NOTE: Well, I don't really know what to say other than, I hope you like this. This is something I mulled around in my mind for awhile, trying to find the right way to present it as a chapter. Anyway, read away and let me know what you think!
Chapter 8: The Lewinsky
Shaundi stormed through the front door of The White House, furious about the call she'd received. The moment she set foot inside, two of her agents quickly approached her.
"What the hell happened?" she asked, jaw clenched.
"He slipped away when we weren't looking," replied an agent.
"Are you fucking kidding me?"
Her agents avoided her glare and looked down at the floor. She tapped her foot on the ground and shook her head in frustration.
"I'm gone for a few hours and you lose the one fucking person you're supposed to look after," she said, gruffly. "Does anyone have a lead on where he might be?"
"No, mam."
"Find Oleg and have him lead a search party. Look for him at every strip club, bar, and anywhere else that sells alcohol. Then, get a hold of Asha. Have her run a check on the whereabouts of any known enemies of The President. The list is long, so hurry up."
"Yes, mam," the agents said in unison.
"He better be in some sort of trouble," said Shaundi as an agent handed over her gun and badge. "Because, if he isn't, he sure as hell will be."
She rolled her eyes and huffed before pushing past her agents. She walked down the hallway with them close behind her. As she neared the Oval Office, she heard a loud groan echo into the hallway. The doors to the office were closed, but scuffling could be heard from inside.
"Did you check the entire house?" she asked, skeptical of the noises.
"Yes, mam. It's on lock-down," said an agent. "And, we cleared that room an hour ago."
Shaundi readied her gun and approached the office doors with caution. She reached for the doorknob and slowly turned it to find it was locked. She glanced at her agents for them to prepare themselves before hearing another loud groan. Shaundi didn't hesitate and kicked the doors in with a loud BANG. She rushed into the room, gun raised, to see clothes scattered throughout and The Boss tied naked to his office chair with a long string of rope. He had a ball gag in his mouth, yet didn't seem like he needed help despite the fact that he had a black eye. He tried to smile around the bright red ball between his lips.
"Boss?" asked Shaundi, with her lip raised. She walked toward him, lowering her gun, but signaled for her agents to remain alert. The gag was loose and The Boss pushed it out of his mouth with his tongue.
"H-hey, Shaundi," he said, before a thump left the underside of his desk. Shaundi furrowed her brow and noticed a black pair of panties thrown over the head of a statue like a hat. She turned back to him and crossed her arms.
"Whoever's under the desk, come out right now."
The Boss let out a deep breath as the woman peeked her head out. She stood up and wiped the side of her mouth, her cheeks beet red from blushing. She was wearing The Boss' shirt, leaving the top few buttons open to reveal her bra. Her hair was messy and she had a dark circular bruise on her neck from a hickey. She smiled nervously and pushed her black-rimmed glasses up with her finger.
"Kinzie?" asked Shaundi, her eyes wide. "What are you, bucking for an apology?"
"He...um...he already apologized," said Kinzie, timidly. Shaundi shook her head in disbelief and dismissed her agents before turning to The Boss.
"Do you have any idea what you put us through? We have agents all over the city trying to find you," she said, glaring at him. "How long has this, whatever it is you're doing, been going on?"
"Not long," said The Boss.
"This...is the first time," said Kinzie.
"How did this happen?" Shaundi curiously asked. The Boss glanced at Kinzie from his chair and she looked away from him.
"Well, I was heading to my room when I bumped into Kinzie," said The Boss, turning back to Shaundi. "She was still mad about covering for me yesterday and we got into an argument about some responsibility bullshit. Things got pretty heated, some punches were thrown, and the next thing I know we're on the floor doing-"
"Hey, yeah, I got it," said Shaundi throwing her hands up. She stared at Kinzie for a moment before turning back to The Boss. "Well, at least you found something to do. We'll talk about the trouble you put me through later. I'll just leave you two alone."
Shaundi backed out of the room and shook her head again, still in shock of what she saw. She heard Kinzie call after her. Shaundi turned to see her running down the hallway, wearing her sweater and skirt, struggling to put on her heels.
"Shaundi, wait," said Kinzie, out of breath.
"What is it?" asked Shaundi, crossing her arms again.
"I know what you saw was a bit of a shock, it shocked me too."
"Really? Because it looked like you were calling the shots in there," said Shaundi, raising one eyebrow. "And you made fun of what went on in my bedroom."
"I'm sorry. Just please, don't say anything to anyone." Shaundi tightened her eyes and remained silent, causing Kinzie to become nervous. "Shaundi, please. I'm begging you. People already make fun of me for being in to kink, this would just make it worse."
"Okay, on one condition," said Shaundi, raising her index finger. "The next time you two want to sneak away and play, let me know about it. I don't want to know the details, only the location. It's really hard to do my job and protect The President when I have no clue where he is."
"That won't be a problem," said Kinzie, wringing her hands. "This was just a brief moment of weakness."
Shaundi noticed her nervous behavior, "Are you sure?"
Kinzie swallowed hard and nodded her head before pushing her glasses up with her finger. She cleared her throat and smiled, "I...um...I need to get back to work." She turned and walked down the hallway, arms crossed in front of her chest.
"Excuse me?!" screamed The Boss from the Oval Office. "There's a naked man tied to a chair in here! Some help would be nice!"
Shaundi took a deep breath and rolled her eyes before walking back into the office to untie him. She contemplated leaving him there for cutting her date with Ethan short, but decided he'd been punished enough...he did spend an hour with Kinzie after all.
