Forgetting Forrester's prior instructions, Alexa leaped onto the stage, watching both the peruvian minister and the australian. Both seemed unpreturbed by the scene. Her temper short, she ran across the stage,
"Sir..I need to get you out of here. Please stand up...now" She wasn't leaving him any choice. She wasn't going to have him getting hurt on her conscience. She glanced anxiously at the Australian Minister and she bade him stay put for a second, before sprinting across to her. Her wand was out, clenched tightly in her hand.

"Minister, we haven't met. I'm your security for tonight. Please stand, and follow me to a secure location" True, she'd left introductions very short, but she didn't have time for speeches.
"Miss...this is of highest importance I keep you safe" She glanced angrily at the peruvian minister. He wasn't her minister anymore. But she couldn't exactly see Edward or Elwood or whoever was guarding him.
"Come with me" She said, softly this time and took the minister and the Peruvian towards Forrester.

Alexa knew that voice very well. She looked to Forrester, who wasn't acting.
"Sir. We can only control this scene if we've got them out. The building's been locked I presume?" She asked glancing at Egypt.
"How about the old courtrooms? We can lock them down and just keep that secure. It's a much smaller area to work with.." She glanced back at the Minister.
"And who's looking after the peruvian?" She tried to keep her tone calm, but in the surrounding frenzy she couldn't help but sound strained. She hadn't even thought about why this had happened. She turned to Warren, a tight smile all she could manage.
"We really need to get them out of here"

She went over to stand next to her husband. She didn't want to lose him in the confusion, and he had that confused look on his face. She grabbed his hand and squeezed it.

"Ms. Taylor myself, Edward, and Nathan will accompany you and the ministers up to level one." She told Reagan as Edward made it to the stage. She wasn't letting Nathan out of her sight. There was no telling what else was going to happen. Her team was on the ball today and if they had been given the chance to help with security she was sure this wouldn't have happened.

Egypt didn't see him coming but the gigantic form of Warren jumping onto the stage scared the daylights out of her and she melted into Nathan as a knee jerk reaction. She looked at him for scaring her. He need a good shrinking charm or something it just wasn't human for one person to be so huge. She would poke him in the ribs for scaring her later when this was all over.

Out of the corner of his eye he saw Egypt jump as he jumped onto the stage and ran over toward his minister. He stopped himself from going over to make sure she was alright and nodded as he saw Nathan standing there. This was just ridiculous. He knew they hadn't had enough help and yet Forrester didn't seem to take that into account.

Warren heard Rebecca call him and heard her say Alexa. He looked around for the familiar face of Alexa and heard her voice first. He swallowed hard trying to calm down his nerves and headed toward Rebecca and Forrester making sure that his minister was following him. He glanced over his shoulder at her and nodded to himself as he moved next to Alexa and gripped her hand. Turning to look at Alexa he returned her tight smile and nodded as he leaned down and whispered in her ear, "Yes we do and we will when they stop arguing over who's got the biggest wand." Looking behind him he saw the American minister right behind him and smiled reassuringly, "We're going to get you out of here I need you to stick close to me." He was tempted to say the same thing to Alexa but knew better. She was an Auror...she could handle her own as she proved herself many times over.

She looked over at Alexa. "Yes this place has been locked down tight. All fireplaces have been closed and the visitors entrance disconnected." She explained. "And my team is conducting a search of ever floor as we speak." She wanted them to know that she was on top of this as far as the ministry security was concerned.

Nathan was still waiting for Forrester to form some sort of plan or to give orders when he felt Egypt's warm hand curl around his own. He smiled at her and squeezed her hand back. “You ok?” He asked her gently.

He nodded when Egypt suggested he and Edward accompany Reagan to Level one. Egypt seemed to be more in control than anyone from the Law Department. Plus, he didn't want to loose her again. It was enough when she ran off to secure the Ministry. He would have gone with her if he had been taken off guard ...and been so confused by what was going on at the time.


He placed a protective arm around her shoulders as she melted into him. She seemed terribly nervous. He couldn't really understand why everyone was panicking over this. He gave Egypt a one armed squeeze. “Come on, love. You know you can hold your own against Warren.” He said looking over at the man and smirking at him. Well.. she had managed to knock him out good and proper that time he came round for dinner.

Jose obeyed, following Security, not sure exactly where he was going.

Trying to get the minister to follow her, Alexa turned when she heard her name.
"Rebecca?" She whispered and nodded. "Of course" She smiled and turned to the Ministers.
"Can we get you all up, and follow me?"

Alexa looked questioningly at Forrester, waiting for a reply. It was making her nervous just being in here. She sighed and nodded, "I just wish they'd make a move on. Who did this?" As much as she had an irk for Clara Belle. No one deserved to be publically humiliated, much less stalked on their honeymoon. She heard him address his minister and turned to the australian.
"Miss. We'll be moving you to somewhere safer as soon as possible. So in the mean time, could you remain close. It's a little busy around here, and I would not like to loose you" She smiled and squeezed Warren's hand. That was slightly more reassuring.

Alexa nodded to Egpyt, and smiled, "You've got it then" She replied with a anxious laugh. "There's no unknown exits correct? Well then whoever this is is still in the building" That was a relief wasn't it?

Turning, she sighed. "Sir. We'll get you out of here soon. Just as soon as things...are..." She turned back to Forrester and exhaled tiredly, "Sorted"

Forrester now watched as the chaos got bigger and they still didn't move. He couldn't just drop down the defensive charm he had put around the stage and just guide the ministers into the crowd, but he couldn't just allow the crowd to get evacuated as everyone was now a suspect.
Maybe I need a portkey to get them to that floor, but creating one now would be illegal and we can't show that to the ministers. Forrester thought to himself as he looked around. Maybe there is a back door, something they can use to get past the crowd and make unseen as well. he said to himself as he looked at mrs. Reagan.

"Everyone that was assigned to a minister and everyone that works with either the aurors, MLES, HitWizards or security please stay with the ministers." Forrester shouted to the security and law enforcement depatments employees.
"Nicoli you are late, I sent you my warning a good half hour ago... We will work that later" Forrester whispered to him before movin towards mrs. Reagan again.
"Sorry mrs. reagan I need to ask you is there any back door or way up besides the front doors?" Forrester asked.

Rebecca smiled warmly "Thanks you two" she pulled out her wand and moved her wand in a circular motion around the Ministers "Ok, they're safe enough" she nodded "Let's move them, NOW" she nudged Forrester

Jose was beginning to feel like he and the other Ministers were being herded like cattle. Most embarrassing for their hosts.

Reagan wasn't listening to what everyone was saying. She didn't hear a thing. Her eyes were scanning the crowd as she thought hard about what was going on. This woman who made the threats was long gone by now. Reagan just knew it. She could feel it. And while she anticipated that the woman might return, she knew it wouldn't be today.

Reagan spoke to the crowd on the stage, "May I have everyone's attention please? I am convinced that there is no longer a threat present here tonight. Security has been checking the Ministry and has come up with nothing. That woman would not stick around, even in her animagus form, and risk getting caught. No, I think she's long gone. Which means, that I think each of the Ministers would be free to return to their overnight arrangements in Diagon Alley, provided that they are accompanied by a member of law enforcement or ministry security, who will stand guard outside the door.

"Upon returning tomorrow morning for the start of the roundtable discussions, I think it best if you all arrived directly into the courtroom via portkey. I will arrange all of your portkeys and deliver them to you this evening. Law Enforcement and Security will all be guarding the courtrooms vigilantly, as well as all other Ministry Officials involved, including myself. I do not believe we should allow the reckless behaviour of one vigilante to destroy the progress that we can achieve together for the wizarding world. If that were to occur, she will have succeeded in sending a message to all the world that a mere threat is enough to derail our efforts and will, indirectly, encourage others to do the same. This cannot be allowed. We WILL find this woman and bring her to justice. But we also must proceed with business as usual."


OOC: Ministers, you are not obligated to RP your characters in Diagon Alley, though you may choose to do so if you wish. Security is not obligated from an OOC perspective to accompany the Ministers, either.

Forrester watched as Reagan completely ignored him, and passed him by and spoke with true leadership with the crowd and handled the complete situation.
As she was done, he got towards her and asked her. "How will the minister and his wife be heading to there house, and am I asked to accompany them as I am the responsible for the security of the minister?"

Jose waited for his designated Security to arrive. Diagon Alley! He'd heard of it, of course. This should be fun.

Reagan contemplated Forrester's question and replied, "I think it best that we allow the Minister and his wife decide how they wish to handle their travel. They may desire a portkey directly to their home, or perhaps they could use the Floo network. But only allow it to be open from his office to their home fireplace. Keep all others closed until we can figure out how we're going to deal with the rest of the guests. But I suggest double-checking with him and Clara either way."

"Sure thing!" Forrester said, but he turned towards Edward first. "I need you to replace your charge with someone's else and keep an eye here in case I am going... Search the ministry further more" Forretser whispered Edwards before turning to his employees.
"Ok everyone with his minister, constant viligance and keep an eye on your minister all the time, no one is to be trusted and stay with them all night, I think everyone needs to team up on this" Forrester said as he looked at Egypt and Nicoli, before turning and heading towards the minister.
"Sorry minister Cooper, lovely miss Clara, would you wish I accompany you home or are you using a portkey to get to your home, if so I will be taking you both to your office so I can manage a portkey there" Forrester explained. "What will be your choice?"

Rebecca nodded "Ok, It''s gonna be a long night everyone!" she told the aurors

Alexa laughed bitterly, "You can say that again" She turned to the Australian minister. "If it's alright with you Miss," She told the minister, "It would be good if I could escort you now" She smiled, hoping it was warm and a little relieving.
