Yes, Madam Secretary?

Chapter 10

"How are we going to get him, I mean, we can't live up to their commands, obviously," Elizabeth said after a few hours of waiting in the oval office for more information. "And of course, we located him, but do we even know it's him? could be a deepfake, somebody who just looks like him," Elizabeth rambled on and on to Jay. "And also, that's just the location the video was sent from, by now he could've been moved!" Elizabeth continued. "Ma'am." "We're going to find him," Jay told her. "But what if he is not there? What if he's somewhere else?" "If we raid this compound they know we're serious." Suddenly there was a call on her phone. Elizabeth was needed in the situation room. Elizabeth and jay rushed over and entered the room, everybody stood.

"What is it?" Elizabeth asked them. "Somebody is trying to send another video file through the server." Said a man. "Well look at it," Elizabeth said. "Judging by the file, it looks safe, no viruses." The man said. "Alright, let's see." 

A video came on the big screen in front of them, it was a man, who had a black face covering on, only leaving room for his eyes. Conrad, was in the corner of the video with handcuffs on? 

"You have 48 hours to meet our demands." Said the man. "Your Military has killed our family, they have ruined our motherland!" the man shouted at the screen. "If you do not meet our demands, we will kill your president and your vice-president." Vice president Theresa Hurst was sitting next to the President." The video turned off and the screen was blank once again. Everybody stopped speaking for some time, until a man said, "The video was sent from the same I.P. address as last time. "Alright, Elizabeth said, clearly out of it." "Let's take a break, Elizabeth said slowly walked out of the room." 

She walked over to their temporary bedroom where her kids we're acting like normal. Her husband, Henry, simply sitting and reading the paper. "Hey kids, is it ok if I talk with your dad for a minute?" she asked. They all answered and left the room. Elizabeth sat down on the bed next to henry. "Henry, they have him.... and Theresa..." She slowly started crying. "They're going to kill him, if we don't do it in 48 hours. she said. "We need to tell Lydia." Elizabeth continued talking to henry before lying down.

To be continued.
