Chapter 39 - Chapter — 39. The Infiltration

11 December 2025, 5:05am.

The elevator reaches down, its opening sound echoes throughout the incomplete hallway. A man with short spiky hair, white skin, sunglasses on, an ear piece in his right ear with a neat black suit matching his personality steps out of the lift.

The tunnel he entered had been heavily covered with strong metal, light dimming brightly accompanied by high tech CCTV cameras surveying the area.

Yet it was just the beginning of the tunnel which had been completed, the remaining were still in construction, workers continued to dig up the tunnel further and some worked on finishing the remaining, unfinished part of it.

They used modern, expensive construction equipment and tools with safety equipment for their own security.

Many people with the same outfit as a Black suit man watches every worker scrupulously.

The Black suit man approach one of them:

"Jonathan, how's work doing? "

Jonathan turns around, he has the same outfit as the black suit man but a different hairstyle, low taper fade. He holds a notepad.

A smile forms on Jonathan 's face.

"Nice to meet you, Arnold. Why are you here? " They both shake hands.

"Nothing, Just wondering how are those five construction workers I send in the morning? " Agent Black asked

Jonathan chuckles.

"Good, right now they are digging the tunnel further. "

Jonathan pauses.

"Can I ask you something? "

Agent Black gulps.

"Yeah, what is it? "

Jonathan goes through the notepad, after turning some pages he stops at a worker description.

"Look, Alice Garcia, she first worked at the freedom tower as a receptionist and after it got destroyed she is working in the labour. She could easily get a good job. " Jonathan questions.

Agent Black stays silent for a second then replies.

"Well me and Alice are good friends, I also asked her yet she said it is personal. You shouldn't be worried about that, after all the DCSA had done all the background checking. "

Hesitated, Jonathan just shakes his head.

11 December — 10:15 pm.

Alice and her four companions walked off the White House main gate wearing normal civilian clothes.

After some time, they all reached a luxurious hotel room, far away from the White House to meet someone.

Opening the door, they saw Agent Black and Noah waiting for them.

"So. " Agent Black said. "Tomorrow is the big day, don't mess it up. I had a book room for each one of you. "

"I can't do that. "One of the five people, a black man who is Black with popcorn hair style, refused. " Can't you replace me with Noah or someone else. "

Agent Black sighs in irritation.

" First of all they didn't change workers immediately and Noah is already a wanted criminal. "

He put his hand on his forehead.

"You know how much struggle I have to do to put you inside the White House as a worker for the The White House to the Herbert C Hoover Federal building secret tunnel operations!!"

No one said anything.

Sometime later, Agent Black leaves the hotel. After some walking, he walked towards an empty lane.

He took out the walkie talkie and pulled its string down. Then a voice came.

"Did the tunnel reach its destination? " Lord Yin asked.

"It has reached our one not there's. " Agent Black laughed.

Agent Black continues.

"Those fools didn't even know that the Herbert building will be ours and the tunnel building they are building will be in our use. "

"Did you do the other work? " Lord Yin cautiously queries.

"Yeah they are dead and I will replace the Beast with SUVs in a very clever way. "

"Yeah. " Lord Yin shrugged. "I believe you could do it. "

Lord Yin didn't say for a moment.

"Wolf superior told me to be careful. "

Agent Black surprised, just making an awkward chuckle.

"I know how to take care of myself. "

12 December, 4:25 pm.

"I bet I can throw higher than you. "

"No. You sucked

The five workers brought by Agent Black started to argue who can throw higher.

"I know what we can do. "

On them , an Asian with short hair goes to his bag. He pulled out multiple spray pain, and threw it towards the other of his friends.

"Whoever throws the spray paint directly at the CCTV camera has the best aim. "

The Secret Service agent noticed it but before they could stop them all five of them threw the spray paint directly at the camera.

The spray under the paint came out because of the loose cap making it spread throughout the lens of the camera thus blocking its view to see anything.

"Are you out of their mind?! " The Secret Service agent screams at all four of them. "I can't believe Arnold hired you guys. "

While scolding the guys, one of the agents approached him.

"Something is wrong, they have ordered all the workers to go home. "

The Secret Service started to evacuate all the workers there.

12 December 4:32 pm.

The masked figure ran towards the Ellipse, occupying it with force. Noah, in the masked figure costume, ran in the different direction with another masked figure.

They got a place in the Ellipse where it is covered in trees.

They go to a tree with a M mark, in front a secret sewage was present covered in grass, a masked figure removed it exposing a ladder downward.

Noah, confused, got forced into a ladder, followed by one more masked figure.

12 December 4:38 pm.

The two Secret Service agents watched the tunnel with all their focus, waiting for the cleaners to come and clean the camera.

All of a sudden, on the unfinished part of the tunnel, a big chunk of hard soil fell off, before they could notice a flashbang drop from it, then it exploded making the surrounding full of smog.

Trying to load what had happened, they got shot in the forehead. Their body drops, blood dripping from their head, flowing in the floor making it bloody in color.

The two masked figures emerged from the smoke, one of them holding a suitcase.

One of them is Noah.

"Don't you think they will see us from the camera. " Noah asked in fear.

"The cameras are blocked by the spray paint. "

The second masked figure put her mask out, revealing Alice.

Noah raised an eyebrow.

"If you are here then who is the one working there during the construction. "

"My impersonation, we thought of making me go on holiday as an excuse but then the government will look after me. "

Alice said unboxing the suitcase, revealing the Secret Service agent tools, suit, ear piece, sunglasses, a realistic synthetic face mask, a high tech looking big bomb, their id and a walkie talkie covered in aluminum foil all placed in neatly.

Noah put the ear piece.

"Whose face mask are they? Noah asked in curiosity.

"Robert and Jessica. One of the most important Secret Service Agents, this is their equipment. We killed them and now we are going to take their place. "

They quickly wear those clothes and synthetic faces. After that they hide the body in a blue drum carefully to not get a stain, clean the blood from the floor. Out of nowhere, both Noah and Alice's ear pieces got a voice.

"Robert, where are you?" the voice asked seriously.

"To the White House to The Herbert C. Hoover Federal Building secret tunnel. " Noah tried his best to voice like an old man, still a hint of hesitation in his voice.

"Get out of the East Wing and reach the main entrance of the White House, there's an emergency. I am sending someone else. "

The call ended, Noah sighing in relief. He looked at the flashbang.

"We should take it. Noah suggested while pointing at the flashbang.

"Whatever." Alice focuses on something else.

Alice took out a bomb from the suitcase, about the size of a face from a suitcase which could be divided into six pieces. Alice hides the suitcase inside a JCB.

Alice divides it then gives three pieces to Noah. She hides the walkie talkie and the three bomb pieces covered in aluminum foil in a big pocket in the left of white T-shirt which is hidden in the blazer.

Noah

"You know the plan. "

Both of them looked at each, nodded and got in the lift.

While in the lift, Noah asked something else.

"The secret sewage through which we come. Why is it even built? "

Alice breathes in irritation.

"It was built by the government during this construction if this tunnel entrance also had a problem. "

12 December 6:00 pm.

Soaked in sweat behind the mask, Alice silently stands in the main entrance of the White House, terrified from the horror of being catched she slowly tremble. She keeps touching the left hidden pocket to see if her stuff is still there or not.

Noah stands besides her.

Without a warning, her walkie talkie in her hidden pocket buzzed with a word. "Do it. "

The Secret Service Agent turns all their attention to Alice.

"What is it? "

A bunch of Secret Service agents started to come closer to Alice, some reporting it to the Pentagon.

Alice backed off.

"It's nothing. " Alice's voice cracked.

"Your voice is also very different. "

This question made the Secret Service agent more cautious. They started to get closer to Alice, some of them reached for the gun.

Noah immediately throws the flashbang without wasting a second.

"BOOM!! "

All of them started to shoot in the direction where they last saw Alice, yet she had already escaped from there.

Noah and Alice put the bomb pieces out of the secret pocket. They anxiously and swiftly join the bomb pieces together

"I found them!!. "

The voice raised the heart beat of both of them. Without wasting even a second, Alice touched a small red button in the middle of the bomb with full force.

"Run!! "

Alice grabs Noah's hands and runs away in the opposite direction.

"BOOM!!!! "

The bomb exploded, the White House main entrance blasted off.
