The Shock Discovery
Director Antone Kays learned of the forgery late Monday evening. While in his office, he was informed of an official statement circulating within the West Wing—bearing his name and signature—that condemned President Reyes.
Calling the President directly, Kays said, "Mr. President, I apologize for such. It seems that we are suffering an internal security breach."
President Reyes, composed yet visibly irritated, responded: "Don’t worry. As you saw in 0017, we have everything under control. Just investigate the matters and make a statement."
Kays initiated an immediate internal investigation.
The Fallout and Lockdown
Within the hour, DHS Secretary Mike Johnson was contacted. Upon hearing the situation, he ordered, “Lock down the perimeter and make sure there’s extra security on site for 48 hours.”
Speaker of the House Torrie Bennett, having received a cryptic email about the breach, responded: "This is very troubling, knowing that things like this could happen."
Kays sent a mass email to Senators and Representatives confirming a breach had occurred and that a forged communication had been distributed under his identity.

Political Firestorm
Soon after, the breach went public, triggering a brutal confrontation between Director Kays and Congressional Leader Antonio Ramirez (D-TX). Ramirez demanded transparency and immediate corrective actions, stating, “If interns can steal personnel access cards and impersonate leadership, that represents a critical systemic failure.”
Kays fired back: “Don’t comment on a topic you don’t have KNOWLEDGE of.”
Ramirez, a former Speaker of the House, reminded Kays of his own authority: “You know nothing of what you’re doing.”
Civilian in Danger
In an alarming parallel event, a woman reportedly tied to the situation was nearly killed in a violent altercation that some sources suspect may be connected to the leak. Though details remain unconfirmed, reports suggest that the chaos surrounding the breach may have extended beyond the digital realm.
Aftermath and Reactions
Following hours of escalating panic, Director Kays declared the breach resolved and notified President Reyes and Secretary Johnson. However, members of Congress are far from satisfied. Multiple committees are now planning to launch their own investigations.
Senator William Johnson (I-NC) praised the Director for his response: "Great work, Mr. Director. Is there any legislation you need worked on?"
Meanwhile, former White House Chief of Staff and political insiders remain skeptical about how an intern could access such critical systems.
What Comes Next?
With federal agencies tightening internal access and lawmakers pressing for answers, Washington enters a new chapter of mistrust and reform. The identity of the forger is still under investigation, and while Director Kays remains in office, his reputation and the institution he leads may never fully recover.
Whether this incident was the work of a rogue staffer, a coordinated attack, or political sabotage remains to be seen.
One thing is certain: the nation is watching.
