[A Sentinel Situation] - Trask's Downfall - The Threat

In the meeting room of the White House,

* BANG *

* BANG *

* BANG *

Nixon and the other officials hid themselves under the table while Trask kept firing at them.

Nixon turned to his security advisor - Henry Kissinger and asked angrily, "Where are the rest of them? When will they arrive?! After I'm dead?!"

Kissinger replied, "T-They will be here any minute now, Mr. President."

Nixon peeked above the table and saw Trask firing the submachine gun with a crazy smile on his face.

He ducked under the table and said to Kissinger, "If they don't come here in a second, I swear to God I w-"

But, at that moment, several SS agents burst through the door and pointed their guns at Trask.

* BANG *

* BANG *

* BANG *

He jumped and hid behind a desk and returned fire at the SS agents.

* BANG *

* BANG *

* BANG *

The SS agents quickly took cover and waited when Trask was firing at them.

. . .

Outside the White House,

* WEE WOO*

* WEE WOO *

* WEE WOO *

Multiple police cars with their sirens blaring, sped through the roads as they approached the building.

The onlookers watched as the police cars stopped in front of the entrance to the building and officers got out of the car.

A young male officer hurriedly walked toward the onlookers and ordered, "Please step back! This is not a drill! We are forming a safe perimeter! Please step back!"

The people around him began murmuring among themselves.

As the officer tried to make the people move away from the building, a crowd began to form in front of him.

Among the crowd, an old man shouted at the officer, "Wh-What's going on?"

The rest of the crowd followed after the old man and they began shouting questions at the officer.

"Yes! Tell us!"

"What's going on?"

"Why won't you tell us?"

"What're you hiding?"

The officer tried to contain the situation but he couldn't.

Suddenly, a news van arrived and stopped at the side of the road.

The crowd turned their attention to the news van.

The officer clicked his tongue in annoyance when he saw the van.

A female news reporter and the cameraman got out of the car hurriedly.

The reporter checked her makeup and her hair as she asked, "Do I look good? Is everything okay?"

The man held the camera and showed her a thumbs-up. He gestured to her that the recording was about to begin.

"3...2...1!"

The reporter switched to her professional demeanor and began, "Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. This is Sarah Ballanger reporting live from outside the White House, where we have an ongoing, highly concerning situation. We have just received reports of an active shooter inside the White House premises."

As soon as the crowd heard the reporter say 'active shooter', they began shouting among themselves.

"There is an active shooter?!"

"Run!!!"

"Help!! I think I'm having a panic attack!"

The crowd began running away frantically as they panicked.

The reporter gestured at the police cars and camera panned at the officers and said, "Law enforcement agencies are on high alert, and multiple units have been deployed to the scene. As you can see behind me, the area has been cordoned off, and security personnel are actively working to secure the situation."

The camera panned back at her and she continued, "The White House is currently in lockdown and..."

. . .

Inside the White House,

Trask and the SS agents were locked in a fierce confrontation.

They exchanged fire at each other for several minutes.

One of the SS agents gritted his teeth and whispered to another agent beside him, "What the fuck is wrong with this guy? How can his aim be better than some of us? We did a background check on this guy but we found nothing that would provide reason behind his ai-"

* BANG *

The SS agent couldn't finish his sentence as a bullet pierced through his forehead and he fell on the floor.

'Trask' glanced around and noticed that most of the remaining SS agents were outside of the room while some of the officials had gotten out of the room.

He noticed that the President was still in the room and he grinned sinisterly.

He fired at the SS agents and ran toward where Nixon was hidden.

* BANG *

* BANG *

* BANG *

Nixon, along with Kissinger, hid behind the table and they heard more shots.

He said to Kissinger, "This is going to be a stain on my re-election. People are going to question my authority. First Watergate and now this.... "

He murmured, "How would I win my re-election?"

Suddenly, he noticed a shadow and raised his head.

What he saw made his blood run cold.

Trask was pointing the gun at him and said, "Worry about staying alive first, old man."

* WHAM *

Trask hit Nixon in the face with the butt of the gun.

Nixon fell on the floor and a deep cut appeared on his cheek.

Trask grabbed Nixon by the collar and he aimed the gun at Kissinger and said, "Goodbye, Mr. Kissinger."

* BANG *

* BANG *

Nixon watched in horror as Trask shot Kissinger twice and he saw Kissinger fall on the floor.

The SS agents outside noticed that Trask didn't fire back and they burst inside the room.

However, what they saw made their blood boil.

Nixon had the submachine gun pointing at his head with Trask grabbing on his collar.

He had a triumphant smile on his face and taunted the agents, "If you don't want the President to die, drop your weapons!!"

. . .

Outside the White House,

The reporter continued, "At this time, we are still gathering information, and details remain limited. We do not have confirmed information about the shooter's identity, motive, or potential casualties. We do-"

She raised her head upwards at the sky and her eyes widened in shock as she blurted out, "What the fuck?'

The cameraman immediately gestured at her but she pointed at the sky and said, "Look! Victor! Look! There! In the sky!"

Victor raised the camera toward the sky and what he saw was the X - Jet flying toward them.
