Washington DC
The story takes a stop over in Washington DC to do a few things, the least of which is to visit the White House.During this first series an assassin is trying to kill the next president. Amileah over hears this and sets out to stop the assassin, as a result her quest to stop him takes her and Vince to Washington DC during the President Elects inauguration.
While there Ami risks her life to stop the assassination attempt on President Elect Christian Southall and his wife Belinda by putting herself in the line of fire yet again to push him out of the way. this time she must deal with the secret service she managed to avoid in the previous attempt before ultimately "kidnapping" Christian on national television.
The "kidnapping" takes place at the start of what would otherwise have been a motorcade escort for the President Elect, his Wife, Vice President Elect, and his wife to an awaiting vehicle to take them to the White House to be sworn in. I'm not from America clearly so I'm not all that familiar (even with all the research I've done) with how these things go, so I kind of just went screw it and wrote what I thought would be interesting to the story. I feel it fits and the path that they would have taken (it gives you that whole shooter on the grassy knoll vibe)
The path they would have taken...
It says 48 minutes by car however this is the path the motorcade parade would have taken to The White House and it was expected to last 2 hours. Not sure the protocols for these sorts of things but I feel it involved a lot of security guards and the secret service.
The Starting point is the Northgate Apartments however since this is set in the future by a few dozen years I changed it to the President's Lodge. The marked circles are also points where the parade may turn onto other streets or with the last point at 16th Street Northwest they should have switched to other cars for the drive to The White House.
During the situation where Amileah is busy saving Christian and Belinda after the attempt is made Vince confronts The assassin Levi Knox once again in a hotel where he is taking the shot from, they fight and with a lucky shot Levi escaped leaving Vince disorientated in the hotel hallway.
Luck is however on Vince's side as Calista one of the fed's that would later be after him and Amileah helped him out by sneaking him past the agents that are investigating the attempt in the moments after.
After the attempt Vince and Amileah manage to get out of the city by flying out of the unrestricted Baltimore Airport.
Later on meetings take place at the White House between Lake and Christian who was sworn into the position behind closed doors in fear of a third attempt on his life. Lake among the offer to join Division 10 had also been offered a position with the Secret Service and had considered taking it but had ultimately declined in the end. Laken comes to enjoy his visits to Washington more than he should as he's never really been to the capital city having moved out of the country when he was younger.
Aside form the White House the other places the characters visit include the National Monument and Abraham Lincoln Statue in what would be considered a sort of secret meeting but is more a brainstorming session to connect the pieces of their puzzle without anyone suspicious overhearing.
There isn't really much else that happens in Washington DC in this series but that doesn't mean there isn't more going on in the others.
PS. I kind of find Washington DC boring so I kind of stayed away from it.
PPS. but then you know I need Washington DC because it's where the President is and it kind of becomes an important location throughout the story as much as I wanted to stay away from it.
