"Alright, is everyone okay?" The Speaker of the House, the previous Senator of Texas, Alex Cory, asked as the door was sealed shut off from the rest of the world. All cabinet members were rushed to the next safest place other than the White House Bunker. The control center surrounding them controlled every aspect of what was in the White House. All members and their security agents were trying to assess the situation and figure out what was going on. Alex was cautious to take the seat at the head of the table, knowing it was reserved for one of the two who did not make their sudden attendance. "Look, we need to remain calm. We are safe in another building. With that said, the two most powerful leaders in our country are missing. Has anyone heard from them?"
The table was suddenly quiet, turning solemn quickly. Most of them just shook their heads, others clasped their hands together as if in prayer. Alex laid his palms flat on the table, supporting most of his weight on them. "The President and the Vice President are probably still in the White House. Did they make it to the bunker?" He asked no one in particular. The people surrounding them, monitoring the actions inside the White House, looked to one person who shook his head. "Well, that fucking sucks." He ran a hand down his face and looked at the seal that had been slapped onto the table years before. "Both the President and Vice President have marine training. They prepared for anything like this, and they know how to protect themselves. Has their been anything else that has been activated?"
The man hurrying around as if his head was missing suddenly seemed to know everything. "No, many of our systems are down though. All the gunfire did major damage to some of our equipment in there."
"So, it's an unsure no." Alex quipped before looking around the table. "We need to know that those two are okay. Find a camera, a speaker, even something as small as a bug. Hack it. Force your way through. Those terrorists won't be the only ones attacking the white house today. I don't care what we have to do as long as we can get a hold of Elliot or Olivia. They won't be acting as the President and Vice President through this. They'll act as husband and wife; they'll act as marines."
Olivia pulled on the black boots before looking up to see Elliot strapping numerous weapons to his body, the Velcro echoing in the cave-like room. She grabbed some of the grenades left on their hooks and put them on her belt, securing them before walking over to Elliot. He watched as she slowly stepped in front of him, running her hands up his stomach and to his chest. "Whatever happens today, I need you to get out alive, even if that means leaving me behind." She stated calmly.
Elliot's eyes widened the slightest before his large hands grabbed his waist, pulling her closer to him. "I will not leave you behind. Do you understand me. There is not a chance in this world that I would ever let you stay behind while I prance off to safety."
"Elliot, you and I both know that these people are here for me." Olivia argued. "If they get me, I need you to get out and get help. This country can't lose both their President and Vice President."
"And, I can't lose my wife. I don't give a damn about what this country needs if it means I have to walk out of the White House without my wife and leave her with gun yielding maniacs." Elliot said trying to drill it into her skull. "We may have both taken an oath to do whatever is best for our country's interest, but I made a vow to keep you safe long before I had even considered a job where I would have to take an oath like that. As much as we try to deny it, Olivia, you come first to me. That's how it will always be."
Olivia closed her eyes as a tear rolled down her cheek. This was killing her. He came first to her too. That's why she wanted him to go. She could give up her life if it meant saving his. "I don't want you to die because of me."
Elliot wiped away her tear with his thumb, making her open her eyes to look up at him. "If I die today, it won't be because of you. You know as well as I do, I don't take orders from others too well, with the exception of you." Olivia smiled at his hint from both their professional and personal lives. "Now, let's go kick some ass and save our house from further destruction."
Olivia chuckled before taking her gun from her belt. "Alright, Stabler, let's go do this." She took a step in front of him to move towards the entrance back into the White House walls when Elliot grabbed her arm and spun her back to face him before kissing her, cupping the back of her neck in his hand. "What was that for?"
"I just love you." Elliot whispered staring down into her brown eyes. "But, you do remember it's your obligation to leave if you have the opportunity. If I get trapped, stuck, or shot. You need to get out."
"If you're not going to safety, I'm not." Olivia said cocking her gun. "I will not lose you today. I told you I would never leave you behind. I meant that." She hooked her finger into the silver chain around his neck, pulling out the familiar silver dog tags that she wore under her clothing. "I met you here," she stated tapping her fingernail on the small silver tag, "that's where my heart lies with you, not in this house."
Frank's body was kicked to the side as the men dressed to attend a meeting rather than attack the white house carried the other bodies out from the other room. Their leader stood with his hands at his sides, surveying the area for any sign of life. "Where are they?" He barked.
"They went up. They used the dumb weighter here." One of his men said before shedding his jacket and carrying in large black duffle bags from the next room. "We need to move if we're going to find them."
"Who is running the operation here?" The leader said with a dark smirk gracing his lips. He shed his own jacket, quickly loosening his tie. "I thought we would be able to leave here quietly. I didn't think we'd blow up half of the white house and have a dozen bodies already piling up."
The other men started to undress quickly, pulling on the other clothes they brought. "How do you think we'll get them out of here now? There's bound to be military coming, and they will be stocked up with rounds."
The leader pulled his shirt over his head and fastened his watch onto his wrist. "Well, I only want the President. We'll figure it out."
Please review! Love you guys! The Congressman is very happy to have made an appearance this chapter!
