**Over There** or **Year Two, Part Six** (stylized in lowercase) is the fourteenth chapter overall in We Have A Whore For A President

## Synopsis

Rumsfeld informs Bush about the growing problems in the country, and in others. Bush gets a surprise visit.

## Plot

George awakens in a darkened closet after the state dinner. Cheney and Rumsfeld initially try to drag him out of the room but do succeed in waking him up. Rumsfeld tells him that Cheney found him in the closet next to a spit-looking substance, to which Cheney smirks. He also goes on to say that while he was in the closet, some Senate Republicans wanted him to use force in Iraq. Cheney refutes this by saying almost all of them did. George questions this, Cheney also refutes this because he wants to get revenge on the people who were responsible for the September 11th attacks. He also reminds him that his wife was distraught over the realization of their children being by themselves, and watched her sob on the floor of the school. Rumsfeld supports Cheney's plan and suggests they'll execute the person responsible. George asks if he's suggesting they go to Congress and ask to go to war. Rumsfeld reassures, saying that all he'll have to do is make a few statements, then hand all responsibility and press to Condi. Bush questions the plan once more. Rumsfeld brings up how during his father's presidency, there was a similar war, but it never really ended. He'll think of the plan, then hand responsibility to Condi. George questions why it should be her that should put up with the war. Cheney lists how she's put up with things before and didn't complain. Rumsfeld agrees and adds that she was "made for a job like this". George only nods which Rumsfeld takes as a yes and leaves the room. Cheney questions George's level of concern and where it has come from. George responds to this by saying that he has always had concerns about her largely because she may or may not have a family to go home to. Cheney mocks his character while George continues to defend his position. He accuses Justin Trudeau of being the person responsible for George's state and the semen puddle next to his body when they found him.

Condi explains to Karl that making pasta isn't complicated. She explains the various steps while he sits and watches. They jokingly argue about one's ability to cook, with Karl not knowing how to. While she has her back turned, he comes to the realization that he likes her, and is possibly in love with her. When she turns back around to have him try the food, he is speechless at the taste, so much so that he accuses her of putting a drug in it. Rumsfeld enters the room and pulls her out into the hallway to talk. He informs her that on top of the possible war in Iraq, there has been an ongoing war in Afghanistan, and that she has to go to the Middle East. The two come short of arguing before Rumsfeld reassures her that she is perfect for the job. Upon his departure, she realizes that he didn't give her a date of return, which bothered her.

She enters the room again to find Karl

George feels conflicted about going to war and remembers there is a wine closet, courtesy of continues. Upon walking in and grabbing a bottle, a pair of hands come out of the darkness and begin caressing his face, not too long before they start choking him. He drops the bottle to hit and scratch at them. The position of the hands changed, with the thumbs pressing on the middle of his throat, making him fully unable to breathe. Because of this, and his consciousness slipping from him, he falls to the ground. Glass cuts through his blazer and into his arms and back. Vladimir Putin emerges from the closet, saying he missed him. George tries to say something in response, but due to how long he'd been choked, he couldn't. George tries to crawl with the remaining energy in his body. Putin urges him to not proceed with his current plot and remain still.

Pierce calls her mother and informs her that she has been invited to go to Chappaqua with Bill and Hillary. Laura, who is now hearing this for the first time, asks when she'll be back.

The conversation about the wars continue between Karl and Condi. Condi explains to Karl how she's unqualified in all aspects to travel to the Middle East, highlighting again that she hasn't been briefed on the issue.
