Egyptians being freed to be the event. Had to be something else.  One thing he did know, however, was from that point forward, he was going to take every precaution available.
         A new email came through to his phone. Unknown. “Congrats on Egypt.”
         A couple times Jason had tried to track the unknown emails, but could not. They were always from untraceable or fake accounts. But, he already knew that, as that’s what the legion’s strength was – no one could track them. In fact, a lot of their ability, like the services he provided for the NSA and DHS, came from his expertise -- top-notch abilities that, likely, wouldn’t be available to the public in decades, if ever.
         A dark cloud grew inside of his chest. As usual of recent, Jason wondered if all of this was worth it. How did I lose her? Both of them. He thought to himself.
         He looked at his notes from the first set of commission meetings in New York City. He had a whole tablet of testimonies. So much was going on. It felt overwhelming, at times.
         He felt, both, angry and confused about 9/11.
         This department was created in response to the September 11 th attacks to consolidate all the departments of Homeland Security into one cabinet. Jason recited in his head.
         He thought for a moment more. Everything they have done thus far, in government foreign policy, has centered around, and stemmed from, nine-eleven.
         The gears in his head started turning as he began to search through government files on his computer. With the new accounts from the commission testimonies, he decided to investigate, himself. What was logged in the database on the day of nine-eleven?
          It was time.

         Jason entered his agent pass code.
         The files within the database unfolded and fluttered down his computer screen in abundance. He picked a tab to begin reading.
         "The September 11th Attacks, in the United States,  Airplane hijackings result in the collapse of three World Trade Center buildings in New York City, destruction of the western portion of The Pentagon in Arlington, Virginia, and a passenger airliner crash in Shanksville, Pennsylvania."
         Clicking the details of the accident Jason noticed at first glance a lot of boxes not filled on the report data sheet.
         Osama Bin Laden.  
         Mohamed Atta.
         Marwan al-Shehhi.
          Ziad Jarrah, and Ramzi Binalshibh.
         Those names were listed at the top of the page.  Underneath, were 14 of the other men involved in minor to major ways. None of the faces he recognized.
         Mohamed Atta had always been a familiar name to him, as were the others – they all came up in the meetings -- but he couldn’t put his finger on exactly what was bothering  him about them. 
         As Jason scrolled through the various tabs of nine-eleven information, he relived the day.
         The day when he lost her.
         He noticed all the events leading up to the attack were dated before September eleventh, all the way up to attempted communication with Mohamed Atta two hours before the first attack.
         Jason continued to scroll. He bumped into what the file called, ‘a declaration of war’ from Bin Laden demanding Americans off of "the holy land of Saudi Arabian soil." In a box labelled ‘reply’ next to the declaration, the word "insufficient" sat, unapologetically. 
         The file came with an accompanying media file. Jason began to download it into a separate storage device he had always carried for work.
         He read a ‘fatwa’ from bin Laden which said, "Slay the pagans wherever ye find them." bin Laden continued, in the file, to declare that the "duty of every Muslim" is "to kill Americans anywhere."
          He clicked on the next tab to find the details of the day’s event.
