Chapter 7e -- Android, iPhone Book


The room erupted again, with reporters raising their hands for questions. "Yes. Ms. Atherton."

"Mr President, what started the shooting in Colebrook?"

Clifford glanced down at his pocket computer on the podium, "A Guard attempted to question two boys about a package they were carrying. One of the boys stabbed the Guard with a knife. The local militia up there are apparently using children as couriers. When the Guards tried to capture the two for questioning, shooting erupted. The crime syndicate in Colebrook took no prisoners. They call themselves the Covenant and they're well armed and well organized. One more thing: In subsequent fighting, a well-trained, tactical squad inflicted many casualties in a raid on an armament cache in Lancaster, New Hampshire. Raids by this group forced the Guard out of the region."

Nancy Atherton raised her hand again, requesting, "Follow-up, please," as other reporters jiggled around her like fleas.

"Ms. Atherton."

"When will you regain control, and how many casualties are we willing to take in the process?"

"We aren't willing to take any casualties, Ms. Atherton. But we will minimize deaths by using overwhelming force. What the Guard didn't have in the North Country was heavy armaments. When we go back, it will be in full force with air support."

"Here, Mr. President. Here. Mr. President. Mr President." A cacophony of voices resounded throughout the room.

"Ms. Kristen Mallory from TBS News."

Kristen shook her head and swayed her blond hair out of her eyes. She briefly glanced at Steve Morrison before she spoke. "Why did the Colebrook smugglers use depleted uranium bullets--more commonly called tank-killers--against Pack 220 in the Dixville Massacre, but not one bullet of this type was used against the Guard in New Hampshire or in Vermont?" She turned to Morrison with a satisfied slither on her lips.

Winifred looked down at the pockettop screen searching for an answer. He could feel his neck warm and suspected his face was reddening. "Well, you must be referring to the baseless accusations in the Spectator News." He punched buttons on his computer as though scanning for notes. "We are uncertain that the bullets you're talking about were used by the smugglers at Dixville--"

"Oh yes," shouted Ms. Mallory. "I have one right here from the massacre site." She lifted a small wooden box and opened it. A bullet sat tucked inside the lead-lined container. She used a pair of tweezers to lift the bullet up for all to see. "How would a group of backwoods smugglers get hold of such a sophisticated piece of technology?"

"It is very likely that New Hampshire smugglers had some sophisticated weaponry at Dixville," stated the President. "Guards come home on leave; one or more could have worked in requisition. With all the weapons caches throughout this country, armaments could have been stolen by people from within--small amounts, of course," Clifford tilted his hand toward the reporter who displayed the bullet, "the reason for the limited production of such projectiles." Winifred scratched his nose and looked directly at the inquiring reporter. "I'm not sure what you're implying. Are you suggesting, Ms. Mallory, that the United States Military, under the command of the President of the United States, set up and murdered those boys at Dixville? And if so, for what reason?"

Ms. Mallory stammered, "Well, ah, perhaps it was a mistake--"

"Absolutely, Ms. Mallory, and you made it," Winifred continued. "Journalists have a duty to dig out and report the facts--not to opinionize and then present it as fact."

"I was at the site--" Steve Morrison blurted.
