White House, Washington DC
Beth Kimbal brought coffee that her queen requested a set it on the Resolute desk that was residing in the oval office once again. Being Heather's personal handmaiden, she had to get the queen anything she wanted, even if Heather could simply reach her hand out and pick it up herself. Heather dressed in a fancy red dress didn't even look at the coffee that was as black as her heart or at Beth, she just continued to look at a vanilla folder that contents were for her eyes only. Beth didn't know why Heather choose to keep the desk, one reason could be that it was a gift from Queen Victoria to the United States in 1880, but the reason Beth felt it was still there was because Heather would rather spend her time oppressing the general population than spend her time redecorating the Oval Office, but if Heather asked she wouldn't say the later because she didn't want to end up like Heather's first handmaiden. Beth shuttered at the thought. She almost dropped the coffee pot when she noticed that Heather had put down the folder and was staring at her with a glaze that a cobra would envy.
Beth wondered what she did that caused Heather to stare at her intently, all she knew was that it didn't have to do with the coffee because Heather's cup still sat where Beth had placed it.
" Look at them….Beth" Heather said in a spiteful tone.
Heather turned her back to Beth and started to stare out of the center window behind her.
"Look at who my Queen" Beth said in a relived tone.
Heather turned back to Beth and gave her a look that seemed like she was seeing Beth's inner most thoughts and secrets. Beth cursed at herself mentally for showing a sign of relief because now Heather would continue to stare at her knowing it caused her discomfort.
" Those people out there…they don't appreciate what I do for them."
Beth nodded her head in agreement. There was a long pause, until Heather stated "Your dismissed return to your chamber until I need your services again" Heather turned back to staring out of the middle window behind the desk. Beth was about to go until she was interrupted by Heather
" Oh, and Beth please do take this coffee off my desk, it is starting to become cool."
"Yes my Queen" Beth said as she picked up the cup and wondered how Heather knew it was getting cool without drinking it.
She almost ran into Justin who just entered the Oval Office as she was exiting it, but lucky she moved out of the way just in time. Beth would have hated to be the person who spilt coffee on the head of the FBI, who was know for his good looks and sour disposition.
"I can hear that your still wearing those loafers your sister got you for Christmas Justin." said Heather as she turned around and smiled evilly at the thought that she could inspire fear into someone as well built as Justin.
A look of shock spread across his face
"How did you know it was me and not an assassin out to kill you my Queen."
She laughed, but to Justin it sounded like a cackle.
" An assassin wouldn't wear squeaky loafers, that they got for Christmas my dear Justin."
Justin turns red in the face, but doesn't say anything because even though he was man with a lot of power, he was nothing compared to the queen.
" I will forgive your pathetic Christmas gift because like always you are an hour early."
Justin face turns back to it's normal shade of tan
" Thank you for the compliment my Queen, but I am only following the advice of Benjamin Franklin. Early to bed, early to rise makes a man wealthy and wise."
Heather roles her eyes because Justin says that every time she made a comment about him being early to a meeting
" It is indeed obvious that you know that quote by heart."
Heather would have toyed with Justin more, but he was a good at what he did for her country and she intended that his talent didn't fall into any other hands. Heather wouldn't admit that though because she didn't want to Justin to have something to hold over her head. Anyways he wasn't halfway as good as his predecessor, though he had a better attitude then the former head of the FBI.
As what seemed like hours of small talk with Justin, the rest of the government and military officials took their seats in the Oval Office and Heather could undergo the meeting that could possibly change the future of the USA, it's newly acquired countries, and the rest of the globe.
Joe's Pub, Wawanakwa Island, Canada
Courtney Featherson is slumped over the bar drinking some cheap wine straight out of the bottle. Everything about her is a mess, her brown hair is a mess, her uniform is a mess, her makeup is a mess, and her life is a mess. Courtney looks to her left and see's a woman that looks exactly like her, but she is wearing a very expensive suit and her physical apprence was not a mess.
"What are you looking at ?" says Courtney in a slurred voice.
The other woman replies " A poor excuse of a person that seems to be drunk on wine that this hairy baboon, who calls itself barkeep made in his toilet."
Courtney looks from the lady to the halfway empty bottle, puts it to her lips and takes, another swig of the wine. The other lady looks at Courtney with disgust.
" What happened to you Court ?" Courtney laughs and almost falls off the bar stool.
" You want to know what happened to me, Heather happened to me. She took away my job as de-rector of the FIB and stuck me in this winter wasteland. Now I am captain of the guard in a fucking work camp… A FUCKING WORK CAMP. I am Courtney S. Featherson… I was Val Victorian and President of my high school class, graduated with high honors from Yale, and was the best female agent to pass through the gate of the FBI Academy since Clarice Starling. How in God's name did I end up working in this shithole.
There was an awkward silence and then other lady said " You took the eyes off the prize"
Courtney was about to respond when she realized she was talking to a mirror and the barkeep had her by the scruff of the neck and was dragging her outside. Courtney finished the wine that she was still holding in her hand and started to giggle.
The barkeep yelled " Captain Courtney S. Featherson for the last time…STAY OUT OF MY BAR!!!
He drops her on the curb and on the way back to the bar he turns around and tells her " A cab is on it's way to take you back to the work camp…while you are waiting, you should fucking pull yourself together, you look like shit."
After giving his advice, he closes the door behind him .
Courtney S. Featherson didn't have time to pull herself together because she was to busy puking her guts out. She gets into the cab and it takes her back to the base. She wobbles out of the cab after paying the fare and into her private bedroom. Courtney lays down on her bed smelling like puke and failure, she then slams her head on her pillow and begins to cry herself to sleep. Courtney woke up the next morning with a massive hangover.
Paris, France
Noah Tennenbaum watched the streets of Paris from his hotel balcony. Usually the streets would be filled with American tourists, but wide tree- lined boulevards and parasol-shaded cafes were mostly empty. For most French citizens August was a time for vacation, a month long break from government jobs, factory floors, and schools. The American tourists that usually would have taken their place were gone, too discouraged by Heather's strict visa restrictions and her dislike of foreign powers to bother to travel to France.
Noah put a cigarette in between his lips, took a breath and then exhaled the smoke. Smoking was a bad habit he picked up her in France, people said smoking kills, but Noah didn't care. He would have been dead right now if the American Ambassador from France hadn't risked his life sneaking him into Paris. He was grateful to John-Claude for that, he owed the French man his life and he would do anything in his power to repay him.
It started to storm, so Noah went inside the hotel and thought what he wanted to later today. He canceled out going to the Eiffel Tower because of the weather and he didn't want to go see the paintings in the Louvre again. Even though Noah knew it is impossible to see all of the paintings in the Louvre in one lifetime, he was starting to tire of viewing the museum. He thought maybe he would pay the former American Ambassador a visit.
He grabbed his coat and was heading towards the door, when he heard knocking on his door. He figured it was the press coming to interview the President that ruined America, but when he walked over and looked through the peephole and saw Joan-Claude and a strange woman with him. Noah knew that the lady was to young to be Joan-Claude's wife and he already had a girlfriend so he would have to tell the Frenchman that he didn't need to find one.
When Noah opened the door his old friend kissed him on both cheeks. Noah then looked at the woman and Noah got a good look at her easily distinguishable face, when she kissed him on both cheeks. His cigarette fell out of his mouth and onto the floor. Joan-Claude stepped on the cigarette and said
" My friend I.... pardon my rudeness... We need a favor. "
Noah stood there dumbstruck.
