Josh grabbed the statistics memo off his desk and walked back to Leo's office. He stood in the doorway, thinking of how to ask the question he thought he wanted to ask.

"Hey, Josh," Leo said, looking up at his deputy.

"Leo," Josh said.

"What's happened now?" Leo asked, wearily.

It was Josh's presence and strange hesitance that had that effect. Normally working on Sunday mornings was good, with the President out of the office and Senators out of town.

"I don't have Donna this morning," Josh said.

Leo just looked up at him. Josh realised how 'bad' that sounded.

"She's in the Roosevelt room with C.J, Toby and a group of people from Sunnydale. There's something odd about them. Toby said he was just working there, but he was with them. And there's no way that guy is a librarian. C.J said he knew the President."

"Josh, I'm not prepared to go into conspiracy theories with you right now. If you need something typed you can give it to Margaret."

"Leo, if anything is happening…"

"I'll let you know if you need to know," Leo said.

Despite his having taken the issue to Abbey Leo was not willing to discuss anything with Josh. Josh nodded.

"I just thought I'd tell you, in case it meant anything. And the President wanted his report," he said, waving the papers.

Leo checked his watch. "He should be back now, go through."

Josh knocked on the door connecting Leo's office to the Oval. The President called him through. He looked puzzled when Josh appeared and not Leo.

"What can I do for you?"

"I've looked at the statistics, sir," Josh said, holding out the report.

"Thank you, Josh," the President said, taking the report.

He hadn't really spoken to Josh since the announcement to run. Actually, it had been an announcement to win. And Josh was still wary around him, but it was something more bothering him now. The President waited.

"Rupert Giles and some friends of his from Sunnydale are in the Roosevelt room with C.J, Toby and Donna. C.J said you knew Mr Giles," Josh said.

"Ah, they're here," the President exclaimed, obviously delighted. "I'd better go and say hello! Thank you, Josh."

Once again Josh found that he had been dismissed. "Thank you, sir," he said to the President's retreating back and returned to Leo's office.

The President stopped at his aide's desk.

"Find Toby for me, can you, Charlie? I don't think he's in his office."

Charlie called Toby's cell phone.

"He's in basement C, sir," Charlie said, keeping the question out of his voice.

"Tell him I'm on my way down."

"The President's coming to you, Toby," Charlie relayed.

"Hi, Leo."

Leo looked up and found Abbey standing in his doorway. He narrowed his eyes.

"Margaret was away from her desk. Have you eaten today?"

"Yes," Leo said shortly. Abbey didn't take the hint.

"He's running again."

"That's what he said when he was asked the question."

"He's running again, Leo."

"I'm not going to discuss this with you, Abbey," Leo said. "I will advise the President and I will follow his orders to the best of my ability."

Abbey sighed. She sank into the chair facing him and watched Leo. She'd know she wouldn't be able to bait him, at least not on this.

"How was church?" Leo asked.

"Okay. 'Acts.' He drew some interesting things out of it," Abbey said, not really concentrating on Leo. She looked at the door that connected his office to her husband's.

"He's meeting people in the Roosevelt room," Leo offered.

"No, it was empty when I passed it on the way here," Abbey said.

"Did you ask Charlie?"

"No, I thought I'd come here first and pick a fight with you," Abbey said. She stood up. "I'll go and see him now. He's not going to be anywhere he can't be interrupted?"

Leo shrugged, but smiled. "Not unless you're already with him."

Abbey chuckled.

"But have you…?"

"I'll tell you if I have," Abbey said.

She walked through the Oval office to inquire of Charlie the whereabouts of the President.
