"
"You've got it."
John came into the room and asked, "What's the plan so far, people?"
"They'll act like reporters," said Alan, nodding at Mandi and Cade. "If they
can disarm the situation, they will. If not, they'll continue to act like
reporters and we'll try something else."
A man came trotting into the room to hand Alan a couple of laminated press
badges. He stood by as Alan examined them, then he led the real newspeople out
of the room.
Handing one of the badges to Mandi, Alan said, "You're Mary Winston,
intrepid reporter for WNN." Handing the other badge to Cade, he said, "And
you're Grant Parker from Channel Nine. This will be called a cooperative news
effort."
Turning to John, he said, "If anyone was watching, they saw the real Grant
and Winston rush over here."
Nodding, John said, "Okay, then. Check the gear and confirm the feeds to WNN
and Nine. There'll be some deliberate static in the first few seconds and an
excuse will be made about adjusting the signal, then we'll switch the feed to an
in-house loop. While our terrorists are watching themselves being interviewed on
TV, anyone outside will be taken back to whatever was on before.
