Salute To The General

Two military vehicles escorting a medical transport van appeared at the gate of the White House at the first light of the following day. Immediately afterward, a dozen armed soldiers exited the two trucks and fell into position.

Several medical staff in protective gear got out of the van. One of them, a middle-aged man, was carrying a briefcase in his hand.

In addition to the combination lock on the briefcase, an additional layer of security was insured by its handle handcuffed to the man's wrist.

As was his custom, Jannus Cross was there to deliver the President's medicine.

Escorted by the soldiers, Jannus and his colleagues entered the White House through the main entrance, with representatives of the White House leading the way.

Soon, the party arrived at the Royal Medical Department.

Seamus, the head of the royal physicians, brought several of his staff to greet Jannus.

"Good morning, Professor Cross."

"Hello, Dr. Yaleman," Jannus greeted back politely. "The President is reacting to the drug better than we had expected. I'm excited to announce that he is ready to be put into the second stage of treatment. I have personally escorted the delivery of the drug into your safe hands only."
