Chapter 16
The Nevada
Richard
Smith could not believe the words that the Secretary of Defense had just
spoken. He didn’t have any words to respond to the comment. “Well…just do
whatever you can to settle the situation and make sure that Canada does not
enter the war. If they enter, then there is nothing stopping others from
entering on either side. We cannot let this escalade into another world war.”
“You do
understand that in order for me to complete the job you have set forth for me,
I must be given more power than I currently hold?”
“Fine, I
give you whatever power necessary to complete the job and make sure that our
neighbors to the North do not enter this war.”
“Thank you
Mr. President.”
Richard hung up the phone again.
Just like the last time he started to walk away and the phone rang, but this
time the president continued to walk away. “Screw it. Strong can handle it.”
Skies
over Utah
“Mr. Adams. We have contacted the
Californians and they have agreed to meet with you.”
“Thank you Jeff.” Mr. Adams thanked
his assistant, whom he brought along with him because he trusted him more than
anyone else. Matt then heard a rather loud beeping coming from the cockpit of
the jet. He could see the pilots fumbling around with the controls, trying to
figure out what the problem was. The second pilot found where the beeping was
coming from. He turned his head toward the first pilot and pointed at where the
beeping had occurred. They both stared at each other in disbelief and then they
simultaneously turned their heads towards Matt and worriedly look at him.
“What? What is it? What’s wrong?”
The first pilot opened his mouth to
say, “Sir, we have picked up two fighter jets on our radar.”
“Where are we currently?”
“We are now over the skies of Utah . We are almost to
the Nevada border.”
