Third person POV
One week later

Cardin and the three people he had come to know as Jason, Annabel, and Skylar; the three leaders of the terrorist group known as The Bringers of Rapture. Jason and Cardin were sitting in the back of the black van, while Skylar drive and Annabelle rode shotgun; all of them dressed in suits. Sky said. "Everyone remember the plan?" The three said. "Yeah." Skylar smirked. He drove up to the Vale Counsel building. Skylar pulled in to the underground parking garage, parked next to the elevators and climbed into the back of the van. The four each grab a duffel bag. As they pile into the elevator and hit the button for the ground floor. As the elevator made its way up slowly, the group opened the bags and started to put on medium ballistic vests. Jason pulled out an AK47 with dual drum magazine; vertical grip; and a collapsable stock for Cardin, a G36 with an extended magazine and an extended barrel for Annabelle , a USAS 12 with 12G frag rounds for himself, and finally a P90 with armor piercing ammunition for Skylar. Once they were all loaded, all four of them put on their black trench coats, fedoras, and wrapped their scarves around the bottom half of their faces. "Let's leave a message." Sky said as the doors open. Cardin was having a mini panic attack, he's never killed people before. The four of them exited the elevator and waited for a few seconds. Sky chambered a bullet in his P90, the noise made some people turn around. They opened fire on them. The a medium sized crowd, reduced to a mass of bloody, bullet riddled corpses. Jason opened fire on the ones who were fleeing. The grenade rounds were blowing off limbs left and right, Cardin hadn't fired a single bullet yet and Sky noticed this. "What's wrong, not having second thoughts now are you?" Cardin cleared his throat and said. "No. I'm good." Cardin killed a few of the people that Jason had dismembered. The four of them walked through the building and killed everyone within their sight. They finally made it to their destination, the main conference room, Skylar grabbed a grenade from his pocket, kick open the door and threw it in. The room exploded into fire; "Let's reach the extraction point." They passed a few windows and Jason looked out one of them. "SWAT team preparing for entry." Skylar chuckled. "Right on schedule. Let's move." The group hurried down stairs and opened the door that lead them behind an SWAT team, unaware of what stood behind them. The four opened fire and slaughtered them before most of them could react. Jason hurried over to the elevator and pushed the button. Instead of riding it down, Jason held the door open while Skylar placed another duffel bag in the center of the floor and attached a clear cord inside the bag and walked out of the elevator, then pressed the button to send the elevator to the bottom floor. Skylar tied the cord to a door knob and the group continued on they're way to the back entrances; an explosion shook the building and knocked Cardin off balance. Skylar steadied him and told the others. "Let's hurry. That blast won't keep them away for long." The four rushed down the stairs as several SWAT teams as well as human sized drones,all armed to the teeth, burst into the stairwell. Skylar instructed the others to head down to the basement and that he'd cover them. Jason, Annabel, and Cardin rushed down the stairs; shooting anyone who got in their way.

Eventually, they made it to a parked ambulance. Skylar came sprinting past and said. "I held them off, but they'll come down here soon." He knocked on the back of the ambulance doors and they opened, man dressed as a SWAT team member hopped out and said to Skylar. It's all set, so do I collect my payment?" Skylar nodded and helped the others get their gear into the back of the ambulance. They got in one by one; Jason first, then Annabel, then Skylar, and finally Skylar held out his hand to help Cardin in. "That was some message we sent." Jason said. Skylar said. "That wasn't the message." He shoved Cardin out of the back of the ambulance and pulled out his pistol. "This is." He shot Cardin in the head, splattering grey matter across the floor. "Did he really think that he fooled us?" Jason asked. Skylar said to his brother and sister. "When they identify the body, no one will trust the Hunters and Huntresses again." He pushed on the earpiece he had in. "The fire has been lit. Repeat, the fire has been lit." On the other end a female voice said. "Very good, meet back at the warehouse to discuss the plan for phase two."
