orders. We contacted a member of the Department of Homeland Security about the evacuation orders and he forwarded us this information regarding the incident.
    The DHS has issued a mandatory evacuation of Lawrence County. Please remain calm and follow the evacuation orders. Do not attempt, under any circumstance, to re-enter the affected areas. It may appear safe but unseen dangers exist, such as hazardous radiation and chemical exposures. Unless properly equipped, those attempting re-entry may easily become poisoned from exposure, which can cause death.

    In other news... The Vikings continue their losing streak. When will it end? Fans are calling for the head coach to be fired but the organization is sticking with their man...
    Alex stares at the screen incredulously. Feelings of anger over whelm his brain and he struggles to not react on impulse. His years of training take over. His anger is subdued momentarily but feelings quickly resurface. It is not a secret that his father has a deep hatred for Trixie, for reasons only justifiable in Reese's own head. Alex is not in the mood for head games. This is the last straw. His father has crossed the line.
    “Hasn't this gone on long enough? Have you lost your fragile mind?” Alex shouts.
    “ I don't know what you're talking about, Alex.” Reese replies.
    “ You know damn good and well, what I am talking about. It isn't enough for you. Will you stop at nothing to prove your point? The whole damn world gets it. Well except for you. We got it. You hate Trixie. But using your connections to frame her as a terrorist is just going plain too far!” Alex yells.
    “ I didn't frame her... She brought this on, all by herself.” Reese replies.
    “ I know you disapprove of my relationship with Eve. You couldn't have made it more clear over the years. I have loved her since high school and I will never stop loving her, no matter how inconvenient it is for you. Even, in your warped sense of reality, there has to be some understanding of right and wrong.” Alex says.
    “ You still think I am out to lynch the old hag? As if some age-old vendetta, needs to be made amends? Son, you are barking up the wrong tree. Just watch this footage.” Reese undoes the Dlink from his wrist and places it in Alex's hands. “Dlink activate...Show file 013... Authorization... Omega one.”
    Alex holds the Dlink firmly, as he watches the images unfold before his own eyes. He does not realize who Haus is but he recognizes the tattoo immediately. He continues watching, listening to every detail of the recorded conversation. He pays very close attention to the words of Trixie but it is very obvious her intent was not peaceful. “Who is the agent?” Alex asks.
    “That would have been Agent Haus. I sent a special team to recover his body. In fact, they should have made it back to base by now.” Reese replies.
    “ So that is what this is all about... Trixie causes you to lose an agent, so you are hell bent on revenge?” Alex says.
    “ No, there is more to the story than that. Trixie, or should I say, Commander Trixie, was second in command on a new secret underground research facility...”
    “ Who in their right mind would give her authority?” Alex asks.
    “ People are losing their jobs as we speak.” Reese replies.
    “ OK, let's get right down to the point. What else do I need to know?” Alex asks.
    “ Trixie, not only murdered one of my agents, she murdered General Stratton, and
