And I am right -its not good. Last week I ordered a covert operation to rescue some charity workers who were being held by a rebel group in the heart of a very unfriendly region of an African nation. Today I get the news that it was a total cock up – one helicopter exploded for no explained reason, some of the soldiers have been captured by the rebels and are about to be paraded on TV . This is one of the first times that I have fatalities as a result of my orders and its hard for me to take. Its even less easy to take because I went against Shane’s advice and ordered the operation. In truth I also went against Tina’s advice – she told me to do it by less confrontational methods. But I over-ruled both of then – went with the advice of the Head of the Joint Chiefs and the consequence is that I have blood on my hands.
I cannot afford to feel sorry for myself – I have to get the remaining troops out and I also need to get the bodies back so they can be brought home. I know that I am going to be slaughtered by the press and the storm is going to be a hard one to ride. So it’s a shitty two hours in the briefing room discussing options then its straight into a sober Senior Staff meeting
“Has this broke yet Henry ?”
“Not as of about 15 minutes ago “
“Well lets get it out there – call a press conference – give then the briefest of details. CJ – get me the head of the UN on the phone – I want to see if he will do some backdoor diplomacy for us “
“Something you should have done last week “ Shane says looking up from her notes
“Shane – would you like to come out and just say that you told me so ? “
“Okay – I told you and you ignored me because you don’t like being called chicken by the republicans -this
was a stupid and ill thought out operation and things are going to be very tough “

It happens, you don’t really expect a president to be all the time on the right mind to make right decisions, but it is sad nonetheless to see that Bette was implicated in such action. The story continue to amaze me of how attractive and interesting it still is, you are a great person and writer dear. I am so happy that your girlfriend is coming back, so make the best of it, and have fun.Have a great day
Well…as others have commented I too, still get excited when you post a chapter of this fantastic story! Did you hear about how with Jennifer’s heavy campaigning for Obama that many are looking towards her starting to run for president??? AND…Hilary won 3 more states…meaning you could have very well written America History!! Now for this chapter. I have to say that Shane was in the wrong, because in the end the President should listen to the person with the most experience…meaning Miltary wise..as for Tina…I love how you made a point of both Tina AND Shane not agreeing with Bette’s decision and how differently they responded to the situation. I honestly was thinking about writing you and telling you to have Bette do a decision presidential wise that would go against something Tina said…and you go and do it…the thing is…not only do you have her go…”Hey it’s not your fault…” but you also have Tina support her AND tell her she is still a good president. Shane on the other hand…what the hell i would have never expected her to do that to Bette…so then the question remains…what the hell is going on with Shane….Kit…yeah…i can’t really feel that Kit should be blamed with the fact that Bette’s mom left..BUT how she behaved in the last chapter AND making the comments about being the real grandmother of Ella bodes not to well…it means that she will always bring that shit up and that ain’t good. The fact that she can’t see that Bette is raw…well…it makes me want to slap her upside the head…ok…can’t wait for more of your fics…which ever one you choose to bless us with!
I feel for Bette being the President means you have to make unpopular decisions and stand by them even when they fail. I hope that she can get a safe return for the rest of the soldiers and the charity workers. And Bette was right Shane can disagree but in front of others she needs to be united. I am glad that Tina is able to be there for Bette and give her a solid safe place.
AllyE, thanks for such a great story, the little family continues to survive all the crap tht is dished toward them. Shane and Kit were both wrong. Kit is acting out of guilt and Shane is acting out from an overly enlarged ego. Keep loving our girls and keep writing for us. We love you and your stories.
Not the best day for the first family eh
But I do love my country! Just not all its choices!
That was my fear when I first discover your Bette as a President, that someday she would have blood on her hands. Oh by the way, Bette don’t bother contacting French government they are useless! A nazi dwarf and a lot of puppets with a nice looking bitch as First Lady.
Still loving this story. Continue soon please.
221 chapters and I STILL get excited when I see a new posting. Thanks for keeping the story so fresh amd for continuing to share it.
Since Carmen was Shane’s conduit, did Tina perhaps relay to her (and Shane) why Bette was extra raw? And Kit just up and quit? I guess since I’m in hibernation mode for the day I’d better go back and read that chapter with the Porters took off the gloves. As long as the blizzard has me housebound, I’m very happy to have my internet!
I still get excited when I see an update to this story! Still as exciting 221 chapters later. Hope Bette doesn’t hold a grudge too long. She can really act like a big baby sometimes. Hope you get to see C!
OMG!!! Kendra, is that a way to talk about our handsome bling bling president and his charming bride?… Huh… Yeah!!!!! …LMAO!!! Morte de rire!!! I admit that compared to your Presidential family, Ally, the Elysee couple is a big joke!!!… and that’s an understatement! Anyway, Bette has quite some stuff to deal with it seems… So glad, she has her little family for support! The cuddle was cute as hell… Thanks!
Ally omg you gave bette a more than a plate full. everyone needs to take sometime and think about it and settle down… everyone knows bette always needs time.. kit resigning was a bit uncalled for.. she is making it personal as bette is. work first than personal second… :)
Fabulous as always Ally! Not sure what is up with Shane. I agree with Bette, as her Chief of Staff Shane should have never said those things, and especially in the way she did, in front of the Joint Chiefs, or the senior staff. That whole discussion should have taken place in a room with just the two of them. I too get excited whenever I see another chapter of this story. And, thank you for never coasting through a chapter…every single one always gets your best…I appreciate that!
Great chapter…Will T go to Afganistan…time will tell…love the current drama…
Ha-ha Kendra, u crack me up about your bling-bling President…my-my…not many readers from France appear to appreciate his finer talents-whatever they are!!! Lol…now to the story, Ally, very intense…Kit shuld leave Bette alone for awhile as should Melvin. What’s up with Leigh???? Love Tina as always. Hope your reunion is special. PPS
GREAT chapter Ally. I know that Tina is tired and has her hands full with Ella, but as Bette’s wife she needs to step up and help Bette operate with a clearer head. She needs to tell Bette that she needs to send Kit as her envoy to try to smooths things out and accomplish the main goal (the return of as many LIVE citizen as possible). It can also serve a dual purpose of getting Kit far away from her and allow her time to come to grips with what she has learned. Yes Kit over reacted by resigning and she over reacted by snapping off Shane’s head in their staff meeting. Everone needs to take a minute to CALM down. PPS :o).
Ally..i have to admit that this is my favorite story….so i cant wait until the next post….oh i do love the drama….
This hard for Bette, too many drama for her and hope she will go through this with Tina help, hope Ella get well soon. Please post more, thanks!
