Chapter 2
Maymana Mosque
Maymana, Afghanistan
October 26th, 2012
A man in his early thirties and woman is her mid twenties sat in an idling van outside the mosque. It was a busy day, with several government officials in attendance for the opening of this place of worship. The woman was watching a security feed of the inside of the mosque, while the man sat in the driver’s seat, playing on his phone.
The woman sighed.
”Shame we have to blow it up. This is some beautiful architecture right here.”
The man snorted, not looking up from his phone.
”And since when are you an expert on middle eastern mosque building techniques, Daisy?”
Tapping her foot impatiently, Daisy glanced back at the computer screen.
”Tonyyyyyy.” She whined. “Can I do it now?”
Tony Stark finally looked up, checking if there was anyone still outside the mosque. Seeing that there was not, he nodded.
Daisy smiled at that. Pressing a button on her phone, she armed the bomb that she had planted not 3 hours before. With another tap, she triggered it.
The explosion rocked the street. A man was thrown out, and landed in front of the van. Tony started the car, and drove off. There was a slight bump as the man’s body was crushed beneath the wheels.
A hundred kilometres from the mosque, they got out of the van, set fire to it, and got in the waiting helicopter. The perpetrators of the bombing were never found.
