Assassanation Attempt on Andrew Cuomo (Brogan)

Assassanation Attempt
in mid 2029, tensions with North Korea, and China rose. The stakes were higher this time, with South Korea constructing a atom bomb, similar to the U.S. dropped on Japan in 1945. To descalate the tensions, Charlie Crist traveled with his Secretary of State, Eliiot Engel to China to settle a peace agreement and lower the tarrifs between the 2 countries. XI Jinping agreed to meet with Crist and Engel and invited them to dinner as soon as they landed. Before attending the dinner XI Jinping sent a transmission to Chinese Agents stationed in Washington D.C. to "带个of子" "Take the son of a bitch out". As they all sat down to dinner they engaged in small talk, and as a chinese tradition, XI Jinping asked Crist and Engel to place their cell phone and other electronics in a basket in the middle of the table. The only devices in the room were the com links in the SS Agents ears. SS began to press on their ear trying to understand a call for help from Cuomo's SS Agents. Cuomo had been shot. Secret Service took this threat as seriously as any, and rushed Crist and Engel out of the palace and into a safe house. Awaiting them was the CIA Opratives stationed in China, hundreds of SS Agents, and the president's staff. Also awaiting them was a projecter, transmissioned to the situation room with PPT Shelby, and Speaker Debbie Shultz and all of the Joint Cheifs Staff. "TEN HUT" A millitary general yelled while saluting and standing up for the president. "As you were" said a shakenly President Crist as he sat down listening to the details they have recieved so far. "Mr. President, The Vice President had been atending a confrence in Richmond, Virginia and was shot in the patella while walking out to his motercade. He was then transported to Richmond General. The lone gunman was apprehended and taken into custody." said Chairman McConville. A sigh of relief washed through everyone. "Vice President Cuomo is unable to serve and you are out of the country Mr. President." said Chairman of The Navy Gilday, "Speaker Shultz will assume duties untill you return from China" "Thank you Chairman, and Good luck Debbie." Crist said as disconnected.
