Cassius actually liked the White house much better than the Rainhounds base. For one, it was secure with many soldiers keeping guard. Secondly, it was not overcrowded the way Rainhounds was.
Thirdly it did not stink. The fourth reason was that the meals they served were actually edible and lastly, he was close to the power. He was now close to the new president and he wanted to ascend the ranks quickly.
He had started picturing himself in the position of a vice president as soon as he safely entered the premises without being noticed.
To accomplish his goals, he did not waste time in mingling with other survivors. Cassius had escaped the Rainhounds base with some of his luggage. He had some candy in the suitcase so as he pulled it around, he distributed candy to the children and dropped his name.
"Cassius Quinn, just call me Cassius."
