I arrive and am greeted by Alice who I standing outside the building. She walks across the snow covered lawn and nods at me
“You want me to carry your bag ?”
“I can manage “
“You are walking with a stick – let me carry your bag “
“Okay “
“You want an update ?”
“Yes “
“Shane isn’t in yet – CJ has briefed all of us and we are all looking forward to the Senior Staff meeting – its about time we all had a frank say about things round here”
“Glad you approve “
“Did Tina tell you that the two of us have been talking ?”
“Yes – Alice – – I am glad that you are going to be around”
“I have had a long talk to Lucy and I feel bad that I didn’t come to you. I could have told Lucy to speak to Tina and that way I would have been keeping out of it “
“I would have preferred it if you had come to me “
“We couldn’t get to you Bette “
I stop and look at Alice
“How bad has it been ?”
“Bloody. She’s changed beyond all recognition “
“Stress ?”
“Shane has always just sailed through stress like it wasn’t there. She is the one who operates on no sleep and main-lining coffee “
“And now ?”
“I was looking for some words to describe her “
“What did you come up with ?”
We reach the main door to the West Wing and its opened for us. I look at Alice who gazes back at me
“Impossible “
“Impossible to describe ?”
“No – that’s the best word I can come up with – she’s impossible to damn well work with “
“That has been said about me “
“Difference is – you get to be a hard task master because you are the President. I know your chief of staff has to be a like a Rotweilzer protecting you which is why I was never in the running for the job but this puppy is out of control “
—————————————————
I go to my office and take the weight off my feet. I summon CJ who arrives looking as in control as I am going to need her to be. She comes in and looks quizzically at the walking stick

Wowza, lots of drama. Poor Shane. Can’t wait to see what happens next!
And the Drama Queen is back!! Go Ally, go Ally….can’t wait to see how Tina will react to the news that Carmen left Shane three weeks earlier….
poor shane.
5 hours with a therapist??? Maybe Shane is being brainwashed and is cooperating in what she thinks is helping/protecting the Prez…or is that too Sci Fi?hope all ends well with Shane and Bette
wow carmen never told tina she left shane??? WTF is going on,lol more drama go for it ally! :)PPS
This never happened before, but reading the last line literally made me gasp for breath. Wow. PPS
Oh WOW!!! The drama queen is doing her thing. WTF is going on? Carmen did not tell Tina that she had left Shane. WHY NOT?, and she had every opportunity to tell her when they talked. Oh my goodness. Is Shane doing drugs? She would almost have to be to make Carmen leave her. Now I can hardly wait to see what happens next. Great post AllyE.PPS
oh my that is so sad…poor shane…
wow that was a surprise.Why Carmen left Shane and didn’t say anything?? thats too weird…something Shane is not telling there..poor Shane. I hope Bette sees that Shane can’t leave there alone..she should call the therapist that helped Tina and maybe convince Shane that she needs treatment and not work. And if I was Carmen I would track her down and have a serious talk..at this point maybe she is the only who knows better what is going on. Great story..amazing writing! Thanks.
Damn, maybe Shane really DOES have head worms! If it weren’t for the therapist, I would have been ready to blame the $cientologists, but maybe it’s just as simple a crystal meth addiction. I can’t blame Carmen for getting the kid away from Shane, but to just ditch her was shitty. (If that’s how it really happened-I’m not sure Shane’s version of anything is accurate right now.)
Great chapter. Really exciting and intriguing.
I have really been enjoying this story from the very start. This latest plot twist with Shane kind of reminds me of “The Manchurian Candidate”. Maybe Shane was brainwashed while she was kidnapped to sabotage the presidency??? Hence the repetition of the “I was trying to protect you” line. Very interesting. Can’t wait til the next chapter.Great story!!!!
I hope Shane let’s Bette help her – you write so damn well – this chapter was so beautifully and tightly crafted – WOW WOW WOW is what my mind is saying.
Whoa, I am VERY concerned for Shane if she is alone and not properly dealing with her emotional problems. I hope that Bette does her best to help her and not let her leave alone. Maybe Carmen left because Shane would not get help or Shane made her leave. I understand if Carmen deamed this to personal to Tina like they have not talked to anyone about Bette’s issues with Kit and Melvin. GREAT work Ally, PPS :o).
Hey AllyE, Great couple of chapter, I have just caught up with. Good to have Bette doing the tough job of sorting things out wiht Shane. It is one of the hardest things that Bette will evger do but she has to protect her staff, family and people from Shane’s reckless behavior. Tle last line said it all. Shane is like a rudderless ship without a compass. She is just causing havoc wherever she goes. Between Bette and a good therapist Shane can find here way back to a safe habor and those she loves and adores. Her heart is missing. Cna’t wait to read more. As always entertaining and exciting storytelling. Thank you so much, Your Loyal Fan.
Whoa! Drama-rama at its best is back at the West Wing. Thank you for a crackling chapter, Ally! :>
shit, that was a doozie u dropped on us at the end!!!!! pps
Wow that was great Ally, I hope that Shane will take all the help she can get. I love this story so very much and I can’t wait to read what you have in store for us next. Have a wonderful day dear.
oh noo shane need help now, this is bad!
