As they sat in the middle of the Senator’s office suite watching the Tv in the corner, the desperation on
the faces of Duncan and Nichole mirrored that of Senator Fitzgerald’s. Justin on the other hand, was discreetly
watching the way Nichole’s hips moved as she squirmed in reaction to the commentary coming across the tube. It
wasn’t that he wasn’t aware of what was being said in the broadcast, it was just that her shape was a pleasant
distraction from the strife they were about to get in to.
“What we do know is that,” Tom, the news anchor said as his image behind the anchor desk flowed
through the flat screen they were watching. “Senator Fitzgerald is rumored to have recently fathered a child out of
his marriage. As you know Pat,” Tom commented towards the gentleman seated beside him. “The Senator has two
children with his wife of more than 21 years.”
“And from all appearances,” Pat, the co-host commented. “The Senator and his wife Katie had a perfect
marriage,” he finished then rubbed his right hand against his wrinkled clean shaven chin.
“And speaking of controversy Pat,” Tom replied as the lighting in the studio highlighted the grey in his
hair. “How do you think this will affect his health care bill?”
As the commentators spoke, Justin took his eyes off Nichole’s shapely frame and looked at Senator
Fitzgerald with a studious eye. The rumple on the Senator’s brow added to the disgusted look on his face as Pat,
the Tv anchor, continued his commentary. “Tom, this is just another example of the liberal agenda falling apart at
the seams…”
After the plump cheeked Tv personality had his say, Senator Fitzgerald took in a deep breath then finally
decided to cut the volume on the broadcast to mute. After taking in another patch of air, the Senator scanned the
room and noticed that everyone’s head was either down or pointed away from his, except for Justin who was
instead looking straight at him. And as the Senator returned Justin’s stare, he somehow cheered up with an
attitude that addressed the issue head on.
“So Justin,” he proclaimed with a spark that spoke to the heart of the matter. “I’ve got about two weeks
to bring this bill to the table and on top of that,” the Senator expressed with a serious demeanor as he got up from
his chair and started pacing around his office. “On top of that, I’m probably going to lose some votes before then.
So this is it son. Say something that made you worth the recommendation,” the Senator demanded with a civil
tone as he stopped his pacing.
“First off,” Justin replied while casually crossing his legs as he stared straight at the Senator. “We stop the
leak,” he uttered with a calculating bearing. “Is Ms. Knight agreeable to signing a confidentiality agreement?”
“She’s not the source of the leak,” the Senator replied as something made him want to cover the angle in
his love triangle.
“No Sir,” Justin replied in a slightly confronting manner delivered with a respectful tone. “But she is the
water in the dam,” he finished while looking at the Senator with a brow that said it was time to fess up.
“She should be agreeable,” Senator Fitzgerald conceded.
“We’ll need it signed and her briefed as soon as possible,” Justin returned while noticing the way the
Senator looked at Duncan then taking note that Nichole remained silent. “We should assume they already have her
name, so probably at the most, all we have is three days,” he declared.
“After that?” Duncan interrupted in an effort to take some of the burden off his boss.
“After we calm the waters,” Justin replied while leaning a little further into his chair. “We stop the leak,”
