Chapter 2
Republicans
Vice
President Adams’ limo caravan arrived back at the White House less than ten
minutes after the fiasco with the Senate ended. He walked, surrounded by secret
service agents, up the steps of the front lawn wearing a very wide and pleased
smirk on his face. Once inside he immediately set out for the president. He
asked everyone in the building, if they knew where the president was, but no
one knew. Finally, he busted through the doors to the oval office, and there
sitting in the red chair behind the presidential desk was Richard Smith,
president of the United
States of America .
“I hear you
have good news for me, Matt,” President Smith said.
“Yes. I
have very good news. The Senate has finally approved the dispatching of the
National Guard into California .
Everything is going as planned.”
The
president, very carefully, got up out his seat and walked towards the doors.
Slowly and silently, he shut them. “How many times have I told you not to talk
about ‘The Plan’ when there is a possibility of someone over hearing?” he said.
Smirking he remarked, “We are sending ‘troops’ into one of the last democratic
strong hold in the U.S.
I would hope that EVERYTHING is going to plan.”
“Exactly.
That is exactly right, Mr. President. The generals have their orders. All of
them know what to do once across the borders. They are to infiltrate the cities
of Los Angeles , San Diego ,
and Sacramento .”
“Very nice.
Very nice indeed.” Richard took a second to think and then suddenly, “Wait a
minute. California
doesn’t suspect anything do they?”
Matt
replied very quickly to this statement, “No sir. They don’t expect a thing. The
recent surge in gang violence is looking to be the perfect cover up for our
operation.”
“Good.
Good. Very good.” Rick look very relieved to hear this out loud, but he still
had a bad feeling about this whole thing. “Matt, go and give the order to send
the guards in tomorrow!”
“As you
wish.” And with that the vice president swiftly left the office.
With
Matthew Adams gone, Richard Smith had time to think to himself. After sitting
alone in the quietness of his empty office for about two minutes, he said out
loud, “This time next week, California will be controlled by the Republicans.”
