Action, Reaction and Consequences Ch. 09

The surgeon looked down at the figure laying prone before him. He didn't hold out much hope but, he pressed on, determined to do all he could, though the odds were stacked against him. He knew the young man had been caught in an explosion and a building collapsed around him. He had been found under debris with a wooden beam across his chest. A lung had collapsed and most of his ribs were broken. His leg was broken and he wasn't sure they could save it. Somehow, he'd lost his mask in whatever had happened and had a large contusion to his head. His skull had a nasty depression fracture which looked bad enough to have possibly done some brain damage.

That same morning , Mr. Smith sat eating his light breakfast at home watching the news as the story unfolded about a possible gas leak. Noting where this was and looking at the carnage on the TV, he started to think this may not be a simple accident. Within a few minutes he had logged in through his Government portal to see what the status was.

"Jones, I don't care where you are but, I want you in the offices this morning. I think we need a long overdue chat about where our relationship will be going."

He hadn't answered his phone when he called Mr. Jones but, he also knew he would materialise at some point today. He sat adjusting his plans, looking at the pluses and minuses at keeping the current two pieces in play a little longer, before they opted for operation'Doomsday.' It was currently in the planning stages and had sent jitters through the handful of people involved. It may be the only way to put this open sore of the country's, to bed.
