It has been a long time coming. Life was happening, sorry for the delay. I've been replacing floors, a dryer, a dishwasher. two faucets, a heatpump, installing alarms, a second refrigerator,... yeah you get it. All is well here, we're just busy! I'm gonna stick with the current format of posting the "thumbnail" and the usual multi-panel comic strip for a while, it seems to work if you wait for it to all load. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTE: The events in this story are FICTIONAL. Any similarity to real events is PURELY COINCIDENTAL. Now we can finally reveal the true threat to the President - or have we just made the question even tougher? Feel free to post your theories, guesses, hypotheses, and other WAGs, I will respond! Our heroine got beat out of the bomb, or did she? Did she intentionally let him go with just enough interference to make sure he didn't get it near any H.V.A.s (High Value Assets)? Is she that good? At least we can understand why killing that President was supposed to be such a good thing for Russia. And let's give a hand to the T.N.A. agents Director Upp sent to help Annette - they wasted no time getting there! Special thanks to RodS for his work in panel 5 and for connecting our stories in his most recent installment. OK, Why is Zelenskyy in the Whitehouse? How did the Russians know he was going to be there in time to insert a mole? Was the mole already there and handy when they found out Zelenskyy was there? Did Russia decide to risk war with the US just to get Zelenskyy or was this the work of a few rogue actors? How will a foreign Head-of-State react when he finds out he was saved by a 14 year old? Will he just write it into the next episode of his SITCOM back in Ukraine? In any case, everyone concerned is safe and the investigation is underway. Tune in next episode when we'll find out if the Secret Service tries to hire Annette away from A.U.N.T. (a wholly owned subsidiary of T.N.A.). ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This story begins here. The next episode is here.
