                                                        Inside Threats
            
                     Snow is coming down hard outside. Schools are canceled and most people do not go to work. My husband however, must given he works at CTU. Today there is apparently an emergency at his work. He decides to take a quick shower before heading off and I try to fall back asleep. All of the sudden I hear his voice over the shower. He is having a conversation obviously on the phone. I try to ignore it but I can't help but listen. I sit up and stare at the bathroom  door as I listen. "Yes," he says in a grim tone. "They were working inside the White House." he pauses. I am more interested now. "Where is the President?" I hear a bang on the wall. He is obviously frustrated. "Protect the President these terrorists are inside the White House disguised with a bomb." The door suddenly opens and he runs out frantically, fully dressed. The shower is still on. I sit on the bed shocked. What is happening? Terrorists inside the white house? I try to call my husband numerous times within an hour. No answer. I become more and more fearful. The news reports five deaths in the White House. The terrorists have revealed themselves. I wait all day, helpless. Where is my husband? Is he okay? Where is the President? All day I watch the news as they instruct people to stay inside. This is Washington, D.C. after all; the place of these disheartening events. More deaths are reported. I keep trying to call my husband with no answer as my reply each time. The Marine Core is on site unable to find the bomb. After hours they finally find the final members of the terrorist group inside the White House. They will not give away the location of the bomb.
                      
                                                      THE NEXT DAY

                    The bomb went off inside the Presidential Bunker at exactly 12:00 p.m.  There was one member of the terrorist group disguised. He was head of the secret service. He died along with everyone else in the bunker. The President included. The Vice President was sworn in last night on his plane flying home from England. My husband never returned home. I sit shocked with fear and sadness. How could this happen? What is the fate our country?
