A Different Kind Of Family ~ 7
"Danny!" CJ screamed as loud as she could.
"Yes, but there's more then what you think."
"Let me guess, he's going to be writing about my alleged love affair with the Communications Director?" CJ screamed sarcastically.
"That's some of it." Carol said quietly.
"Carol." CJ started in a small voice.
"He found some legal document that has you're signature and Toby's. I'm not sure what the document says..."
"Get him in this office right now." CJ said trying not to yell.
"Yeah." Carol ran off to find him as CJ went into her office and slammed the door. CJ sat in her chair, ready to jump out to kill someone. And that someone was going to be Danny. CJ waited and then heard a knock on the door.
"In!" CJ yelled. The door opened and in came Carol, and right behind her was Danny.
"You called my sweet." Danny joked.
"Sit your ass in that couch now, or I will make you. And trust me, you don't want me to get up." CJ said in a quiet tone.
"That was harsh." Danny looked at CJ.
"Sit!" CJ jumped up and screamed. Danny jumped and did what he was told, and Carol ran out closing the door behind her.
"What can I do for you?" Danny said quietly.
"Tell me what I can do to make you keep your new found knowledge to yourself?" CJ whispered harshly.
"What are you talking about, CJ," Danny asked, a wry grin on his face.
"Shut up, Danny. You know *exactly* what I'm talking about. How the hell did you get that piece of paper?!" CJ yelled.
"And why should I tell you that? I have rights. I don't have to tell you how I get my sources."
"Tell me, Danny. Tell me right now, or so help me G-d, I will--"
"You'll what? Go into the briefing room and tell the entire Press Corps that you have taken one of its members hostage?" Danny lifted an eyebrow.
"You are NOT a member of the Press, Danny. Give me that document."
"Under one condition," he said, crossing his arms.
"Oh, so now it's blackmail?" She turned around and looked at him.
"I wouldn't call it blackmail. I would call it payback."
"Payback," she hissed. "Who do you think you are?" She then realized that he had control of her. If she didn't comply with what he said, he would tell everyone in the Briefing Room about her signing her name, 'CJ Ziegler.'
"Okay Danny," she said quietly. "What do you want?"
"I want to be the first person the President or you talk to about the MS case. I want to be the first reporter with the information when it comes out." Danny grinned.
"No way! Are you crazy? The press will think something's up with you and me."
"Exactly."
"Danny, if I give you access to the President. If I give you access to records, everyone will think I'm playing favorites."
"Works for me."
"You're out of your mind..." CJ started to yell.
"I also don't want you to see Toby romantically."
"What?" CJ got closer to him, she wanted to hit him so bad.
"You can't tell me that you two aren't going out romantically. Come on CJ, you two have had something going on for years. All I want is you not to see him."
"I'm not seeing Toby romantically, I never have. Besides, you have no right to pry into my personal life Danny."
"I don't want to see you get hurt." Danny got up.
"I'm a big girl Danny, I can do what I want. And see who I want. Toby's my friend, he needed my help today. And now here you are trying to use that against me."
"You signed a legal document claiming to be parents to a child that doesn't belong to either one of you. That's not very smart CJ, not at all."
"So, now what?" CJ screamed.
"Get me Bartlet, and I'll give you the paper." Danny said before walking out of her office.
CJ walked to the Briefing room and just stood there for a moment. "What am I going to do now," she said quietly to herself.
