"Really? Great! So, phase one and two are complete." Roni said with an
evil grin on her face.

"What was the first phase?"

"The call you made."

"And the second one?"

"The second one. That was me making mom think that I will be arriving late,
and leaving early."

"You didn't?!" Sam asked in disbelief.

"Yeah, I did."

"Well that's just mean."

"Yeah, but it was a lot of fun watching her try to fumble around."

"I have this eerie feeling that the two of you are talking about me." Toby
said as he walked towards the President and the First Lady.

"Toby! Just the person I wanted to see. What are you doing in the next few
hours?"

"Rewriting all the speeches that Sam wrote. Why?"

"That can wait. I have a special assignment for you."

"Sir, I would rather just rewrite the speeches. Couldn't Sam or Josh do this
special assignment?"

"They could, but you are the one that walked into my office when this special
assignment was being created. Therefore, you get to do it."

"What is it, sir?"

"Roni has decided that she will not be joining the party right away. And
when she does show up, she thinks that she will be leaving shortly after.
Now, to get my wife to relax, I need someone to tail Roni, and make sure she
shows up at this party, on time."

"Why don't you just have the secret service do this, sir? They already tail
her."

"Well, I think it wouldn't be wise to let Roni get out of the White House,
cause from there, it'll be harder to get her to come back. And the secret
service have no control over that, you could."

"So, we were thinking if you could give Roni something to do in your office,
where you can watch her. Something that will take a couple of hours, we'd
appreciate it, Toby." Abbey chimed in.

Right around then, Mrs. Landingham entered, "Excuse me Mr. President, Mrs.
Bartlet, Roni is here."

"Send her in, would you?" Jed responded as he invited Toby to sit down.

When Roni walked in the room she got an evil look from Toby, and smiles from
her parents, "Okay, what's going on in here?"

"Roni, just the person we were looking for." Jed walked to his daughter and
kissed her on the cheek.

"This doesn't sound good." Roni said as she walked to the couches.

"Would you like to help Toby write a speech?"

"Would I like to?" Roni repeated after her father.

"Yeah."

"I think I'd rather pass. Besides, I have some things to do…which is
probably why you are wanting me to do this."
