Chapter 3: It's your Birthday!
The admiral's phone rang, and he reached over, picking it up and holding it his ear without once looking up from his reports.
"Tommy! It's Murielle here, got a package here for you"
The pen dropped from Thompson's other hand, and he looked up from his reports with a start.
"Murielle, didn't expect to hear from you for a while"
"Neither did I, but life hits you that way sometimes, anyway did you hear about Mr strong-and-silent here's brother?"
"No, I didn't, why did something happen?" the admiral was cautious, he knew something had just happened.
"The law just got some strong evidence against him, he might just get the chair"
The Chair?! Thompson coughed and spluttered, but quickly got himself back under control. If she was right, this was perfect, no illegal orders, no possible international incident, and he would still be out of the way, perfect.
5 Days Later Washington DC
The reporter was not happy; who did he think he was kidding? All the reporters knew about Kinsley, and were trying desperately to prove it, but anytime someone got evidence, they or the evidence 'disappeared'. It was annoying. Her reporter's instinct chose then to tap her on the shoulder, and she turned, looking straight at a number of government sedans that barrelled around the corner and headed straight for the podium where Kinsley was making another boring speech. She tapped the arm of her cameraman, and pointed the cars to him, and he began to record their movements, he too sensed there was an incident about to happen.
The Government sedans stopped, and a large numbers of agents poured out, heading for Kinsley, their jackets proclaiming them to be Secret Service. Their Guns were out, and they did not look happy. Neither did Senator Kinsley, those guns were pointing at him.
"And just what is the meaning of this?"
The lead agent strode straight up to Kinsley, "Senator Kinsley, you are under arrest"
Kinsley was not amused; he knew the current president didn't like him but arranging false charges? He had him now, this he could use against the president. He never even considered that whatever e9vidence they had against him wasn't false.
The reporters recorded it all, live on national television.
SGC
"Hammond to the Control Room! Hammond to the Control Room!" the jubilant voice echoed through the SGC's corridors. Within moments, SG-1 and Hammond had arrived at the control room, none of them knowing quite what to expect.
"Sir, a report just came in that Kinsley's been arrested"
O'Neill was a happy man and didn't care who knew it, he let out a whoop of joy, Carter and Daniel stood their Gob-smacked, and even Teal'c smiled.
"What are the charges, son?"
"Doesn't say, but the report does say it's a death-row offence"
