He looked at Blake and shook his head. “The President is dead.”
“God damn it,” Agent Stoly said angrily. “What are we going to do?”
There was silence for a moment as Blake considered what Grace had been willing to do. Finally he spoke. “Get the Vice President on the horn. He has a country to lead. Do you have a problem with that?”
Stoly scanned the faces around him. There was a whispering sound as his .38 Special slid back into its holster. “No, Major,” he said. “I don’t have a problem with that.”
Blake turned toward Hale. “As you were, Lieutenant. The stinks may take this planet,” he said grimly, “but we sure as hell aren’t going to give it to them.”
Hale bent over to retrieve his carbine. It was, the Sentinel decided, the one thing he could count on.
