Explosion

The phone rang in Present Cammon’s office.

“Hello?” he answered. Just as he normally did.

“Mr. Present. The Manhattan subway system, every inch of, it has just exploded. This is a confirmed terrorist attack. Everyone in, above, or even near the subway system has been killed. We need to get you into the vault, in case of a further attack We will give you further details once you are in there.” a voice said.

Silence on the other end.

“Sir, we need you into the vault, in case this is just one of a series of attacks.” The man said.

“As an order from the president, make sure no news reports get in the area. I will go on camera from the vault addressing the situation. We will tell the public that it was a gas pipe exploding, running with the subway system. I want all traffic stopped with in New York. All of it.”

“Yes sir. Call your service, get in the vault.” The man said.

“Thank you.” President Cammon responded.

He hung up the phone, and gave thought to the overall security of American soil.
