Don't choose him. Pick me

I drove my baby home. Her tear-soaked face was heartbreaking. I picked her up and explained why I was forbidding her to see her friend. Anyone who encourages a bad environment is someone who should stay away. I asked if she would like me to be in the hospital? She immediately said no. And she made peace with the fact that she will be leaving Washington, D.C., and moving to New York.

The next morning, I arrived at the Pentagon to collect my cheque, Mr. Weird was there wearing a suit and an FBI badge. I hugged Benji and gave him a cup of coffee. He said it was delicious. He wanted to know where I got it. I said a friend has opened a new coffee shop next to the restaurant Benji proposed. He smiled and promised to stop there every day on his way to work. I told him this coffee was called the wake-up call. The secret ingredient is nutmeg. The recommended dose is a pinch a day. Any more than that it will become a hallucinogen. He promised to stay within the limit. I even recommended their drip coffee. He had never heard of it. I told him it is addictive so watch out. He smiled and lead me to the Secretary of Defense. I had built them a satellite that detects IEDs. This had saved many lives. So he decided to place a huge order and transfer the entire amount to my company account. He wished me a wonderful trip and hoped I would visit the DC area soon. I told him I wouldn't be here till the middle of September. He wished me a safe trip.

Benji walked me to my car and wished me a safe trip as well. Considering that he who must not be named is still out to get me, the family is on DEFCON 5. He asked me to call the moment I land in my favorite city. I told him my favorite is Aspen. I will go there when Benji is free. This made him smile.

I got in and drove off. I realized that I was being followed so I decided to lose him. Yes, Mr. Weird was tailing me. He has gone mad. But I was driving a supercar. It was able to go under an eighteen-wheeler with no problem. By the time he got past it, I was long gone.

I made it home in record time and I was drained. So I passed out for a few hours. I was woken up by Sembi saying Sasha left for an MMA fight. She will be back in a few days. He was ordered to keep an eye on me until she gets back. I promised that I will be taking a break. So they can watch over me without any dilemmas. He smiled and suddenly remembered that GG forgot her nine o'clock pills. I screamed and ran to tell her off. I saw that she was trying to put on a brave face but I played the guilt card and she took her meds without fuss.

Benji called me while I was boarding my private jet. He said someone wanted to talk to me. Mr. Weird repeated the same words as before but with a slight modification to the sentence. "Don't choose him. Pick me." I asked him, "Who did I pick that I should you over him?" He grunted, "Benji" I laughed so hard Ems had to confiscate my phone. She asked who was on the other end of the line and when she got the answer she controlled herself long enough to answer. "Benji is married to her cousin. My cousin hasn't been on a date in the past few years. Since you are so lousy at investigations, please join the Feds." I laughed even harder and coughed, "Sweetie, he is a Fed" this did it for her. She hung up and laughed with me. The others wanted to know what was the hold-up. We got on board and explained everything and they joked about it too.
