OOC: I am doing this for fun, others can RP and join in if they like.

IC: On the dawn of August 4th, it had started as a normal day. Commuters began their trips to work as the sun was just an hour into it's shine of the day. It was 7:30 AM, and Tetchuan's capital Milton was at the peak of rush hour. Tetchuan Prime Minister Kremlin Castro was just awaking in his room as he looked out the window across his bed. It was a bright, warm, sunny summer day in the capitol, and all seemed normal.

Milton's tallest building, the Cumberland Center stood at 1,856 feet. The monster of a building was built 24 years previous, and was Milton's center of commerce and banking. Employees had been pouring into the building for over 2 hours now as many had already begun their typical day at work. No one would imagine the terror about to unfold at the Center, nor could they ever fathom it happening in a country that had never experienced a terrorist attack.

At 8:04 AM, just 400 yards away on top of the Clariton Hotel, two men stood ready to execute their attack that took several months and crutial planning to undergo. On top of the hotel, stood not only two men, but a large rocket device. As the two men loaded up the device, they radioed to a large red van just below the hotel to "begin execution". As the van began to slowly drive off, the two men quickly said a prayer and then fired a missile. The missile travelled so quickly not even bystanders on the ground had time to react. At 8:06:32 AM, the missile struck the middle of the Cumberland Center. A huge fireball shot out from the side of the building as debris shot out in all directions. Bystanders below began to scream, when at that moment the two men on top of the Clairiton Hotel blew themselves up, causing a fire to ensue on top of the building, and knocking out a near-by tele-communications line.

Just 1 minute later, the red van drove straight through the lobby and smashed into a desk on the inside. Seconds later, the van exploded with such a force, it could be felt hundreds of yards away. Glass and concrete shot everywhere hundreds were already dead. Sirens could be heard in the distance as the mid-center, lobby and first 4 floors of the Center burned with debris still falling. Bystanders scattered in every direction as Tetchuan began to face it's first terrorist attack.

OOC: Okay anyone that wants to throw in some stuff may, just no complete destruction of the building, not yet anyway. I will also add more.

-ooc- oy, if I overstep my boundaries, tell me and I'll delete this post, 'k? -ooc-

Jimmy's father sat down at the table, folding his hands for grace.

"Our father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name"

Just outside of the Michaelis' house, a man intoned the same prayer to himself

"Thy kingdom come-
thy will be done
on Earth
as it is in heaven
Amen"
Amen

The door burst open, startling the family' from there prayer. The intruder pulled out a small gun, and fired six times into Mr. Michaelis' chest.

After the first shot, noise erupted around the table; Mrs. Michaelis began to scream, and Jimmy fell to the floor, hiding under the table. As his mom began to run away, the man pulled a second gun out and shot her several times as well, splattering blood over the hiding child.

The man seemed to have forgotten about the child, and rushed out as sirens echoed through the neighborhood.

The child got out from under the table, and stared at his dead parents, before stalking into there bedroom. Standing on a chair he dragged over, his small hands searched the dusty top of a dresser, until he found his treasure. Pulling it down, he opened the box, revealing a sleek looking handgun.


"Tonight at 7:00 we report on a brutal assassination, possibly linked to the Cumberland terrorist attack on the 4th. The prominent Michaelis' were brutally murdered at there dinner table. The child is missing, presumed kidnapped for political gains."

-ooc- btw, I'm not godmodding, that kid will die. I mean c'mon, a shrimpling pulling a "die hard"? Ha! -ooc-

Breaking News!: Tetchuan Under Attack! We now go live to the Cumberland Center where Tetchuan may have experienced it's first terrorist attack! George?

George - "Yes Lisa, it is complete chaos down here. The world famous Cumberland Center has been hit with a missile around the 65th floor, and was also hit with a very large truck bomb in the lobby. At this point details are sketchy, but Tetchuan fire officials are doing everything they can to evacuate the building. The TIA (Tetchuan Intelligence Agency) has been called in and they refuse to give any details at the moment, and no terrorist orginization has been pinned for this. What we do know is that there are numerous reports of kidnappings across the city, and the kidnappers have claimed "more attacks will come". At this point and time, the building is in critical condition. The main support trussles have been severely damaged, and 3/4ths of the 63rd floor is completely destroyed!"

Men and women were screaming for help, and only time would tell if another attack was to come.
