The White House

I woke up at exactly 7:30a.m, I was so excited about the party today. After brushing my teeth, I skipped downstairs happily to have breakfast. Mum and dad were already at the table drinking coffee as usual. Most people think I'm weird when I tell them I hate coffee, I just can't bring myself to like the taste talk more of being addicted to it.
"Merry Christmas mum, dad" I said.
"Merry Christmas honey. How was your night?"dad said.
"It was fine thanks".
"I see you're excited about today" mum said, giving me a big smile.
"So excited" I grinned.

I tried contacting the Williams but it kept going to their voicemail. By now, I was beyond frustrated and absolutely had no idea what to do.Just then, one of the secret service agents- agent Dylan rushed in panting heavily. "Mr president, we've just received word that the Christmas party the first daughter is attending has been hijacked and she's been kidnapped to an undisclosed location". " What!" I shouted, knocking my chair over. "Report reaching us now is that no fewer than twenty persons have been confirmed dead including agents harry and bob" agent Dylan said,with voice so strained.

Earlier, having discovered who Joel was I decided to keep that discovery to myself at least for my daughter's sake. I had a fake moustache and a black cap shielding part of my eyes to avoid passers by wondering what on earth their president was doing in such a place without an escort.It was a miracle that I managed to escape from the white house without any of the security agents knowing. Somehow, agent dylan who was present when joel's call came in decided to keep this meeting a secret.It was twenty minutes past six, Joel was late and by now I was already restless. I was just heading back to my car, calling it quits when a voice said from behind. "I wouldn't try that if I were you". Startled, I came face to f

28th December, 1998(mid day)The WarehouseLanaI woke up with a start, having no idea where I was. I was blindfolded and gagged. I tried adjusting my sitting position but I was rewarded with a severe pain. I felt hopeless as tears ran down my eyes. I didn't know who these men were, I only hoped my parents were working on my release because I didn't want to spend another day in this evil place.Just then, the door burst open as I heard footsteps approaching. The blindfold was roughly pulled away as my eyes slowly adjusted to the light in the room. Two heavily built men with masks covering their faces stared down at me with menacing eyes. "The boss wants you" one of the men said, in a hoarse voice as the other removed my binds.I was led to a well furnished living room with floor to ceiling windows, the most beautiful chandelier I had ever seen and an indoor pool at my far r

What I was about to do was a taboo, a first lady shouldn't be seen with a hooligan as James.James Roberts is one of the most dangerous men in the United States, wanted for various crimes. Its still a mystery he hasn't been caught. Not only is he smart, but also very devious. A tall lean man with heavy beards and stormy blue eyes, he could have been one of the most handsome men in the country except for his dark heart and the only thing;James Roberts was a killer.We went to school together but we weren't really close until he dropped out along the way and I never heard from him until I searched him up and found him.A native of Detroit, he grew up in the slums and mostly survived on odd jobs.

A Queen size bed stood at the center of the room, a standing mirror was attached to the wall and to complement it gold tiles adorned the floor giving it a regal look. "I hope you like it miss Lana" JG said. "Its fine...Why do I have this room?. I mean, I'm a prisoner here and clearly this room is something else" I said. Chuckling, he said; "Beautiful you mean. Just know that I have no grudges against you. I'm only keeping you here until your father settles his debt". "You keep speaking of a debt, if its monetary I can easily repay as I've got some money stashed away. Any amount at all Mr Gustav" I pleaded.He laughed, a booming laugh which temporarily caught me off guard. I never knew such a dangerous man had the spiri

31st December, 1998The White HousePresident Freddie RawlingsYou know the feeling of being empty, the feeling of not knowing what to do. A feeling of nothingness, well that's how I felt at this moment.

Joel's warning still rang in my ears fresh as the day.Resigning would be a very hard thing to do but the consequences of not doing what he wants could be worse.
