[QUOTE="talien, post: 4132415, member: 3285"] [b]Puppet Shows and Shadow Plays: Part 9a – Political Aspirations[/b] By the time the team’s van arrived at the Bel Age Hotel, there were police, press, politicians, and confused bystanders everywhere. Jim-Bean’s stolen police cruiser was there too. Hammer flashed his badge at the nearest police officer. “What happened?” “Crazy stuff, man. Willis went nuts. Tried to kill the Senator.” The team exchanged worried looks. “Damn…” “That’s not the weirdest part. Good old Holt took him out single-handedly.” The cop snorted. “You couldn’t ask for a better nomination than that.” Two coroners pushed a body bag by on a gurney. Archive stopped it long enough to peer inside. “Missing teeth.” Archive waved the coroners on. A reporter set up camp in front of them, beaming spotlights and cameras in their direction. A pretty young brunette in a business suit held a microphone before her and addressed the cop. “You were a witness to the events that took place today. Can you comment?” The cop grinned. “Senator Holt’s a tough old bastard. I know he served in World War II. After all that’s happened, he’s still going ahead with his presidential nomination anyway. Hell, after what I seen today, I’ll vote for him!” Hammer swore. “It’s in the Senator.” He turned around to face his two remaining comrades. “All right, we need a distraction. Archive, you’re with me. Jim-Bean…get these people out of here.” Jim-Bean grinned. “I think I know how to do that.” The other two agents took off into the conference area. Jim-Bean ushered the police officer away from the camera, but still clearly within earshot. “Can I speak with you for a moment?” The cop nodded. “What’s up?” “We have reason to believe,” Jim-Bean whispered loudly, “that Willis was part of a terrorist cell. His assault was just a distraction.” The cop watched, intently. Suddenly, the newswoman, who was pretending not to listen, stopped speaking and turned to face both of them. “I think there’s a bomb in the building,” said Jim-Bean, careful to not look at the camera. “You heard it here first!” said the news reporter. “We have reports of an alleged bomb in the building.” “We have to clear everyone out of here.” The cop went white. Before the cop could start calling for an evacuation, there was a shout across the street. People streamed out of the pubs and bars. The viewers on the outside of the building had gotten the news before the attendees on the inside did. His task complete, Jim-Bean strolled into the building, whistling to himself as screaming attendees ran for their lives towards the exits. [/QUOTE]
