FANTASTIC FIVE
VOL 1. ONLY THE BEGINNING
CHAPTER 3: THE MEETING
After the disturbing *Incident* that took place between President Stillson and Phillip Kopus, Lilly is still upset and embarrassed that her husband would do something so disrespectful that would lead them both into serious trouble.
Lilly is crying in one of the guest rooms as to Phillip is trying to get pass an agent guarding the door. The Agent isn't afraid of the size of Phillip. He stands his ground and did his job.
"Come on man, let me through. I need to talk to my wife" Phillip said
The agent place his hand on Phillip's chest and said, "Sir, I advise you to step back and leave"
Phillip looks down at the Agent's hand on his chest as to the Agent feels NOW scared as hell. The lump in his throat made a "gulp" sound. Phillip looks back up at the agent with INTENSE eye contact.
"I advise you to take your damn hand off of me before something awful happens to it"
The agent takes his hand away and runs away from Phillip. "Yeah, you better run" he said
Phillip opens the door and sees his wife Lilly wiping her tears then she put her glasses back on. Lilly looks the other way as to Phillip walks over and sat next to her on the black leather sofa.
Damn, I'm lost for words. I really screw up today. I really "pissed" off my wife. (Sigh) How can I fix this? I need to apologize. I can't loose her. Not today. Not EVER.
Pffft! I wish he just leave me "alone" I don't have nothing to say to him! (Sigh) He's trying so hard to apologize. Maybe I should hear him out. MAYBE.
"Lilly I...I..." Phillip is not great on apologizes. Its definitely his low standards. But he does apologizes to the people he cares about. Why is it so damn hard now to apologize to his wife?
Lilly folded her arms and said, "I'm waiting Phillip"
"Oh baby you know I'm not good of apologizing" he said
Lilly glances at him, "But you always apologize to me"
"Yeah I know" "I'm sorry for being an asshole today"
Lilly smiles and said, "You mean it?"
"I truly mean it" he said as he takes her hand and kisses it. "I love you Lilly and I would NEVER ever hurt you that way again"
That made Lilly so happy and so proud of her husband. "Never" say "Never" The word "never" would come back and haunt him.
Phillip leans forward and kisses his wife.
President Stillson has a neck brace around his neck. His voice is a bit hoarse and he's not in the best of mood after what he's been through.
Stillson wants Phillip Kopus behind bars after what he just did to him! ! As much as he feels right now, he doesn't have the nerve to do it. He oppose to give him a fair "warning"
Lilly and Phillip walked in the Oval office. Stillson stands up, holding his neck brace and walk over towards them. Phillip smiles and was very happy to see The President injured.
The son of a bitch is still breathing. world would have been betterwithout him. Shit, I'm not afraid of prison. I SURVIVED it. Phillip said to himself.
President Stillson and Phillip stands face to face. Agent Carlisle steps in closer as Stillson signal him to "stand back" Duncan followed the President's orders and moved back.
"Phillip Kopus, I'm giving you a fair share warning not to put your goddamn hands on me again. If you do, I have no attentions but to send you to Federal Prison for assulting the President of the United States"
Phillip smiles and chuckled under his breath of hearing the hoarse voice of Stillson. President Stillson continues talking and said, "If you apologize for your actions, then we could put this all behind us"
Phillip looks at Lilly. Lilly nodded as Phillip rolled his eyes and looks right at the President.
"I..."Phillip blows out a breath of air and calmly says, "I apologize for my actions. It will never happen again. I promise"
"Never say never Phillip but...at least you have the BALLS to apologize"
Phillip snares and clutches his fist! This asshole is asking for it! He's fucking pushing my "buttons"!
Lilly looks at the President like "Excuse me?" Lilly is understanding why her husband doesn't like the President. She wanted to tell Stillson off but she couldn't. Lilly feels bad that she couldn't stand up for her husband. It made her feel WEAK.
"Now if you don't mind, Lilly and I have a lot to discuss"
Phillip glanced at Lilly then he turned and walked out the Oval office while Agent Carlisle is behind him to make sure he's escorted out.
Meanwhile...back at F5 headquarters Dr. Claire Morgan is putting her medical supplies away. Trying to get her mind off things. Especially off Elway. He didn't have the nerve to tell her right away. She really didn't care that Elway and Chloe slept together 6 months ago. It didn't even struck a "nerve".
A *Door knock* on the office door. She turned around and sees that its Derek.
"Your okay Claire?" he asked
Claire smile and nodded, "I'm good"
"Your sure?"
"I'm sure Derek. I'm fine" she said
Derek walk towards her and said, "I was trying to warn you about him"
Claire rolled her eyes and said, "Ugh Derek I don't want to hear it alright. Not now"
"Okay. Your right, I'm sorry. But, I think you should consider just maybe someone that would treat you right and have the most respect for you"
Claire looks curious at Morgan. Wondering of who he was talking to. I know he's not talking about Daryl Dixon. He's RUDE and has no manners. And I know he's not talking about Jack. He's not in the position of being in a relationship.
"Who are you talking about?" she asked
"Commander Steve McGarrett" he said
Oooh WOW! Claire totally forgot all about him! He's a real gentlemen, he sweet, and he has a "perfect" body! Damn, he's right. Maybe I should give him a shot! Claire thought.
"Hmmmm. You know Cousin Derek, I just may consider Commander McGarrett"
"Hell yeah, go for it"
*Door knock* on the door. Derek and Claire turned around and sees it was Jacob Elway. Damn, speaking of the DEVIL. Both Claire and Derek said to themselves
"What is it that you want Elway?" Derek asked
"Look, I want to talk to Claire alone" Jacob said. He touched both sides of his temples as he feels the pain. "Ahhhh...sssst. And I need some aspirins"
Claire walks over by Elway and asked,"How long have you had migraines?"
"About a year now" he said
"A year? Did you see a doctor at all?" she asked him
"Yeah. He just gave me some prescription aspirins and sent me home"
Claire shakes her head and went over by the counter medicine cabinet and grab some the right aspirin to give Elway for his migraines.
"Well, that explains why you still have the migraines. He didn't give you the right ones." she said. Claire glances at Derek and said, "Derek, you can leave now. I've got this"
Derek nodded and walked out of the office. Elway glances at Claire while she prepares the medicine. He began to walk quietly behind her.
Elway slowly put his arms around her waist as Claire flinched and drops the medicine and a cup of water.
"Jake, what are you doing?" she asked
"I'm sorry for not telling you about Chloe and I. I should have told you at lunch today"
"Jacob don't worry about it. I'm over it" she said as she touched his hands and moved them down from her waist. Claire turned around.
"So, does this means you forgive me?" he asked
Claire slightly smile and said, "Yes. I do"
Elway looks into Claire's eyes. He swift the left side of her hair back. Gently touched the left side of her cheek with the back of his hand; leaned forward and gave her a simple sweet kiss on the lips.
Claire couldn't respond. She was AMAZED by Elway's kiss. His beautiful sweet lips touched mines. My God, what is this man doing to me?! Claire says to herself.
Elway leans forward kisses her again! Only this time with PASSION! Claire responded as she place her arms around his neck. Elway placed his arms around her waist.
Daryl Dixon walked by seeing both Claire and Elway kissing. Dixon felt DISGUSTED and said softly walking away, "Goddamn romance novel. Jesus people get a room"
Claire and Elway slowly unlock lips smiling at each other.
"Now, that wasn't bad was it?" Elway asked
"Huh? Oh...no it wasn't" Claire said
Elway felt "pain" in his forehead again. "Ahhh...damn this headache comes and goes"
Claire touched his forehead and he felt pretty warm. Like a fever.
"Jake, you have a slight fever" she said. "Go lay on the couch over there and I'll bring you your medicine alright"
"Yes mam" he said
Elway made his way over by the couch. Suddenly...he felt dizzy.. He couldn't FOCUS on his eyesight. He could hear his own "heartbeat". Elway trips over a tray as he collapse on the floor!
Claire runs over yelling, "JAKE! JAKE!"
Elway didn't respond. "Jake can you HEAR me?!"
Claire pressed her fingers into his neck to "feel" a pulse. Its shallow.
