"Leader, something's wrong, something's happened."
Fern Lewis's words.
Made Rasco Shaw and Barry Ford tense.
"What happened?"
Rasco Shaw steadied his mind and asked.
Fern Lewis swallowed and said, "Just now, Ronan City's Party Secretary Keaton Ross declared a city-wide emergency state, all districts and counties ordered full silence. I got word that the municipal police department also received orders."
"What?"
Barry Ford stood up incredulously.
Just as the words fell.
Sirens blared from the road at the State Committee Compound entrance.
Looking out the window, plenty of police cars reached the intersection.
Numerous fully armed officers began sealing off the surroundings.
"Secretary Shaw, Secretary Shaw, it's an emergency..."
Another panicked voice sounded.
This time, it was the state's military district commander Kevin Vance rushing in.
A long-time confidant in Rasco Shaw's pocket.
"What now?"
Barry Ford asked.
