The following day, Robert knocks on both Jack and Frank's rooms: “C'mon, get up, we need to work!” “What time is it?” Jack asks, still asleep. “It's 6 AM, so get up and come to the kitchen, move!”.
They both get up from the bed, change and reach the kitchen. Meanwhile, Robert is making breakfast and says: “Good morning. So, I made some toast, eggs, and bacon if it’s okay for you guys?” “Yeah, that sounds good,” they both answer.
“Ok, we need to create the team, by the way,” Robert says, “I know a guy or two that could help us,” Frank answers, “While you guys are going to recruit these two guys, I will have an excellent talk with our guest,” Jack says.
“Good, so Frank, who are these people?” Robert wonders. “They are friends of mine. One is the best sniper I know. His name is Jason Price and he was a Marine, honorably discharged. We think he's now living in the mountains of Vermont.” “Good, and the other one?” Jack asks.
“The other one is Lisa Hölzer. She is a great medic. She saved one of my teammates in Afghanistan. We need her,” Frank replies, “Ok, I will prepare everything and go as soon as possible. In the meanwhile, Jack,
you will report us everything you can get from that dude,” Robert demands.
Everyone gets up from the table and starts to get ready. Frank takes the car’s keys, saying: “C'mon, I'm ready to go,” “I'm coming,” Robert replies.
Jack prepares his tools for the talk while everyone gets out of the HQ, and Jack salutes Frank and Robert. They both go to the car, and Robert says: “Go to the Stansted Airport: we are going to take my jet and land at the international airport there,” “Ok, the international airport in Vermont is the Burlington, it takes approximately 6/7 hours to get there, and other 3 hours with the car,” “Well we better hurry up then.” They start leaving the HQ and drive towards the airport.
Jack takes the guest out of the cage and brings him to the Special Interrogation room: “Ok dude, now you and I are gonna have a nice chat.” he ties up the terrorist to the chair and starts with the questions.
“So, what’s your name?” “Go to hell, American!” Jack grabs the hand of the terrorist and says: “First, I’m not American, but I’m from England, and if you don’t answer correctly, I will hurt you badly, my friend. Tell me, what’s your name?” “My name is Yakov,” Jack leaves the hand of Yakov and says: “Good, now where are you from, and why did your group want to hijack the plane?” “I’m Ukraine, and the group wanted to destroy every city built with capitalism.”
“And who is the leader of this group?” “I don’t know, and I will certainly not tell you that!” Jack grabs a wrench aimed at one of the fingers of Yakov and slams it, saying: “I'm not asking you again! Who is the leader?!” Yakov, still screaming, replies: "Jykz! I only know him. I don't know who is the leader of the group…” “Who is this Jykz?! I need to know everything about him!” “I met him a few days ago,” “Keep going!” Jack replies while aiming at the other fingers.
“So, how did you meet this guy?” Jack asks, “I will not tell you that!” At this point, Jack raises the wrench, and instead of hitting the fingers, he hits the leg of Yakov, then he says: “Ok, now are you gonna talk!?” Yakov, screaming from the pain, replies: “I know him from the internet!” “Ok, where specifically?” “I… I met him on a forum, he never told anyone his real name”.
''So, did you meet him in real life?” “No, I’ve never seen him in real life,” “And how did you get the needed information for the attack?” He drops a bag in a specific spot with all of the information. “I thought I was alone in the attack because he gave me the instruction saying I’m the only attacker.”
With a bit of surprise, Jack replies: “Weird, cause you are not the only attacker, there were other five guys with you, did you know them?” “No, I did not know them” “and seeing the other five guys get up with you didn’t give you some doubts?” “Yes, I mean he told me that I was the only one, so at first, I got a little scared and surprised that I wasn’t the only one, but I saw the other guys with the same mask as mine, and I didn’t worry that much.”
Jack lights up a cigarette and starts saying: “So, you met this dude on a forum, what forum is it?” “The main point of the forum is that it hates capitalism. It’s a worldwide forum.” “How did you enter this forum?” “It’s not so simple. You need an invite from someone who is already in to see or post, from ordinary people is a regular site where you can sign up, post like normal photos, discuss everything, but there is a secret section where you need a password that changes every time”.
Jack starts to say: “And can you invite me to this secret section?” “I don’t know, technically I’m dead by the other users” “What do you mean by ‘dead by the other users’?” “Well, the news most likely has talked about a group of people that attacked the plane, and they are dead, so Jykz knows that I’m dead, and if I ever log in on my PC again, he will see that it’s not me and block me to see and invite in the Secret Section.”
Jack, while rubbing his head, starts to say, “Okay, so basically, we need to find another user to enter this 'Secret Section'?” Yakov, with a smile on his face, replies: “Yes, and most probably you will never locate another user; we are ghosts, so nobody can notice us” Jack puts out the cigarette on him and says: “Well, 'ghost', tell me who invited you in the first place then,” Jack replies.
Yakov starts to remember who invited him to the forum while Jack is impatient and says: “So, are you gonna do something useful or not?” “Useful for who? For you, maybe, but what will I get if I help you?” While he is reloading his gun, Jack says: “I will spare your miserable life.” “You can’t do that! I’m important to you!” “Are you sure? you didn’t give me helpful information so why should I let you live?” Yakov thinks about what to say.
Jack points the gun at Yakov’s face: “So, are you gonna say something or let the gun talk?!” Yakov is sweating profusely, in complete shock, and starts to stutter: “I-I-I d-don’t know! Some dude sent me a link to a survey with weird questions like ‘if I wanna join a group to destroy capitalism’ and other questions similar
to that.” “And what do I need to do to get this survey?” “First you need to obtain the attention of the 'recruiter' and pass another survey before getting the real survey.” After giving the forum’s link, Yakov is sweating more than earlier.
With a bit of confusion, he slowly puts the gun away and says: ”Jeez, so many surveys for joining this crap, but now I have the information that I need to bring in a plan for joining this organization. In the meantime, I will take you to your nice cage.” Yakov begins to panic and says: “No! Don't bring me back to the cell!” “I don't need you anymore, that's why I'm taking you back there.”
After putting Yakov in the cell, Jack sends a message to Frank saying that they got all the information they want while getting inside the HQ and writes on the board everything they know and say: “Wow, that's a mess… Lemme start working on that site and in the meantime I’ll wait for Frank and Robert.”
