Chapter 14

“The White House has seen its share of troubles these last few days. Today, however, has been its hardest blow. First we have seen the assassination of Senator David Rustlin followed by the death of former TDF director, Roger Cornelius. As if these attacks weren’t brutal enough, Secretary of Defense Henry Rylings was brutally killed in his own vehicle along with his driver on Virginia Avenue this afternoon. We have not received an official word from White House officials as of yet. We can only speculate that these attacks were caused by the mysterious assassin that attacked the president recently. This is Debra Hall, reporting live just outside the White House. Back to you, Jenny.”

President McKinsey turns off the television and sits on the arms of the couch in his office for a few minutes, silently. FBI director, Todd Nichols sits on another couch opposite of the one that the president occupies. “What’s the status on Doug Wiltkins and Mike Grines?” he asks the FBI man.
