Chapter 44: Preparing a counter-attack
Aaron watched the security feeds from the Temporary Office, as high pressure water jets blasted the swarm of reporters and paparazzi that had gathered outside the Sirius Software compound.
"Natasha, more warning shots, and tear gas," he ordered over the intercom.
He watched as tear gas canisters exploded in the crowd, sending the reporters and paparazzi fleeing in all directions, coughing and choking.
"Status report, Natasha," he said into the intercom.
"About ten reporters are still holding out sir, but the rest have fled," reported Natasha.
"Warn those ten that they’ll get napalm instead of tear gas if they don’t clear out, I don’t explain myself to filth," said Aaron.
"With pleasure, sir," replied Natasha, she switched on a loudspeaker, and shouted: "This is your final warning! Clear out now, or we will use napalm on you!"
The remaining reporters scrambled away, leaving the compound in peace.
"Good girl, Natasha. Now come back to the Temporary Office," ordered Aaron, as he leaned back in his chair, satisfied.
"On my way, sir," replied Natasha.
"We have a problem Aaron, this cease-and-desist order includes a summons for a full senate hearing," said Andre, as he entered the Temporary Office.
