Return to Carbon Creek

Part 76(Chaos contained) PG

Peter Jenkins like many of the reporters was stunned. He had witnessed the events but had he not been there….

Walter Knight followed the Grayson's out. This was no doubt about it the story of the year or of a lifetime. Who would believe that a United States Senator ordering a triple murder on live national television before an audience of millions of American television viewers? He was here and his cameramen Ned Sakes had it on tape and he was still in shock. However Walter Knight knew that the public would need assurance that a coup was not indeed happening. So he straightened his tie and looked over at Peter. "Care to help me try to calm the public?"

Peter laughed and said "Who is going to help calm me down. I still do not believe what I just saw. You handle Television and I am going to attempt to write this down. Walter when did we let that committee get so out of control?"

"A while ago I am afraid. Now all we can do is damage control." Walter thought of the hundreds of lives that had forever been ruined by the witch hunts of the committee. He vowed he would personally help any of the people he could.

Walter Knight stepped out in front of the camera and tried to look calm

Peter smiled and knew in a few minutes the public would be assured. Uncle Wally would let them know all was well in their world. That the mad man had been dethroned by a simple academic who refused to be a pawn for one man's political advancement and power a man who was unafraid to stand for principle. He moved off eager to follow the Grayson's he still had more questions. How had the professor known about the killer and how was it that he had green pointy ears? Peter wanted to know what was going on because clearly there was a lot more to this story then what he knew and he was willing to bet he was better informed them most. He would leave the calming of America to Uncle Wally he was on the trail of an even bigger story. He grinned wondering if perhaps he might be better not to ask the questions. Then he laughed the curiosity would drive him mad he had to have his answers. He mentally composed his column even as he got into a cab to follow the Grayson's.

Mestral carried Maggie to the White House. It was the closest secure location he could think of. It had just occurred to him that they might have a problem. His near disaster with the reporters reminded him of something. He had pointed ears. The odds were great that so then would his son. He could not allow anyone who was not aware of their situation to see the baby before they were certain. He just hoped that Brother Jung had arrived as planned or he might have to bring the child into the world himself. Maggie cried out and her hand was crushing his. He could feel her agony and did what he could to soothe her.

"Breath Maggie deeply and try to relax."

David foot went down hard on the gas peddle as the cry rang out.

"Hold on Maggie you do not want the child from the stars born in a Taxi."

Maggie looked at him and he blushed at the un-lady like curses that came out of her mouth. Mestral said nothing deciding the cause was sufficient.
