The White House
Now in his third week as President of the United States, Roy Griffin stepped off the treadmill in the White House gym and used a towel to wipe the sweat running down his face. Running five miles inside was unlike running five miles outside.
Outside you could smell nature, see small creatures scurry out of your way, wipe rain out of your eyes, watch the sunrise, the list was endless. Inside all he could do was monitor the various news feeds on the TV monitor placed in the gym, or read briefing papers. Boring. Unlike Bill Clinton, the Secret Service would not allow him to run on the streets anymore. Too many crazies with an agenda only they knew about.
As he walked toward the door leading to the resident’s quarters, a familiar figure joined him as he walked.
“Good morning, Joseph.”
“Good morning, Mr. President.”
“You’re here awfully early.”
“First day back in Washington, sir. I wanted to get an early start.”
Grinning, Griffin glanced at his new National Security Advisor. “Bullshit, Joseph. Don’t start lying to me this early in your tenure.”
Joseph Kincaid laughed. “What I really wanted to do was to talk to you before it got too hectic around here. I have an update on what Sean Kruger has learned about the problem you asked him to check out.”
Both men stopped walking. Griffin frowned, “Is it bad?”
Nodding, Joseph said in a voice barely above a whisper, “I wouldn’t use the word bad, but it’s not good either.”
“Let’s go to my private study and we can discuss it there.”
