A window shattered. Glass shards everywhere. Blood everywhere. Blood coming out of Nairobi's mouth.

"Help, please!" Stockholm said as she was holding Nairobi, her hands were shaking in fear.

"Nairobi! Nairobi, please. Hold on!" Helsinki came running. "You have to hold on, Nairobi!" He went down on his knees, putting her head on his lap, letting her rest.

"I-I'm really fucked, Helsi." Nairobi looked up at him, struggling to speak.

"The bullet is inside. That's good, that's good. Well take it out." Helsinki smiled, caressing her as he was starting to tear up.

Everyone else came at the same time.

"Gauze! Gauze! Give me the gauze." Helsinki yelled. Denver ran quickly to the first aid kit to grab the gauze.

"Fuck!" Seoul started crying immediately and ran over to Nairobi and went down on her knees and held her hand. "Nairobi..."

"My pretty Seoul." Nairobi looked at her, holding her hands as well. Seoul's hand was covered in blood, as the police shot her with a sniper on the chest through the window.

"What the fuck." Bogotá's eyes were sides opened as he was shocked he went down on his knees like everyone else from the gang. "Is it inside?"

"Yes, it's inside." Helsinki replied.

"Morphine!" Tokyo yelled.

"They got me good. I'm destroyed inside." Nairobi said.

"No." Seoul was sniffing in sadness.

"Palermo, let's go!" Berlin patted Palermo on the shoulder to go to the library and tell the Professor what just had happened.

"Helsi... I saw my son. Just now. He's fine. When he turns 18 give him the money, and tell him who his mother was. Promise me." Nairobi started crying as well.

"Yes." Helsinki hugged Nairobi.

Tokyo turned to her "Look at me. You will do it yourself. Okay? You're gonna get out of here, and you'll do whatever you want."

Denver stood up and looked at the window. "Guys... guys, guys, guys! The bastards! They're coming with fucking tanks! Fuck!"

~~~

"Professor, it's Berlin. Do you copy? Professor, it's Palermo. Do you copy? Sergio! Are you there?!" Berlin started easing his voice at his little brother on the phone. "Sergio!"

"They executed Lisbon." He finally responded.

Berlin and Palermo looked both down on the floor and sighed. "They've taken down Nairobi here. A sniper. She's in grave condition.

"Berlin! Palermo! They're coming with a tank. They're going to knock down the door." Denver came running in the library, panicking.

"We're being attacked." Berlin said

"Berlin... this isn't a robbery... or a challenge to the system. This is war. Act accordingly."

"It was an honour to be under your command." Palermo said and puts the phone down. "DEFCON 2!"

"Denver! come!" Berlin yelled at him.

~~~

"Fuck." Seoul stood up and started walking in circles while looking down. She couldn't think straight. She kept thinking about how she said she had promised to protect Nairobi and everyone else from the gang back in the monastery.
