CIVIL WAR II

Attack

"You look like President Holland." She said. "That's because I am." He responded "Why are you here?" Tabitha asked confused. "Because I'm bringing supplies to each Northern base. Then I saw you and I figured before I go I could make someone feel better." "Oh. Well thank you." "No problem, now I really must be going back to the White house. I finished my deliveries and I have a very important meeting." He said. "Okay, well it was an honor to meet you." She replied. Then he went through the door and took a path all the way to Washington D.C. 

It had been 8 days since Tabitha has been at the East Northern Base. She had been watching the television constantly looking for Ben. And then the cameras on the war ground cut out and went to a news reporter in New York City. There was nobody there except the reporter and the camera man. The reporter was shaking constantly turning around to check his surroundings. "Good Evening ladies and Gentleman of the North and South bases. I come to you live from East Manhattan bringing you depressing news.  This afternoon at 4:27 p.m. tragedy struck. Three Middle Eastern men found their way into the White House and shot President Holland and his wife. Their 15 year old son Matthew is by their sides at a hospital which I can not reveal. I will now play the tape........(Tape plays) If any of you see any of these men please contact the police. And do not worry. The French are on their way to help us fight. Yes that's right folks.....FIGHT. We need to put aside our differences and work together to stop these men and prevent future terrorist attacks related to these men. North and Southerners, We beg of you as our President and his wife fight for their lives, to please work together. Thank you." The tv goes back to the battlegrounds as everyone is silent and still. A man that looks like Ben finds his way to the border where the South is lined up and drops his weapon. It looks like he is having a conversation with the Southern leader. The Southern leader nods and commands all his troops to drop their weapons. They obey immediately. Then Ben nods to his side and they all drop their weapons. The Southerners make their way towards the Northerners and they shake hands. Then Ben looks into one of the cameras and says "To all of out there hiding.  My name is Ben Longwood and we have decided to put our feud on hold right now and join forces. Everyone meet at the Central base. Your leaders will lead you there. Bring any supplies and weapons you have and we will ration them out. "

Tabitha then knew it was her husband Ben who had made sudden temporary peace. "Attention." A man called. Tabitha suddenly turned her attention away from the television. "I am your leader Nick. You will do as I say if you want to live. There are terrorists nearby and you must stay in line. We will be heading to the Central base to create a strategy to defeat this terrorism. We need everyone to fight. Everyone to participate. And to those who don't......They die. Now get up and grab your things that are only needed for survival and follow me into the bathroom single file please." Tabitha got up first as Nick made his way to the bathroom. She stood outside the bathroom watching Nick try to move the bathroom counter. When he pushed it to the side a  large hole was revealed. "How many secret passages are there?" Tabitha wondered.  "One at a time we will crawl through and keep going until you reach the orange flag. That is our checkpoint for today. Then we will wait there. Young lady you will be the line leader. Please be sure to stop at the flag and good luck." Nick said. He gestured towards the hole. Tabitha walked through.  Every two minutes Nick let a new person through. Finally after eight hours Tabitha reached the orange flag, and 3 minutes later, the next person reached it. This continued for about five hours before everyone reached the flag. Tabitha slid down against the wall and put her head in her hands. And fell asleep.
