"Adam, do you have visual?" Shiro asked him. "Yes. I can see you guys. Be careful." Shiro turned to his superior. "Chief Holt, how do you want to do this?"

"You, me, and Matthew will watch from the front, side, and the back, respectively. There's a brick wall covering the left side of the building, so there's no way the bomber could get in that way." Chief Sam Holt said. "Make sure to aim but don't shoot. We want this suspect alive." "Yes, sir." "Alright, let's move into positions."

The three started toward the US Embassy building when they heard a voice call out to them. "Wait!" The three turned around and saw Katie, their newest prodigy field agent standing there looking lost. "Can I come?"

Sam smiled and walked toward his 20 year old daughter. He put his hands on her small, bony shoulders. "You stay here and keep watch. Make sure to monitor cars entering the building. Turn away any civilian cars. Got it?"

Katie frowned. "But Dad, I want to go in and help you, Shiro, and Matt!" Sam hugged her. "Listen, I know you want to help, but this is for us more experienced agents, alright? I promise, we'll be back."

Katie was reluctant. She had a bad feeling about this, but she couldn't tell her father because it was only just a hunch. "Okay. I'll keep watch here, then." Sam smiled. "That's my girl. Now, gentlemen, let's move."

She watched as she saw her father and Shiro get into positions in the front and the side of the building. They looked threatening with their bullet proof vests, their large machine guns, and their helmets. They looked more like they were going to a war zone than a government building.

She turned around and watched for incoming cars. Gee, it sure is oddly...quiet. She thought to herself. She would think that in St. Petersburg, that the city would be more alive than it was, especially at 1:30 PM.

She waited and waited. All was silent. The only noises that she heard were the sounds of cars honking in the distance, and the wind rustling through the trees.

And then...

The worst sound she's ever heard in her life.

Just when she was about to turn around, she heard an explosion, louder than a jet engine, enter her delicate ears. She turned around to see the building ablaze. Some debris from the explosion grazed her forehead, leaving a small gash.

Onlookers and government workers alike surrounded the area and were screaming and calling the police. Katie ran toward the scene of the disaster, her legs felt heavy. No no no! Please be okay, dad, Matt and Shiro! PLEASE!

She ran to the front of what was left of the building. The overwhelming smell of iron filled her nostrils and gave her an instant headache. She gagged as she looked down and saw parts of limbs, appendages, and organs lay below her feet. The walkway toward the building was a dark crimson.

She looked to her left and saw Shiro. Blood covered the area where Shiro laid face down on the pavement. Katie screamed when she saw that Shiro's right arm was no longer attached to his shoulder. She looked around for it, but it was nowhere to be found.

Katie felt her vision fade, and next thing she knew, she slipped into unconsciousness.
