A Different Kind Of Family ~ 1
"Ginger!" Toby bellowed as he walked into the communications bullpen that morning.
"Yeah, Toby," she said, sounding tired.
"Get CJ in my office NOW!" He walked into his office and closed the door.
Ginger simply looked at the closed door and shrugged. He was normally like this in the morning, but why was he so angry? She did as he said and called CJ's office.
"CJ, Toby wants to see you." Carol said while walking into CJ's office.
"What's he want now!" CJ yelled. "I swear, that man never gives up, does he?" CJ threw her papers down and got up.
"I wouldn't go in there mad CJ, he seems really mad." Carol stopped CJ before leaving. "You know how he can get. You make him mad, everyone will get a piece of it."
"Carol, I've known Toby longer then anyone else here. I can handle him." CJ smiled weakly and walked out towards Toby's office. Carol just shook her head.
"This is going to be a bad Toby day." Carol said to herself.
CJ walked through the bullpen to Toby's office. Ginger saw her, "CJ, I wouldn't--"
"It's alright, Ginger," CJ said as she opened Toby's door without knocking. She walked into the office, "What do you want now?!"
"Have you ever heard of knocking," he asked, matching her volume.
"Oh shut up you...you...idiot!" She sat down in the chair in front of his desk. "So what did you bellow me for?"
"Is that what you call it? Bellowing." Toby growled.
"What do you want?" CJ glared.
"Did you by any chance read the paper today?" He said calmly.
"Of course I did Toby." CJ moaned. "Don't start on this again..."
"CJ, I thought I told you not to tell the press..."
"Toby, you did a good deed. You gave a kid a place to stay. What's wrong with that?"
"Their calling me daddy Toby." Toby yelled.
"Look. You saw a kid in pain on the street, and you brought him into your home and took care of him. Nothing's wrong with that." CJ yelled back.
"He's not a kid. He's a little kid. He's probably around six or seven. He got hit by a car and needed some medicine. I told you, over and over not to tell anyone. The next thing I know, you tell the press..."
"What was I supposed to do Toby, a reporter caught on camera the kid going into and going out of your house numerous times. What was I supposed to say?" CJ yelled.
"He's a friend. A friends kid. I don't know, that's why you're the Press Secretary CJ!"
"Fine, what's my punishment this time?" CJ screamed.
