Op Rooppur XIII: Captured

08:50

North Building

Sohel and Naomi were hiding behind a wall looking at the control room across the lobby.Sohel finds it strange that there was a real lack of people. No gunmen were sighted in the whole path they walked to come here. Just then a loud bang was heard from the roof of the south building followed by metal cracking noises. Sohel whispers, "That idiot.Always has to blow something up."

ARIA speaks up, "Sir, we're back online. I've connected back to the UAV."

"Good. Send a signal for backup and show me the UAV feed of the control room."

"Yes, boss."

Sohel sees a holographic model of the control room and all the people inside. Sohel orders ARIA,

"Mark everyone holding a gun hostile. Find optimal breaching method."

"Yes, boss."

A few moments later ARIA projects a simulation in Sohel's glasses. Sohel watches the simulation and explains to Naomi how the breaching would go. They go back to the cafe and pick up two AK47's and come back. They slowly reached the control room door. As Sohel was gonna open the door a speaker in the lobby buzzed.Naser's voice came from the speakers,

"Don't do that my friend. If you value your comrade and childhood friend's life, I'd advise that both of you drop your weapons and come in."

Just as the voice stopped a TV turned on showing the CCTV footage of the control room. Sohel and Naomi were shocked to see Mitali and Jacob pinned to the ground. Hands tied behind their backs and faces bloodied by their own blood.Naomi murmured, "When did he...."

Naser's voice came through the speakers again,

"Come on, my friend. I don't have all day."

Sohel clenches his fist still holding the trigger. But drops the weapon. Naomi drops her weapon too.

"Good boy. Now quickly come inside."

Sohels says something to Naomi and they both open the gate and go inside. Just as they entered the room two people came from behind and pinned them to the ground.
