“Everything—shrubbery, lawn, even the Marine guards—looked like they had just been wrung out or needed to be. Inside, the diplomatic reception room had been a few degrees cooler if only for being out of the direct sunlight. But Hank Larson was not prepared for the frigid blast that greeted him when he stepped off the high security elevator into the Super Bunker or Super-B as it was commonly referred to. It was completed at a cost $86 billion in 2013 when terrorist threats were mainly from foreig...n sources. Today’s terrorists were more often domestic than foreign. The Super-B’s entryway was fifty meters under the West Wing and its floor space was bigger than the entire first floor of the White House. The president moved into the Super-B within a week of assuming office twenty-four years ago and had only ventured outside on rare occasions ever since. He would have gladly stepped down from office after just one term but for a shortage of candidates to run for his office. Today’s politicians preferred the safety of working behind the scenes to death from an assassin’s bullet.MoreLess
