"How far have you gotten in school?" Buck asks.

Outside Saga recovers and grins standing back up straight but still keeping one arm crossed over to partially shield the view.

"I don't think I need what you want." She says playfully as she follows his gaze.

"And it's Mrs. Berg actually." She says and raises an eyebrow teasingly.

"Actually I wanted to talk to you about something we want to start running from here. An initiative on suicide prevention. Completely nonpartisan and something you'd maybe want to get involved with." she says.

It is ironic that Ellen Walton sees herself almost agreeing with Norris Vilseck but even though she recognizes that he is only saying what he is to make an attack he has a very good point. Ms. West had made a terribly foolish decision. Haste and pride had taken over good common sense. She did not have experience creating any events like this but tried to do it without help and in only a few days and there should not have been surprise that it blew up in her face. They had actually gotten lucky that the fight with the police had not escalated and that there were not more problems in other areas of the rally. The foolish move was a blow to more of their broad movement then the Progressives specifically but it could have been much worse.

Sharing a stage with Breckenridge was not a wise political decision. It set him up to be pushed out of his party even more and have him as an Independent candidate in the election that West would run in rather than a Republican which will complicate the path to victory. But that was a choice that could be understood with his position. Not coming to Walton for help in something she was qualified for and had the resources for is more troubling. West is a good and dedicated part of the movement. She is also more headstrong than is good for her but she would learn. Walton was young and headstrong once too. West is in a painful situation from her actions and Walton decides to lose a little of the professional barrier she has always on for just a little bit and offer some comfort.


To: Sarah June West
From: Ellen Walton



Subject: Aftermath



Dear Ms. West,

I would like to first offer my sympathies for what you have been and will be facing after the National March for Equality. You and I both know the way that the right wing and even the Democrats today target scapegoats whenever they can and it is never a positive experience. Don't blame yourself for the problems with security and peacekeeping. When you are trying these things for the first times problems always come up and while what happened was unfortunate mistakes and even failures are part of the learning curve and not something to be ashamed of. In the future I hope that we may cooperate more closely on these kinds of events to smooth that curve and attempt to prevent these unfortunate happenings, and I am sure that with that cooperation and growing experience that you can continue your strong progress forward. If you need someone to talk to I am here for you if you need me.

With Best Wishes,

Ellen Walton


Once the email is done she returns back to work. The progress in Rhode Island is still steady and does not need any changes. Today her work is reviewing files on possible candidates in New Jersey as time slips away there. While she had hopes for Soberman as a person she was clearly a journalist and not a candidate interested in campaigning or running. That is fine. Everyone had different roles to play and candidates were not the only ones who could be valuable. It does mean that Walton needs to start looking for someone else to fill that other role and so she goes over the reports through the evening.

Senate Offices, Washington DC

The day had come for the Oath Keepers to meet with Egazarian. Speaking with the leader of the Oath Keepers, Stewart Rhodes, he arranged so that the meeting would be held in his personal office, which they were fine with. This allowed to meeting to seem more professional to the OK's, however to spark controversy in the Senate from senators and their aides looking upon a radical group freely walking into Egazarian's office. With Rhodes were two men: Herman Borovsky, co-founder of the Oath Keepers, and Jim Hutchinson, leader of their Virginia Chapter. They arrived precisely on time and knocked at Egazarian's door. Egazarian opened the door.

Mr. Rhodes, it is a pleasure to have you here. As for you, Mr. Borovsky and Hutchinson. Please, come in.

*silently, they entered the office and took their seats with Rhodes in the middle*

Mr. Rhodes, have your partners been informed of the situation?

Of course, Senator Egazarian.

*Rhodes nodded at Borovsky*

Senator Egazarian? This march of yours, its purpose is to make legislators informed that America's citizens shall not stand idly by when our Constitution is being broken, correct?

Correct, Mr. Borovsky.

If they were concerned about the defense of the Constitution, the would the not already be working towards its defense? Wouldn't there be more senators like you and Senator Amaras forming a powerful bloc in Congress? Would a rally of a couple hundred or even a few thousand in a place hundreds of miles away from their own constituents really be a catalyst?


To be straight with you, there is no way we can determine this........ There is one thing we can determine, however. Currently the Oath Keepers are not the only organization I have reached out to. I have invited dozens of other interest groups for limited government and gun rights, conservative and liberal alike, to join us in this march. All of them, except one whom I still await their response, have enthusiastically agreed to join. Based upon their membership statistics and proximity to Washington DC, from these organizations alone I can determine that there will be at least 1000 people in attendance.

*he let that sink in for a moment*

If 1000 people "march on" the Capitol, this will require some form of response from Congress and even the White House. These numbers do not include people who shall come to the march anyways without being a member of any organization, though for realistic reasons I cannot determine their own population. So as to answer your question, Mr. Borovsky, a march of perhaps 1500 people on the Capitol will warrant some form of response. I myself have my own legislation which I shall immediately introduce after the conclusion of the march, but what good politician would be against the defense of the Constitution? It would be hard to condemn such a march so long as extreme radicals or infiltrators do not ruin it.

Senator Egazarian? As leader of the Virginia Chapter of the Oath Keepers, and in cooperation with other local chapters, I can note that there are 1,250 members of the Oath Keepers within a 100 mile radius. However given the nature of our organization being made up by current and former first responders, it would prove to be difficult to have even third of them attend such a march on a Tuesday. Is it possible for such a march to be rescheduled for the following Saturday?

Recalling the schedule of marches and protests in DC, this should be not much of an issue itself. However as you know, it is objectively harder to manage protests on Saturdays than on Weekdays for capital police. Given my position however, this should not be much of an issue. I can see what I can do.

The purpose of this rally and march is quite honorable and needed in our current political climate. I do not believe that anyone in this room can counter this claim. However what we do find issue with, Senator Egazarian, is that this may serve as a political stunt by yourself. I do not intend to be quite blunt however as former officers and servicemen of the law, we condemn self-serving acts such as this.

*Egazarian nodded*

This is understandable. It has not come out yet however......

*Egazarian told Rhodes and the other two what he was to say*

I see. And this is set in stone?

Indeed. he said calmly

We may contact you regarding that on a later date, however as for myself this resolves that issue. You two?

*Borovsky and Hutchinson nodded*

Very well, we are in agreement.

Senator Egazarian, I have helped to manage rallies and marches for the Oath Keepers and allied organizations alike in the past. Even on a small scale they are not the easiest to organize. For such a planned rally, a mass rally, do you have any team to help organize such an event?

I have contracted my personal aides to the task of ensuring this march's efficiency. However I myself am the main organizer. Though after it shall be publicly announced I shall be forming an official team to aid my assistants.

Speaking of which, when do you plan on announcing the event? Because right now everything has been kept in the dark and the more time we waste, the less time people have to prepare and plan for the trek to DC.

Tomorrow I have a scheduled interview with Fox News. I requested it so that the interviewer, I believe it will be Shawn Gannity, will not even know of my announcement.

If it is tomorrow then you must correct the date A-S-A-P.

This is understood Mr. Hutchinson. I shall complete the task immediately after this meeting.

*Hutchinson nodded*

Senator Egazarian, earlier you mentioned that you have legislation which you shall propose to the Senate immediately afterwards. What do you have in mind?

*without speaking, Egazarian opened a drawer in his desk and took out a single piece of paper. he placed it in front of Rhodes. he analyzed it for a few moment as his aides did likewise*

ARE YOU MAD?!?! demanded Hutchinson

Hutchinson! Be silent! Do not take this just for what is written on the surface........ I see its intent.

*Egazarian gave his famous smirk*

Do you now?

Indeed. This will keep the federal government in check alright. Clever. However I fear that is shall never be passed in the Senate, let alone the House. Is there a backup?

Not as of yet. However if y'all have any suggestions I shall be quite open.

*Hutchinson continued to shake his head*

Rhodes, do you want us to lose any credibility we gain during the march? If this passes Congress, this will be sure to cause a civi......!

Hutchinson! I ordered you to remain silent! Please, Senator Egazarian, defend yourself.

Mr. Hutchinson I do not intend to infuriate you. What I have written is of serious intent. While I thoroughly want it to pass, it can also be used to force the other side to compromise so as not to pass this. A win-win situation if you may. Although in Congress I shall defend this will all my might.

*Hutchinson sat back*

You are a dangerous man, Senator Egazarian. For as absurd as this is, I see where you are getting at and it is indeed genius. Whatever happens shall happen, I guess.

*there was a brief silence for a moment*

Senator, I believe that we here have heard enough. Would you allow us to step out a moment to discuss?

Of course! Take your time, I shall use this moment to contact City Planning to reschedule it. he said looking at Hutchinson

Very well. Borovsky? Hutchinson?

*the three of them stepped out of the office. Egazarian called city planning*

Hello? City Planning? Yes, this is Senator Egazaria, I have a march planned for April 18th in front of the Capitol. Is it possible to reschedule it for the Saturday following the 18th? I'm willing to pay for any additional charges that may be necessary for security and traffic control........

*within 10 minutes, given how the march was still more than a month away and no planning by the police has taken part yet, it was rescheduled. however outside his office, quietly, the Oath Keepers continued to quarrel amongst themselves for another 20 minutes before reaching an agreement. when they were finished, they knocked at the office door*

Senator Egazarian? On behalf of the Oath Keepers, we would like inform you that we as an organization shall support your rally and march. We have concluded that we shall fulfill this role by advertising it amongst our members, the Virginia, West Virginia, Maryland, and Pennsylvania chapters are to organize official trips to it, and advertise it also to our group's allies. Is there anything else that we may do?

*Egazarian shook his head, smiling*

Not at all, this is the best conclusion that could've been reached in my mind. Thank you very very much, Mr. Rhodes.

*Egazarian shook his hand as well as the hands of his men*

Perhaps we can go shooting sometime?

*he laughed*

I would very much so enjoy that. Has the rally be rescheduled by the way?

Ooh yes, it has been. Thank you for reminding me. Thankfully because thy themselves have not planned for it yet, I was able to reschedule it quit easily.

Very well then. We shall depart now, Senator. It was a pleasure meeting you. I wish you luck in your political endeavors and for this march.

*they shook hands again*

Thank you very much. We shall keep in contact, I'll let you know of any new moves regarding the march. If you can, watch Fox News tomorrow at 9pm EST.

And with that, the meeting ended.

Man looked suspicious to Marlowe. Men didn't offer other men flowers. Unless they were gays. And gays did beat up Senator de Pena. Taking into account that man may be part of the broader conspiracy, Marlowe carefully took the flowers: "Thank you, my fellow gendersexual!" It would be better to blend in to their kind not to arouse suspicion. He showed the man the way to Senators room and after he departed he decided to shadow him sneakily.

"Gendersexual? Does that word even exist?" the man said, thinking Marlowe is aware of some sort of internet slang from some politically correct site. However, Marlowe does proceed to show the man where Spicy's room is. He couldn't tell if there was security inside or if there were other people inside the room with Spicy. He did notice a security officer and informed him he was just sending a Get Well Soon card.

Sarah was not to bummed about the attacks made against her. With the political situation being as volatile and with ideological battles being fought daily it came well with the role she has chosen to play. However, the way things at the March themselves had gone out of hand were incredibly worrisome. So there was a globe of fear in her throat when she opened the e-mail by Ellen Walton. However, as she read on, that globe began to disappear and feeling of relief took its part. She typed up an answer, it seemed maybe too short, but certainly formal enough for Ellen Walton:

From: Sarah June West
To: Ellen Walton

Dear Mrs. Walton

First of all, I wish to thank you for your encouraging e-mail. I am aware that the incident at the March was partially my fault- organization was rushed and some people who shouldn't have been invited were invited. On the other hand, the fact that we managed to have 10 000 people come and march against Reed, in just a few days and with minimum of logistical resources speaks that there is a growing dissatisfaction with the way president Reed runs our country. I would like to meet with you at your earliest convenience to discuss the ways in which we have improve our cooperation and make sure that the momentum we got going isn't wasted on unnecessary scandals.

Regards.

June,

"This looks like the place my nephew recommended." Kramer thought to himself as he stared at the logo on the building. After a few seconds of indecision Kramer wheeled himself into the Starbucks and joined the line.

"Does it usually take this long to get served?" Kramer thought to himself before eventually reaching the front of the line directly opposite a Female in her late teens.

"Hello." Kramer nervously said fearing that he would be noticed by the customers.

"Hello." What would you like the girl responded.

"Hmm." Kramer said as he looked at the menu.

"I'll have a Hazelnut Signature Hot Chocolate if you wouldn't mind ma'am. Whilst I'm here what food do you serve?" Kramer asked.

"Well we serve a Vegan chocolate and raspberry cake." The server responded patiently.

"Well I'm not one of these hippy liberal types so I don't think that will appeal to me." Kramer responded looking over the counter.

"Well Ok then. In which case we do have a Chocolate Chunk shortbread if that suits you better?" The girl asks

"I think that will." Kramer responds smiling.

After paying for his purchase Kramer goes to a empty table and begins to drink looking out the corner of his eye just in case someone recognises him.

"This tastes actually quite nice. No wonder the line was so big." Kramer thought to himself as he downed the drink and dipped the shortbread in the remnants before eating it.

Looking at the exit Kramer thought to himself. "Right. Now I just need to avoid all these Jesus hair hippy liberals."

Eventually after slowly wheeling himself to the exit without being noticed Kramer pushes the door open and wheels back to his car.

Pearlington, Missisisppi

Williams sat quietly at the pews in a hot and humid Friday evening, his suit was clinging to his skin, but he did not care. He had experienced far worse during his years in Vietnam. Sitting by himself, he could not help, but think of all his friends that he lost during his time in Nam, they were like family to him... and he will forever be wracked with guilt and anguish of the fact that he could not save them. Perhaps if his trigger finger pulled faster that day he could have shot that Viet Cong soldier through the eyes before he got a shot on Paul. Maybe if he was more careful he could have spotted the mine before James stepped on it. Would it have been possible for him to have stabbed that NVA soldier in the gut to have saved Leslie's life? Of course, he could have. The deaths of all of his comrades in Vietnam were his fault, it was his fault that his trigger finger was on point, and Paul took one between the eyes. It was his fault that he let his eyes wander from the ground, if they did not he would have spotted that mine easily. It was also his fault that he hesitated to kill that female Viet Cong guerilla after she burst out of the brush carrying a rifle, and shooting Leslie several times at point-blank range... Poor sod was dead before he hit the ground.

It was his fault, all his fault...

The loss of his family in Nam was all his fault. If only... If only... If only... those of questions would plague him, until the day he dies. He could not get out of his perpetual state of guilt, as after all the death of his friends was his fault. He should have been the one to take all of those bullets, not them.

'Nam changes a man, after all he went from a happy go lucky baby-faced officer straight out of West Point to a grizzled veteran who had to take 3 injections of heroin just to get through the day without reliving the painful memories of loss that still to this day plague him in his dreams. It was the Church that saved him from that point, and from there on forth the Church became his new family. Now his family was being threatened by Yankee tyrants who wish to impose sodomy on the religious folk of Mississippi. His family would be destroyed by the hedonistic wishes of the Yankee elite, and their attempted erosions of Christian Values. Unlike his time in 'Nam he was not going to hesitate, he was going to fight them tooth and nail until sodomy was finally cast out of Mississippi one and for all.

He could not lose another family... Not again.

As Williams was lost in his thoughts a door opened behind him, and the Governor turned his body to see who the newcomer was. The new arrival appeared haggered and looked as if he did not shower in weeks, the smell of whisky and other unspeakable substances were strong on him. Williams recognized the man as Jim Douglas a regular churchgoer that disappeared in recent days, Governor nonetheless greeted the man.

"Howdy there, what brings you this Church at this hour?"

The man evidently drunk blurted out. "My F*cking wife, left me for one of them Negro computer programmers in California. Took everything, the car, the kids, the money, the house which she later sold for money. I ama about to be kicked out of my motel, I cannot even afford food!"

"Here boy, you need this more than I do"

Williams pulled $500 dollars out of his large wallet and pressed it to the man's hand. The man looked down in confusion before realizing their rather large sum in his hand.

"Sir, thank you kindly, but I cannot take this much money. "

Williams was adamant, however.

"Boy, I am an old man, I have little to live for. I cannot take money with me to the Pearly Gates. It is just the Christian thing to do to help a member of the family out. Now run along now, pay your landlord with the money. I will pray for you here boy."

Whatever day it is, but yesterday


"Yes, I'm sure I'm capable. I've dea-"Secretary of Homeland Defense Eric Wojtalewicz sighed as he was interrupted by one of his secretaries, Jonn Ingram, once again. He pressed the phone against his ear, which was covered in sweat as a result of his stress.

Inaudible, muffled speaking from the phone

"I can handle this. I was abducted by militants in Afghanistan, I know what a interrogation is..."

This isn't a ISIS execution sir, we're not threatening to behead them if...

"I'll have a 'professional' by my side then, Jonn...Your stressed, my hair is grayer than my old man's beard, and there is civil unrest across the US."

Very...well, very well. sigh I'll inform security and those in charge of the suspects to set you up with a interrogation. Any suspect in particular?

"They're all equally important. The event concerning the majority whip and others was a chain reaction. We'll knock each suspect out and get to the bottom of this."

Wojtalewicz pulled his phone away from his ear and lifted his thumb onto the red button, ending the call. He put it in his pocket and looked out the window of his office, putting his hands on his head in a state of panic. "Dammit..."He whispered.

Whatever day it is, but today


The SecDHS had gotten breakfast from a popular cafe in D.C. before getting escorted back to the DHS' HQ. Once they arrived their Wojtalewicz was escorted to the room where the interrogation between the first suspect. Alongside him was former activist, journalist, CIA employee, and now domestic terrorism expert Valerie Mathieu. Out of the handful of terrorist attacks that had occurred since he was confirmed into his position this one, although not being the most deadliest or costliest, was one of the most complex. There was a string of suspects, like the Blacked Masked men and the raging protesters.

Eventually Eric had reached the chamber. He looked through the one way glass, and then turned to one of the guards. The door opened, Wojtalewicz took a deep breath, and the interrogation began.
"There's no point in feeling bad for the dead, but for the living who are still in pain."

Carteret, New Jersey

PAY YOUR TAXES AMAZON! Rally


The crowd was riled up. They had set-out camp outside of the largest Amazon fulfilment centre in New Jersey, waving their banners and signs. Several union leaders and community advocates gave small spiels, but surprisingly, Democratic Candidate for Democratic Primary in the race for Governor, Joh Stansky, arrived. It was unexpected, and was only planned to be a small, local rally. However state media attention arrived at the rally, and so did the crowds. Joh Stansky took to the stage, waving to the people in the audience, ready to hear him speak.

That's right. We allow Amazon to build on our soil, to employ our people, we allow them to drive trucks along our roads. As the name of the rally suggests, it's prime time that Amazon started to actually pay tax! It's prime time that they pay their fair share, and end the burden on our poor, working class and middle class. Why does Jeff Bezos, the richest man in America, not pay any tax on his business? Yet, many working class people are hunted down by the Tax Office if they simply forget. What we witness everyday in our state government, and federal, mind you, is corruption and tax dodging. New Jersey must take immediate steps to end this, and part of this step will occur in the gubernational election. I'm not here to proselytize to you today, but it is important to understand, there are no other candidates; bar myself; that has the guts nor the stance to crack-down on this tax evasion. If elected, I would call Jeff Bezos on the first day upon taking office, and I will demand as to why he is disregarding our state. No matter what he says, he'll be taxed. Amazon will be taxed. New Jersey will then be able to pay for the vital social programs to help the poor and needy. Most who even work for Amazon themselves.

That brings me to my second point. Amazon is getting away with treating their worker's like trash. Their pay and conditions closely resemble the slums in India. I'm sick of it, the worker's are sick of it. The richest man in America makes his worker's stand for 10-hours straight without a break. People are having to wear adult-sized diapers. Because we all know what he does if you sit down; he'll fire you. I bet you, Hotchkiss will do nothing. She hasn't done anything about this in the past. She, nor Schlang are concerned that those working for Amazon cannot afford to live. That isn't a living wage. That's where we'll take action. Jeff Bezos betta' be prepared, if you elect me New Jersey, he's going to be held accountable for everything. He won't be allowed to pay his worker's pocket money, he'll be forced to pay them a living wage. He'll be forced to introduce proper working conditions. Where are our leaders in helping the working people of New Jersey?

They're nowhere, again. It's time we re-elected our leaders so that real justice can be done.

The crowd roared in excitement.

"How old would that make you now?" He asks.

"Lovely." Saga says outside. She pulls out a card from somewhere somehow with a number on it and a slight smell of perfume.

"We'll be happy to have you on board."
