" You wanted to see me?" Irina asked Anastasia who called her out of her wedding reception.
" Yes. I need a favor and considering I just financed a very expensive wedding for you and set up a house for you when you get back to LA I figured it wouldn't be a problem."
" What do you want?" Irina asked knowing that the temporary truce between herself and her mother was over.
" Yevegeny Kobylinsky retired and I haven't found a replacement for him and since you are going to be living in America I want you to take over being the Russian ambassador in America."
" An ambassador?" Irina repeated.
" Yes. I can trust you and you are smart."
" I'm a known terrorist and just recently released from CIA custody, the president would never accept me as an ambassador."
" Yes he will. Jed Barlet is good friends with your sister and myself, and if he won't do it as a friend then I'll do some political or economic blackmail." Anastasia said with a wicked grin on her face." Now you won't have to do anything just be the ambassador technically so that if there is ever a problem you can deal with it."
" Okay if the president will agree."
" Now you'll have to get a physical."
" A what?"
" Go see a doctor, in a week or so because Yevegeny leaves on the twenty-seventh so you have two weeks to get your physical so you can be accepted."
" Wait a minute, I don't go to doctors."
" Please. I'll set up the appointment you just show up. Now enjoy your
honeymoon and I'll keep in touch. Give Johnathan my love."
