”.

“I'm serious! Just don't shoot that guy,” Carl said.

“Then you come with me to the fifth floor now,” said the leader *******. “Open the door and I alone will catch your annoying leader.”.
