"Straight flush." Josh smiled and laid the cards down.
"Damn." Sam and Donna both slammed their cards down on the table. "Where did you learn to play like that?"
"Toby taught me. He harbors from Brooklyn, he's a master at poker."
"He's right, Toby can kick some ass in poker." Sam agreed.
"Sam!" Ginger started screaming from the Bullpen, causing everyone in the room to run out.
"What happened?" Sam asked. Ginger just pointed at the television as it showed both CJ and Toby's faces.
"Turn it up!" Josh screamed.
"We have conformed reports that White House Communications Director Toby Ziegler, and White House Press Secretary CJ Cregg were on board one of the trains that collided tonight. As we reported earlier, two trains loaded with at least two hundred people crashed tonight. Right now the damage covers at least three miles and as of now, no survives has been found." The reporter said.
"Oh my God." Donna covered her mouth.
"No way. This is not true!" Sam punched the wall next to him.
"Get Leo." Josh said quietly as he leaned against the wall.
"Yeah." Donna ran out.
"Sam." Josh started.
"What if." Sam felt the tears begin to form.
"Don't." Josh shook his head. "Their still alive."
"Charlie, where's Leo?" Donna screamed.
"He's in with the President." Charlie said as Donna ran in.
"Leo." Jed began to talk when Donna rushed in.
"I'm sorry Mr. President, but something happened."
"What?" Jed and Leo both got up and walked out as Donna turned on the television.
"We have more information to report tonight. Three people have been pulled from the wreckage alive, reports indicate that over twenty have been found dead."
"What happened?" Leo asked.
"Two trains collided about 30 minutes ago. Details are sketchy, but it looks like when the trains hit, the one going towards the west jumped the rails."
"God." Jed looked down. "Get CJ and Toby back here now." Jed said quickly.
"Mr. President." Donna felt the tears fall down from her face.
"They took the train." Leo looked down.
"They were on the one heading west."
"They're on the train?" Jed snapped. "No, tell me this is a joke."
"Mr. President."
"NO!" Jed shouted and went back into his office.
"I'm sorry, I didn't.."
"Donna, it's not you. You did the right thing." Leo hushed her. "He's not mad at you."
"Okay." Donna wiped some tears away. "Oh Leo, they're in the train." She cried.
