"Abigail?"
"Who is this?"
"Natalie. I need you to help me get back to the hotel."
"What...?"
"It's a long story. I don't have any money for a taxi and I'm scared."
"Its 2:30 am. I have the flu, and you want me to come get you?"
"I can't call Olivia or dad. I'll explain the situation when you get here."
"Where are you?"
"A coffee shop near the White House."
"I know where you are. I used to go there for coffee before school. They're always open. I'm getting an Uber now. Keep your head down and ignore anyone who tries to start a conversation. Do not go outside until I get there."
Abigail hung up the phone and made her way to the lobby. The Uber didn't take long.
"Hey, I know you. Long time no see."
"Fernando?" Abigail leaned forward to get a better look at the driver.
"Yeah, I know your mom."
"It has been a while."
"So what are you doing out so late at night?"
"I'm meeting a friend for coffee."
"You have insomnia?"
"No."
"Be careful out here. This city is not the same at night."
"I can handle DC."
Abigail tipped the driver and looked around to make sure no one was following her. She could see Natalie sitting by a window.
"I'm here, now I need to know why are you running the streets in the middle of the night?"
"Angela dropped me off here. She asked to do an interview denying everything dad and Olivia said in their interview."
"Why would you agree to that?"
"I don't know. There's been so many changes. I'm scared Abigail."
"She left you here?"
"When I changed my mind, she kicked me out of the car. I don't have anyone else to call."
"Yeah, President Grant is going to be real upset if he knows you were with Angela. The sun will be up in a few hours. I'll get us some coffee and bagels before we go back to the hotel."
"Thank you for coming here."
"I couldn't leave you here alone. You've probably never been outside at night without mom and dad."
"No I haven't."
"You're safe with me. We're friends."
