Chapter 27:
The Sleeping Dragon
"I know what it might mean. If it will be, then so it shall be. Pride is nothing compared to doing the right thing!" Percy said with confidence
"Alright sir, and when will the attack start?" Bruce
"General?! Are you insane?!" Trevor
"Fully knowing the nature of man, i know that man deserves to be eradicated in this world, due to their sins. But the goodness of man also makes me think that man deserves a chance, which is why im supporting the president in this, since its the right thing to do." Bruce said seriously
"Hahh.. fine. Then let there be light upon the lands of mystery, such is the middle east." Trevor
"Meetings over people, lets go to work. I still have some work to do. Oh, and attack starts in just 4 hours from now, so lets prepare people." Percy
"Yes sir!" They both said before leaving the office
"Hahh.. this makes me wonder, if only the quantum, or magic, wasnt ever discovered." Percy said before calling tom hollow on the line
After 2 hours of work, percy goes to the pentagon where they have done preparing everything.
"Sir, preparations are complete." Bruce said after they all salute upon his entry
They were now at the pentagon, where they are ready to launch ICBMs.
"And what is the response with pakistan?" Percy
"They are now admitting their fault sir, and is announcing it now to the world." A general said
"Good. Lets all prepare for the fireworks then." Percy
"Sir, what will we do after the launch?" Bruce
"I would announce to the world on what has happened. Terrorists, organizations, neo nazis, its all meaningless in the face of death. Thus its time for them to meet their maker." Percy said seriously
"Yes sir!" They all said
"Sir, shouldnt you make the speech now?" Trevor
"Hmm.." percy
"There is still time left before the launch anyways." Trevor
"Maybe not. I will leave the speeches maybe after the launch." Percy
"Alright then. So, what will you do until then? Since your arrival, there is still about 30 minutes left until launch." Trevor
"Then set the timer to 30 minutes, and monitor all the media if there is any news about the plan being leaked." Percy
"Yes sir!" They all said
"If you will excuse me, i have to make a call." Percy said before he faces the wall, by the entrance
*ring*
"Hello?"
"Hello jake, its me, percy trident."
"Oh! And what makes you call so early in the morning?"
"So its early in the morning there huh. Anyways, did you already hear about the recent attack in new york?"
"Yeah, i heard. What are you going to do about it? If i may ask."
"I say nuke the bastards."
"I see."
"But here is my question, did i do the right thing?"
"That, i dont know. Whats right and wrong depends on the person. But if you deem it as the right thing to do, then so shall it be."
"Maybe i will change the question. What would you do in my position jake?"
"If i were in your position, i would have done the same, probably. Well, the point is, do what you have to do sir, its your call."
"Hahh.. even you are putting pressure on me."
"Well, thats what being leaders are for, they resist the pressure and make the tough decisions."
"Alright then, thanks for the pep talk. And congrats on her pregnancy by the way."
"Thanks." Jake said before percy cuts the line
"Sir, 5 minutes more until launch." Bruce said as he nears percy
"Alright, lets get this show on the road." Percy
"May god bless america, and the world as well." Bruce
"You said it right." Percy said before walking towards the others
After the countdown, the ICBMs all launched towards the terrorist hideouts, even within cities.
