Chapter two - Stolen photos
"The secret service are coordinating with the local police. They are going through the processes. Lets just hope they find who ever did this before those photos reach the press" The president told him roughly.
"What made the two of you decide to even consider have these photos done in the first place?" The president asked roughly.
"It was my idea dad. I wanted a photo of the two of us together. I got the idea one morning when Charlie was still asleep. The contrast in our skin colours looked great and I suggested it to Charlie when he woke up that it would make a great photo. Thats when he told me his friend is a photographer and I asked him to arrange it for us" Zoey said softly, when she finished speaking she turned and hid her face in Charlie's shoulder. Charlie responded by wraping his arms around her and hugging her tightly.
The president studied his daughter, he could tell that she was close to tears again. He knew his anger had upset her but he didn't know how else to react to the photos.
"Excuse me Mr President, Ron butterfield is here for you" Mrs Landingham said interrupting the silence.
"Send him in please" The president told her.
Mrs Landingham disappeared the President's security chief walked in confidently.
"Ron what's going on?" The president asked him.
"The police think that they've found who broke into Zoey's dorm room, they are about to execute search warrants now. We'll know within about two hours whether the place their searching is the right place" he reports.
"I suppose thats a good thing" The president mutters. A cell phone rings and everyone but the president looks at their phones, Charlie however hits a button on his phone and brings it to his ear.
"Hello. I've been better, how about you? You have got to be kidding me. I gotta go and ring James. To crash the site. Oh you did that already. Alright thanks man I owe you one. Okay you got it, we'll set that up this weekend. Yeah thanks for that Derek. Alright talk to you later" Charlie said into the phone. When Charlie ended the phonecall he leant down to press a short kiss on Zoey's lips.
"Please tell me that was good news?" Zoey asked softly.
"Yes and no. No, the photos found their way to the internet -" Charlie started
"Oh no" Zoey moaned pushing her face back into his chest.
"Baby calm down. Derek already rang James and got him to crash the website and any other site thats linked to the site. James is tracing the website to see who's running it, he'll have an address for us soon. So who ever put those photos on the web obviously took them from your dorm room and then they can be caught. This is a good thing, it means we're closer to getting these photos back" Charlie explained.
"Charlie how is it your friend knew the photos were online?" The president asked.
"My friend Bree is a journalist, she does a web search for Zoey and I every few days to see whats being put out there about us. She found the photos and rang Derek who did what I would have done, she rang him instead of me directly because she keeps losing my new mobile number" Charlie explained.
"Charlie this friend of yours, the address his getting is what?" Ron asked.
"It'll be an actual address, it'll be the person who actually put the photo's up on website" Charlie answered.
"This James is trust worthy?" The president asked.
"Yeah, we can trust him" Charlie told him.
"So we just wait for him to ring back with an address then?" Zoey asked softly.
"Yeah" Charlie replied.
