Mrs. Nakamura once more left with a smile, today was the birthday of her 10-year-old son and she had ordered a cake on his birthday, she was a regular customer and one of the leaders of the neighborhood association, she was great It helps to be able to build my store here so I thank her very much for the appreciation.

Today the day is quite pleasant and calm. I had managed to work enough these past days so I took the chance to take this day off and make a cake in the morning to give to my granddaughters in the afternoon. I have not had much time to talk to them but since everyone is making an effort, I also plan to do my part. Although I never thought that Cesar would almost make me and get two daughters in one night. The situation is so sudden again that we still haven't achieved anything for Momo and now we also have to prepare another room for the two of them. Later I may even go shopping with them to get the things for their room, although I would like to see you get a bunk for them, although it would not be a problem due to their bodies.

But as if thinking about them had called them the sound of the bell when the door was opened, I turned to greet the new customers, surprising me when I saw the two twins coming towards me in the most casual way possible. Well, although they look a lot like a normal human, there are several details such as the joints of their waists with their legs that a normal human could never have and they were not wearing clothes to hide it. The good luck is that except for Saeko who was in the kitchen right now there was no one else.

"What are they doing here dressed like that!"
"If you are going to come at least wear the clothes Tamamo wears to cover your Doll joints!"
"You have no idea what people might be scared of if they see you that way?"

"Grandma we have a big problem!"
"It's dad, he's in trouble"
"Again"

"Grandma?"
Please do not call me that, you can call me Mama, Adelis, Doña, or even a stranger, but please do not use Grandma
"How big is the problem?"

"It's sure to be on the noon news"

"Ok that's really bad news"
"We can't talk about it here, we have to go back to the house"
"Saeko!"
"I have an emergency again, you are in charge!"

We went as fast as we could to the house and as soon as we entered the living room TV turned on completely by itself After that he put a satellite image of the place where the school excursion should be, the Ueno Dam.

"Five minutes ago an armed group kidnapped the bus that Dad and the others used to visit the place, after that, it moved to the southeast and entered a tunnel" Kazumi started to speak

"Dad seems like he managed to stay behind and avoid being kidnapped" Charlotte followed
"Currently his cell phone signal indicates that he is still near the Ueno dam."

"If he has the phone then call him now"

"All right"

"Hello, happy house pizzeria, if you buy four pizzas we will charge you five"

"Cesar this is no time for bad jokes!"
"Situation?"

"The school bus was hijacked by several armed subjects, they spoke very bad Japanese, between them they spoke Spanish, I think their accent was Mexican "
"They appeared from a minivan and took as many as they could and then they went east, I have no idea where"
"Right now I'm next to Maria, we were both saved because we were coming out of the bathroom when everything happened"
"Tamamo, Haru, and Warlady were out of luck as they were inside the bus"
"I am currently inside the forest watching over the dam to collect more information, but nothing else has happened at the moment."

"All right"
"Can you see if the car that Warlady was using is close?"
"Inside are the submachine guns and the bulletproof vests you asked for"
"Take them and wait for new orders in the car"
"Do not hang up the phone"

"Roger"

Unfortunately, what we have is very limited information, even though it is a very recent event, we need to know what to confront as soon as possible. Normally this would take a long time if only I had my team like when I was in the aircraft carrier. No, wait, where did these two get the live satellite image of the dam? They are right they specialize in this kind of thing, I think I can take advantage of this to help with the rescue of the hostages!

"Can you two get more information?"
"No matter what fear you use, just search everywhere and leave no trace"

"Right now we have access to the security cameras of the facility"
"According to what we have been able to identify, we believe that there are at least 15 armed people, as a second group showed up later."
"We are not sure that those are all the enemies"
"The biggest problem is that the hostages have been taken to the interior of the complex where the electric generators are located, which are under the mountain."
"We cannot access cell phones because they do not have a signal, and the satellite cannot see the interior due to the depth"
"Also some cameras are damaged, so we can not get better information"
"I'm so sorry"

"You do not have to apologize, you have already done more than what I could expect from including my team in the alliance."

This will undoubtedly be a problem at the national level. I have to act first now that I have the information before anyone else. I need to know what the police will do so I can coordinate the rescue with them. But even they could make a mistake and our VIP could get hurt. I'm going to have to know what the police would plan in this case.

"Call Inspector Yamamoto with the cellphone I gave him"
"Make sure you take security measures, avoid being able to trace and encrypt the call" I would instruct the twins on my next move

"We are redirecting the call through several public telephones, with respect to encryption we can only use a low-level one because the cell phone is not designed for such a thing."

Damn these girls are good at their job. How much I would have given to have the two of them before Xian.

"Yamamoto talking"

"Good morning Inspector"
"I'm afraid to be a giver of bad news to a person like you today"
"Please act naturally and are not surprised by what I am about to tell you."
"It's about Haru"
"Ten minutes ago the school group in which she was found was kidnapped by unknown persons."
"We are currently collecting information and devising a plan to find a way to rescue her."
"I currently recommend that you prepare to respond quickly to the assumption but please do not do anything conspicuous until the police are properly informed."

"Oh my God"

"Today I need to know what the police would do in this situation to prevent their people from seeing mine as enemies and avoid a greater tragedy."

"Well ... if ... if that is the case"
"Then we would have to mobilize the Special Assault Team"
"It would take approximately 45 minutes after the warning to reach the region by helicopter"
"They will probably scout right away"
"As for my side, I will try to contact them by phone and try to listen to their demands and try to reach a peaceful agreement"

"Hey mom I have a problem here, I found the weapons and the vest but I don't see the high shoes I asked for"
"If I have to drive in this car I will not even be able to reach the pedals" speak Cesar with the other line

"Take a rock and put it in the pedal, right now I'm having a serious discussion with the inspector"

"Grandma, I have more alarming information"

"I already told you not to call me that way!"
"What you have now"

"The criminals appear to be currently trying to plant explosives around important points."
"They are currently placing them in the generator room and one of the access tunnels."

"Ok, it looks like we won't even have the 45 minutes it will take for the police to get to the scene"

"What are we going to do?"
"We have to get Haru out of there immediately!"

"Please do not be alarmed Inspector, I currently have four people in charge of rescuing your granddaughter alive"
"Two of them are preparing their equipment and the other two are with Haru right now."
"We will surely act immediately to rescue her"

"Okay, currently the alarm has just sounded at the station, it seems to be the kidnapping notice"
"I'm going to be very busy from now on"
"But still I look forward to your call with good news"
"Please save her, that's all I have left"

"We will do our best"

"What information we have regarding the place?" I asked Kazumi who was the closest to me

"The Ueno Dam is owned by TPECO and provides energy to both the nearby town and Tokyo."
"The most surprising part at the moment is that a good deal of electricity fresh out of the generators gives to a nearby company called Matsumoto chemicals, one of the main distributors of equipment for the I.S.C."
"In case the attack is successful it will cause losses for the I.S.C"

"The generator complex is 4 kilometers southeast of where Dad is currently."
"But it is underground and has an approximate extension of about 4 kilometers of tunnels and halls"
"Due to the depth there is no way to contact the interior, so once inside we cannot obtain much information"
"Our main information is the security cameras that we are showing on the television."

As they say on television you could see some of the security cameras, but as they mentioned some were damaged, they were probably deliberately damaged by those people. The only thing that could be obtained from there was the audio, but no the image.

"We have obtained the plans and we have devised the most effective plan possible to rescue Haru, but since the hostages have been divided into smaller groups we do not believe that we will be able to prevent them from hurting the other hostages once they realize the escape"
"Haru is currently with mom, the teacher in the third group in a maintenance room 5 meters further north."
"The plan only includes the rescue of Haru, there is no possible way to rescue the other hostages due to lack of information."

"Regarding that, I think I have an idea"
"Tamamo is a goddess, and although she does not know at all what she will be able to do, she may be able to amplify the telecommunications waves"
"Or she has already shown in the past to be able to watch people from the sky, so she could take a look and tell us quickly the situation."
"In any case, be prepared for whatever absurd thing she can come up with."

" We do not have more time"
"Cesar, you have already heard everything, right?"
"Take Warlady's car and enter the generator complex"
"Your main objective is to get Haru out of there and contact Tamamo to find a way to get more information."
"In case we can get more information we will try to create a plan on the fly and rescue War lady and the others"
"Otherwise just get out of there with the two of them."
"Do not focus on the explosives unless it is an immediate danger to the mission, as we do not know if they really plan to activate them or it is just a distraction."
"Kazumi tries to download the plans of the place to Cesar's cell phone, the instructions on how to navigate the complex and wait for any signal from them."
"Charlotte you check the communications and movements of both the armed people and the police"

"We have a little problem regarding the data capacity that we can currently handle if we follow these instructions."
"We are currently using the laptop that dad has in the bedroom to access the internet, so we have a bottleneck in terms of the internet bandwidth that the computer can handle."
"The internet of the house is superior but we cannot use it to its maximum capacity"
"We can only carry out one of those orders."

"I can take care of that!" Momo the crystal angel was coming down the stairs with her face a little asleep

"I'm sorry you got up so early due to the noise but we're having a great emergency right now"

"Do not worry I understand"
"I more or less listen a little"
"You need both of them to have better access to the internet"
"I think I can do that but I need to know what they prefer and the budget fits"

"You worry about the price, I will try to get everything in record time"
"What would you two prefer to be able to handle the data better?" I indicated to the twins

"In that case, we would like to have direct connections with the internet access of the house"
"If it can get physical connection will be better, we can connect our own cables that we have in the waist will be the best"

"Well I have never seen an input type like this, but I think I can improvise a cable, and maybe use an internet switch to pass it to the fiber optic modem"
"Since internet bandwidth is important, I will look for one of easy access in stores"
"But as you can see I can't go buy it"

"Do not worry just give me the list of things now and I will find a way to bring it in the next few minutes"
"try to go making the improvised cable story you finish the list"
"Kazumi sent the information to Cesar, we will collect more information later"
"Cesar begins the rescue now!"

"You know the truth is that I do not like dark places and much less tunnels"
"So it's also not like I'm happy to have to go to one right now"
"I think I'm going to have to apologize if I get a little emotional and lose my composure in there"
"I'm only going to do this to get Tamamo out of there"

"Yes, yes, we all know about your fear of the dark"
"Get in there now and find a way to save those people"

"Cool"
"One day your family is happy that you return with them and the next they ask you to face your fears, enter a tunnel, and rescue the hostages of a criminal group at the national level."
"Or well, the things that I do for my love"
"I'm sorry for you Maria but you stay here, take a train or walk back"

"Hey, there was no need to push me!" I think I heard Maria at the back of the call

Cesar may be acting like that but I'm sure inside he's super nervous right now, he certainly doesn't like the idea of having to fight in there. But what else can we do? We do not know exactly what this group wants or plans to do, the police will take a long time to arrive at the place and they will try to collect information and the worst part that we do not know is if they really have bombs planted. Today will undoubtedly be a terrible day for the people in charge.
