Ashgard: Ambition and Purpose
Empty Power #141
Seconds passed, and the longer the area of the City Hall was increasingly crowded by the police and military. Some of the wounded, and the dead one by one, have been evacuated and rushed to hospital immediately. The siren roar can slowly be heard on the streets between urban buildings. With enough ambulances passing through the city streets, they were seen busy rescuing survivors and evacuating the dead for further checks at Central Hospital.
"Finally ... it's over," said Prawira walking slowly towards Garwig, and then standing next to the man in the green striped uniform.
"I don't think so, there are still some procedures to process them all" said Garwig, his gaze fixed on the group of people dressed in white, purple, and red. They were all gathered in the middle of the building's courtyard, and separated before being transferred to the Federal using some of the police's steel vehicles.
"James, escort the vehicles!" pinta Prawira to James who happens to pass right in front of him.
James saluted Prawira and replied, "get ready, sir!" before he immediately left.
"Sir, most of the Red Rascals managed to escape from here, and we lost any sign of them." Flix approached Prawira and reported the matter to her.
It seems that the Red Rascals were the most successful party to escape the scene, compared to Cassano and Clone Nostra. It can be seen as well, that there were only no more than five people from the Red Rascals who were caught and loaded into those steel vehicles.
Prawira briefly glanced at Garwig standing beside her, before then replying, "well, the report was received. For the time being, we calm down first ...!"
"Well," replied Flix bowing his head, and then left.
"Prawira, can you come with me for a minute?" ask Garwig.
Prawira nodded and replied, "good."
Garwig stepped away from the front yard into the building, and then headed to the backyard of the building along with Prawira. Only that place was currently quite quiet compared to the extremely crowded front courtyard.
"What's wrong? Is there anything you want to talk about?" tanya Prawira stepped towards a tree and leaned against the tree.
Garwig walked up to the concrete barrier on the side of the courtyard, and leaned there as she replied, "yes, just a few things."
"So I haven't seen Berlin yet, how's it going?" garwig asked and looked at Prawira.
Prawira smiled and replied, "don't worry, he's already getting medical attention and will be fine."
Garwig turned his gaze back towards the urban buildings that were seen quite clearly from a distance. Located from the City Hall on the hills of the city has a very good view, which can see the urban atmosphere from the top of the hill.
Quiet and cool afternoon atmosphere with very cloudy weather. So calming, let alone all the chaos that had occurred had finished and subsided. Now what will be the PR of the government and the community is, to restore and restore the entire region from the impact of the chaos that occurred today.
"Garwig, apparently ... Boni said many things to him, and all related to what happened to his parents," said Prawira speaking about Berlin who seemed to have known many things from Boni. Even Berlin had spoken to him and asked himself to express his gratitude to Boni Jackson, a Mayor who played a traitor in the conflict and this problem.
"You know everything about the tragedy, and you purposely hid it from Berlin, didn't you?" sahut Prawira with a sharp look towards Garwig.
"Yes, I deliberately didn't tell him right away, because I didn't want to shock him instantly," Garwig replied before later adding, "actually .. if he asked and wanted to know about it from me, he said, I'm not afraid to tell him, anyway."
"Tch!" decak Prawira before then said, "you really suck, hell!"
Garwig only laughed out loud at Prawira's reaction, which seemed to represent Berlin's feelings when she heard what he said. But the laughter fell silent again as Prawira spoke of the single mayor.
"Boni, by the way, he was the one who occupied the highest office, and now he had to be removed from that seat because of the traitor he had committed."
"There will be a power vacuum in the chair, and it will most likely be a struggle for many."
After talking a little about the now-empty office chair. Prawira glanced sharply and seriously at Garwig before finally asking a question, "what are your decisions, Garwig?"
The existence of a power vacuum over the seat of office left by Boni Jackson, will certainly be a political controversy that is likely to cause adverse effects. Many will contest the seat of office, and do not rule out the possibility of a split.
Basically if the seat of office of head of state or government occurs vacancy, it will be replaced with a representative. But in the case of Boni Jackson is very different, because he is the mayor of the successor after Axel Gates, and present without a representative.
Based on people who have positions right under the mayor and vice mayor, the most suitable and ready to replace and fill the position is the defense minister, Garwig Gates himself.
Garwig sighed hearing a question that really weighed down his shoulders. He turned to Prawira and replied, "i'm not sure."
"However you should! Since there was no longer a suitable person to fill that seat, Garwig! Do you want to let this city fall to the likes of Boni again?" sahut Prawira looks very trying to convince Garwig.
"Yes, I know that! But is it okay? I'm not sure the public will trust me, because it's useless if I get the position but not with the public's trust" said Garwig.
Prawira relaxed back by leaning against the tree and said, "but even then you have to make a decision, Garwig ...!"
What Prawira said is true. Everything has to keep going, even if it just goes with the flow. Garwig looks very calm and is thinking hard about what decision he should take.
