[center][h3]Ivy[/h3][/center] [hr] Towards the end of the press conference, Ivy was getting ready to make her good-byes. A reporter called out, "Governor Ivy, Are you planning to run for president?" Ivy blushed a genuine blush. "I do declare," she said then paused for effect. "The thought hasn't even crossed my mind. I've only been Governor for a short period of time and right now, my focus is on keeping the good people of Georgia safe. That is why we need to pass the Registration Law" she paused as one of the State troopers approached her turn his back to the crowd and whispered something to her. Ivy went a pale. She turned and talked with a couple other officials on the stage. Then she was rushed off the stage. Reporters shouted questions trying to figure out what was happening. In the Limo, Ivy flipped on the television set to watch the film crew live casting the death and destruction. She started to tear up. She knew those news crews. Those police officers were under her command. As she went into the situation room at the Capital and sat at the head of the table. They needed to upgrade the technology being used in this room, she thought. The news station had better camera feeds and connections to the world. She could be connected anywhere in the world there with a green screen and a video camera. Getting a briefing of what was known and what was happening, she picked up the phone and conference called the leadership of the legislature. "Another hundred dead within weeks, and no action. If something isn't done quickly, I will declare a state of emergency and use executive orders. I expect to see something on my desk before sunrise," she said hanging up the phone. When the Secretary announced to her that the President was on the line, she pointed at her press secretary to video the call. When the camera was going she picked up the phone. "Good Afternoon, Mr. President," she said looking serious. "Ivy, I hear you are having trouble down there. I saw it on television. Oh the carnage and meaningless loss of life. I've got the best people working on this. Smart people. I want you to know we are going to make resources available to you..." the president said, "Anything you need just ask." "Thank you, Mr. President. The people of Georgia appreciate that. We really need to get a registry going so we can know," Ivy said being cut off. "My people say that won't work...," the President said, "We need something else. My experts are working on it. They are are smart. Very smart. They'll come up with a way to deal with this. We just need more time and we've got to be patient. I've got to go Ivy, sorry about your son. It's a big loss and my heart is with you. Let me know if you need anything." "Good bye Mr. President," Ivy said hanging up the phone.
