Much later the President turned to John Gilly at the luau in the President’s honor that evening. “I was surprised not to have roast suckling pig. Not that Beijing Duck isn’t welcome.”

John Gilly laughed. “Sir, Professor Kinsella dictated the menu.”

The President looked at him, frowning.

John Gilly kissed his Naval career goodbye. “Sir, she’s serving you dead duck.”

“Ah! I don’t suppose one of the legs was broken?”

“A lame dead duck? I think she takes that as a given.”

“Well, in eight months or so, the new presidential campaign starts in earnest. The only way that I’m a dead duck now derails Ad Astra. The only way I get to be a lame duck is if I decide not to run, which isn’t going to happen, or a couple of years from now if I win the election.”

“What was the new proposal she gave you, sir?” John asked.

The President smiled thinly. “It’s well above your pay-grade, John. Way beyond. A few minutes ago I was thinking that if I didn’t run, I could leave this to my successor. Except you don’t get where I am unless you have an ego a mile wide and a mile deep. I’ll find a way to deal with it.”

“Deal with what, sir?” John asked.

The President smiled and shook his head.
