Danny stared at Charlie in disbelief. "He wants me to do what?"
Despite the situation Charlie grinned. "Be a reporter."
"I am a reporter."Danny replied as he stepped away from the wall.
Charlie shook his head. "He needs you in front of the camera."
"I don't do well in front of the camera."Danny replied his palms already starting to get sweaty.
"Danny...."Young started but the reporter held up his hand.
"Forget it, Charlie."Danny replied with a shake of his head. "You guys really don't want me in front of a camera, I mean it, it's scary. That's why I became a newspaper reporter. I get clammy, my throat dries up, my hands shake....."
Charlie placed a hand on the older man's shoulder drawing him away from a trio of medical students. "It's part of his plan to get CJ and the others out."
Danny instantly forgot his fear. He'd do whatever he had to do, to get CJ out of danger. "Just tell me where and when."

"Everything in place?"Bartlet asked as Toby came to stand next to him.
Ziegler nodded. "If this works I'm going to buy the Brooklyn Bridge."
"It has to work, Toby."Bartlet replied grimly as he leaned against his desk. "I don't want this to come down to the Swat team bursting in and shooting up the place. If I have to call them in the odds....."
"I know, Sir."Toby replied quietly his thoughts on his friends.
