Teaser
A firey session of the House of Commons is in process. The Prime Minister, Mr. Walker, is answering questions from the Opposition. The Opposition leader, Kevin Bosley, asks a supplementary question about national security that sends the House into uproar. Walker is staggered by the question, and when he ducks it, he is met with derision. The scene shifts to Martin Hall, where Robbie Dahl is arriving to work in the early morning. He is jogging, with a mobile phone to his ear. He is talking about a speech to the National Womens Electoral Lobby when he is stopped by a security guard who asks him for identification. Robbie hangs up the phone and suggests that the guard must be new. The guard insists on asking for ID before a more senior guard arrives and waves Robbie through. "That's the Chief of Staff," he says, to the newcomer. The new guard simply says. "Oh." Then, a woman approaches the gate, dressed, like Robbie, in a tracksuit and sweatband. "Nice work, Jerry," she says. "You'll catch someone one day." Then she jogs off. "And that..." begins the guard. "Was the President," says the senior guard. "Don't worry. You'll get used to it."
