The L Wing – chapter 233
“Could you let Tina know that I arrived safely and could I have some coffee ?”
“Certainly Madam President “
Left alone I get up and with the help of my stick I hobble to one of the comfortable chairs
“Take a seat Shane “
“I would rather stand “
“That wasn’t an offer Shane – that was an order “
She sits down and I take a few seconds to assess her body language – she is nervous – her finger nails have been bitten down to the quick. She can barely hold my gaze
“Where were you last night ?”
“Unavailable “
“Your job doesn’t have a clock out card – like mine doesn’t “
She doesn’t reply
“I want to help you Shane but if you don’t talk to me how can I ?”
“Why are we having this conversation ?”
“Because I want it and may I remind you that this is my ball game – I make the rules and I change them when I want to at no notice to anyone. Last night the TV was running a story that one of my Senior Staffers had resigned – that was the first I had heard of it. It took Tina and I about 30 minutes to run the story down to discover that it was Phyllis. I spoke to her and she told me that you told her to resign – why do I only hear about this story via the TV ? Secondly I sack Senior Staffers – not you. I might tell you to deliver the bullet but I load the gun. Then when all hell is breaking loose you are missing and finally and worst of freaking all I discover that you have been keeping me out of the loop over just about everything. I will not be played and you are fucking well doing it to me”
Shane doesn’t answer – she looks at me with something that looks like fear in her eyes
“Shane – what the hell is happening with you ?”
“I am protecting you “
“I don’t need protecting from my senior staff – in fact I don’t need protecting at all”
“You do – since you became a mother your head hasn’t been in the game “

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!
