Chapter 39 - Ready? Try Ever Ready

When I got back home the November man has returned and we had to take evasive actions. I rolled up my sleeves as my family gathered around the estate. We had to circle the wagons. We also called everyone we knew to keep an eye on him. I promised to have him arrested for domestic terrorism. This made everyone very optimistic about their chances of defeating this demon.

I asked him to meet me at the train station. I also called Indigo and asked her to call SWAT about a possible terrorist threat. In the end the authorities shot my grandfather in the chest multiple times and his gang was arrested on terrorism charges.

I was escorted to a hospital after that taken to Pentagon for a briefing. The Secretary was concerned that people will try to take advantage of me. So he insisted that I get a pretend husband who will double as a protector. I knew no one that would fit the bill so he agreed to make a few calls and find one for me. Benji tried to convince the SecDef not to but was overruled. I made the mistake of telling him about Weird so he was ordered to come over immediately. He was serene as can be when he walked in. He saw me and was jostled but not as shocked as he was when the SecDef ordered him to be my husband until this blows over. He asked me what was going on and I explained. He happily agreed to marry me but it has to be real. He is not interested in being my husband for a few days and be told to take a hike. I excused myself and explained to the family to current news they weren't pleased with the situation but decided to take the high road. I agreed to marry him for real and asked him, "Are you ready?" His eyebrows fused as he signed a prenuptial agreement, "Ready? Try Ever Ready. This entire year I have been proposing to you and you have brushed me off. Now you are mine forever. I promise not to be a monster." I gave him a prenup which he signed immediately.

My family Skyped and so did the President. It was the President who married us. The entire Pentagon were witnesses to our union. We walked out to see Angie was outside arguing with a guard who refused to let her in. I asked her what happened and she asked me to come to J Edgar Hoover building to give her a statement. I had practiced an excellent story which panned out. Even Dash played along. We explained a simple story and Feds believed it but Angie and Weird didn't. They asked me what really happened and I told him that he made me believe that he had Dash as a hostage and that I should wire him Eight hundred billion dollars to an undisclosed account. I asked to see Dash with my own eyes before I transferred a single cent. He asked me to meet him in the train station where we will do the exchange but Dash talked to me on the bone mike. Confirming this was a hoax he was roping me into so I slipped into the train station carefully and saw him talking to a guy who looked suspicious. So I send a picture to a friend in the CIA and she confirmed he was on a watch list. For assisting terrorism. She refused to believe it until she saw the security footage and she lost it. I waited calmly as she finished screaming and asked permission from her boss to go home. He wished me good health and safety from all dangers as I walked out. Adam drove me and Weird home. I hugged Adam as I got out of car. He looked at me like a father would his little girl and asked if he could borrow my husband for a few minutes. I said yes as I walked towards Diana. She was happy that I was safer, happier that she got a new dad.
