THE L WING
Chapter 286
Narration of President Bette Kennard Porter
“Could you stay behind for half an hour please CJ ?”
I have been chairing the senior staff meeting for the last hour. Well –chair is a loose phrase that doesn’t totally do justice to what I have really been doing which is something between lion taming and controlling toddlers spaced out on e-numbers. Even with Alice as subdued as she has been its still a lively meeting with Phyllis and JJ going head to head and having to be reminded that they are in the Oval Office – not a downtown bar in New York arguing about baseball. So – that made for some fun and games but I am glad its over.
The others leave and CJ stands looking at me – even though she is my Chief of Staff she always looks anxious when she is told to stay behind.
“Close the door “
CJ obeys and I gesture for her to sit down
“Holly Lancaster “
CJ nods “Not our favourite person “
“No – or the IRS’s “
She raises an eyebrow at me
“Holly hasn’t paid a red dime in taxes for a long time – and I mean a long time. I am not sure her famous mother paid any either but I do know that Holly – who always plays what a great patriot she is – visiting the troops and all that bull. Anyway – she does not pay taxes – we are not talking the barest minimum – we are talking none at all “
“That’s bad “
“It is – and I happen to know where some of the dollars are buried “
“You do ?”
“Its weird but all of this has made me think about her more than I have done in years – I don’t have the information on me – its in Virginia but when I go there in a few days I will go into the attic and dig the details out. I need a way of this getting to a very senior IRS figure without it coming back to me”

Always fresh after all these chapters! Is the snow really that bad in England? i’ve read how they closed the terminals at Heathrow. How much snow have you had?
Thanks for the updateLoved it as usual
Thanks for posting! I’m looking forward to more from you this week.
Great chapter AllyE. As I’ve told you before, this story should be a book. Whenever you end it, (not anytime soon, I hope) it should be published. There are plenty of people on both sides of the pond that would love this story. It is fabulous. Thanks for posting.
Have a good time and thank you for the update.
Ally, I love all your stories! – It’s amazing how you’re able to keep every one of them so fresh and new :) You’re a wonderful writer – PPS
This American happens to think that Plan and the Tea Party did a good job this past Nov. DADT is a good thing being taken dwn. WISH YOU A HAPPY CHRISTMAS
Hi AllyE, I really do love this story. There is such a complexity of characterization and conversation throughout. Each individual has been fleshed out into a living and breathing person. Every twist and turn displays real depth and soul. This is an alternate universe full of amazing adventures. I am so astounded by it all. Many thanks as you rock my world Ally. So much gratitude and appreciation from Your Loyal Fan and Friend.
Yay! Thanks for another chapter! :-)Been waiting for this! I love the flow of the story and the way of your writing. So eager to read what happen next :p And may I wish you and your love one Merry Christmas!
The closing of Heathrow caused quite a stirr for Xmas travellers here in DK – I don´t recall having this much snow ever. It´s perfect for being snuggled up in a corner with my computer and several updates from you. Looking forward to each of my favourite stories being continued. Have a great holiday.
I was hoping that Bette will not get smeared by Holly – but I have to trust to your storytelling genius to know it will be good no matter what. Have a great restful holiday break – thanks for writing for us when you can. Cheers to you and happy new year.
Just wonderful update. Thank you.
