Chapter 2
The story of Asgari's violent death traveled among the terrorists quickly. The only eyewitness was Mohammad Nihkad, but in the night he couldn't make out everything. But his 6'11" frame eliminated lots of the suspects. This is what happened. One tall guy commits a crime, every tall guy becomes suspicious. A few innocent terrorists figured out that all five of them were innocent, and started a program called the Traitor Watch List, aka TWL. These five people wrote down physical features of suspicious terrorists and broadcasted them to everyone once a week. For example, if a man on the fat side was sighted doing something suspicious, then they would add "fat" to the list so everyone would know to stay away from large people. Mohammad Nihkad was also put on the TWL, just because he was near the place where Tavaazo murdered Asgari. Mohammad wanted to take initiative and find out who the traitors were. However, all of the other innocent's main focus was to stay alive.
When Mohammad was preparing a meal for himself from some of the canned food he had scavenged, he heard another single gunshot. He cautiously peered through a window to see a man dying on the ground, a gun next to him. Mohammad looked around. There was no one else in the field where the corpse lay. He figured there was a sniper nearby, so it would be a very bad idea to go out into the field. It was then that he saw movement in the forest next to him. Without thinking, Nihkad threw the incinerary grenade into the forest. After he threw it, he realized what an idiotic thing he had just done. Throwing a grenade that would catch the whole forest on fire. He cursed himself, grabbed his backpack, and sprinted off. On his way, he scooped up the shotgun that belonged to the corpse. He took a look over his shoulder to see that the fire was spreading very quickly. He knew there would be a ton of people coming to see what was going on soon, so he wanted to get out of there as fast as possible. He stopped in a six story building about 1,000 yards away from the fire. He ran to the top floor so he would have a good view of what was going on. As he sat there watching the commotion, he checked the ammo in his shotgun. It had a full clip, but that was only 8 shots and there were no extra magazines. Still, it was better than nothing. Mohammad saw a large man duck into a military post across the street from the building he was in. He thought it may have been Tavaazo, the only terrorist who had been proven a traitor so far. It was a bit too far away to get a good shot off for a shotgun, which was mainly for mid-range. But should he go down and finish off Tavaazo? He couldn't be sure that it was him, and if it wasn't, he would be the target of many innocents. But then again, it would be easy to do it with all the commotion already going on. He loaded his gun and silently crept down the stairs and across to the military post to see Tavaazo planting a C4.
