Time: 3:22 PM Local Time

Jefferson was walking down Time Square as he wonder what to do next, Danial's victory in the presidential election has thrown the Minutemen's plans into chaos as the leadership scramble to figure out what to do next. As he kept walking he suddenly heard his phone ring. Picking it up he answered "yes?". a voice came through saying "Jefferson, this is Paul Revere, I got the package you order.".  Jefferson responded "that's good to hear, Also has the son said anything about are next step?". Paul Revere responded back " ya, about that, he has given Operation American Restoration the go ahead.".

Jefferson smiled and replied back "that's good to hear, tell the son that I am already ready for Phase 1". Revere "copy that, I will tell the son that you are ready for Phase 1 Aquila.". "Roger that" replied Jefferson before ending the call. Jefferson kinda found it funny that the code name Paul Revere was only given to those who happen to give the minutemen there gear while the real Paul Revere was a silversmith. "eh" he said to himself, continuing eh said to himself "guess the son really does has a sense of humor.".

"I swear to God if I hear on more complaint about my room I'm going to bust some heads!" yelled Jose as he was cleaning up his side of his bedroom. Jose, now a sophomore attending the University of Miami in order to get a bachelors degree in mechanical engineering, grabbing his bag he check if the USB drive was still there, and just as expected, it was still there. As Jose place his bag beneath his bed the door open and standing there was a tall skinny man with black hair and a mullet he said "Jose, check the news!". Jose replied "Why should I Roberto? the News reports nothing but puro chingadera* these days...".

Roberto cross his arms and said "dude, why you got to be such a skeptic about everything?". Jose replied "well I got that from my old man buddy.". Roberto replied saying "anyways you need to see this.". Jose said "fine...". As Jose followed Roberto to the T.V he saw that on the news was something he always hated to see. on the screen where images of a what appears to be a race riot that was happening somewhere in Los Angeles. Jose said "seems like they where waiting for the elections to end so they can go back destroying stuff.". Roberto replied "I know, seems this whole country is on the verge of tearing itself apart.".

Jose was about to reply when he heard the news anchor said "... and it seems that the cause of these riots according to the LAPD appears to have been a dispute between to men in a bar that got out of hand, however police are suspecting outside involvement we will keep you updated on this event". "outside involvement..." Jose mutter to himself, remembering back to his meeting with Obama a year ago he wonder if this is the beginning of the plot he mentioned a while back.

Roger was having a bad feeling about being in Baghdad, it wasn't the fact a suicide bomber or a crazed terrorist can appear out of nowhere and cause havoc. it was because it seems someone wanted to meet him, to be more specific it was the new Colonel who took charge seven months ago and moved there base near Baghdad. As Richard enter the cafe where he was told to meet him at he was hoping that he wasn't going to get into more trouble than he already was in by just being here.

However he's thoughts were interrupted as he heard " so your Private First Class Roger Simons am I correct?". Roger did the standard military response to a higher up. "sir yes sir!". the Colonel said "sit down Roger, we have things to discuss, specifically about a certain incident that happen about a year ago.". as Roger sat down the Colonel said" well then about a year ago you participated in a mission in the town of Al-Mazraa to assassinate a high ranking ISIS offical and somehow you ended up being the only survivor am I correct?". Roger replied "yes sir".

tho Colonel continue saying "so tell me what exactly happen there Private.". Roger took a breath and began recounting what happen, he told the colonel about how they manage to find there target and what happen after, how one of there own started shooting the men in his squad and what he said. when he finish the Colonel simply lower his head and said "so that explains it...". Roger reply "uh explains what sir?". 

The Colonel said "from what my predecessor told me, before your operation there where seven other counter-terrorist operations that resulted in the objective being accomplish and yet no survivors, my predecessor wanted to ask you about it but he couldn't due to some rather weird things.". "ya such as the fact they started putting us in the front lines everywhere.." Roger thought to himself. "So" the Colonel said "well I know this is a little late but tell me what are your thoughts on all this? especially about this Grand Council of America.". Roger said "Well I think that maybe we got a conspiracy against the nation going on and they have infiltrated a lot of places but I don't have any proof about it and I can't find any as long as I stay here.".

The Colonel smiled saying "well guessing your opportunity is coming soon, since your going home soon, then perhaps there is still time trying to figure this all out". Roger nodded and said "I will do that after I catch up on personal business.". The Colonel said "take your time, anyways you are dismiss". Roger got up and saluted and left the Cafe. As he headed back to his base he began thinking of buying something for her before he leaves for home.

Time: 11:56 AM Local Time

As Joshua got ready for another play against the Iowa State Football team he did a quick check at the scoreboard, right now they were winning 14-10 and they where in the middle of the second quarter, however Iowa just pulled of a huge 56 yard gain which could've been worse if Denzel didn't intercepted the ball on Iowa's Third Down. now at the red zone in front of there end zone Joshua decided to pull off a long pass in order to gain some yard backs, after everyone got into position he yell " teh hut!" starting the play.

Joshua remember telling his dad of his final decision of going to Stanford to play football instead of joining the military. He expected his father to be a little disappointed in his decision. Instead his father patted his back and told him that he was proud of his sons decision and told him that he expected him to win as many games as possible and kick as much ass as well.

And that was what Joshua intended to do, as the tackles slam right into each other, Joshua catching the Centers pass, took a few steps back, quickly scan the field for any Wide Receiver's or Tight Ends on the other side of the defensive line, and thankfully one of them did, and he appeared to be quite far enough for a yard gain. On instinct and training he threw  the ball at him before getting tackled himself. the Wide receiver manage to catch the ball and made it 34 yards from Iowas state end zone before the safeties caught him. But Joshua was pretty glad at the results nonetheless. 

Meanwhile in the audience section of the stadium a man was watching the game's progress. as he sat there watching another man sat next to him and said "you know, if it wasn't for your love of football I would have to have called Franklin to track you down, Washington". The man replied "what do you want with me? Jefferson?". Jefferson replied "you see I don't know if you heard but the son has given the operation the go ahead.". Washington said "so it has begun eh?". Jefferson nodded his head in response, he then said "so then can you tell me what Iblis* is up to and where?".

Washington said "according to Hoover, it seems that he plans to deliver a speech on the twenty-seventh so you got a week and a day to prepare, oh and he is doing it in Montgomery, Alabama as well." Jefferson said "well that's good to hear. Can't wait to put a hole in the councils plans.". Washington said "me to, more than you think Jefferson". as they finish there discussion the two continue to watch the games progression.

As Jefferson climbed the stairs of one of the two buildings in front of the Alabama state capital he check the briefcase he was carrying to be sure that it was still there. as he open the rooftop access door he sometimes wish he didn't had to do all this prep work but the son wanted him to preform this flawlessly. as he looked around for a good spot to hide from any potential counter-snipers he decided to do a check on his briefcase contents. inside the case was a specially designed M110 Sniper Rifle that was designed to be take-apart and reassemble with minor consequences.

Assembling the pieces Jefferson check the completed rifle for anything wrong, and seeing it was ok took aim with it but didn't fire, as he was only checking if the spot he found would still give him a clear shot. seeing that it did he took apart the rifle and place the contents back in it's case. as he left the building Jefferson couldn't help but think of the irony of his code name and what he was going to do in three days.
