Joseph smiled as he sat down, for he was once again in his natural habitat. Of course his new president was in charge, in Joseph’s mind he had done the hard and dirty work and he was rewarded as he knew he would be. His mind was calm and collected as usual and he called for his deputy secretary to enter.

Within minutes his deputy secretary of security, Antonio Gonzales entered with a briefcase filled with files and reports. He also had a copy of the budget to show Joseph “Secretary Hernandez, I’d say welcome back but we both know you never really left. Nothing’s changed with our department, however our new President has already proposed a budget.” - Antonio set down the budget in front of Joseph - “ While it was unusual that they didn’t wait to see what we or the other departments requested. Our analysts believe that the two billion submitted for our department should be enough to do what we need to do. However the President suggested providing additional money to the Minister of Transport and they believe that’s far greater than needed. I would suggest bringing this up to them. But otherwise everything seems suitable.” 

Joseph nodded slowly looking over the budget, specifically his security budget. 2 billion gave him options. However he had spoken to the other ministers about their budget concerns. While he didn’t agree with the budget given amount with each ministry. He wasn’t going to upset the new president after he just gave him his job back. “We’ll approve this budget. There is no reason for us not to, but perhaps next time we can edit it. To fill it out more accordingly. Now let’s see the briefcase, what chaos needs to be put down today.”
