Son

7 King Of India

We were laid out on my bed bored of research "You're meant to know all this stuff anyway your names Lincoln. And why is your room so plain, I would have guessed your room would have been trashed" he sighed. I didnt know what to say "this isn't permanent so what's the point unpacking?" He laughed "your dad has another two years in office I think you have time".

A knock came at the door it was dad. "Oh uh I didnt expect you to have company so soon. Hi I'm Mr Mcarals, Lincolns father" he smiled at Toby, "Toby and I know it's an honour sir" he beamed back. The President looked over at me "could I have you in my office for a moment" he said rather than asked I looked over a Toby and he shrugged. "I'll be back in a sec, try not to get kicked out" I joked. I followed my dad into the hall, as soon as we were clear of the door he shoved me into the wall. He had his arm over my neck and started applying pressure. "Didn't think to tell me about this little rescue party did you?" He growled. I looked at him confused. "You don't know?" He laughed "You're telling me some petty drug dealer friends of yours were able to break in and get past security without inside help?" He asked sarcasticly. He pushed down again. I started to choke, I tried to resist but he held me in an awkward position I couldn't escape from. "Tell me who you sent. Call them off" he demanded. I struggled to breathe as I sweated. "I didn't send anyone" I tried to gargle through. "What?" He asked releasing slightly. "I didn't send anyone but I know who might of" I said between sucking in breaths. "Who?" He asked. I tried to gather my breath but there was a crash in my room. Toby cried out. I rushed in to see Trey on top of Toby holding a gun. The secret service rushed past me pushing me back to safety behind them. They started shouting at Trey. I didnt know who to call out for "Trey" I shouted over the cacophony of noise. His head snapped up and he seemed relieved when he saw me. I was pulled back and dragged away. I could see my dad being covered by a circle of armed guards being escorted to a safe room of some sorts. I was being carried as I kicked out. "TOBY" I shouted. I managed to drop to the floor but the secret service piled on top of me as there was a gunshot. "TREY" I shouted trying to get anything. I was being dragged back again. I was shoved down on the floor of a large bunker type of room. I started banging on the sealed doors. "TREY" I shouted again. My dad stormed over to me and shoved me against the steel doors. "Who the hell is that? I knew you knew" he said when I didnt reply he struck me across the face. I spat out some blood where he had struck me so hard. I shook my head. "Just let me go home. Angelina stood up from the large conference like table. Sofie remained sitting just staring at us. Angelina put her hand on his shoulder. "Darling perhaps we need to let go" she smiled gently. He didn't look at her. Just starred into my eyes trying to read something. "You know that's not an option." He said quietly. A general who was also escorted to safety stepped forwards "the plan needs to be initiated sir. We can't have these interuptions" I looked over at him.

"What plan?" I asked quietly. There was silence. "WHAT PLAN?" I shouted. The General seemed to urge my father to tell me.

"Now Link, let's have a seat. I uh-" he tried to say sitting down defeatedly. "Just tell me" I said barely audible.

"You know the Indian King is visiting tomorrow, he is coming with his daughter as his wife is sick therefore she'll be taking her place. However as you're probably aware that India has just come into some oil reserves that border American land. If he hates us, which he currently does, he will have no reason not to declare full ownership and start a war. However, his daughter is known to be an unofficial cheif councilor to him. If we could some how bond her relationship to the US, it would avoid conflict." He sighed and I nodded. "You've got Sofie, why don't they just hang out and be best friends" I shrugged. He shook his head "the bond has to be... official." He tried to hint the seriousness.

I shook my head. "No. No. No. No. No no no no no" I said denying everything. "I can't marry her. I haven't even met her. I don't even know her name. You can't do this to me." I said then took a few seconds to fully think this through. Convenient timing for him. Too convenient. "You haven't been searching for me have you. You only put put an alert when you needed me for a property move." I slid my back down the door and put my head in my hands. Angelina tried to put a hand on my back but I shoved it off.

I stood up and faced the door away from them. "Open the doors" I said through gritted teeth. "I swear to God if you don't open them God damn doors I'll be the fucking threat to national security" I growled. The doors slid open and I walked out. I went to my room, the place was trashed. Things knocked over bullet holes in the walls. They had sent Toby home. I sat on my bed trying to think how the hell I was going to get out. Dinner rolled around and I decided I needed to set things clear. I walked into the dinning room. Everything was silent and still.

"I'll do it"
