She would have to read those reports from home or during the party when Justin was having fun with his friends.
A streak of lightning was reflected in the windows of the building. A few seconds later, roaring loud thunder followed. A loud high pitched scream immediately followed.
"Mommy!!" she heard Justin's frightened scream.
She turned her head to her son and saw him trembling in Cecily's hands. His hands were covering his ears and he was looking at her with a frightened look on his face.
She opened her hands and extended them out. She assumed that Cecily would let him come to her but the older woman shook her head. She looked at the officials who were still in the building and the reporters.
Scarlet nodded, she didn't care. She was not just a governor, she was a mother of a young child.
Cecily sighed and carried Justin over, handing him to Scarlet.
