Beth sat at the dining table picking at her roast potatoes. It was the last night of her stay at the white house and Benny was supposed to be here with her and eating the roast meal that the cooks made for them.
She still couldn't believe that Cleo had robbed benny. They were nearly 100% positive that it was her who did it as they had seen her at his apartment with some of the stuff. Why would she be there though? it made absolutely no sense.
"Well it was lovely having you here," said the president.
"Thank you," she said, a smile on her face that didn't meet her eyes.
She tried to be social, and make sure she spoke to everyone before she left, but she just didn't have the energy anymore. She needed to get a car so she decided to ask the president.
"As you know Benny has left early because of a robbery on his apartment" she started, saying everything slowly.
"Oh yes, big shame. He was rather nice".
"What I was just wondering...do you have a car that I could take?".
"A car? Sorry Elizbeth, we don't have any cars that we can give out. I'm sure I will be able to book you a flight".
"OH, no no I can't go on a flight," she said her voice rising once more.
The president was oblivious.
"Sure you can. Are you afraid of aeroplanes?" he said looking at his wife.
"Well I nearly did-".
"Well there's nothing to be afraid of, they're just normal things. It's basically a flying bus. It's completely safe. There is a flight to new york in 3 hours".
