I couldn’t for the life of me fathom why I’d been called to the president’s
home. She said it was for dinner. I didn’t buy it. Something was going on.
Something so big that she didn’t want to meet in her office or discuss it on
the telephone.
Tabiq had seen more than their share of issues. Many that we had
worked extremely hard to put behind us. And were working even harder to
build a future that was nothing like the horrid past. Unfortunately, there
were a few greedy bastards who didn’t envision the same future for our
country. They wanted the old ways. The ways that almost ruined Tabiq
forever. If President Reesa O’Connor needed my help, then my answer
would be yes. I’d do anything for my country.
I racked my brain trying to think of anything more I could be doing as
the school administrator. This meeting had to be about my job. Maybe she
wanted to pour more funds into the exchange student program so more of
our high school seniors could experience education in other countries. Each
time we met over the past year, I brought this suggestion up to her, and she
promised me there was something in the works. The students would be
beyond thrilled if that was the case. Hell, they deserved it with how hard
they’d worked to keep their grades up.
As I approached her driveway, I reminded myself not to get my hopes
up. One thing about Tabiq was that when things looked like everything was
going great, something jumped out and showed you we still had so much
work to do. Setting up any expectations of what was going to happen would
most likely lead to disappointment.
Turning onto her property, I stopped at the gate fully expecting to be
met by security guards. None. Odd. When you went to her office, you could
see security around.
Looking more closely, I noticed the cameras that were in the trees. I was
being watched, just not sure by whom. That eased my mind, because she
was invaluable, and I wasn’t sure where Tabiq would be without her
running it.
I parked my SUV in one of the vacant spots and headed for the front
door. Before I could knock, her husband opened the door.
“Good to see you. Thank you for coming,” he said.
I didn’t think I had the option of declining. I shook his hand and replied,
“Nice to see you too, Dr. O’Connor.”
The man had his hands full. Not only was he the chief of staff at the
hospital, and married to the president, but they also had a toddler. Can’t
imagine when he got time to sleep. I didn’t envy him. Not that I didn’t
enjoy the company of a woman, but I wasn’t the family type. And as far as
kids were concerned, I had an entire school that I oversaw. That was more
than enough for me.
