Episode 6: Secrets
Three days before the State of The Union address. Johnny is wondering about the bombs scattered across the world.
"Johnny, are you O.K.?" Asks Alison, who comes into the room unnoticed.k
"Oh nothing, it's just... Why did Hobbs choose us? I mean, these guys are one step ahead of us and... We failed. When did this job turn upside down for us?" asks Johnny.
"I don't know man, but we still have to get the job done," says Alison.
"But this, Alison... This is World War 3. Even if we manage to shut the bomb in our continent down, I have to make more of these, in order to stop the others... Or maybe I don't have to!" says Johnny.
Alison looks at Johnny with a puzzled look on her face.
"Should I ask?" asks Alison. Johnny gets a screwdriver and some random parts from a proximity mine. "You kill the king, you destroy the kingdom," Johnny says, going over to the makeshift core that he created.
"Are you just gonna stand there... Or are you gonna help me with this woman?" asks Johnny. Ronald and Viviano are seen playing chess in the command center.
"5 continents, including ours, under threat and nobody in the city knows that they are going to be completely vaporized," says Ronald as he moves his pawn forward.
"They won't get away with this Ron. We can stop them and we will stop them. They can't run forever," Viviano points out. Before Ronald could move another chess piece, he begins to think and a thought comes to his mind.
"You know what... This makes me wonder, how did they get the bomb?" asks Ronald.
"Ron... You know how they retrieved it," replies Viviano. Ronald then shakes his head and explains to Viviano about what he is thinking.
"I know that, but it's the information that's bothering me though... How did they get the location of the bomb?" Ronald wonders.
Viviano also begins to wonder the same thing.
"Only one way to find out, care to do a little snooping?" she asks. Ronald's only reply was a sly smile. Ronald and Viviano sneak over to Mary's computer and they begin to find out more about "Shadow of Death".
"Holy Shit... Viv', I found something," says Ronald.
"What is it?" asks Viviano. Ronald shows her the information he found.
"So that is how they got the bomb huh?" asks Viviano. Ronald nods in agreement.
"Perfect snatch and grab, someone was feeding them information about it's location and that someone instructed them to assassinate The South African governor and the other people on their list," Ronald pulls up another file, about a project that the President has been working on.
"Take a look at this, free clean energy for America. And it looks like the other people that were killed by 'Shadow of death', were a part of it," says Ronald. Viviano puts her hand on her chin, feeling puzzled by this reveal.
"So... That is how they stole the other bombs. What about the person that fed them the information?" asks Viviano.
Ronald shakes his head and replies, "No. Whoever he or she is, they stayed behind the scenes." Ronald and Viviano begin to piece it together fast.
"So with all those people dead, there is only... Shit, their final target is the President himself!" Ronald says.
"Of course... And it is the most opportune time as any, they plan to kill him during the state of the union address. And after they kill him, they detonate the bombs and... Arrivederci world," Viviano concludes.
"The address is only two days away, we can't let that happen!" says Ronald. One hour later, Viviano and Ronald go to Hobbs and they tell him about the information that they just discovered.
"Are you sure that this is their next move?" Asks Hobbs. "Affirmative, and after they assassinate the President, they will detonate the bomb, causing the other bombs in India, Asia, Europe and South Africa to detonate and then, the whole world will be sent to hell," explains Ronald.
"Okay, get the others and go to the command center, time for a meeting," 2:00 PM; Hobbs calls every agent in the room for a strategy meeting.
"Okay everyone, I have just received some information that could help us catch these mercenaries once and for all. This Friday, the mercenary group known as "Shadow of Death", is planning to assassinate the president during the State of The Union address. And after they do that they wil detonate the nuclear bomb, which will cause the other bombs, in the other four continents, to detonate as well," Johnny and Alison come into the room and they, respectfully, interrupt Hobbs.
"Sorry we're late. Me and Aly were making some adjustments to the decoy core," says Johnny.
"We modified the central processor, and we used a sensor from a proximity mine to strengthen it's signal. Now we made a simulation and we discovered that this core will diffuse anything that is linked to that object," explains Alison. Mary tells Hobbs that she found the location of the bomb.
"Sir, the bomb is located somewhere in Boston Massachusetts," Hobbs then looks at Ronald and Viviano.
"Okay, Slyblade and Slaughter, you guys will take the rest of the team with you to Boston. Your mission is to find and destroy the bomb!" Mary walks over to Ronald and Viviano.
"Now, I will be listening in on you guys from time to time. We will have limited contact once you land. I just have one request... Stay alive," says Mary.
"Okay fellas, Let's go to Boston!" says Ronald. Later in the evening, the team is seen flying in the Jet to Boston.
"I have to say, they are pretty ballsy to plan this out," says Alison.
"They are terrorists, in the mind of a terrorist, they only see that their beliefs are right. And that anybody who thinks otherwise, is just another target for them to eliminate," explains Viviano. Alison looks at a scar right near Viviano's sternum with curiosity.
"How did that happen to you?" she asks.
"A sniper in Gulmira, happened while me and my unit were out on patrol. It only grazed me," says Viviano.
"Oh, well I have something much worse than that," Allison lifts up her shirt, only moderately, to show a scar near her kidney area.
"Knife attack from an ISIS officer. Damaged my kidney, I was on the verge of dying... But I managed to survive long enough to get a kidney transplant from my sister," she says. Viviano then has a shocked look on her face.
"Really... You had a Sister?" she asks. Alison changes her expression.
"Emphasis on the word "had". She died during the procedure... She gave her life to save mine," says Alison, wiping a tear from her eye.
"God... I'm so sorry," says Viviano.
"No, it's okay, I am proud of what my sister did. If it was not for her, I would never get to see my son again," says Alison.
"You are a brave woman Alison, you thought of your son in that moment when your sister thought of you. I would do the same thing in a heartbeat," says Viviano.
"That's nice to know, from the most dangerous woman in the world that is," says Alison. Viviano has a confused look on her face.
"So, you are intimidated by me?" Alison then shakes her head at Viviano's question.
"No, you wanna know why? Because you are not my enemy," she says. Meanwhile Ronald and Xavier are seen playing "Mortal Kombat X" on the Xbox One.
"Liu Kang always is the fastest character in th series with no question," says Ronald.
"Liu may be fast, But Sub-Zero can slow that pesky Shaolin Monk down," replies Xavier. Ronald and Xavier pause the game and they have a friendly conversation with each other.
"You know X', I never knew why you became a soldier in the first place," says Ronald. Xavier then takes a deep breath and he begins to tell Ronald his story.
"I became a soldier, to honor my wife. She was a major in the Navy. She was killed by a sniper... Direct hit to heart, the last message she gave me, was that she was going to retire. She was ready to be a mom, ready to start a family with me," says Xavier. Ronald puts his hand on Xavier's shoulder.
"I'm sorry X'. But look on the bright side, your wife, she is in a better place now. And she would be very proud of you, for honoring her memory," says Ronald. In another area of the jet, Alexandria, Johnny and Nuada are seen playing three way Uno with each other.
"Draw two Alex, Uno!" says Johnny.
"Skip you Johnny. Alexandria, your turn," Nuada says.
"Draw four Johnny, the color is blue," says Alexandria. Nuada puts down a blue number 6 card, allowing Alexandria to place a blue number 9 card in the pile.
"Uno!" Alexandria yells, as Johnny places a red number nine in the pile of cards. Nuada draws from the deck, allowing Alexandria to place a red number one card in the pile.
"Uno out!" says Alexandria.
"Damn, you play a good hand," compliments Johnny.
"Good game guys," says Alexandria.
"So Johnny, how certain are you that your device will work?" Asks Nuada.
"Dead certain, I just have a good feeling that this chain reaction plan is going to work," says Johnny.
"We can only hope that it does work, the last thing we want is the 1940's to repeat itself all over again," says Alexandria.
"Alex, Hobbs mentioned that you were once affiliated with the Mexican Cartel. Is that true?" asks Nuada.
"That was a long time ago, while I was still a merc. Members of the Cartel would hire me, to take out the higher ups of Mexico. I was very good at my job, until The Cartel members killed my father and mother, betraying my trust and the contract we singned," says Alexandria.
"So, what did you do?" asks Johnny.
"I got my revenge on them all. That is when I retired from my previous profession and I went into seclusion. I lived a quiet life ever since, trying to get over my parents death, but now I see, I can't hide from the truth..." says Alexandria.
"Which is?" Asks Johnny.
"That this is who I am, a killer. I didn't think I would be cut out for this 'saving the world' thing. But, when you are given the chance to right your wrongs, I guess it's as good of a chance as any," says Alexandria.
"Well, I guess we all had baggage in our past that we could not run away from. Sometimes your past can open your eyes to the world," says Johnny.
"Like how it did when you hacked the Air Force mainframe," says Alexandria.
"That wasn't a moment I was proud of..." says Johnny.
"But, you saved many lives from being taken, why are you so dodgy of that statement?" asks Nuada.
"When I leaked those documents, I betrayed the trust of my team and my superior officers. Although I felt like I had to reveal the truth, I always felt the guilt of exposing my team," Johnny reveals.
"But you did it anyway..." says Nuada.
"It was the right thing to do, I had to expose the truth no matter the cost. No matter how much guilt I feel, I went through with the decision to protect my team, even though they may hate me for it," says Johnny.
Nuada takes a big sigh, looking at the outside of the jet window, observing the clouds formations as the plane cruises through the night sky.
"When I was a general, I was betrayed by one of my own lieutenants. He killed many of the Marines that was on my battalion. I confronted him, killing him with extreme prejudice, but not before he shot me right in the shoulder blade," says Nuada.
"So that's why you retired from being a General," says Alexandria.
"Yeah. I tried running from my past, but I'm not running anymore. Our pasts don't define us, it's what we do now that matters," says Nuada.
"I agree, what we do here today, will create a better tomorrow," says Alexandria.
"Let's get some rest guys, we are going to need it," says Johnny.
2 days before the state of the union address, the team finally arrives in Boston Massachusetts, ready to disarm the bomb and save the world.
