Tim and John shot their targets as they had done every other day. They talked about blowing up the Middle East and Russia as they had before. The only thing that wasn't normal was that there was going to be an inspection by the military leaders of the region. Well, the leaders heard Tim and John talking about their plans and ordered them out of the army immediately. They protested, saying that they were talking about an awesome Apple IIe computer game. The protests were in vain, however, for they had to pack their bags and leave.
For the first few days, Tim and John cried. Their childhood dreams had been dashed by bad luck. Then John thought of a way to get back at the government.
"We could blow up a federal building or something," said John.
"That's a good idea, but where could get the stuff to make a bomb?" asked Tim.
"My pa said you could make one out of fertilizer," answered John. "Let's do it!" exclaimed Tim.
They tried a practice test in Kingman, Arizona and blew up the biggest trailer in town, the mayor's house. They then decided that the Alfred Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City would be the best to blow up.
John rented a Ryder truck in Junction City, Kansas and put the bomb in it. He drove the truck to Oklahoma City, while Tim traveled in the getaway car, a Grand Marquis. They parked their cars in front of the Federal Building. After Tim took off the license plate on the getaway car and put it on another car, John set the bomb to blow up in fifteen seconds. Everything was set. Then tragedy happened.
John fell and couldn't geup before the bomb blew up and killed him and 167 other people. Tim raced away in the getaway car and kept on driving until he was caught speeding 100 miles away. The police arrested him for carrying a gun and held him in jail.
Tim thought he was home free because he was about to be released, but a deputy recognized him as John Doe #1 on TV and turned him in to the F.B.I.
He stood trial in 1997 for the bombing. He was convicted, and after many appeals, executed by way of lethal injection. Later, the F.B.I. found out that John Doe #2's real name was Dan Rostenkowski. Nobody lived happily ever after especially the guys at NBC since they couldn't make a TV-movie on the whole story because it would be too traumatic for little kids.
