Secret Service Convoy Car

Agents clamp onto Abbey Bartlet's arms in the White House hallway's fevered crush, propelling her through doors into the screeching convoy car—engine snarls erupt as tires claw pavement, hurtling the First Lady toward George Washington Hospital while her mind reels from wound reports and Zoey's secured flight. Doors seal with brutal finality, Secret Service shadows merging into its blacked-out shell. A spectral iteration slices past the hospital's night-shrouded bulk at 1:45 A.M., headlights carving silence to mark vigil's grinding eternity.
