"Boss, we've got a serious problem." Ben announced, walking into her office. It wasn't even 9am yet and no one had brought her coffee, so putting up with whatever it was that had Ben's panties in a bunch this morning was not going to come easily.

"Ben, everything is a serious problem with you. You need to chill out. This election is pretty much won by now." Someone put a cup of coffee on her desk, almost as if they had read her mind. It was black and unsweetened and she sighed because of it. She missed having Shaundi bring her coffee. At least she knew that Am loved any fancy iced concoction that was full of weird sugary syrups. And don't even get her started on pumpkin spiced lattes…

"This could pretty much hand Hughes the win." Am rolled her eyes at the mention of that woman.

"I very much doubt that."

"Someone said they have a sex tape. Of you." Am laughed. She had been expecting this and it was quite overdue.

"Which one?" Ben's eyes pretty much bulged out of his head.

"Which one?! What do you mean which one!?" He shouted at her and she just leaned back in her chair, propping her legs up on the table.

"There's definitely two. Maybe three, but I'm not sure about the last one."

"How are you so calm about this?!" He sat himself down across from her, clearly trying to calm himself.

"Because they threaten to release it like twice a year, try to get money out of me, I tell them that I don't care and they leave it. Honestly, just ignore them. They won't do anything."

"This is a serious problem, Boss!" He slammed his fist on the table, trying to get his point across.

"It really isn't. They give you a phone number or an email address this time?" He just looked at her in complete shock.

"What's on your mind, Ben?" She took her legs off the table and leaned toward him.

"I just… How did this even happen?"

"When a man or a woman loves a woman very much…" She started, smirking. Ben just shook his head at her.

"Playa, I don't want the sex talk from you."

"How do you think it happened? I was young and stupid and forgot that there are cameras in public places." Ben just groaned and put his head in his hands. Amwas very much enjoying this. She always forgot how little shame she really had when it came to sex and how uncomfortable it made other people.

"You forgot there were cameras…" He echoed back to her, still in shock. Am just shrugged.

"Ben, we've all done it. Grow up." She picked up her phone and motioned for him to pass her the paper with the phone number on it. He glared at her as she typed in digits and held the phone up to her ear. After three rings, the man on the other end picked up.

"You ready to talk figures?"

"It's nice to hear from you again. I thought this year you'd finally give this up."

"I had to wait until the perfect moment."

"And my answer still hasn't changed. I still don't care. In fact, you should release them and we'll spilt the profits." She could see Ben waving his arms at her and making hand gestures, but she spun around in her chair to ignore him.

"…What?"

"They're shitty videos anyway, so we probably wouldn't make that much money, but then again I could release the names of the other people in them, that could bag us a little more in public interest…"

"I…"

"…You can barely even tell that it's me, so I don't think it would sell all that well. I think I'd do better getting it professionally done, you know proper lighting and makeup and stuff…."

"Okay, okay!" Am smiled. She knew this was coming.

"So you'll stop trying to blackmail the future President of the United States?"

"Yes. I'll stop."

"Good boy. I'll talk to you in six months." She put the phone down on him and turned back to Ben.

"See, no big deal."

"I'm still trying to process what just happened."

"It's just some guy who lives in his mom's basement who was scanning security cameras for dirt on high profile people in Stilwater. I wasn't even who he was looking for."

"Then who was he looking for?" Am bit her lip. He'd been the only person who had publicly acknowledged that he knew about her arrangement with Troy. But she wasn't about to tell Ben that. She obviously couldn't just show up at his apartment or meet him out of work, so they'd arrange to meet in places they couldn't get caught. Or so they thought.

"He's dead, it doesn't matter." Ben raised an eyebrow at her.

"And the other person?" Johnny. Now that one had been super careless, but it always was with him. They'd run out of surfaces in Purgatory and both their houses so they'd taken to finding new places around Stilwater.

"Dead. Are you seeing a pattern here?"

"That you're either a real life black widow, or you have really shitty luck."

"I try not to think about it too much." Am stood. "So can we get on with some actual work, or are we going to sit here discussing my sex life all day?"
