Chapter 43: A terrible day
.
....
?: Thanks for coming to this interview Mayor Galavan, it must have been hard to get here, especially with all the trouble lately.
Mayor Galavan: No problem, I think we need to show these bunch of criminals we are not afraid.
?: You think they are criminals?
Mayor Galavan: I think they are just a bunch of lunatics, we should not fear them, that's what they want.
?: Brave words but they are a threat for the city, is it true that especially Manhattan is in danger?
Mayor Galavan: No, according to our research it's just a anomaly and nothing more.
?: So everyone should be afraid?
Mayor Galavan: No, and as long as I am the mayor of the city I will protect it.
?: Hihi, okay, so what is known about the identity of the Fear man?
Mayor Galavan: The Media calls him the fear man, that was a huge mistake. See there is no Fear man, it's just a Lunatic with a mask. And I am sure his ego is tripping through the roofs upon hearing that name.
?: Well spoken Mayor, but what about the damage?
Mayor Galavan: What damage?
?: Well, at least a dozen deads are confirmed and some people are still missing.
Mayor Galavan: It's horrible but we need to focus on what's important, not to show fear.
?: But there's a problem dear Mayor, It's not a choice to fear or not. Your entire city is afraid for an organization that can't be traced by the FBI.
Mayor Galavan: Are you suggesting that we are scared? One who's side are you?
?: I am a journalist, I am impartial but if I had to choose a side, fear is winning.
Mayor Galavan: It's not.
?: Yes it is, and it's taking over your city, slowly but surely.
Mayor Galavan: This conversation is over.
?: Please stay.
Mayor Galavan: Sorry but I nee-
?: I said please stay.
Mayor Galavan: Is that a-
?: This is a detonator indeed and here look what I have in my pocket.
Mayor Galavan: how did you get a gun through the security?
?: Security is that how you mortal call it? That's funny, now I suggest you calm down.
Mayor Galavan: SECURITY!
?: Ha! They won't come to help you Mayor.
Mayor Galavan: What have you done to them, you monster!
?: You know, my mom always says, Love conquers all, My father says violence is the key. So I decided to mix those two things and informed your precious security about their families.
Mayor Galavan: You monster, what do you want?
?: Follow me to the window.
Mayor Galavan: We don't negotiate with Terrorist, you'll never get out alive.
?: I am fear, and fear is bullet proof so don't worry about the snipers, now let's take a nice look out of the window, shall we?
Mayor Galavan: Oh my god, is that?
?: You know, I think a plane will get through your security, well at least you go out with a bang.

"Mommy, the kids at school say I am a monster." the girl cried out.
Her mother hugged her tightly and let the girl cry out on her shoulder.
"You are not, you are my beautiful daughter." she whispered into her daughter's ear.
"And they say mean things about my eyes," the girl sobbed, "They call me a monster and no one wants to play with me during playtime."
The woman looked her daughter into the eyes, "You are beautiful, your eyes are beautiful, those kids are just too stupid to realise it."
The girl sobbed, "But you are the only one who likes me."
"Listen Loren, sooner or later, you will find someone who respects you and bring you all the love and friends you deserve, " she promised.
"Just like I did." she mumbled.
....
"Are we there yet?" the man with the gun asked annoyed, he had the gun pointed at the pilot, the other two were dead on the floor and it was getting messy and he was getting bored.
"The plane isn't going to fly faster if you point that gun at me." the man sneered, "Just let us go you sick bastard!"
The man snickered, "You seem a bit nervous."
"Ofcourse you fucking creep." the pilot said, trying to stay focused on keeping this plane in the air.
"What about a riddle?" the man asked innocently.
"What if you just let me land this plane and get all the citizens out!"
"So a plane crashes and everyone dies except two, how is that possible?" the man asked smiling.
"You are a monster."
"Because they were a couple!" The man yelled, laughing.
"I don't get it."
"Well, maybe Hades can explain it to you." the man said and he pointed the gun at the pilot, they were close enough. They had done all the calculations, he was just here to make some fun.
Sure, it would be easy to kill the mayor on sight but that was boring, this was way better.
"What?" the pilot shrieked.
The man shot the pilot through the head and the moment he fired the plane leaned downwards.
The man almost fell but managed to gain his balance.
While the Manhattan came closer he picked up the microphone.
"Good news Ladies and Gentlemen, We are going to land soon, bad news, it will be an emergency landing!"
....
"We are going east." Lycaon said.
"What about Yaman?" one of his werewolf's said.
"We'll find him later, once we got rid of the hunters."
....
News break!
With the horrible deaths and terrorist attack in Manhattan all the rules are suspended for a unknown amount of time. Police corpse from nearby states will come to aid the citizens, it's important to stay home and close your doors.
I repeat, New York is now in a state of war and all crimes can be punished by the authorities as they see fit.
...
"Now Samirah, I want you to listen to my command."
"Yes father."
"It's about this boy, Percy Jackson."
