November 21, 2011 Central Intelligence Agency Headquarters, Langley, Virginia
Two men occupied a small, dim room. The moon shined through the blinds and casted bars of light on both the men. One paced back and forth in the room with heavy footsteps thumping on the carpet, the other sat in the single chair taking long, hard, drags from his cigarette.
"They're dead...The Patriots...and you'll never guess how." said the man as he stopped his routine walk.
"...hmm?"
"Apparently assassination...bullet wounds found pierced in all of their skulls."
"Somebody found their location!?"
"Seems so, got to be someone important enough to have clearance to that sort of information."
"Hmmm...where were the bodies located?"
"Dumped....their bodies lied in a perfect line on the footsteps of Federal Hall."
"They've been identified?"
"We thought we had it.."
"..and?"
"No idea, we have no idea who these men were. No records of any of them besides DNA. And their DNA matches up with no records."
"Trying to keep hush-hush on the whole situation huh?"
"Kind of hard to when their bodies were witnessed by every on looking pedestrian walking the streets of Manhattan."
"I guess you're right, but all they know is that there's 12 dead men. Nothing about 12 dead Patriots."
"Maybe not 12 Patriots ruling their very country, but It's not often that 12 dead men lay on Federal Halls doorstep and be nothing but a lunatics desperate call for attention."
"So...any idea who might have done this?"
"Snake, don't play dumb."
"hmm?"
"Did you really think we would call you all the way over here just to tell you that?"
"Snake, we know who did it."
"Who?" Snake said in obvious suspense.
"...............you did."
As those softly spoken words drifted off a squad of soldiers busted into the room. The lights flashed on, and Snake was surrounded.
"Freeze!!" the soldier shouted.
"Get down on the ground NOW!"
Snake cooperated without question, though his face was shocked and puzzled.
The man who accused Snake walked out of the room slowly speaking his final words.
"Snake, you've let us all down. You've destroyed the very structure of this great country. You will die."
The soldiers hauled off Snake through the door and down the long labyrinth of hallways...
Meanwhile...
"Good afternoon, This is your reporter Anna Silverburgh with channel 5 News. We are on the spot at Federal Hall were 12 men were shot and killed. Their bodies lined up on the stairway---"
"12 men were found dead on the spot on Federal Hall, the men have apparently not be successfully identified and police say that---"
"Mysteriously the bodies have not been identified. FBI officials have DNA samples of the men but they are of no use---"
"Police say that the suspect has left absolutely no traces of fingerprints, bodily fluids, or anything that could help them in their lead---"
"12 dead men, all gunshot wounds to the head. Their bodies spread out in a perfect lines on the stairway of Federal Hall---"
Each channel and news station held the same reports on the crisis. In every house on every street, TVs were on showing the news over and over again. Stating the same facts, showing interviews, and talking amongst themselves about the current event. The 12 men's deaths were known nationwide.
