"Okay, I don't have much today. The National Security Advisor will speak
with you in a about an hour to discuss the troop movement in Moscow. I have
no information what so ever on that at this time, please wait an hour," CJ
looked at some other notes. "Wow, I guess it's a very light day. That's all
I have."
"Do you have any number you can give us on how many troops were sent to Moscow?" One reporter asked.
"Yeah, because when I said I have no information, I meant I knew how many troops where sent," CJ said sarcastically.
"Can you give us any information?"
"I have no information at this time, I said that two times already." CJ snapped. "Does everyone understand that?"
"CJ, this all happened hours ago, you have no information?"
"Like I said, I can't hand out information at this time."
"But you have information?"
"I don't at this time."
"But you just said."
"I said I couldn't hand it out because I don't have any to give out," CJ snapped. "Now unless you have any more questions," CJ looked around. "Good, see you all later." CJ smiled and walked out.
"Good job boss." Carol smiled.
"Their like relentless vultures. Like some other people I know," CJ said as she walked back to her office. When she walked in, she shut the door behind her. She couldn't believe she almost lost it in a briefing. She was always able to keep her cool in there, no matter what happened. She grabbed her coat and walked out. "I'm going out for lunch Carol."
"Okay," Carol said and watched her boss leave.
TOBY'S OFFICE.
"Sorry it took so long," Toby walked back in and shut the door.
"It's okay," Liz smiled. "Is everything okay?"
"Yeah, I had to see Leo. He yelled at me because apparently CJ went off on him."
"She went off on Leo?"
"Well, he asked her what was wrong and she went off on PMS and other woman things that I don't even understand," Toby stood there confused.
"The power of woman," Liz smiled. "I was wondering if I couldn't come over tonight." She smiled and wrapped her arms around him.
"Liz, look," Toby looked down. "I think we need to talk."
"I don't like the sound of this," She looked in his eyes.
"What happened last night. It was great. Really great. But you're the Presidents daughter. Do you know how many laws of Bartlet I broke last night?" Toby eyes widened. "I like you, I really do. But I don't think this is going to work."
"Why?" Liz asked while sitting down on his couch. "My whole life I have been told what to do. I'm sick of it."
"Liz," Toby sat next to her. "Last night was something to show everyone that you're not predictable. It certainly showed me." Toby grinned as Liz laughed. "What about Jack?"
"What about him?" Liz looked away.
"Well, last time I checked you two had been working things out and you have a beautiful little girl."
"He's never home anymore."
"Tell him that you want him around. Tell him to take you on a vacation. Do something. I know he loves you. Don't throw it away."
"What if I told you I didn't want to try anymore?"
"I wouldn't believe you," Toby smiled.
"I like you," She looked at him.
"I like you too," He smiled. "But do you really think this would work?" He winked.
"No," She laughed. "But I'll tell you what, I would have liked more nights like last night," She kissed him again.
"Don't temp me," He smiled and kissed her back. "You better go see your father."
"Yeah," She stood up and looked at Toby once more before walking out. Toby took a deep breath and stood up. He grabbed his coat and headed out. On his way down the hall, he ran into Donna.
"Hey Toby," Donna walked up to him. "You look like hell." She smiled.
"It's nice to see you too Donna," Toby said sarcastically.
"What did you do to piss her off?"
"Why am I the one that had to do something. She's just a crazy woman out to kill me." Toby started walking away again.
"Where are you going?"
"I'm going to grab something to eat."
"Where?"
"I don't know," Toby turned around with a confused look on his face. "Why?"
"I like to eat to Toby," Donna smiled.
"Hurry up," Toby said.
"Let me grab my coat," Donna ran back to her desk and grabbed her coat.
"Donna, where's the Brickwood file?" Josh asked her.
"I put it on your desk," She started to leave.
"Where are you going?"
"I'm going out with Toby. Bye," She said as she ran to catch up with Toby.
"What?" Josh yelled, but she was already gone.
"What's going on?" Sam walked up to him.
"Donna's going out with Toby."
"Really?" Sam smiled as the sight of a fuming Josh. "Maybe it was her on the phone this morning." He joked.
"Shut up Sam. She was already at work when you were on the phone," Josh defended.
"I was kidding." Sam stepped back.
"Not funny!" Josh said while walking back to his office and slamming the door.
