AntiZiotics – episode 2

As the sound of the explosion rocks the police station. All phones in the station start ringing simultaneously.
Every one from the Mayor of the city to the Governor of New York State is on phone.

“What the hell happened ? “, “I knew Pakistanis can never be trusted … ” .Things like these are spoken. Outside the station a crowd gathers, all the people are looking in the same direction, they are looking at the site of explosion.

The lieutenant’s voice crackles up the Walkie Takie, “How much time do I have before I am executed ?”

“Relax, it was just a routine demolition of an abandoned building”, replies the SHO.

“SWEET MOTHER OF JESUS, couldn’t they pick some other day”. Lt. Mustafa is furious.

He quickly arrives at the station which isn’t very far from the festival.

“Ok everyone, whats the deal, tell me about the threat call.”

“We couldn’t get anything, it was an encrypted call, and we couldn’t do a voice match, because it was generated by a computer.”

Mustafa thinking to himself, “… this is beyond their level, I need an expert hand”. He searches his Cell phone directory and calls an old number. He hears a Caller Tune on the other side, its an old song ‘Aashiq banaya’, after several seconds of unbearable Himesh, the phone is picked up.

“HEEEEY, Long time no see, Mustafa, where the hell are you ?”, says the receiver in a high pitched voice.

“Well , I am in New York, agent Usama, you’re still an FBI agent aren’t you ?” replies the Lt.

Agent Usama is a well known FBI agent in the USA. He joined the US police in 2008 as an analyst, but quickly progressed into the FBI. He is well known in Washington because he cracked an impossible assassination case 2 years ago … And he TRIES to be funny too.

“New York, why the hell are you in New York ! ?” , says JB (nick of Agent Usama)

“The search of a woman takes you places my friend”, the Lt. talks with his old friend on the phone, while walking on the sidewalk of Broadway, the traffic is going to and fro on the busy road, the sounds of honking horns and the engines running while the chattering crowd on the side walk makes it a very pleasant and interesting place to just .. walk by.

“So any luck my friend ?”, says JB

“Haha, the search is still on”, just as he replies, he is bumped by a woman in red. “Sorry .. ” , he says but she is gone.

“Listen JB, come to NY immediately , need your help, its an investigation case.”

“I’ll be there, and I’ll solve your case in no time “, replies JB happily,

“ If there is a case worth a crackle,
agent JB is there to tackle”.
says JB in a tone.

“That was very ….. disturbing”, sighs Mustafa.

“Ok recieve me from the JFK Airport in one hour.” , JB replies and terminates the call.

The Lt. dishearted from the performance of the local police, decides to take a helicopter to the JFK airport, because helicopter rides have always cheered him up, and he has openely claimed in the press that the greatest perks of being a high ranking police officer are the free helicopter rides.

He once again comes to the station, gives them a few orders and advices and tells them, that he will be away for atleast an hour, and then he leaves.


6 hours earlier .. We see Tasmiyah in Kenya, she looks injured, sleepless and tense. As we see her neck , there are marks of chains and blades, it seems that someone has torchered her recently. She has just got her explosives from an old friend, she is done and now starts her jeep and moves on to a distant location.
She is driving in her Jeep, which is now full of explosives, after several minutes of high speed dirt riding, she is in Nairobi….
she is halted at an army checkpost at one of the roads, but for some reason , she is allowed to go thorugh. We do not know what happened next.
But what we do know is that , in mere 6 hours we see Tasmiyah on American soil, and that too in NY !
Getting from Kenya to US in 6 hours is a speed that is impossible for the modern Civil Aviation !


Taha bin Rafiq walks out of his little apartment with his suitcase and briskly walks towards an unknown location, by the style of his walking we know that his clearly the master of  ’walking from point A to point B unnoticed’, and since the American people really dont care much about their surroundings, he does not have much problem, he walks while throwing a few coins to a beggar sitting on the sidewalk.

He takes out his funny looking cell phone and sends a few text messages to unknown people. As he is walking suddenly we see another strong looking man closely walking by Bin Rafiq, after a few minutes Bin Rafiq is joined by 3 more fellows, and this rag tag group of 4 guys quickly go inside a building not far from the Times Square.
They go inside the basement parking , these men are very professional , they do not need instructions and they dont do small talk, it seems they are on a high priority mission.

Just as they are inside the basement, they all go to the east wall, and sit down near it, Bin Rafiq opens his suitcase, his fellows keep their eyes peeled to see what is in it.
but to their dissapointment there is nothing but ordinary clothes and toothpaste, they all look at bin rafiq with a sad face, but he only smiles. He carefully pinches one corner of the opened side, and poceeds to remove a very thin plastic like coating ! It seems it is just a picture of clothes! on first sight no one can know that these are not real clothes but only a picture ! a great illusion , as he removes the pastic coating, the actual contents of the case are revealed , there is a drill machine, a welding machine, and some explosives and other equipment.
The men know their job, they quickly start drilling holes in the wall and weaken it. After that Bin Rafiq attaches the explosives to the wall to blast it away.

The men look concerned, clearly they are worried about the sound of the explosion, for this Bin Rafiq smiles again, as he has everything undercontrol. He once again takes his cell phone out and sends a message….
Back at Times Square we see the sound engineers setting up the speaker system for the concert, one of them looks like an arab, he approaces the microphone and says, “TESTING 1,2,3, HELLO, TESTING 1,2,3″ , his voice rips through the ears of the crowd thanks to the overloud speaker system,
just as he tests the speaker, Bin Rafiq explodes the wall using the speaker sound as a cover for the explosion, his men are impressed by his ingenuity. They quickly move in to the newly created hole and use a large cardboard sheet to cover the hole behind them, they do this with a very decent quickness.


We see the sad Lt. Mustafa in his helicopter cruising over the Manhattan Island, the tall buildings springing out of a small patch of land, with sea surrounding, it is indeed a sight to behold.
During his journey to JFK airport we see the Statue Of Lberty , Its a statue of woman holding a book in one hand.  This statue was given to US in 1886 by France when US signed the declaration of independence as a symbol of friendship. It welcomes tourists and immigrants coming from ship from around the world.
This is indeed a modern marvel of mankind, the helicopter moves towards the airport, leaving the statue behind , the Lt. watches it as it slowly fades out of eyesight……
