A gunfight had ensued between the secret service and the men that had crashed into the ambulance. The secret service had gotten out of their cars and had surrounded the ambulance.
The driver had been killed but the nurse was still alive.
An agent managed to get in and get her to another car where Palmer had been taken.
"You have to save him." He ordered.
The nurse looked nervously at the agent. "I'll do what I can but by the look of things he needs a doctor and fast."
"One's on the way" He replied.
The nurse lifted Palmer's shirt to reveal a deep cut caused by the crash. Blood gushed out.
"He's lost a lot of blood already, there's a very small chance he'll make it."
The agents were getting killed fast and the attackers were moving in.
The agent beeped in and another 2 agents came over. "We need to get him to a building and fast. We're to open here."
They nodded and carried him to a nearby shop. They smashed down they down and entered, closely followed by another 5 agents and the nurse.
"Sir, what about Pierce?" an agent asked.
The commander of the team, Colin Barracks, bowed his head.
"The President is our first priority. Arran knew that."
"But sir we can't leave him there, they'll move and kill him."
Barracks turned to the agent and shouted. "Then he's already dead. Now do your job and protect the president."
The agent turned to join the other's outside.
Another agent ran in. "Commander, L.A.P.D has just arrived."
"Good, send the Captain in."
The agent ran and then returned a minute later with a woman with short curly hair.
"Who's in charge here?" She asked.
"I am, Commander Barracks."
"I'm Captain Grace Parks, what's the status of the President?"
"He's not doing well. A doctor is on their way but we don't know if they'll make it in time."
Grace shook her head. "Ah dammit. Can't we move him to a hospital?"
"We could try but it's more likely that would end up in another crash. The F.B.I contacted us and gave us info that there were quite a lot of cars around the area meaning it's more than likely that there are more terrorists out there."
Grace was confused. "How is the doctor going to get here then? Won't they just stop their car?"
" The doctor is getting brought in by helicopter so all we can hope for is that they don't have a rocket launcher"
"Mr Barrack's we're losing him" The nurse shouted over to him.
Barrack's turned and the room went silent.
"God have mercy"

"Tony just called in. He's on his way with Chase and Michelle and they've got someone who was part of the attack on Palmer."
Chapelle looked up from his computer as Chloe came in and gave him the news.
"At last we've finally got something." He said and stood up. "How long are they going be?"
"Tony said about another 30 minutes. Any news from Jack yet?"
"No, his plane should be arriving soon though. Go and make sure the interrogation room is ready for when they get here. We need all the information we can get."

"Mr Keeler, it's your wife" His assistant Mary told John Keeler as he sat at his desk scribbling down notes to tell the nation.
"Thank you Mary, send her in."
Catherine Keeler stepped in, the bags under her eyes mixing with the colour of her dress.
"John, it's 20 to 4, you need sleep if you're going to address nation tomorrow."
"Catherine I will address the nation tonight if need be. America needs to know the state of their president."
Catherine sighed. "John, you are the president now. Palmer is in critical condition and he could be dead by now. You are going to have to face up to what you've worked so hard for."
John stood up. "Don't you have any respect. David Palmer is our president and even if he is dying, he will always be the president that had complete control over the most difficult situations. I am following in his footsteps and until the moment he takes his last breath, I will be standing next to him calling him President David Palmer."
Keeler stared coldly into Catherine's eyes and Catherine got the message.
"Fine John, but remember how much we've been through to get this far. If you throw all that away you will regret it."
"I'm not throwing anything away. I just do not want to be called President until David Palmer resigns which he will as today is not the day he dies."
Catherine turned and left the room leaving Keeler to finish his 2 speeches.
One about Palmer's condition and the other, his Palmer's dead speech.
He knew which one he wanted to read out and only hoped nothing stopped that from happening.
