Marshall Tate reviewed the intelligence summary put together for him by some of Page Larson’s people. The more he read, the sicker he felt. Tate wanted to vomit, but he knew this was not the time or place. He needed to push through and read this information so he’d be ready for his private meeting with his Secretary of Defense, David Hill, and his National Security Advisor, Page Larson. The three of them were trying to come up with a joint statement responding to this latest round of hostility.
I didn’t sign up for this, Tate thought. This wasn’t the way he’d been told this would play out. He had to find a way to put an end to this before the country was completely ripped apart.
He couldn’t concentrate. Tate decided a moment of procrastination was needed and flipped on the flat-screen TV in his room. A CNN report immediately caught his attention, and he turned the volume up. Soon he sat there transfixed.
The television anchor asked, “Jay, can you explain to the viewers what you’re seeing?”
The reporter responded, “Yes. Apparently, earlier this morning, nineteen Republican state legislators and their families were apprehended by state militia and brought to a detention facility outside the city of Milwaukee. The details of what happened next are still a bit murky as we’ve been unable to confirm exactly what transpired, but what we do know for sure is that the buses that were transporting these individuals were attacked.”
The reporter paused, letting out a deep breath. “No one survived the assault. Along with the legislators and their families, eight state militia members that had been transporting these individuals were also killed.”
This is getting out of control, Tate thought. He clenched his fist angrily before changing the channel to RT Worldwide. A reporter who looked like he’d been up all night was speaking.
“Looting is running rampant in the city of Los Angeles as all civil functions have completely broken down. The entire southern half of the state is without power. Without electricity, there is no running water, no refrigeration for food or medication, no working traffic lights, and for now, no cellular service. It’s pure chaos here. The police are completely overwhelmed.”
The anchor asked, “What about the California Civil Defense Force? Or any other government support? Is anyone providing them with assistance in this terrible tragedy?”
“It would appear that the southern half of the state is completely on its own,” the reporter answered. “After a large percentage of the California Army National Guard defected back to the US government’s control, the California CDF in this part of the state was largely slaughtered by the US Marines when they captured the ports of LA and Long Beach. At this time, the US Marines have not ventured into the city and have primarily remained camped out on the ports and along the US-Mexico border.
“The elements of the California Army National Guard that defected to the Marines are also nowhere to be seen.
