Chapter 14

FEMA Joint Field Office

Springfield, Illinois

Event + 14 days

As Aims’ vehicle approached the gate, a National Guard soldier held up a hand to stop him. Aims inched his vehicle forward and stopped beside the guardsmen.

“Identification, please.”

Aims showed him his official badge and waited to be waived through.

“Sir, you are not authorized to leave the facility.”

“What? Not authorized? I didn’t know I needed permission to conduct official FEMA business,” Aims said.

He felt his blood pressure rise and feared a migraine coming on.

“We are currently on lockdown. Only military personnel are authorized to leave at this time. This is for your safety.”

“Look, I have official business at the governor’s office. I have to be able to meet with government officials and people in the field in order to coordinate aid to the citizens of this region.”

“I have my orders, sir.”

Aims inhaled deeply, then exhaled slowly. This was General Dempsey’s doing. He was sure of it.

“I’m sure that you do; however, you do not have the authority to impede the FEMA federal recovery efforts. My staff and I are not under the jurisdiction of the military. So, if you don’t mind, I am late for my meeting.”

The soldier walked away, talking on his radio. A moment later, the soldier stepped aside and waved Aims through the gate. As he drove away, he wondered if he’d ever see the place again.
