Chapter 25

Patrick grew weary of Mr. Spencer. This ever-present advisor was midway through his umpteenth briefing of the day. Something about some group that has begun worshiping the Skells, believing they have raised from the dead like Jesus, and there is concern of a mass suicide planned by the followers. Meanwhile, passing by Patrick’s office door, the president observed generals, mayors, PCRC Security Forces Sector Leads, and businessmen as they made their way to and from meetings down the hallway with Maxwell Gold.

He had asked Maxwell about these meetings and why he was not involved.

“You have more pressing matters than to hear a lot of whining and questions you have already answered ten times. Leave the bullshit to me,” was Maxwell’s answer.

And yet, here he was, listening to a briefing about a bunch of fanatics who had forsaken their idols and decided to follow the infected, believing them raised from the dead.

“Okay, Spencer, what is your point? So a bunch of fanatics pray to the infected and may possibly want to commit mass suicide. Let them. It’s still a free country. If they want to pray to space aliens and science fiction writers, they can do that as well. This hardly seems like a national security threat!” Patrick snapped at Spencer mid-sentence, startling the man.

“Mr. Gold has instructed us to never interrupt his meetings. Especially if the door is closed, he was—”

Patrick cut off the nervous sounding man. “I want you to go to his office and bring them down here.” Patrick said, his voice becoming a low growl.

“Yes, sir, I will ask him—”

“What the fuck are you not understanding?” Patrick shouted, again cutting the man off. “I did not say ask him anything. I told you to tell him to cease his meeting and continue it in my office. Did you understand that, or do you need to clean the shit out of your ears?”

Spencer turned and walked out of the Oval Office in a hurry.

Patrick fiddled with the pens on his desk. He tried to calm down. He had lost it on Spencer, used language that didn’t belong in the work environment. He was not used to handling situations, especially work situations, in such a manor. But he was also not used to being President of the United States before—the enormity of his position hit him. A couple weeks ago, he was nearly pissing his pants in a hotel room off the turnpike. Now he was sitting in the most powerful office in the world.

He wielded powers that were unprecedented, but how much of that power was truly in
