Executive Privilege, Ch. 02
Jake sipped his drink, then set it down and looked at me. “Tell me, how solid is your marriage?”
“Very solid, Mr. Henderson,” I said, taking another sip of my drink. “Why?”
“That’s good to hear. You see, I’m afraid you’re going to have to cancel your weekend plans,” he said. “If your marriage is as solid as you say, I’m sure your wife will understand.” He looked at Harvey and gave a slight nod.
Harvey went to another door, opened it, and came back to stand behind my chair. I felt a bit uncomfortable with that and wondered what was about to happen. Then I saw the other guard, Lenny Jameson, come through the door, but he wasn’t alone. Katie was with him. He led her to Henderson and stepped back. I was shocked at what I saw.
Katie wore a very short, backless dress. The front of her dress was open all the way to her waist, and it was clear she wasn’t wearing a bra. The hem of the dress fell just a couple of inches below her ass. She looked in my direction but didn’t seem to recognize me. I looked at her face and saw her eyes. She appeared to be drugged, and I thought I saw something white on one nostril.
“Katie,” I said. “What are you doing here? Why are you dressed like that?” She looked at me but didn’t respond. Her eyes appeared to be glazed over, and it was obvious she had been drugged. I looked back at Henderson.
“What is the meaning of this?” I asked. “Why is she here, dressed like that? She’s obviously drugged. What did you give her?”
