The White House, Washington, DC

“We estimate seventy percent,” said Jack Ross, formerly of FEMA. “Not too bad.”

Leonard nodded his head, impressed. “And you’re off to the St. Louis camp today.”

“Within the hour.” Jack looked at his watch.

“Good to have you onboard, Jack.”

“Where I want to be. You know I’m an apocalypse monger,” Jack snickered. “But, honestly Leo, how long am I onboard for?”

“What do you mean?” Leonard asked.

“With seventy percent of the cities vacated, we’re losing power left and right. Lines of communication are dropping. The Midwest has no phone service. And at last check with our military, we’re losing them in droves.”

“I’m aware of it. Still, we have a lot of the population moving into the camps. Correct?”

“The ones who haven’t gone to the hills or underground.”

“Those not in camps will eventually starve. In the next two days we move everything we have to these sites, including all surplus food. We have men we can count on at every site, right? They’ll be in strict control of the armored divisions, plus the mobile greenhouses will be transported and in place soon. People will see that when the dust settles, we’ll be taking care of them.”

“Ergo, they won’t bite the hand that feeds them,” Jack smiled.

“Exactly.” Leonard clenched his fist. “We just need to pound in the notion that they made the right decision to leave themselves to our care.”

“What does Devante say?” Jack asked.

“His people are spreading the word, the good news... the gospel, as it were,” Leonard smirked. “And that’s enough for now. Everything’s falling apart, and he has to grab it. And you and I both know actions speak louder than words. What we need is one more loud action.”

“President O’Neill.” General Admen walked into the office. “We have a situation,” the general said. “Got a call... the emergency line from Russia.”

“What the hell do they want now?” Leonard whined.

“It’s serious. Russia... Russia has made a last-ditch attempt to reach us.”

“To ask for help?” Leonard asked.

“To warn us.” General Admen tossed a folder on the desk. “Seems their strategic defense computer system went south, froze... at a countdown to launch in seventy-two hours.”

“Actions speak louder than words.” Leonard looked at Jack. “Bingo.”
