Chapter 57
.
On Tuesday July 5th Eve tried to sleep late, but her roommates had the television on, hoping for news about president Mason's condition. Her shift wasn't until 4pm. Eve was glad that the dishonorable traitor was already dead. The internet was already buzzing with conspiracy theories. They questioned how he knew which of the seven limos the president was in. Pierce knew secret service procedure, but he'd been fired before this day. Some speculated he had been given a tip, some said by vice-president Allen, others believed it was by Freddy Douglas, chairman of the joint chiefs of staff, or apparently by his own dughter Mimi. Eve figured these people were not in touch with reality. Eve eventually showed up for her shift a bit early. It felt good to be doing something useful. She kept thinking about the president. It wasn't suprising that she didn't see Zoey again. If she was even still at this Ark site secret service were keeping her isolated. There was still some food out from the barbeque, but no festive music anymore. The film crew was still taking footage from around this site. Eve barely noticed as she tried to re-adjust, working shifts, relaxing on rare days off. Eve felt somewhat guilty watching movies, playing videogames, over the next week. As if she shouldn't have any real fun while her president was fighting for his life. But she had to learn how to adjust, and keep on building. It's what Mason would've wanted.
