“See for yourself” he replied

I take a look at it and i definitely like what i saw “Mmm, pancakes and coffee. That's perfect cause I don't want to ever sleep like I did last night”

“After you're done, join me outside” He said right before he left.

GRAYDEN POV -----

I visited my dearest friend who came in United kingdom abruptly to do something for the Vice President and was hanging out in the Prime minister palair.

I received a call from the prime minister assistant saying that he was waiting for me to play A game of chess like we always do when he wasn't working for this Grupy kangaroo. That is when we were the closest.

I was surprise to heard the news that he was by himself, things he never did.

Being somewhere without the Vice president.

He is his most trusted or should I said his right hand after all just like I was trying to covert my son Brayden into.

But he kept rebelling till all of this drama. He is a bit closer to me since all of this, hopefully we will be more like his mother dreamed off. An happy father with his happy son.

It would have been a dream come true for everyone.

But first we got to deal with this mess and then we'll see.

30 minutes later I make my way to the Prime minister palair to find my Friend Francis.

When I got there seating on a mini table waiting for with the chess board infront of him.

He was maleheureux but as soon as he saw me his face weaken.

He stood up and give me a proper greeting, from now on we bagan to play and while playing we started to also say what was on our minds and began making remarks about each other.

"I know that you are here to retrieve something for the Vice president but why are you still here?" I demanded

"Man, I was supposed to be back in Washington since 5 A.M but the Vice president private plane got stopped in Malaysia because of a storm," he bend his head down to take a glance at his watch them he frowned.

"Now, look it is 2 P.M and I'm still here and got this plan with him today at 1..."

"Apparently not anymore," I added

We bust out of laught the he looks at me and comfirmed"Apparently not anymore,"

I pretend that I didn't see that and try not to leave any room for him to began annoying me at the fact that he was kicking my ass, like he always did when he is winning so spoke.

"Everything is boring in this country, nothing to do and no where to be," I exclaimed 

"Well said, but it's only because we politician and we'll known so we are not going to take the chance of being seeing doing anything with the wrong people nor being in the wrong places." he replied

"You spent 7 years in here, how did you do that by the way? With no party to go and no pleasure around...i know you a fact this ain't you." he added

"With my son and my wife being here most of the time. Was enough," I affirmed and when I suddenly make a move that will guarantee me the win, I got proud and I let a scream out "GOT YOU, FUCKING GOT YOU BITCH"

"Smart move" he simply complimented me and the he continues "But yeah, nothing else with make you happier in this world but your family!!"

"Not all, as soon as they not there and I got bored I said 'F everything' then I went to this place"

"what place?" he was eager to know

"It is a private night club, with strippers and stuff but nothing interrested me more than the music and the vibes!" I ranbled.

"Now that is the Grayden that I know can you show me this place since I just got more bad news that i'm here for tomorrow," suggested Francis

"Of course bud, come au beau vieut temps"

"Come au beau vieut temps," he completed.

Then we kept going till obviously I won. But it was all thanks for the move I made earlier while he was distracted.

"And that's it!!!" I yelled "I still got it,"

He scoffs "Don't forget I got the most win, 197 to 196"

"you gotta take my moment and make it yours don't you?"

"Well, it just a warning to you so you can get a hold on yourself since technically i'm still the king!" he affirmed

"The king is going down, just give it time" I squawked

"I would like to see that," he whispered.

While we were going at it, by being challenging to each other then I reached to grabbed my glass of whiskey in front of me then I saw the news on TV.

"The Ambassador who is supposed to be in the United Kingdom under the order of the President is just now rumored to be still in Los Angeles as you can see the picture which is not so clear after all but you can see the person in it got the ressemblance," say the news

"And the one in the United kingdom is simply a decoy!" they added just before passing at other things.

I seen that I quickly got up and was shocked "Hold that thought, I got to go back at the Ambassy to see what is going on," I say and Francis see the way I was and he can tell that I was also nervous but I tried my best to not let it be seen.

He looked at his phone and also stood up and stated "Ah...About that. The storm stopped so I should be departed tonight,"

"Oh, okay."

"but we will be seeing soon for another part dear friend!" said Francis with both hands on his pocket "And I hope your son is doing okay."

I nodded and then I get going.
