Chapter 5

GGC Building, Canary Wharf, London, England, UK - 2028

‘I accept that you are a little confused by the first council meeting, Christina, but wanting to resign your commission after only just accepting it is a little rash, don’t you think?’ Lord Butler said, his arm resting on her shoulder as they stood outside the council chamber. Four junior ministers glanced at them and walked off down the wood-panelled corridor. Christina pulled away from Lord Butler and turned towards a large window.

‘It seems like we are creating another global dictatorship. Even the term Global Government Collective sounds like we are collecting governments,’ she said. ‘I don’t see how my role will help the Floodlanders out there who need it. Do you realise how many times the word control was used in that session, not help or guide or govern, but control!’

‘That’s what you’ll have to get your head around, Christina. You will effect change at a much higher level but rarely see the effects it has on the normal person in the Floodlands of the world. We have to focus on controlling the water and energy resources otherwise chaos and anarchy will continue. The warlords of the ever-growing megacities will need our help with that control. Surely, you can understand that?’ Lord Butler said.

Half an hour later, Christina was sitting at her desk, staring at a mountain of brown files that had just been delivered to her office and dumped in front of her. The pile of manila folders added to her misery. It was her job to sort through them and recruit men to help with the GGC agenda.

‘Deputy Minister,’ a voice dragged her back from her thoughts. She looked up to see the slim, young GGC private standing in front of her desk, with another armful of files. He smiled meekly and placed them on the floor near her desk.

‘Are those all for me?’ she asked.

‘Yes, Deputy Minister,’ he replied. ‘These are the last from Ministers Kohler and Kirilenko’s office.’

‘Bloody hell, it’s going to take me a while to get through these,’ she said, flicking through the file on the top of the pile.

The young soldier then handed her a letter.

‘What is this?’ she asked.

‘My new orders, Deputy Minister. I have been assigned to you.’.

‘Assigned to me? Whatever for?’

‘My orders and duties are to cover everything from being an admin assistant, personal bodyguard and general dogsbody,’ he said, a big smile across his face.

She laughed. ‘I guess I do look like I need the help, don’t I?’

‘It comes at the insistence of Lord Butler and Minister Kirilenko, Deputy Minister.’

‘What is your name?’ she asked.

‘Warren Smith, Deputy Minister.’

‘Please call me Christina.’

‘No! I do not think so,’ bellowed a voice from the door.

Christina jumped as she looked up at the tall uniformed man in the doorway. He walked towards the desk, sneering at the young private. The young man snapped a salute at his superior, who in turn replied sharply. ‘You’re dismissed, Private.’

Christina glared at the man who had just walked in.
