Introduction

Miko waved at her co-workers as she walked down the hallway and out of the office. She was so happy it was Friday. Miko was looking forward to her two-day weekend, she had a date with Netflix and a pepperoni pizza.

Miko smiled at the security guard. “See you Monday morning,” she said, cheerfully.

“Alright, Miko, be safe now,” the guard told her.

Miko had been working at The White House for three years now and every day she considered her job a blessing from God. Fresh out of college and looking for a job just to keep the lights on over her and her mother’s head, Miko had even thought about waitressing at the local strip club.

After slaving in school and with student debt up to her knees, Miko knew her hard work hadn’t been in vain. After five interviews and an extensive background check Miko was hired at The White House, putting her Finance degree to work.

Miko went from working for the Cabinet to the Vice-President to now being the head of his travel arrangements, along with a few other amazing people. Miko had access to anything financially related to the President and his family. She loved her job and thanked God every day for a successful career. The places and people that Miko encountered were considered a big deal from a girl who came from nothing.

Miko unlocked the doors to her Lexus and got in and made her way home. Downtown DC was always a mess before and after 5:00 p.m., but Miko enjoyed her ride home every day. She would listen to the radio and scroll through her social media pages at every red light.

Miko ordered her dinner for the night so when she made it home, so would the pizza. Stopping to grab a cheap bottle of wine, Miko was now headed towards her condo and didn’t plan on leaving until it was time to go to work Monday.

Once she made it to the parking garage and took the elevator up to the floor she lived on, she began humming and getting giddy just thinking about sliding her stockings off, unclasping the very uncomfortable bra she wore today, and putting on one of her Howard University t-shirts and a pair of fuzzy socks.

Miko walked into her home and tossed her keys on a small table in the foyer, not bothering to turn any of the lights on to guide her towards her bedroom, because she knew her way around her own crib.

“Why don’t you have an alarm?” a voice startled her.

Miko screamed and dropped her cell phone and work bag on the floor. She backed up towards the wall, not really knowing what else to do besides pray that whoever the hell was in her house didn’t kill her.

“YOU CAN HAVE WHATEVER YOU WANT!” she told the intruder.

The man laughed. “You have nothing I want, trust me.  Come sit, Miko, I’m not here to hurt you.”

Miko wondered if this was a dream and if she was still at work dozing off. She closed her eyes and clicked her heels, but when she heard the man coming closer she knew this was not a dream.

“Come have a seat. I’ll be gone in five minutes, I promise,” he told her.

Miko asked, “And you’re not here to kill me?”

“I have no reason to. You live a pretty good life besides that little affair you got going on that you don’t think nobody knows about, but I’m not here for that.”

Miko finally opened her eyes and stared at him the best she could. There wasn’t much light in her condo which is how this dude managed to sit on her couch unnoticed. He reached over and flipped the light so he could look at her up close, finally.

“Do you know who I am?” he asked.

Miko sighed and nodded her head. “Yes.”

“Good, let’s take a seat. I got shit to do,” he commanded.
