Ch82: Ah Shit, Here We Go Again!

Times Square, Manhattan, New York.
March 5st
8:45 AM

Today started pretty early for everyone. Because the UN council meeting where the president would appear would take place at 9 in the morning there were many things to prepare so from six in the morning we were awake. My mother had already gone there with Xian, they would take care of her safety and transportation. But just in case I also made Lisa go with her in her shadow, obviously, she is not allowed to leave unless it is to defend my mother from an imminent attack, this time I even made sure to give it to her as an order because with so many people important we cannot take risks. Tamamo and Maria, for their part, wanted to check out one of the largest stores in New York that were a little further south, so I let the two of them go, in any case, they have telephones and Charlotte is monitoring what is happening. For my part, I was with Momo and the twins still at the hotel. Well, since I couldn't be close to the UN then I would stay here to be able to respond to what might happen, as it was quite close anyway.

And the truth was everything was fine until it wasn't.

We were watching on television the news about the visit to the event to see what the result of our mission would be, there were about 15 minutes before the President came to the stage to give his speech, but suddenly the signal on the television left. It seemed strange to me that something like that happened in a place like this and less in a hotel so I got up to ask one of my daughters about what just happened. Sirens began to sound all over the city, anticipating that something was coming.

"Emergency services are reporting a lot of unusual activity on the Lower East Side and the Financial District!" Charlotte yelled giving a while she jumped from the chair.
"Something big is happening!"
"Right now the Pentagon is communicating with the National Guard, the Fort Garrison and Fort Bragg went on red alert, they are preparing to mobilize."
"The city's air defense system is online!"

"Oh, God!" Immediately my stomach turned over and I felt a great need to go to the bathroom.
"What the heck is going on !?"

But Charlotte did not need to answer me, because as soon as I finished speaking I listened as the C-Ram hidden between the buildings began to shoot towards the south, not long after a couple of explosions were heard in the air. Kazumi who was looking at the window ran, took out her cable, and also connected to the computer to help.

"D.I.A reports the presence of unidentified flying objects in the area"
"They appear to be short-range missiles"
"According to initial reports they are proceeding from about 7 kilometers to the south" Kazumi reported

Again the C-Ram fired and a couple of explosions were heard again. This escalated very fast.

"Okay, call Tamamo immediately, tell her to protect my sister and return immediately"
"Also let my mother know, call her but if she does not answer do not insist, leave her a message"
"She could be very busy and she also is in the safest place in the city"

The people in the street began to look confused at what was happening. In the sky, I could see now how the missiles were approaching the city and how the air defenses were doing their best to destroy them before they reached the buildings. It seemed to some managed to impact somewhere.

"This doesn't look like your typical bunch of soldiers on the loose, this is big"
"I want to know what is happening now!"

"An armed group is heading towards the UN building on second and third avenues!"
"They have heavy attack vehicles, it seems that they are tanks according to the police" Said Kazumi
"Currently they entered into combat with the building's defense corps"

"What the hell!"
"Tanks !?"
"How did they get to a city like New York without anyone noticing!"

"I can't contact Mom or grandmother"
"Public telephone lines have been shut down"
"Only military level communication is available"
"If I connect to them they will notice our presence"
