―Nikki, follow me, emergency!, Vaughan yelled as he passed Nikki's office without stopping.
|
||||
She sighed, and jogged to catch up with him.
|
||||
―What's up?
|
||||
―Meadowlark protesters, they're threatening to burn down some of the Barns. We need Calvin to make a decision on it.
|
||||
Nikki groaned.
|
||||
―Goddamn religious fanatics.
|
||||
|
||||
Adam was going through some files, and protested as Nikki walked by his desk and made for Calvin's door.
|
||||
―What's up?
|
||||
|
||||
―Meadowlark protesters over by the Barns, looks like it's gonna get violent. We need Calvin to do something about it.
|
||||
|
||||
Nikki groaned.
|
||||
|
||||
―Goddamn religious fanatics, she murmured under her breath.
|
||||
|
||||
He nodded.
|
||||
|
||||
Adam was going through some files, and protested as Nikki and Vaughan walked by his desk and made for Calvin's door.
|
||||
|
||||
―He's busy, Nikki. He said to keep everyone out.
|
||||
|
||||
Nikki stopped, and gave Adam a firm glare until he dropped eye contact and retreated to his busy work, leaving Nikki and Vaughan to walk into Calvin's office.
|
||||
|
||||
Calvin started when they walked in, and set down the book he had been reading.
|
||||
―There's a protest by the
|
||||
|
||||
― I thought I'd asked Adam to minimise interruptions, Calvin said.
|
||||
|
||||
He sighed after a moment and gestured for them to sit down.
|
||||
|
||||
―Sorry for the interruption Calvin, Vaughan said, it's the Meadowlarkers protesting by the East Side.
|
||||
They're lining up with torches, and there are some refugees making a counter demonstration.
|
||||
It's looking like it could get violent.
|
||||
|
||||
―Where's the City Guard? Nikki asked. This seems like a local issue, not something that needs the President.
|
||||
|
||||
Vaughan hesitated, in what Nikki thought was a particularly despondent way.
|
||||
|
||||
―There's some guards there, but they've basically stepped aside.
|
||||
I think the protesters have avoided doing anything too drastic while they're there, but half the City Guard is part of the Meadowlark flocks.
|
||||
|
||||
―For fuck's sake! Nikki yelled. You didn't think to lead with that?
|
||||
|
||||
Nikki opened her mouth to continue to yell at Vaughan, but Calvin raised a hand and she stopped and tooko a deep breath.
|
||||
|
||||
―Sorry Vaughan, she forced herself to say.
|
||||
|
||||
He nodded in acceptance.
|
||||
|
||||
―We need to send in the Presidential Guard to clear the protest, as soon as possible. Show that we're serious about protecting the Barns.
|
||||
|
||||
Nikki groaned again.
|
||||
|
||||
―Absolutely not!
