Finally, some good news from the CIA... they had located the man who had assassinated President Trevon. The person had fled to Morocco which has no extradition treaty with the United States and has a history of continually refusing any request we have made to turn over criminals to be prosecuted under U.S. Law.
Turning to the CIA Director, POTUS gave one simple order... I don't care how you do it, I want the man in United States Custody immediately. With the deployment of a Navy Seal Team, the accused individual was found floating unconscious in a life raft outside of the territorial limit of Morocco. He was "rescued" by the United States Navy and once his identity was determined the individual was turned over to Federal Authorities and is now waiting in Federal Custody for arraignment on the charge of Murdering our President.
Win was proud when he asked for "air time" from the National Media Providers to announce the man accused of assassinating President Trevon is now in United States Custody and awaiting prosecution. Even a criminal who is accused of such a heinous act will be given every right under our laws. He is innocent until proven guilty!
After the national televised address, Win returned to the Oval Office and privately commented to Piero "Lethal injection is too kind of an execution for this man."
The power brokers of Washington were elated. Win agreed to run for a second term and General Perez would accept being his Vice-President running mate. Every poll they had run showed a Thorp/Perez carrying every state and definitely will help giving the Democratic party control of both houses of Congress. This would give Win a chance to leave a positive legacy for the American People.
As the special prosecutor started to obtain access to children who had been forced into sexual action with police, attorneys, politician and even judges... the evidence was overwhelming and shocking how far this crime had impacted the children of the Midwest. This wasn't just Chicago but was a multi-state conspiracy even including some federal officials.
Yes, the new Arch Bishop and Doc had their hands full and the only comment Doc would make after he evaluated some children is that the perpetrator should be publicly castrated without the use of any anesthetic. The consensus of the soldiers of Alpha Zulu was to have a "Black Ops" team show the perpetrators the error of their way. A Car Battery and Jumper Cables usually is sufficient to convince any perp they are safer in jail than they are free in society after a Black Ops team finished with their "motivation".
POTUS asked SecDef to give the parents of the first two boys who brought this to his attention... please have them given a compassionate leave to return home and be reassigned to a stateside posting. These boys need their parents and I'm certain with the therapy provided by our team at Fort Connor these boys can return to a normal life with their parents.
As the special prosecutor started to arrest suspects and arraign them in court... Yes, there was pre-court settlement agreements, but it was one of two options... 20 years without any chance of parole or the Attorney General would ask for a life sentence with no chance of parole. Either way, when you walk out of Prison, even a case of Viagra won't help you hurt another child!
As for Win... he carried through and supported the Attorney General when two members of his political party were indicted and stood firm as the men were censured and evicted from Congress. There was no "club fed" sentences handed down. These men would do hard time and hopefully their fellow prisoners would help in showing them the error of their ways. A murderer is respected by the prison population, a child molester learns personally what his victim experienced. Yes, there will be justice for every child.
Arch-Bishop Emmanuel was pleased to be notified an Associate Priest was being added to his staff at Fort Connor. Johann never complained about the increase in his workload, with all the damaged children he had to counsel. It was a labor of love, but it was tasking on him physically and mentally. Having an associate to share the burden would be greatly appreciated.
As our new Captain arrived at Fort Connor, the Security detachment that processed his arrival was ready to tear off his clothes and jump his bones the minute his feet left the plane ramp. Welcoming the Captain to Fort Connor, they processed his security clearance and escorted him to the office of our Commanding Generals.
General Perez was glad he was sitting behind his desk because this stud of a Chaplain had his blood flowing south of the border. Welcoming the new Chaplain to Fort Connor, he briefly explained the special project we were currently coordinating with the Federal Special Prosecutor and the Attorney General. I'm certain our Arch-Bishop can provide you with more detail and bring you up to speed. Your assistance will be much appreciated as we attempt to salvage the lives and the souls of these abused imps.
Requesting the Command Master Sergeant to join the meeting, please introduce our new Chaplain to the Arch-Bishop and then give him a tour of our base. I'll see you both at lunch and we can organize an orientation and I hope our new Chaplain has a fast learning curve.
Worthington Industries for General Perez... this could be a good or bad way to start my day. A smiling Luke usually means he wants something. "How can I be of service today?
We need to send a small team to the Vance Property in West Virginia and I wondered if you can spare a few men? "I'm certain I'll have 400 volunteers for the duty assignment. It will take me longer to hold a lottery than it will to get the men to West Virginia." When do you want to depart. Make it 0800 hours Monday morning and I'll pick them up in Worthington Actual. I need to see how the Moonshine Operation is running after the death of Pa Vance and Billy Bob.
As Sebastian and I were figuring out a fair way to select men for the unique duty being requested, we knew the entire base was well aware of the sexual appetite of the Vance Mountain Boys. I was surprised when our new Arch-Bishop suggested it would be a good experience for his new assistance and it was only for a few days off base. (Is Luke in for a surprise!)
Luke and five engineers arrived prior to Flag Raising and left immediately after breakfast with five Alpha Zulu soldiers chosen at random and one Associate Chaplain who the entire base was curious how he would assimilate into the gay mountain culture of the Vance's.
Luke shared with our new chaplain the history of the Vance Family and how it was inter-woven with the Worthington family and Alpha Zulu. We do this as a labor of love and the high quality Moonshine they produce is a treasured gift we give to our clients. The Vance's are one of the few distilleries in the hills that are actually licensed to produce Moonshine.
We have a good working relationship with the community and the local Sheriff. We have made him one happy man when the Army material disbursement officer showed up and the Sheriff Department came into the 21st century. He really is a great guy, this is just a poor section of the country and not a lot of tax revenue for the government to "splurge" on any "luxury".
Arriving at the Vance Property the group was warmly greeted and offered a fine mountain cuisine of the "fresh kill" of the day. (The Chaplain had been warned the food tastes fantastic if you don't ask what you are eating.) As the family was sitting down to a late lunch they heard a massive scream coming from the barn and the Chaplain was concerned someone was injured and in much pain. The Chaplain was assured the man was indeed in pain and he was enjoying every minute of it.
One of the Vance "Cuz" was extremely attracted to the Chaplain and offered to take him out and show him the beauty of the hill country. After walking through some beautiful country landscapes and stopping to see a majestic waterfall, the "Cuz" had controlled his hormones long enough and wrapped his arms around the Chaplain and gave him a kiss that left the Chaplain's cock hard and his balls ready to burst. The Cuz wasn't a tease and immediately dropped to his knees and enjoy the flavor of some prime Army Baby Batter.
As our Chaplain returned from Nirvana he was leaned over a downed tree and had the wonderful experience of a long tongue eating his ass as never before. The Chaplain was screaming like a man possessed and he certainly would be shortly. Not knowing a "Mountain Fuck" was only spit for lube, the Chaplain saw a multitude of stars bursting in his mind as a thick young mountain cock went balls deep on the first thrust.
The scream from his mouth sent every animal within a mile running in terror. And, then the flight to Nirvana was on a fighter jet and our Chaplain was screaming words of encouragement and never wanting the young stud to stop. At least when his first orgasm filled his body the leaking cum provided some lube because this stud wasn't stopping at his first orgasm. Before they were done the Chaplain had been fucked non-stop for over 90 minutes and both men lost count of how many orgasms they shared.
As the collapsed on the mossy ground, their eyes met, and they knew this would happen again before the Chaplain had to return to base. Just thinking about how next time it would be his young mountain friend screaming in pleasure had the Chaplains cock rising to the occasion.
Kissing his young friend, it was obvious he was still in the mood. The young Vance was surprised as he was positioned over the fallen tree and the Chaplain used the copious amount of pre-cum as lube before he buried his 10 inch cock balls deep in the body of a screaming Vance nymphomaniac. Before the Chaplain was balls deep the "Cuz" had already had another orgasm.
The only words escaping from his mouth were FUCK ME, FUCK ME AND NEVER STOP! When they finally were exhausted and sexual sated, they collapsed back to the mossy ground and the young Cuz curled up in the arms of the Chaplain and for the first time in his life felt sexual satisfied. "Will you please join me in my bed tonight?" The smile on the Chaplains face made it all too apparent our young Vance would be having problems walking in the morning.
As Luke returned the security team to Fort Connor he "complained" to General Perez the Vance's wouldn't be able to meet their Moonshine quota this month because the Chaplain put one of the Vance Cuz's out of commission for over a week. (And, the Chaplain has a standing invitation to visit them anytime he was free!) You may want to warn the squad that gives our new Chaplain his "Welcome Gang Bang" not to send any "rookies" to do the deed. Even an experienced soldier is going to be walking mighty funning after a night with our new Chaplain. Looks like you have a "keeper"!
Our new Arch-Bishop now knew his Assistant would be accepted by the men of Alpha Zulu and they wouldn't hesitate to ask him for counsel and guidance when the Arch-Bishop was required to be off base.
The Federal Trial of the sex offenders arrested in the Chicago Child Sex Cases were finally drawing to an end. Over 100, local, state and federal officials were arrested, tried, sentenced and were in jail facing the reality that awaited them. We only hoped whatever man decided to make each perp their "bitch"... he was adequate to show the man the pain he caused each child.
With the trial finished, we still had four boys in residence that Doc and the Chaplains were counseling and making progress in healing their minds and bodies. Doc repaired some nasty injuries and it was apparent whatever man caused it, his only interest was in his pleasure. We only hope God repays him 10 fold.
These are the men you want to tie over a fuel drum and then shove a fist up their ass until you are past your elbow. The men of Alpha Zulu had no use for child molesters. There are more than enough adults available to satisfy most consensual sexuality. There is no rationale for molesting a child!
The Democratic Convention was a foregone conclusion... Winthrop Thorpe III was nominated for his second term on the first ballot. He was unopposed in his party. The convention went wild when he nominated General of the Army of the United States Enapay Perez as his running mate for Vice-President. Even the Republicans knew it was a winning ticket and whoever they ran would be going down in a blaze of glory.
Even being "inactive" the General was impressive to the Max in his uniform as he worked the people and met a lot of ordinary citizens who he had served to protect all these years. They had honest concerns and he knew Win would do as much as possible to correct the deficits of unemployment and bigotry which still exists.
On Election Night it was a forgone conclusion with all the polls showing a Democratic WIN in every race. They would not only control the Oval Office but both houses of Congress and the majority of state offices that were being filled this year. The Democratic Party was truly becoming a party of the American People.
Enapay immediately found the deficit of political office, freezing his ass off on a reviewing stand for hours during the inaugural parade. (I sure hope POTUS has some of the Vance's moonshine in his third floor residence because I'll sure be needing some considering the number of inaugural parties we have to attend tonight.)
POTUS and Piero looked super sharp in their "White Tie" Tux, Piero's Neck Chain as the Duke of Bern and Win proudly wearing Piero's family crest. The Knights Templar signet ring given to him by the Worthington was noted and commented on by most of the media present. Piero had no problem admitting his father was the Grand Master of the Knights Templar until he was assassinated. The man dedicated his life to the service of the Holy Catholic Church.
As Win and Piero were attending one
party, I was attending a separate event being given by the Worthington's at the
Marriott Ball Room with Sebastian. Without warning, the Secret Service rushed
in and surrounded us literally dragging us from the room. "What in the hell
is happening?"
"THE PRESIDENT HAS BEEN SHOT!"
As our motorcade rushed to the security of the White House and putting me in the protective "bubble" I wanted a minute by minute status of the condition of my friend... and of course Piero. Either I get it or I'm jumping ship and going and finding out myself.
Less than 24 hours as Vice-President and I'm now the Interim-President of the United States until Win can assume the office if he survives. Win told me I'd have four years to learn the ropes and then decide if I wanted to run for President. This isn't what I signed on for... instant on the job training!
Learning that Win was in surgery and it would be hours before we knew the extent of the injuries and the prognosis. I knew the best minds in medicine would be called in to provide care for the President. I needed to let the country know we had continuity of Government and Washington was still functioning.
I immediately called a cabinet meeting and advised every cabinet secretary NOTHING WAS TO CHANGE! It is business as usual when we open up in the morning. Next was the military and as my partner was joined at the hip with SecDef preparing to take over in a few days as his replacement I knew the Military would support any decision I made.
Now, the scariest part I would never be prepared for... facing the White House Sharks and knowing every media outlet in the country would be sharing it with every house in the United States and around the World. I had to show a confirmed commitment and strong leadership to the people. I was not allowed to have any emotion. As I function in lieu of my good friend, my personal feeling could no longer apply. I would be Winthrop Thorp III and make him proud he chose me as his Vice-President.
Sebastian cornered me after my last Press Briefing and told me I hadn't eaten or had anything to drink in over 14 hours. Now, sit down and eat something or I'll have the White House Doctor start feeding you with an IV. You'll find a Virginia Smoked Ham sandwich and an Ice Cold Coke-Cola a much better choice.
Finally, the hospital announced the President was out of surgery and would be in recovery for some time. His condition was guarded and the doctors were optimistic... which is their slang for it could go either way.
I wanted the head of the Secret Service in my office NOW! "What in the hell happened and who was guarding the President?" One of the guests who had been vetted by the Secret Service somehow managed to get a gun past all of our metal detectors and when he got within range of the President emptied a clip of Armor Piercing Bullets into the President. If it hadn't been for the diamonds in his breast badge he so proudly wears he would have been killed by a direct bullet to his heart. The Worthington Ceramic armor isn't totally effective against this type of ammunition. The agents on his detail are on administrative suspension and there will be a thorough review to determine if all protocols were followed and/or if we need to revise our protocols.
Before the night was over, Win was back in surgery and the doctors weren't optimistic as to his chances for survival. If he survives, it will be with a long period of rehabilitation. The Cabinet Meeting the next morning wanted to invoke the 25th amendment to the Constitution and grant me the full powers of the Presidency. Even knowing I now hold the nuclear codes and the authorization to launch Armageddon, definitely wasn't in the briefing books given to us since the election. THIS WAS DEFINITELY "ON THE JOB" TRAINING!
Piero, what about Piero... he has to be devastated and terrified of losing his partner in life. Telling the Secret Service I WOULD be going to the hospital and to do whatever they needed to do but this wasn't a request it was me advising them it would happen.
Seeing a devastated Piero in the conference room, he came running into my arms and finally broke down from stress, exhaustion and the fear of losing the man he loves. I assured Piero the best doctors in the country were with Win and the prayers of the Nation and around the world were also. The Pope said a special Mass for Win last night so we have as a diverse religious culture praying to God to help Win on the road to recovery.
You my young friend are coming with me back to the White House, take a shower, change your clothes, eat a good meal, at least a few hours of sleep and then I'll have the Secret Service return you to the hospital. If anything changes with Win, the Secret Service will notify me, and we will immediately transport you back. But, in this condition you are no good to anyone.
As Piero and I entered the Beast the reporters were truly Sharks after us "chum". Piero was beyond exhaustion and once in the Beast collapsed into my arms in uncontrollable tears. Why, Why... All he wanted was to help people! "We may never know Piero, all we can do is wait and pray for God to help us in our hour of need."
I need your help, you know everything Win was doing and was planning on doing. I take my role as continuing the work he has started and wants to continue. Win is the President for as long as he is alive and I only am here to continue his objectives and programs. So, if you see me straying from what Win would have done, PLEASE... TELL ME!
To say the White House Staff was emotionally traumatized is an understatement. As I tried to rally the troops I emphatically stated it was "business as usual"... I had no intention of changing any policy of President Thorp. However I can assist you, please let me know. My Chief of Staff will function in lieu of Piero until President Thorp has recovered sufficiently and they both can return to the White House.
I needed a Chief of Staff that knew Washington Politics and had a high enough security clearance I didn't have to worry about any congressional retaliation. Asking my secretary to connect me with T&T Worthington NOW!
OK, you two malingers. I need you at the White House even if it means you getting out of bed before 1000 hours! MOVE IT!
As T&T entered the Oval Office, I knew they hadn't gotten much sleep either. I hate to dump on you, but I need your help, the nation needs your help and for the sake of Win please say YES? I want you two to function as my Chief of Staff and keep this office running like Win would want it to run. I know you two can share a desk and function as a team so say YES and I'll introduce you to our team.
Before they could even answer, I thanked them for helping out in this emergency. Let's go meet this team Win has put together to run the nation.
I thought Luke and John were going to stroke out when I announced at the morning press briefing I was appointing T&T Worthington as my Chiefs of Staff until the President was able to return to the White House and his partner could resume his role as his Chief of Staff.
By the end of the first day T&T were commenting they now knew why Yuuto has a Koi tank in his office and residence. It may be a worth while investment for the Penthouse.
When my mind could finally grasp the events of the past few days, I realized I had to contact our HR Dream Team and get them moving on finding our replacement for Fort Connor and Alpha Zulu. Another major project to "juggle" and one I would never want to face Win and tell him I failed. I told our HR Dream Team I didn't care how much Coffee it takes to keep you functioning I want a list of candidates within the next 36 hours. Do you understand? YES SIR!
Win was back in surgery for the third time and each time Piero's heart sank lower and lower. He felt so helpless and I could feel his agony. I had lost soldiers in combat and they knew the risks and they weren't "family". Piero's agony had to be beyond understanding and there was nothing I could do to help him.
Perhaps there is? Asking OPS to put me in contact with the Base Commander at Fort Connor, I requested our Arch-Bishop be immediately transported to the Hospital to help Piero through this devastating event. CONSIDER IT DONE!
Within the hour, Arch-Bishop Emmanuel entered the hospital which caused the media to speculate incorrectly he had arrived to give the President "Last Rites". To the contrary, not only did Johann help Piero with his stress... as he blessed Win... Win made a miraculous improvement in his recovery and for the first time the doctors were optimistic the President would survive.
Piero and Johann walked to the Hospital Chapel and together gave thanks to God for his loving mercy in allowing our friend to survive and be a loving partner and the Christian Leader he is.
Talk about long hours, even being an Interim-President is like pulling continual all nighters cramming for final exams at West Point with no end in sight. Win knew what he was doing when he added me to his ticket. He knew if anything happened to him, I would continue his programs and goals for this great country. At least with Sebastian returning from the Pentagon each night and his love and intense stress management sessions I knew I'd make it through and no one was happier when the Doctors finally told the media THE PRESIDENT WOULD SURVIVE!
He'll have a long recovery but barring any complications he would make a complete recovery. (Where does Win hide his 20 year old single malt Scotch. It is time to celebrate!)
For the first time in over a week I got a fantastic night of sleep and actually had a romantic night of love with my partner in life. With Sebastian and T&T at my side we could face and surmount any problem. I had to smile when T&T contacted Luke & John and informed them to have Yuuto add a large Koi tank to the Penthouse and it needed to be done expediently.
Within my 36 hours deadline our HR Dream Team gave me a list of potential candidates to assume the role of Commanding Generals of the Alpha Zulu program. Now to really ruin the day for Luke and John... I asked them to join me at the White House for dinner and be ready to serve your country.
As T&T looked quizzically when I invited them for dinner with Sebastian and myself... I conveniently forgot to advise them their sons Luke and John would also be attending. After a meal of far less quality than we are served at Fort Connor and/or by the Marriott Chef I admitted it was now time to talk business. Handing Luke and John the portfolios of the men selected by our HR Dream Team, they will be transported to your conference room in 48 hours and I want you to interview them and recommend two of them to replace Sebastian and me. And, I want good and sound rationale and I want you thinking with the head above your shoulders. (Which made everyone roar in laughter!)
Final approval of the men selected will be done when T&T, Sebastian and I personally interview and approve your selection so make certain you have sound rationale. And, this is definitely not the time to be sipping the Vance's moonshine during your interview breaks.
Luke and John realized the importance of the task given them and they thanked me for my trust in their judgement in selecting replacements for Alpha Zulu. Luke and John personally knew the value of Alpha Zulu and knew the men they selected had to be a dedicated leaders of the program and of the unique men in it.
Finally, Win was conscious and stable in the Intensive Care Unit... Piero was allowed to see him for only five minutes every hour. I informed Piero to tell Win not to worry about work, I will carry on his programs and his agenda. His only concern is healing and taking this office back from me. He guaranteed me a four year training course not "on the job" training.
I sincerely hoped the assassin was burning in the fires of hell... if you disagree with policy, then run for the office and if the majority support you... CHANGE IT! But, don't kill the men who will invest their time and lives to help make this country great. That isn't how a democracy works.
Luke and John invested more time and energy in interviewing the candidates to lead Alpha Zulu than they did to select a Division President for Worthington Industries. They knew the impact the men they chose would have on the men of Alpha Zulu and more importantly the imps the program is designed to protect.
Surprisingly, the two men they recommended to us were a "lowly" Master Sargent and a newly promoted Captain. Both men showed outstanding leadership ability and combined with the fact there was a high inclination they were gay definitely helped with the decision making.
A "Command Performance" before the "President" of the United States, The Secretary of Defense and the two senior members of the Worthington Dynasty had both men terrified beyond belief. The first question out of Sebastian's mouth when we interviewed each man individually was to ask them to disclose their sexual preference.
To be grilled by the President and his team for over an hour definitely leaves any person in the military quaking in their "boots". As both men sat pensively outside of the Oval Office as we four discussed each of them they were now ready for the shock of their lives.
Asking the two men to return to the Oval Office, we suggest you sit down so you don't fall over. I am recommending to the Senate to confirm you as the Commanding Generals of Alpha Zulu with the rank of General of the Army of the United States. And, also Ambassadors at Large for the President. Be back here in dress uniforms at 0900 hours sharp so you can face down the White House "Sharks". Then you'll be off to the Pentagon for intense sessions of orientation. Once you are fitted for your new uniforms, we will transport you to Fort Connor for the formal "Changing of Command" ceremony. WELCOME TO OUR WORLD!
As the White House Press Secretary had her morning briefing to the "Sharks" I stuck my head in and ask if I could have a few minutes of their time. "Ladies and Gentlemen, the Interim President of the United States."
One of the items President Thorp had high on his agenda to do in the first 100 days of his 2nd Term was to replace the vacancies created in the Alpha Zulu program by my election as Vice-President and General Guerrero accepting the position of the Secretary of Defense.
Knowing the standards President Thorp wanted in the men selected, we feel we have found two men to replace us and continue the program and policies of the Alpha Zulu program. I am today submitting to the Senate Master Sergeant Anthony Ashanti and Captain Akecheta Bidzel be confirmed as the Commanding Generals of the Alpha Zulu program. The sharks went for the kill!
For the next hour I felt like I had put a poor goldfish in the tank with a Great White Shark. The men did fantastic and they had a better idea of what they would be facing in the future. Our political party controlled both houses of Congress, so approval was a given. The biggest challenge they would face is acceptance by the men of Alpha Zulu.
Win issued a press release from his hospital bed supporting the men selected and praising his administrative team for following through on his agenda for his first 100 days of his second term. The Senate committee spent 8 hours interviewing my nominees and approved their nomination to the full Senate. Within 48 hours the two men were elevated to the two highest ranking (now active) positions in the United States Army. We now had six living Six Star Generals and I breathed easier being "inactive" for the first time. Alpha Zulu would live to face a new day.
The new Generals had the unique experience of being fitted for their new uniform by our friendly tailor and their unique Ambassador uniforms which they would hate as much as every person who proceeded them. They boarded Air Force one with Sebastian and me as we escorted them to Fort Connor for the formal changing of command. I now know how a father feels giving away his daughter. She would always be family but with a different man in her life. I now had a nation to run and a President to help on the road to return to the White House.
When the doctors and Piero finally let Win work TWO hours a day which at least let me clarify questions I had about how to address some program changes he desired. Win knew I was doing my best, but this wasn't the timeline we both had in our minds when I signed onto his team.
I took the time and walked the grounds of Fort Connor with the new Generals and warned them you can be putting your life in jeopardy when you inspect the imps "bunker". To my surprise, it was spotless. The Command Master Sergeant smiled and commented the imps were promised a big bowl of homemade vanilla ice cream with homemade hot fudge topping if their living quarters were clean and met standards. One just has to know how to motivate imps.
Also, I hope you have advised our new Commanding Generals the necessity of always having a few doggie treats in their pocket whenever they are out of their office. They don't want to learn this trick the hard way... Our Wolf Dogs remember who owes them treats and they will collect.
The Formal Changing of Command ceremony was a real "tear jerker" for Sebastian and me. These are our friends and they will always be our friends and now we are giving them to new leaders. I pray our selections will only improve this program which has helped so many.
As the Generals walked Sebastian and me back to Air Force One they commented as they pointed at our Flying Billboard... "That `monster' actually flies?" It is a better plane than Air Force One and I'd swap you any day if you can get the Secret Service to sign off on it. Also, find time to read the personal comments of previous Commanders and you'll get a much better understanding of Alpha Zulu and when you doubt if what is written actually has happened. It has!
One last word of advice, never get in the way of imps as they are running to the mess hall. It will be suicidal and we aren't ready to replace two Generals we truly believe are the right men for the job.
"God Speed" as Sebastian and I flew off into the evening sunset and returned to the political battles of Washington.
It was four months before the doctors would let Win return to the White House and his role as President and leader of the free world. Initially, they would only let him work four hours a day and he depended upon me to follow through the rest of the time. Eventually, I would have the time to orientate into my role as Vice-President and actually have some down time to enjoy quality time with my partner when he wasn't being the Secretary of Defense.
Considering if I decided to run for President when Win completes his eight years it will be 12 years Sebastian and I will have to juggle our personal life and make it second to the personal life we both desire. We enlisted in the Army to serve our country but never imagined we would be serving as the major leaders of the United States.
One thing is for certain, when Win is finally released for full time work as POTUS, Sebastian and I are going to take a long trip and when we return, he will have knocked me up!
