Chapter 35

Day 2 - White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia

The four Special Ops helicopters put down on the meticulously manicured lawn that separated the granite and marble architectural marvel from the thirty six-hole golf course. The Greenbrier in West Virginia was built in the fifties and was totally remodeled during Reagan’s years in office. Originally a country club, it was now the seat of power for the U.S. government. It held vast underground caverns and stored everything two hundred people would need to survive for three years. An aquifer ran under the property and the air inside was scrubbed and constantly replaced every twelve hours. Rumor had it that during the Cuban missile crisis in 1962 President Kennedy took refuge here.

The Greenbrier was where de-facto President Valerie Clay now presided over the United States.

Captain Mike Desantos, flanked by the surviving members of his Delta Team, ducked his head and rapidly covered the distance from the Black Hawk to the group awaiting them.

President Clay was flanked by her Secret Service Detail. It consisted of four fit looking men with SCAR machine guns at the ready, heads swiveling on the lookout for any threats. Each man had an earpiece and the obligatory dark sunglasses.

Valerie Clay was still getting used to being POTUS. She reached out her hand only to be greeted by textbook salutes from the operators.

Well, I am the Commander in Chief now. President Clay reciprocated to the best of her ability and then got down to business.

“Captain Desantos, you were tasked to retrieve the football because we have reason to believe the Chinese released the virus. Currently eight of our carrier groups are at sea. What is most distressing is that they are all being shadowed by the Chinese Navy’s new submarine fleet. They have near silent hunter killers and have already used them to sink one of our boomers. I and the remaining brass believe this may go nuclear. As much as it’s not the American way to strike first, it might be our only option.”

“I know it’s probably way above my pay grade, but how bad has China been affected by the virus or whatever it is?” Mike queried the new President.

“Just between you and I, we have lost all contact with our human intelligence on the ground. China has gone quiet as has most of the Asian continent. On the last nighttime pass our Keyhole satellite relayed imaging indicating massive power outages, even in Beijing. The last contact with our eyes on the ground was day one of the infection here stateside. He indicated the government had gone underground and most of the population was being confined to their homes. The most chilling intel he forwarded was that he had observed Chinese death squads shooting and bagging anyone in the streets.”

“First of all, with all due respect, Madam President, the death squads were culling the infected... right?”

“No, our man said that the majority of the people killed in the first wave were all healthy citizens. The government knew how virulent the bug was that got away from them.
