Rendezvous With Destiny — Shawn M. Tomlinson

Tommy guns blasting, the trucks swooped in toward yet-to-be-elected Franklin D. Roosevelt. There were screams from the crowd. Martin, on the running board, pushed FDR down, Eleanor following suit. Chloe shot the driver in the first truck. The truck swerved, tipped over. Chloe was shooting at the driver of the second truck, but it had bullet-proof glass. She kept firing, but the truck kept coming. "Drive!" Martin shouted. The driver squealed the wheels. The four hung on, protecting FDR. The truck was following with men leaning out the back, firing. Tommy guns didn't have much range, but they could kill close up. Martin shot the tire under the driver. The tire was tough, but finally it went. The truck swerved and rolled. Martin saw men pulling themselves out of the the truck. Chloe told the driver to get behind the green car and stop. She told Daniel and Joseph to help get Roosevelt into the "gangster" car. They were going to make certain FDR became president, no matter what.
