A/N - Hello, again. I am terribly sorry for the long delay! It's been a busy two weeks. I hope you all enjoy this chapter and look forward to the next chapter which i PROMISE will come next week!


The late afternoon sun continued to filter into the room through the windows, breathing life into the room. Harrison Fisher was sitting across from Johnny Smith, just getting himself comfortable. Fisher dressed formally with his navy blue suit, with a light blue under shirt, bright red tie and dress pants.

Fisher, who served in Congress for 12 years before the shocking announcement and his resignation from the 2004 Congressional race against Independent Greg Stillson and Democrat Steven Hansz. Truth was, many people approved Harrison Fisher at the beginning of his tenure, but as time wore on, people began to get tired of the same routine. They wanted change. Then Greg Stillson entered the ring.

Early polls indicated that Greg Stillson was the most exciting candidate entering the political arena in Maine in years. He was young, full of charisma and came in with a bang, promising change. He won people over quick and early. Fisher and Stillson were total opposites, and was setting up one of the most intriguing elections in years. Fisher had never faced a true challenge in a largely Republican district. That was about to change.

Then Johnny Smith quietly entered the Fisher campaign.

What seemed at first as a promising relationship of a psychic as a low profile political advisor of sorts soon became the downfall of Harrison Fisher's political career. Johnny was able to see things about Fisher that had been a long kept secret. What established Harrison Fisher as a war hero was a lie, a scandal. Fisher had lived with this lie for 30 years, but when Johnny found out, Fisher decided to confess his actions in a debate. This marked the end of Harrison Fisher's political career.

The speech Fisher gave that night became one of the most memorable moments in Maine's political history, and coming clean shed a new light on Fisher. The news of Fisher's resignation became statewide news. Despite his actions, an overwhelming amount of Maine supported Harrison Fisher's actions and show of honesty. After all the facts of the mission were distributed out to the press, an even larger portion of the state did not believe it was his fault.

With the kind of attention and positive light being shown, Fisher may have been able to continue seeking re-election, but he showed no more interest in running. The Republicans quickly sought after another candidate to replace Fisher and wound up choosing Melissa Klock, a close friend of Harrison Fisher, hoping they could continue to roll momentum towards the Republicans. Fisher openly endorsed her and she quickly gained much of the support of Harrison Fisher's voters, making the race much closer than what analysts and critics expected shortly after the Fisher's resignation.

But in the end, Klock and Hansz could not defeat the rising star.

After a final boost thanks to the Rachel Caldwell ordeal, Stillson managed to dig up more of the female voters, Greg Stillson found an edge and won the election by a mere one percent. Though there were quiet rumors of a possible scandal, they never became more than rumors and stayed under the radar. Nothing became concrete and Stillson became the new congressman.

Fisher was indeed disappointed in what happened but that wouldn't change his vow. He would be watching closely. No matter what.

Jack turned his attention back to Johnny. "So Johnny, back to you for a second. There were stories going around about you supporting Fisher during the last days of his campaign. Now come on, you've go to let us know. True or false."

Johnny took a big breath. "Uh, yeah, I helped Fisher out a little bit before he resigned."

Jack asked Johnny, "Did you have anything to do with Mr. Fisher's resig-"

Harrison Fisher leaned forward and responded before Jack could even finish. "I resigned because I wanted to. I needed to. It was my past, my lies. Johnny had nothing to do with what happened that night at the debate. Johnny encouraged me to keep running before I made my decision. I just knew it was time to come clean. And that is what I did." Fisher leaned back in his chair.

Johnny looked down and ran a hand through his hair.

Jack knew he had made a mistake and turned back to Fisher. "Congressman, why did John encourage you to keep running?"

Harrison took a quick glance at Johnny and then looked back at Jack and began to respond carefully. "Let's just say that there were things we agreed on that he was hesitant to let go by allowing me to resign. It was a difficult decision for me to make and I think that John certainly didn't agree with me. But that's something we both have to live with."
