10.39AM, 16th September 2015, US Embassy, London.

“Mr. Ambassador, we need to get you to a secure location.” The US Ambassador for London, Benjamin Franklin Winchester the third, looked up from his briefing papers as the head of his protection detail walked in without knocking.

“Is it really that serious?” Winchester asked.

“Yes, sir. The CIA station chief has already ordered the evacuation of his staff. Helicopters are en route from our air base at Croughton. They will be here in 20 minutes.” The head of his protection detail looked harassed, stressed even. Winchester had never seen him like that.

“Helicopters?” the ambassador asked.

“Yes, sir. The city is becoming grid-locked.” Winchester nodded to his protector, who walked out of the room, closing the door behind him. Winchester hadn’t been alone in the room, and he looked at his startled secretary.

“Elizabeth, get me the Secretary of State. If I’m going to replay the fall of Hanoi, I want to know why.”

“Yes, Mr. Ambassador,” she said, standing and rushing out of the room, leaving her pile of paperwork on the seat she had just vacated. What the hell is this? the ambassador asked himself. First the rioting, then the British Prime Minister had stalled him on the meeting he had requested. Winchester picked up the remote control and turned on the news channel on his office’s TV. The news was all about the apparent chaos in London. Headlining the news was the smoking crater that had been the centre of the Metropolitan Police’s operation. There was a beep on his intercom, and he pressed the button.

“Mr. Ambassador, I have the Secretary of State for you.” That was quick, thought the ambassador.

“Mr. Secretary, I’ve just been told of the evacuation order. Is there anything I need to know?”

“Ben,” the voice over the intercom said, “you need to get your people out of there. I’m arranging transport for all your US-born staff. You’re going on the first transport, and the rest of your team will follow.”

“But why?” asked Winchester. “Surely rioting doesn’t affect us. Hell this place is a fortress, and I’ve got sixty marines here to hold the fort, not to mention the Secret Service detail.” There was a pained silence from the other end of the line.

“Ben, it’s not just rioting. We have viable intel from the NSA and MI6 that this is a bio-weapons attack. The British are putting troops on the streets, but this is anything but simple rioting. This is turning into a full on war. The streets of London are already burning and we need you out of there.”

“So where are you relocating me to?”

“We’re not relocating you. We’re bringing you home, Ben. All US military personnel are being recalled to their bases, and after a short quarantine period, they are being brought back to the states. From what we are seeing from the NSA feeds, the president has made the decision to airlift everyone home.” Winchester sat back in his plush leather seat, personally selected to go in the office that had been his for over five years.
