“Emergency National Reserve Operations Center.
Presidential Wing.
BRENDA GAVE A POLITE nod to the Marine guard standing at the entrance to the President’s office. He checked her badge and ID information against his list and smiled as he opened the door for her. "This way ma'am.”
She stepped into the President's temporary Oval Office and paused. President Harris had been forced to use a room without windows. He was the leader—the legitimate leader—of the free world. He’d been Speaker of the... House when President Denton died—Brenda would never forget the speech the old President made as he died in front of her, naming Harris to replace him. It wasn’t the most auspicious start to a presidency, but with Barron playing king, she figured Harris at least acted more like a President—even if he did have to work in an office without a window. As she found her seat, she reciprocated the nods of greeting from the gathered Cabinet. This was not her first briefing in the new Oval Office. Brenda braced herself—she did not want to be here at the center of power. She believed her expertise was better suited to treating the wounded. Besides, there seemed to be no shortage of patients—they seemed to arrive almost hourly at the Denver International Airport, high above them on the surface.MoreLess
