Congressman Harold Briggs was sitting and staring into the storm filled night. His campaign manager was talking at a rapid pace as to what subjects would be covered at the next rally set for Northern Michigan. The day before he had been ambushed when he found himself losing his place even with a teleprompter. The days polls had shown he had slipped by eight points and was now in a virtual tie with both of his Republican and Democratic opponents.

“Congressman, did you hear what I just said?”

He turned from the window inside the suite at the Hyatt Place hotel. “Yes, I heard you say my numbers were down.”

“That’s not what I just said, Congressman. I said Senator James Booker just rescinded his endorsement of you.”

“Uh, huh.”

“Look, if you’re worried about Mr. Fleming, I’ve got a call into his office in Washington. With your debacle in Houston I’m sure he’s got his hands full putting out fires in the capitol.”

The campaign manager looked at Briggs and she grew angry. She gathered up her briefing materials and placed them in her briefcase.

“I better go to bed before I end up resigning right here, right now.”

Briggs didn’t react to her comment as his mind had shut down. Instead he walked to the bar and again poured another drink. The woman left the suite, slamming his door as she did.

With drink in hand he turned and faced the window again. The lights of Louisiana’s capitol were diffused in the rain and for the most part all he could see was his own reflection. As he lifted the glass to his lips he suddenly froze as his reflection wasn’t the only one he was looking at in the glass. Asmodius was right behind him. Briggs screamed and dropped his glass and fell to the floor as he turned to see nothing. He started to cry and placed his hands over his eyes. He tried to stand and fell. His eyes roamed to the large television. This time he found the sudden energy to stand as he ran for the remote control. He turned up the sound.

‘…the reason for the disaster has yet to be determined. Rescue boat were on the scene within five minutes of the explosion that rocked the entirety of the Gulf region. Thus far the United States Coast Guard claims the casualty list will be in the extreme. At this time not much is known as to the bottom-line ownership of the Mystery Deep platform, but the Maritime Industries Management firm said the investigation is ongoing.’

Harold Briggs again collapsed into the divan facing the television. When he turned toward the window, again he saw the image of the giant Grey. It was smiling at him. He squeezed his eyes shut as tight as he could and then threw the remote control and struck the window. The plastic device shattered. That was when Briggs knew if he wasn’t careful, he would end up like his campaign manager—a victim of Sokol and his Grey ally covering their tracks.
