Chapter Twenty Six:
Reckoning
The New Orleans International Airport was jam packing with people. Many trying to catch their flights for other places.
To the security it was just another normal day for them.
Kids ran around, playing tag or follow the leader.
Parents waited in line for their next turn to get their bags and airline tickets checked out.
Everything was so crazy that no one noticed the UPS guy pulling a large wooden box into the middle of the middle of the lobby. The man made sure that the large box was perfectly in the middle of the huge crowd. Then he left.
A security guard took notice for the large box and walked towards it. He bent down and tried to pick it up.
Darn this thing is heavy! he thought.
The box was so wide and large that it nearly covered his entire face.
Then... he heard something ticking inside the box.
The sound made him stop and listen.
The ticking continued, getting more louder by the second.
The security guard's eyes widened in fear and he suddenly knew what it was.
But before he could yell out, he heard a loud click.
The box suddenly exploded, completely incinerating the man. A few people were burnt from the explosive and a few others flew to the floor from the blast. Many people started yelling and screaming. From the flames of the explosive came a green mist. It spread like a wild fire and went around the lobby.
Men, women, and children started coughing up blood. Then their skin changed color. Everyone started falling to the floor, screaming in pain. Their bones began to break and then each one became silent after the next few seconds that followed.
The green mist continued to spread and it infected anyone who was in its way.
The event became a national wide news coverage. Many people were calling it a terrorist attack or an undeclared act of war from another nation.
The green mist soon disappeared from the airport, leaving behind bodies in its wake.
Mrs. Jones and Mr. Byrne heard of the news in Las Vegas while still in the control room.
"My God!" exclaimed Mrs. Jones as she fell into a seat.
"How many casualties?" Joe asked as he rubbed his forehead.
"Numbers are around 520 dead... sir" said a tearful woman.
The large computer screen in front of them had CNN on the channel, with the news footage of the event in New Orleans.
Suddenly the news footage changed. It was no longer in New Orleans but somewhere else. In a dark meeting room.
"What is this?!" Joe demanded to know.
A man with blonde hair and pale bue eyes appeared in front of the screen. He smiled as he stared into the screen.
Joe immediately knew who it was.
It was Issac Cole!
"Hello," Issac spoke. "As you are aware, none of your internet connections work at this moment. Neither does the entire system of the United States govermemt. All of these are now under our control. We have plans to use them to our advantage."
"Jesus!" Mrs. Jones excknowledged.
Issac continued.
"As you can see, my organization is responisble for the event in the New Orleans International Airport. We set off that bomb. One that the world hasn't seen before. We used enough of the toxin inside to just wipe out those in the airport. But make no mistake, the others that we have planted all over the United States have more than enough to wipe out an entire city."
"You have got to be kidding me!" someone whispered.
"We have no demands. Only this as a warning for future events: Firstly, the United States will be defenseless to stop us. Secondly, we will take all of America's wealth. And thirdly, we will detonate every single bomb around the United States within three hours from now. Thank you for your cooperation and enjoy your Reckoning!"
The screen switched from Issac back to the CNN channel.
Everyone stood there in silence, in fear. Everything in that very room felt dark and eerie.
"Was that massage only for us or did the entire nation see that?" Joe asked.
A woman could barely talk, "I believe that the entire nation just heard that, sir."
Joe rubbed his head again.
"Jesus!" he said. "They manage to take over the entire system and we cannot do anything to stop them!"
Mrs. Jones looked at him and said, "Alex Rider can stop them."
Joe shook his head.
"Look, Mrs. Jones, Alex has been successful in the past, but this is different now. He cannot take on Chimera like this!"
"I believe in him!" Mrs. Jones protested. "He can do this! He is our only hope!"
"Let's hope so!" Joe said. "Because in three hours time, nothing will be left of us."
The end begins! I cannot wait! The final few chapters are here!
Hope that you guys liked it! Again! I most certainly did!
