Hostages

Quarter past 5 (5:15 p.m.) , United Nations headquarters , New York

Approximately 20 civilians were kneeling on the ground. Out of these civilians, two were members of the UN that were present in the meeting. I looked outside of the window. 30 army men were scanning the area. We had presumably 12 minutes before our location was compromised. I had three magazines left for my pistol. Three bullets remained in the gun. I reloaded the pistol. On opening the gun, I changed the recoil spring with the spare GEN 5 recoil spring commonly used in Glock 19.

We all had information regarding the targets. Most of them were at senior positions. We examined the hostages. We then cross examined their names with the people we had in memory. The two targets were then separated from the rest of the crowd. Shooting these men would create unnecessary sound. Thus using a knife was optimal. I took out the Glock Field Knife and slit their throats. The civilians screamed in fear. Some tried to escape yet again. Since the military reinforcements had arrived we couldn't directly leave. With a plan in mind, I decided to let most of the crowd run down the stairs.

I ordered all the men to change their costumes with some of the people in the crowd. After wearing normal clothes, we stuffed the guns and knives in our socks. We only carried two knives and five handguns in total. We then broke and dismantled the remaining guns.

The hostages were cowering in fear. Looking at the situation, I found it feasible to order them. I commanded the crowd to follow us down the flight of stairs. I assumed that the military would begin progressing through the stairs. Confrontation would be unavoidable. Reaching the lower floors was the priority.

We reached the 3rd floor when confronting the army officials. I assumed the previous escapees had told the military about the situation.

One of the officers asked, "Where are you coming from?"

I replied, "We came down a flight of stairs after escaping at the hands of the terrorists." I then went on to describe our own images.

The hostages refrained from revealing my identity as they wanted to prevent any gunfire.

Another officer in the troop responded, "Alright. I'll escort you outside."

The rest of the military men continued walking ahead without a shred of doubt. We reached the lobby of the headquarters without a hitch. The current problem was running away from the military personnel.

As we exited the lobby, I saw 10 men. Fully equipped. We let the crowd move ahead. We ducked down as we progressed forward. As the people were running towards the army men, we ran in the perpendicular direction. Military action was taken to chase us down. We were considered as runaway victims and no harsh action was taken.

We reached the SUV I had parked across the street and had stuffed ourselves inside. I turned the car on, took the handbrake off and pressed down the accelerator completely. We had now successfully escaped. Our mission was now complete.

Meanwhile, at the headquarters of the UN, the reconnaissance troop had reached the 23rd floor, they saw a few of the hostages unclothed and realised that we had escaped. As for the military team at the ground level, they were made aware of the situation by the hostages that had followed us.

The military was startled. They sent a batch of cops to chase us.

Just as I had predicted.
