    “Captain, who says he’s going to find out. He doesn’t follow our comings and goings. I’ll report to him how many boats are in port and that we’re in the process of decommissioning them. That process takes a long time with nuclear-powered boats. I think I can keep him away from the truth for a long time.”
     
    “Admiral, that’s good to hear, what about the attack boats?”
     
    “Captain, we’ve had a similar discussion with the attack boat captains, they’ve all signed on for the duration. Two attack boats are going to rendezvous with each of you; they are going to be your nursemaids for the duration. They’ll make sure no one gets a sniff of you.”
    “Admiral, West Virginia actual, happy to hear that. We’ve had a couple of Russians sniffing for us the last four days; we were able to hide from them, it’ll be good to have some friendly company.”
     
    “All, I don’t know how this is going to turn out, I have faith in our people. I have faith they’ve not gotten so fat and lazy they only care about which star is sleeping with the other, or the newest smartphone. We’ll transmit a code for another conference call in ten day's time, good luck to all of you. Run silent, run deep; you may be our last hope. Zander out.”

    Miami Florida is torn apart in a multi-race war; African American youth attack the Latinos, who are just about to attack a local mostly white upper-class high school. All three groups clash a block away from the school. Knives, broken bottles, bricks and baseball bats are used to beat each other. When the police arrive they find fourteen youths dead, and thirty-six seriously wounded. The families of the young decide to get revenge for their children, they start fighting with each other. 48 hours after the first punch was thrown Forty-two people are dead one hundred, and two are seriously wounded. The emergency medical services mistakenly brought the various groups to the same hospital, which results in the fighting to continue in the emergency room. The fighting soon spreads through the hospital drawing in visitors, patients plus some medical staff. Nurses and doctors try to get away from the fighting, only to be caught up in it. One security guard uses the hospital's fire hose to break the fighting up; both sides grab the security guard, throwing him out of a second story window breaking both of his legs. The fighting continues until a fire breaks out in the hospital kitchen. The flames spread through the hospital killing 75.
     
    Similar fights break out in Atlanta, Memphis along with twenty-eight other cities. The President is silent about the fights. He doesn’t say a word about the dead or to ask for calm.

    “President Lawson, we can break into the Atlanta Federal Bank Branch. The gold is stored in the secure basement. We know we can break in and get the gold out. The issue we haven’t been able to answer is how we’re going to get the gold home.”
     
    “Can we truck it back?”
    “It’s 782 miles while carrying a ton of gold. We’ll attract every criminal in the country when the word gets out. We can’t afford to strip a large enough force to guard the convoy while it travels 782 miles. If we send a large enough force to provide security on our return, the Feds are sure to figure out what's happening. They’ll strengthen the defense at the bank; the Feds will surely attack us before we even arrive in Atlanta. We could end up fighting our way to Atlanta and then back.”
     
    “I understand, what else can we do to force the feds to give us what’s ours?”
     
    “We have to have something they want very badly, something they want more than our gold in order to make them trade with us.”
     
    “Do you mean something like the nukes?”
     
    “Mr. President, would you turn over the nukes after telling the feds we don’t have them.”
     
    “I never said we would turn
