"Poverty." "Militarism." "Hopelessness." "Despair." Grim images flash across the screen in sync with the somber words. Pictures of mile long unemployment lines, hungry children, public executions and stacks of dead bodies piled on the side of a city block. The viewers tuning in would think that these images came from a war-torn city in a third world country like Kabul in Pakistan or San Salvador in El Salvador. The shot of the public execution was shown again, but this time it was zoomed out so the viewers could clearly see that the execution was taking place in front of the Lincoln Memorial. " These words go hand in hand when talking about Heather Thorne's American Empire. She surprised the world when during her first term as President. She was impeached from office and found guilty in a court of law for writing legislative that would give her ultimate power over all branches of government and eliminate the checks and balance system. Even though sentenced to serve life in prison, she ordered a group of specialized forces under the command of future Grand General of The Empire Lewis "Chef" Hatchet to carry out her master plot. Hatchet's troops carried out the order without question. The troops marched into Congress and brutally murdered all the Senator's and all the member's of the House of Representatives. The troops ignored the Supreme Court and instead marched down to the White House and found Heather's former Vice President Noah Tennenbaum trying to flee. Noah wasn't in on the plot at the time and his only acts as President were pardoning Heather who only served 16 days of her life sentence, declaring her Absolute Matriarch of America and promptly resigning from office. Even though there are still seeds of aggression in newly annexed Canada and Mexico, most of the general population in the American Empire is content with being ruled by Heather." A video clip showing massive chanting and cheering in the streets of New York, Boston, Detroit, Chicago, and other major United States cites the day Heather took her position of power in Washington. The video clip ends and the focus returns to the journalist. With a sad, wistful tone " When the nations of the world won the war on terror, the United States proved to the world that even in a place with as much ethnic and national hatreds as the Middle East, democracy would carry on. But when Heather was sworn in as the Absolute Matriarch of America surrounded by millions of cheering people, the United States proved that democracy could die in a matter of seconds." Tears formed in the journalist's eyes. He barley managed to say " This is Tad Ward signing off. God bless the free world."
FBI Headquaters, Washington DC
Justin Colby's private office in the Bureau looked like it was brand new, but don't let appearances deceive you another person once occupied this room. Justin would have rather been in his huge manison in California instead of sitting her waiting for an assignment, but service to Heather meant sacrificing a few perks, but gaining a few more and one of these perks was walking into the room right now. In came his personal secretary Lindsay carrying his morning coffee. He wanted her so bad, he strained his body from not taking her right now. "Good Morning Mr. J" Lindsay says with a smile on her face. She called him Mr. J because she couldn't remember his full name. "Good Morning" he says back, but Justin wasn't smiling because he just remembered that he had a meeting with Heather latter this morning and he was a little worried because the last person who was director of the FBI was relocated to be warden of a work camp in Canada because they had fallen out of Heather's favor. Lindsay wondered why Justin never smiled, but her wondering caused the coffee she was pouring into Justin's cup was to pour onto Justin's pants. He screamed out in pain as the coffee filtered through his left pant leg and burned his well built leg. Before Lindsay could mutter an apologize her boss slaps her across the face sending her and the coffee pot sprawling to the floor. " Damn it woman! Why do you have to be so incredibly stupid? " he screamed. Lindsay was now whimpering on the floor. " Now clean this fucking mess up" he yells as he sees coffee spilling from the broken pot onto the floor. He take a new pair of pants out of the closet and puts them on. To add insult to injury he throws his stained pants at Lindsay and declares " These pants cost me one hundred dollars, so that one hundred dollars that I am taking out of your pay check." Tears were forming in Lindsay's eyes now, but she held the tears back. Justin smiles evilly as he walked out of the door, he loved inspiring fear into his fellow man. " Don't let this happen again or I will make sure you are sent to the work camps" he says as he slams the door behind him. He notice a nerdy man staring at him as he was storming down the hallway. Justin stops and stares back at him and sneers " What are you looking at Code Monkey". The nerdy looking man replies " Nothing much....Sir" and salutes at Justin. Justin was about to give this nerd a proper beating, when he remembers he has a meeting to attend. He glances at the nerd again, but continues to storm down the hallway. When Justin was out of sight the nerd walks down the hallway to Justin's office. On the way there he passes the photos of the top ten most wanted criminals and stares at number one. He pondered on how a person with such a massive and hulking figure could evade the best troops North America had to offer. He shrugs as he goes to see if Lindsay was all right. On the car ride to the White House the way that nerd stood up to him was burning him up. He swore if he ever saw that geek again he would personally pound his face in. His venting was interrupted by opening of his door by his driver. Justin steps out of the agency supplied car and walks thorugh the gate of the White House to go see his boss Heather Queen of America.
Author's note: Chapter One is all done. It was fun writing a real story instead of another song fic. =) Chapter Two is on it's way. I bet you are wondering who was the former director of the FBI. Just I hint it was somebody that was on Tdi before. You can leave a guess or a general review of my work so far in a comment. I love creative critism so if you have any to give to me it will be apprecited....oh btw I do not own TDI or any of the Characters. Also I don't own BBC. I am just a humble fan fic. writer. I do own Tad Ward though he isn't a real jourlist for the BBC or a real person .... so yeah.
