[The year was November 1, 1964 or 1965, all depending on your sources. The United States had just declared or escalated the war against North Vietnam. But, what Congress and the general public didn't know or realized was that the war started under completely false accusations prompted by Lyndon Johnson.]

The note in Natalia's hand was written by a captured american pilot that was taken prisoner by Vietnam forces. In it, the american naval pilot stated,

"We were just flying secret, covert airforce flights, into Cambodia several times a day." Three aircrafts or more flew numerous sorties bombing Cambodia villages.
During that time our naval squadron fired numerous 50 caliber machine gun rounds at North Vietnamese Patrol boats, soldiers and also bombed civilians."
And that the attacks were unprovoked.

A-4s Skyhawks participated in the first strikes of the Vietnam War in response to attacks against American destroyers in the Tonkin Gulf in August 1964.
The planes were heavily armed and ready for battle. They flew over the calm waters of the South China Sea, their engines roaring as they gained altitude. The target was a small village nestled deep within the jungles of Vietnam.119Please respect copyright.PENANAvD9QLdJC5Z
It was known to be a hub of Viet Cong activity, and the mission was clear:
Destroy it utterly. As the A-4s Skyhawks approached the village, David could see the flashes of light coming from the ground below. He knew that this meant anti-aircraft fire, but the pilots pressed on undeterred.
The first wave of bombs fell with a deafening crash, sending shock waves through the earth and tearing apart everything in its path.
Smoke billowed upwards, obscuring the once vibrant green foliage that surrounded the village. Debris rained down from the sky as the villagers scrambled to escape the inferno below.
But the attack did not stop there. No! Wave after wave of planes dropped bombs onto the vast, devastated landscape, reducing what had been a bustling village to nothing more than rubble and ash.
The photographer clicked away at his camera, capturing each moment of destruction in stunning detail. But even amidst the havoc and violence, he couldn't help but feel a sense of mindless detachment.
This was war, and sometimes sacrifices had to be made in order to achieve victory.
Eventually, the last plane pulled away from the ruins of the village and headed back towards the safety of the aircraft carrier. The shocked photographer had breathed a sigh of relief knowing that the mission was complete.

[Lyndon Johnson, our beloved american president was saying that something has to change.
We cannot allow the North Vietnamese to get away with overcoming South Vietnam and turning it into a Communist state. If they attack us we attack them. We will not allow South Vietnam to fall to the Communist. So, the Americans needed an excuse to wage a war with North Vietnam.]
A General and an American emissary had stated two of their naval destroyers were attacked by North Vietnamese patrol boats.
But, according to actual, true historic events, it is safe to say this imaginary September attack by North Vietnamese Patrol boats never took place. And that the President, Lyndon Johnson would have faced a Congressional inquiry.
[This so-called fake hostile action against U.S naval forces was simply an excuse for the United States to start a war with Hanoi, Vietnam.]
"F---ck!"
Natalia thought, my God, this is explosive evidence! I might be able to make some serious dough if I can manage to get ahold of the right people in the U.S government, and blackmail them somehow.
Minji: "Yes, that's exactly what I figured.119Please respect copyright.PENANARsfGWovGP4
119Please respect copyright.PENANAZvnaILc9R8
I only need to fulfill the contract and kill Chen. Then you won't be seeing me around."
(And Minji leaves)
Natalia thinks about Chen, the Chinese drug lord. Though he was the leader of the drug cartel, and the target of Minji's hit. He had high contacts in a lot of countries including the United States. Perhaps they could make some kind of a deal. Then, later Minji could finish the contract and kill him.
Chen always had a briefcase full of money and drugs, ready to make a deal with other gangs. Natalia immediately went to find him again.
EXT. ABANDONED WAREHOUSE - NIGHT
A few days later, Natalia receives a message from the liaison, arranging a clandestine meeting at an abandoned warehouse on the outskirts of town. She arrives, cautiously looking around for any signs of danger.
INT. DIMLY LIT WAREHOUSE - NIGHT
The warehouse is filled with an air of tension as Natalia discreetly scans the room, looking for Chen. She adjusts her pearl necklace, knowing that the microchip hidden within it holds the key to her success.
Natalia, whispers to herself, "Come on you asshole!" Show yourself Chen.
As she moves through the building she spots John sitting alone at a bench, very nervously checking his watch. She approaches him cautiously.
Natalia: (whispers)119Please respect copyright.PENANA5uwnSMgStJ
You look anxious. Waiting for someone?
John is startled, uh, yeah. I'm supposed to meet a contact here, but he's late. You seem familiar. Do we know each other?
Natalia smiles slyly, perhaps. Let's just say we have mutual interests. Keep an eye out for the Chinese man, Chen. I need to speak with him urgently.
John: (suspicious)119Please respect copyright.PENANASJxGnqTfUy
119Please respect copyright.PENANAA72eGbv79q
And who are you?
Natalia: (mocking laugh) Let's save the introductions for later. Just keep your eyes peeled, Mr. John.
Meanwhile, Minji sits at a bench nearby, covertly observing Chen and his cartel bodyguards. She grips the gun and knife in her purse, ready to strike at any moment.

As Natalia finally spots Chen, she slowly approaches him with caution.
Natalia: (coolly) Chen, I've been looking for you.
Chen: (raising an eyebrow) And why is that bitch?
Natalia: (holds the microchip)119Please respect copyright.PENANAW2p3dSWHPo
have something that might be of interest to you. Information that could possibly change the game and your gangster style.
Chen eyes the small microchip, his interest piqued.
Chen: (skeptical) And what kind of information are we talking about?
Natalia is smirking, something that could make us both very wealthy and quite powerful. But first, we need to find a secure place to talk.
Chen: (smiles) "Your new orange contact lenses and facial tattoes really enhance your looks Natalia. Okay, lead the way."119Please respect copyright.PENANAGoRVQxNNjG
They move to a space at the back of the warehouse, away from prying eyes and ears.
Minji, whispers to herself, "Now's my chance!"
She stealthily makes her way toward Chen's bench and table, her heart pounding with adrenaline. She knows the stakes are high, but she's determined to carry out her deadly mission.
John: (To himself) This is getting very interesting. I should document this.
John discreetly takes out his camera and recorder, capturing the clandestine meeting.
As Natalia and Chen negotiate their shady deal, the atmosphere becomes more intense, the suspense palpable.
Natalia: "Once I hand over the information, you'll owe me a favor. And trust me, you'll want to repay that favor."
Chen: (intrigued)119Please respect copyright.PENANAomHPnfE7cr
119Please respect copyright.PENANAqejY3Unr7p
You've got my attention. Let's see what you've got.
Natalia hands over the microchip, and Chen examines it closely.
Chen: (smiling)119Please respect copyright.PENANA5HJ6r0t6Di
119Please respect copyright.PENANAb80aVRMCUt
Impressive. You've got yourself a deal.
But just as the tension reaches its peak, Minji lunges forward, her gun drawn.
Minji (firmly) No,119Please respect copyright.PENANAA4SZfPb3JM
119Please respect copyright.PENANAkC4IpDUtx2
not so fast, Chen. Your time's up.
"Time to die!"
Violence ensues as Minji and Chen's bodyguards engage in a fierce gunfight. The warehouse erupts into a frenzy of screams, bullets and panic.119Please respect copyright.PENANAWTBMctBLFU

This shit is insane! My story just got a whole lot juicier.
Amidst the mayhem, Natalia grabs the opportunity to slip away, unnoticed. She knows she has to find a way to use this situation to her advantage.
Natalia: I won't let this chance slip away.
As the gunfight rages on, Natalia disappears into the dark night, clutching the small microchip tightly. The fate of her mission and the potential consequences for the world hang in the balance.
The night is far from over, and the paths of these unlikely, suspect characters are destined to intertwine further, leading to a thrilling-action packed journey of deception, revenge, and revelation.
Natalia makes her way through the dimly lit streets, careful to avoid any prying eyes. She arrives at an inconspicuous entrance to an underground safehouse, where she knows she can find the connections she needs.

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐒𝐚𝐟𝐞 𝐇𝐨𝐮𝐬𝐞:
Natalia is greeted by a shadowy figure, the liaison to Chen's powerful contacts in the American government.
CIA Agent: (low voice)119Please respect copyright.PENANAX5jFYE2teF
119Please respect copyright.PENANAEXhl1C3kPm
You must be Natalia. Chen told me about you. He said you have something important.
Natalia (nods)119Please respect copyright.PENANAFDDajM6j8S
119Please respect copyright.PENANAKtUi9dce2f
"I have evidence that could change the course of American history. I need to reach someone close to President Johnson, someone who can't be bought or silenced."
Agent: (cautious)119Please respect copyright.PENANAOJecsb2yyQ
119Please respect copyright.PENANA8jw9kr0Xb5
You're treading on dangerous ground. One wrong move, and your life could be in grave danger.
Natalia takes a deep breath, her resolve unwavering. "I understand the risks, but this is bigger than me. It's about exposing the truth and holding those in power accountable."
The liaison studies Natalia carefully, assessing her determination.
Agent: (slowly) Alright, I'll set up a meeting. But be fair warned, you won't get a second chance if you betray us.
Natalia nods her head, knowing that her life hangs in the balance.
Agent: "We shall meet again on a later date and time at a vacant warehouse. So, be prepared. If you don't show up, it won't go good for you!"119Please respect copyright.PENANAQUxItLhz2m
