Summary: Is Washington D.C. ready for Anna and Ben?
A/N: I'm trying my best to keep everyone in character, but let me know how you think I'm doing anyway. R & R!
Chapter 3 The AdventureThe grandfather clock in the white house lobby struck eight and Anna waited impatiently for Ben to come to the door. He's probably being strip-searched or something because of my dad's overly cautious, bordering on obsessive-compulsive, security people she thought. Suddenly there was a knock on the front door. Anxiously Anna called out, "I'll get it," and ran to do so.
"Wow," Ben said the minute he saw Anna open the door, "You look really, really-," he was cut by the President Foster intrusively clearing his throat.
Before her dad could get into his I-know-every-cop-in-town-routine Anna decided to take action. She quickly kissed her dad on the cheek and pulled Ben none too gently by the arm out the door. As they were climbing onto the bike Ben felt he should speak up. "So just like that they let you go?" he asked.
"Yeah, pretty much."
"Why couldn't they have done that before?"
"Beats me," Anna replied and then added, "Would you happier if they had and saved you the trouble of all this?" She laughed when she saw the look on Ben's face and it became obvious that she was only pretending to be offended. "So you want to get out of here or what?" she asked, gesturing toward the motorcycle. Ben nodded curtly and in seconds they were speeding away.
"What are we doing tonight anyway?" Ben asked, "I have to admit I'm a little worried that your in charge."
Anna smiled innocently and answered, "What don't you trust me?"
"Not on your life," was the reply but it only served to send her into peals of laughter.
And so it began.
