New York City

"Trevor!" Cable shook him. "Wake up!"

"Huh?" Trevor opened one eye and looked up at her.

"Get up!" She gave him one last shake and headed out the door. "There's something you have to see! Hurry up!"

Trevor mumbled and crawled out of bed. He stumbled into the living area of Cable's apartment to find her sitting on the couch with her eyes glued to the television screen. "What’s so important?" he grumbled. He flopped down beside her and leaned back to close his eyes.

"That!" She slapped him on the arm. "Mom's on the news!"

"What?" He looked up just in time to see a commercial come on. "Where?"

"It's all about some big party in Washington last night. The President and everybody were there–and Mom was too!"

"What was Mom doing with the President?"

"Hush!" She slapped his arm again. "Here it is!"

The newsman's face filled the screen. "Last night in Washington, at the home of billionaire Victor Vinsetti, the President made a surprise announcement."

The scene switched to what looked like an enormous ballroom full of people. The President was standing in front of a microphone with a band behind him. The First Lady stood off to his right. The newsman's voice described the event.

"At a reception at the home of Victor Vinsetti, the President announced that he had appointed Mr. Vinsetti as the next Secretary of State."

The scene cut away to one of the President and Victor shaking hands, standing on the stage together as the crowd applauded.

"There was enthusiastic approval for the President's appointee from the numerous political figures in attendance at last night's event."

The camera scanned out over the crowd of people, stopping on many well-known faces. Trevor was now sitting straight up as he watched closely. The moment he heard Victor's name, he was wide awake. Leaning forward, he watched closely, searching for Morgan's face.

"I didn't see her anywhere," he said, looking over at Cable. "Are you sure she was there?"

As he spoke, he saw Cable's eyes widen. "Look! There she is!"

Trevor looked at the television. Sure enough, there was Morgan taking Victor's hand to step up on the stage beside him.

"Wow!" Cable said. "Doesn't she look beautiful, Trevor? Wonder where she got that dress? Hey! Do you see that necklace she has on?"

"Shut up for a minute!" Trevor said and turned up the volume. The anchorman's voice cut off to be replaced by the sound of Victor's proposal to Morgan and her acceptance.

"What the hell?" Trevor bolted to his feet. "She can't marry him! She's already married to Dad. What the hell does she think she's doing? Has she lost her frigging mind?"

Cable looked up at him with her mouth hanging open. "Holy shit, Trevor, what's going on?"

"I don't know, but I'm sure as hell going to find out!"

"Hey, wait a minute!" She grabbed his arm as he marched by the couch. "What do you think you're going to do?"

"I'm gonna go find Mom and knock some sense in her head, that's what!"

Jerking free, he marched into the bedroom and threw on his clothes.
