After seizing the city neighborhood, the attacking militia round up any survivors they found. Initially, they shoot indiscriminately, imposing many casualties. Some survivors managed to escape from the neighborhood, while unnoticed others hide inside buildings. The militiamen conduct mass search on buildings and either shoot or herd anyone they find. They separated foreigners and local hostages and gather them inside Al - Abi International Hotel, the largest hotel on the neighborhood. The shootings are still able to be heard on other neighborhoods. The streets becomes silent eerily. Bodies and vehicles strewn and abandoned at them. The bustling neighborhood now becomes a ghost town. Bahrain Emergency Command decides to conduct a joint operation between Bahrain National Guard and foreign forces whose citizens are inside the neighborhood such as: Russian Spetsnaz and Nate's Valkyrie Unit. Their plan is to insert the foreign forces first to capture Al - Abi Hotel then defend it until the main force of Bahrain National Guard arrives then sweep remaining militia.

At a rooftop on a grocery, two ninja strangles and stabs two guarding militia RPG team. After turns right and left, he gives a signal. A group of masked men suddenly appear from darkness. Nate looks through his binocular looking for a target. He is asked by Colonel Petrovich, " What are you looking for?".
" Al - Habash Restaurant. That's where her last beacon signal was." Says Nate sadly. " It goes to further north. Come on, we got to move.", " I'm sorry, I mean.. My troops.." Apologizes Nate.
" My friend, don't be ashamed of asking for help. I've seen her. I'm sure she's alright." Comforts Colonel Petrovich.
" Thanks, Colonel. That's what I need." Replies Nate.
The party proceeds their way methodically through streets, buildings and rooms. They kill every militiaman they run into with bladed weapons, crossbows, shuriken and silenced rifles as well sidearms. The party stops when Nate sees Al- Habash neon lights hanging in front of the sacked restaurant. Nate orders four ninjas to check it. Inside the restaurant, four militiamen are rounding six captured civilians begging for their lives. A militiamen executes one of them with a shot through the man's forehead. The executor moves and shoots the second hostage. Suddenly, when he is about to shoot the third hostage, eleven men in black led by an unmasked one leaps the restaurant windows and overwhelm the militiamen, killing two but spare the rest to surprise of the hostages. The two captured enemy are cornered to wall. Nate comes forward and orders Sam in stern tone, " Translate me."
" Answer my questions." Murmurs Nate coldly and angrily. The interrogated one quakes in fear.
" Did you see any Asian woman with two children?"
" The Asian wo-woman.. Yes.. I saw.. Th.. They were take.. taken to Al - Abi Hotel.. Please don't kill me.. Please don't.." Mumbles the militia.
" Who is in charge of this attack?"
" Abb..Abb.. Abdul.. Abdullah Ghoulam.. The Syrian.. He's on the hotel.."
" Tell me how he looks like."
" Tall.. He uses a short gun.. A Mac ten or eleven.. Yes.. Yes.. A Mac.. "
Nate turns to Colonel Petrovich, " I'll give the rest to you."
" Are they alright, Nate?" Asks the Colonel.
" From what I heard, yes. She didn't fight back in order to protect my children. For years I saved many people and hostages. I didn't know if such thing might happen to my family." Says Nate sadly.
Nate looks his surrounding and sees bodies of civilian and militiamen strewn. Glasses were bashed. Tables and chairs turned upside down on floor. The cashier burns. There's no light except reddish radiance from burning concretes. " Colonel, I wasn't here when they were attacked.."
" Stop blaming yourself, my friend. You didn't know this would happen. You didn't know..I know the guilt.. Three years after our first encounter. My only son, Nikolai, was killed in Beslan. I was far away from the city. My son was there but I couldn't do anything. If I could, I would break through the school and save my son, I wouldn't think about myself as long my son is safe. In the end, when I enter the school. I found him dead. I couldn't stop crying for six days. He was a hero, he calmed other children though he himself was afraid. I am proud of him. Today, the pain is still with me as if it happened yesterday."
" Polknovnik..." Says Alexey after hearing Colonel Petrovich's story.
Colonel Petrovich continues, " Yes, Alexey, that's true. I still feel the pain today."
He speaks again to Nate "You and her are heroes. I saw you two held against numerous enemies at the ridge. In the end, you were about to sacrifice yourself. I believe she's alright."
Colonel Petrovich's saying encourages Nate. " Thank you, Colonel. I feel revived now. May you find healing for your heart."
" My pain is relieved when I see a father like you. May your children become heroes just like their father and mother." Replies the Colonel.
" Thank you again, Polkovnik." Says Nate.
After Spetsnaz soldiers finish questioning the militia, the attacking party arms the hostages and ask them to guard the captured militia. Then they continue their advance to the hotel through the ghost town streets.
