Presidential Shift - Episode 1
“10:15am, December 15th They’d been waiting for the president for fifteen minutes.
“You think we should call him on the fifteen-minute rule?” asked Cal with a smirk.
Daniel returned the look.
“I’m not sure that would go over well.”
“You’re probably right. Our professors at U.Va didn’t like it much when we up and left after waiting for them for fifteen minutes.”

Before Cal could finish his sentence, the president stepped into the Oval Of...fice followed by two aides.
“Cal, Daniel, I’m really sorry I’m late.”
Both Marines stood to shake the president’s hand.
“Doesn’t bother me, Mr. President. It was Daniel that was about to enact the fifteen minute rule,” said Cal with a straight face.
Daniel glared at his friend. There was an awkward pause as the president glanced between the two men. A small grin found its way to Cal’s face and the president chuckled.
“You Marines never let up, do you?”MoreLess
