/A Few Days Later/
/Chase was looking at a column outside of the White House/
"Huh, fancy" said Chase to himself
/Chase looked to his left and saw the rest of the group walking towards him/
"Welcome to the heart of the free world" said Dylan
"Yeah, I've technically been here before" said Chase
"I know, most of us have" said Aelita
"Its not a bad place, but capitol hill is full of idiots" said Odd
"Yep, you would fit right in" joked Ulrich
/The group shared a laugh/
"So how long until you get the Medal of Honor?" asked Aelita
"In a few hours, but we can go and meet the president right now" said Chase
"The president? In the oval office?" asked Yumi
"Yep" said Chase
/Dylan felt a tap on his shoulder, he turned around to see the strange man again/
"Again?" asked Dylan
"I'm really proud of your brother" said the man
/The group looked at the man/
"How do you know us?" asked Aelita
/The man chuckled/
"Chase knows me, because he-" said the man
/The man was cut off by a guard who shouted at the group: "Five minutes! You should get ready"/
"Almost time" said Odd
"Lets go then" said Jennifer
/The group walked into the White House, leaving the man outside/
/\/\/\/\Five Minutes Later/\/\/\/\
/The group was walking down a hall/
"Nice place" said James
"Yep, a lot of history is in these walls" said Ulrich
"It was burnt down in 1814, by the British" said Chase
"Sorry" joked Rebecca
/The group laughed as they stopped in front of a door/
"You guys ready to meet the leader of the free world?" asked a Secret Service agent
"Yes" said Jeremie
/The Secret Service agent opened the door, and the group saw a man looking out of the window/
"Mister President?" asked the agent
/The President of the United States of America looked away from the window, and looked at the group/
"Great honor Mister President" said Chase and Dylan
"Which one of you is getting the medal today?" asked President Lawton
/Chase stepped forward/
"Me sir" said Chase
"Sit down" said President Lawton
/Chase sat down in a chair that was in front of the Resolute Desk, President Lawton sat in his chair/
"How was it over there?" asked President Lawton
"Well, it wasn't no picnic, I can tell you that" said Chase
"How so?" asked President Lawton
/Chase lifted up his fake leg, and set it on the desk/
"Titanium Alloy, it's what they used to make the Space Shuttle, back in the day" said Chase
/Aelita and Jeremie walked over to the desk/
"Hello" said Aelita
"Howdy ma'am" said President Lawton
"My name is Aelita Belpois, and this is my husband Jeremie" said Aelita
/Jeremie waived/
"It looks like you have a lot of friends" said President Lawton
"Yes sir" said Chase
/The President got out of his seat, and walked over to the rest of the group/
"Hello, my name's Odd Della Robia, and this is my wife, Sissi" said Odd
/President Lawton chuckled/
"How did you earn that nickname?" asked President Lawton
"That's his real name, he's Italian" said Sissi
"Oh, well this got a little awkward hasn't it?" asked President Lawton
"Not at all sir" said Odd
/President Lawton walked over to Rebecca/
"Hello, Mister President" said Rebecca
"Wow, are you British?" asked President Lawton
"Yes sir" said Rebecca
"Oh, congratulations" said President Lawton
/Rebecca laughed/
"Thank you" said Rebecca
/Chase noticed something on a table that shocked him/
"Mister President? What's all of that over there?" asked Chase
/Chase pointed at the table, and President Lawton walked over to it/
"This is a bunch of this military person, called 'the ghost'" said President Lawton
"You're a fan of the ghost?" asked Chase
"Yep, I actually met him once" said President Lawton
/The group, except for James and Wendy, took turns looking at the President, and Chase/
"Oh really? When?" asked Chase
"It was when I was stationed in Germany said President Lawton
"Really? What rank were you?" asked Chase
"Staff Sergeant" said President Lawton
"And you met the ghost?" asked Chase
"Yeah, it was a couple of operations called, 'Operation Clockwork' and 'Operation Axehead'" said President Lawton
/Dylan and Chase hid the shocked look on their faces/
"Huh, small world" said Chase under his breath
"What was that?" asked President Lawton
"Nothing sir" said Chase
/President Lawton had a look of confusion, but then he shrugged it off as Ulrich and Yumi walked up to him/
"Hello Mister President" said Yumi
"Hello, who are you?" asked President Lawton
"I'm Ulrich Stern, and this is my wife Yumi" said Ulrich
"Nice to meet you" said President Lawton
"How long until the thing happens?" asked Chase
"In about an hour" said President Lawton
/One Hour Later/
/Chase was standing next to the President while the group was sitting in one of the rows of chairs/
"-And bravery, which is why I am awarding Captain Enheart this medal" said President Lawton
/The President walked behind Chase, he put the medal on his neck, then Chase turned around and they shook hands/
"Congratulations" said President Lawton
"Thank you sir" said Chase
/Chase walked to a microphone/
"Well, I guess I'm supposed to give a speech or something like that. So here it is" said Chase
/Chase cleared his throat/
"Thanks" said Chase
/Chase walked back to his seat as the room chuckled and clapped/
"Well that was, um, nice?" said Ulrich
"I'm not one for long speeches" said Chase
"Alright, how do you feel?" asked Aelita
"Um, I feel like I got a piece of metal around my neck" joked Chase
/The group shared a laugh/
/\/\/\/\/\An Hour Later/\/\/\/\/\
/Chase, Ulrich, Odd, and President Lawton were sitting in a row of chairs in the rose garden/
"This is a nice place you got here, Mister President" said Odd
"No, this place is a hell hole, but it does have its moments" said President Lawton
"Where is everyone else at?" asked Ulrich
"They went to check out the Lincoln bedroom or something" said Chase
"Ah" said Ulrich
"So, tell me about yourselves" said President Lawton
"I'm from Germany" said Ulrich
"Italy" said Odd
"I'm from the great state of Illinois" said Chase
"Illinois? Chicago's a great city" said President Lawton
"It is" said Chase
"And Odd, you're from Italy?" asked President Lawton
"Yes sir" said Odd
/Chase saw a man looking at them/
"What the fuck?!" asked Chase
"What is it?" asked Odd
"How did that son of a bitch get past the Secret Service?!" asked Chase
"I'll get Dylan" said Ulrich
/Ulrich got out of his seat and ran into the White House, as Chase put himself in front of the President/
"What are you doing?" asked Odd
"He's more important than me" said Chase
"I guess so" said Odd
/The man walked towards them as Ulrich and Dylan ran out towards them/
"What in the name of all that is holy, is this guy doing here?!" asked Dylan
/The man smiled/
"I just like toying with you" said the man
"What?! You better tell me who you are" warned Dylan
/The man walked to Chase/
"Remember? Iraq, 2008?" asked the man
"A lot of things happened in Iraq" said Chase
"Remington .308, you grazed my head" said the man
/Chase looked thoughtful, then he slowly raised his eyes/
"N- No, you're dead! I killed you!" said Chase
"What are you talking about?" asked Odd
/Chase looked at Dylan/
"Dil, this is your dad!" said Chase
