Direction i need him to run. Ill never forget that grip. He says, senator, were in danger, you have to come with me. And because of leader schumers position, he needed to go to different locations than Everybody Else did. We are walking briskly through a hall. And there are two gentlemen right by the stairwell. One baldheaded gentleman. Another one, long, black hair with a punisher shirt. We immediately aboutface. I grab the leader. We run out the door at full speed. I was within 20 feet of these insurrectionists. I heard second hand that someone pointed at me and said, theres the big jew, lets get him. We had a plan set. I ran to the elevator, i hit the button.
