On The Edge Of Infinity

Visit to the Los Angeles Today

Laura Zimmerman and Jack MC Carty are teleported right outside the Los Angeles Headquarters Today the first part of the mission is successful! Laura Zimmerman immediately calls Edison to notify him of his arrival in Los Angeles:

- It's good we have arrived you are a real genious

- Thank you so much for me, now go into the newspaper's headquarters, do an investigation trying to find out how the information could have happened and why publish it at this key moment of the campaign, try to talk with the editor of the newspaper to find the reporter who conducted the investigation

Laura and Jack enter the headquarters and ask to see the director of the newspaper imperatively, and it is at the end of the last floor of the building that was the editor, in full meeting, he was surprised to see the landing the candidate Edison's strategic advisor as well as his press officer, although he knew very well why they were the

- Hello how are you? What good wind brought you here? Said Tom Smith the editor-in-chief

- You know very well why we are here Mr Tom Smith says Mrs Zimmerman

- No, I do not know why you come here without warning

- We're here to ask you questions about the Edison affair Jack Mc Carthy

- I'm listening to you, he said, sighing

- We came here to inquire about the sources of the investigation, I mean how you could find this scandal and put it back in the light of day when the case had been closed without further action by the court for 20 years continues Jack

- In fact there was a testimony made by us five years ago where the victim speaks about the affair and the violence that Edison made to him ...

- How is it that we have never heard of this testimony? whispers Jack to Laura

- Why do not you do an investigation on Cruise or Kennedy who were also implicated in judicial scandals !!, takes Laura with a lot of aggressiveness

- Calm down Laura, interrupts Tom, one would like to know who is the reporter who conducted the investigation

- I can not tell you...

- See, sir, it will not cost you to say it, the Americans also have the right to know if the information which you publish and which have been relayed hundreds of thousands of times on the networks are true, I warn you one will not hesitate a attack you for defamation! says Zimmerman

- Okay it's Mrs. Lloyd who took care of the testimony you can talk to her, her office is on the third floor.

- Thank you

The two protagonists head for Ms. Lloyd's office, also stunned to see Laura and Jack greet her and enter her office, she was not at all serene, quite the contrary, she was shaking, she stammered, she did not want risk losing his position on this case

- What do you want to know?

- Oh nothing we just want to know how and why you decided to shed light on a scandal that ended 20 years ago !! exclaims Zimmerman

- Calm Laura, we would like to know more about the interview you had with the alleged victim, interrupted Jack

-You have the audacity to interrupt me as it whispers Laura

- So I did this interview five years ago, as part of a report on sexism, violence against women, you see ... I interviewed the victim, Edison was not yet a candidate .... This interview went unnoticed ... You see that there is no political interpretation ... That we are a neutral newspaper ... You believe me ... And then it's not me who put the case on the front of the stage, the only thing I did is the interview, that's all, it was someone else who was responsible for delivering the controversy has the light ...

- Who is it?

- I did my research on Twitter, and I saw that it was an anonymous account which had revived the controversy, it is called G121dse

- The problem lies in the fact that you relays the information of an anonymous Twitter account unknown to the general public without real proof or credible source!

- The truth is that our Twitter account has been hacked.

- Why did not your editor tell us and advocate his vision of the facts

- He does not want to discredit the newspaper with his audience ... Today our only support for the info is the digital and it is precisely on this platform that our account and even our application has been hacked

- Thank you for your courage Ms. Lloyd tells Jack

- Above all do not tell him, I risk losing my job!

- Do not worry Mrs. Lloyd what you do is totally under the law, the gesture you make is a gesture of patriotism for all Americans, you are protected Mrs. Lloyd I promise you even a high position within of our administration in case of election obviously

- Sir, I can trust you to say nothing to anyone

- But of course...

- I beg you!

- Do not worry, you do your job and you do it with dedication and I thank you for it.

The exchange continues between Laura and Jack:

- Nice job Jack

- Oh thank you it touches me, sorry for interrupting you, but sometimes you have to get things done in a non-diplomatic way

- It's true that I was a little embarrassed by your  attitude, but I forgive you anyway

- That's nice ... Well we must now reveal the truth to Isaac

- Yes it must be done but how to announce it to the public?

- It's your role my friend, you were not a journalist at the base?

- Yes...

- What do you propose then

-We announce everything to Isaac but it hasn't under any circumstances that this news comes out in the press, it will risk destabilizing the campaign

- But if the world must know that our opponents are simply using fake-news as a tool for demagogy!

- Before that we have to find a way to get back on time, my press conference is in a few hours ...

They return to the exact place where the teleportation took place and return on time to New York. The relief dominates, thanks to the genius of Edison, and the expertise of Zimmerman, and Jack Mc Cathy the 2 members of the staff always have questions to solve, how to announce that to Edison, how to announce this to the world in general ?
