Dunena was head in to the offices that he had set up for the campaigne that were full of people working to make him the new minster of magic there were memo flying every which way and owls flying and out the new floos that had been set up on one wall to help contact all the voters and get Dunena's massage across.
Dunena had put on his dark blue suit with a light blue shirt and a red tie and black shoes that had been polished with an inch of there life.
There were people talk in to floos and as Dunena walked in he had made a point of coming in every day and doing all his programming work for the mad mad world from the little office in the back of the shop front that had his campaign poster and his catch phrase ' because he can'.
Dunena was arriving early to prepare for the meeting with his campaign manager george as Dunena wished to discuss an official responses to the Stories about Emma and bill and Ted ( the Llamas) that was not just his show but him as a official minster of magic candidate.
" good morning all " Dunena greeted the lovely lady that ran the office Jellen or Janice or something like that Dunena had had a lot of trouble with her name since moving in to this office.
But Dunena had been distracted a lot since moving in as he often found him self day dreaming about the buatiful Emma and how he could woo her.
Dunena had decided to speck with many muggles about it means to be Muggle in the magical world which had made the pages of the more reputable news paper under the banner of MOM candidate reaches out to muggleborns community.
Dunena walked over to Annabeth's Desk the young witch that had been assigned to his schedule.
" I have a meeting with george dismorring pls see that we are not interrupted" dunena winked as she confirmed that she would see to that. " no problem mr Reid "
Dunena contained in to his office and sat beside the wood desk and waited for george to arrive.

Life had been hectic since getting back from Coachella, everyone at WWBN seemed to be beefing up either for the Elections or the Wizarding World Games and while Benjamin had wanted to get to talk to Daniel as soon as possible he'd only just managed to slot in for a good hour to explain that things with Dunena's Weird Weird World just where not working out and he really needed a change. Things had been organized, he'd swapped shifts with Terry Frost for the meantime and Daniel had mentioned that it could be possible for him to get a gig as part of the coverage of the Games next month. Benjamin didn't know if he wanted that one, he'd never been overseas and England might as well have been another planet from Benjamin's Eyes. Cherry's words where still very much in his mind as he jogged though the streets of New York enjoying a day where the sun was out more then the clouds.. he needed to think and with a fresh mix of tunes in his earbuds and messages from Claire telling him to do what he believed in Benjamin knew there was only one hurdle left.
Dunena Reid.
His face was everywhere the moment Benjamin crossed into the Wizarding sector, smiling down from walls and waving in windows, always matched with the slogan that didn't really say anything but gave just enough hope that things could change. The energy reminded him of New York on January 20, 2009 when Obama took office and it looked for a moment that America really could do everything it promised. Sneakers pounding pavement Benjamin tried to ignore the face but it was impossible as he stopped in front of the shopfront that all but screamed 'VOTE 1 DUNENA REID' Benjamin felt sick, his mother had gotten a unsolicited floo from one of Dunena's people and while she had raved to him about how 'lovely' it all was and how good it was that someone was finally standing up to Frump Benjamin just had to stand there and keep quiet about how he'd watched the crowds turn at the protest, people had been hurt because they believed in Dunena Reid and he sure as hell didn't want his Mom being one of them. Swallowing to stop from choking on his hate for the crowd of people inside the building Benjamin stepped into the room only to look around, disorientated by all the humm of activity around him. No wonder the quality of the show had been lacking of late since Dunena insisted on doing all his work here instead of back at the studio where there was proper equipment and rooms designed for focus on the best sound, Benjamin was frankly embarrassed by what had gone out of late and it had gotten harder and harder to find good callers and not just endless folks calling up to wish Dunena well and badmouth Frump live on air. Benjamin would never in a million years think that he'd miss the French Bint but even she was a improvement to dealing with yet another desperate housewitch wanting a piece of Dunena's Reid. "Hey, I'm here to see Dunena Reid" Benjamin said to the woman behind the main desk, the look on her face was not at all friendly especially when she whined that 'everybody' wanted to see Mr Reid and he was booked out for the day and the rest of time unless otherwise advised. "Fuck.." Benjamin couldn't help but swear, his patience gone from being told that he could always leave a message of support with one of the assistants or write a note. Nobody cared who he was, he was just some anonymous guy who may have brought Dunena Reid to the world long before all these people and hangers on.. but that didn't matter one bit and so Benjamin was left to take a seat and wait.... this was not how Benjamin had imagined this would go.

George was completely aware of what was going on. He'd already been working on it, in his own particular way. What that was, no one really knew. He had been setting up photo ops and appearances for Dunena and owling him the times and dates to show up. George had not missed the photos that had appeared in Witches Weekly of a young blond Muggle in Australia. George was not pleased. Not at all. If people feared hearing the Queen of England say "We are not amused", they were completely terrified when George McQueen informed them he was not amused. George was currently not amused.
What Dunena did not know was that George had already arrived at his campaign office before anyone else through the Floo Network and had let himself into the private office and found a chair in a darkened corner to wait. He had cast an invisibility charm around himself that would keep him hidden from any one until such time as he would choose to reveal himself. George waited until Dunena had settled in and been quiet for a few moments before doing so.
Ending the charm, he glared at his candidate. "Just what the bloody hell do you think you are doing getting yourself and your friend plastered all over Witches Weekly. Trying to make them think you're a carbon copy of Frump?" George asked in a voice that demanded answers and had left many ministry employees shaking in their shoes even if it wasn't directed to them when he was seeking the screw up responsible for an error. "And let your producer in before he sulks himself into a complete funk." Yes, George was aware of who came and went in the headquarters at any given time thanks to his proper Slytherin education.

Dunena was day dreaming about his beautiful Emma When he heard voices from the outer office well they shop front area beyond the cardboard screen bought him back to the real world it was then that he realized the voice swearing was none other than Bjay the squib boy. It was then george came across all british with his serial killer thing that he dose. Dunena jumped up and turned on George.
I must remember to check dark Connors for spies.
" All right Annabeth!! please send in Bjay. He's the man without the appointment" Dunena yelled well when I say yelled spoke loudly thorough the cardboard wall thing.
" and could you please stop being all British and use a door" Dunena advised George .
" and for your information it was not my idea for the photos Those I idorts are following me" Dunena crossed his arm and sat back down
" you should look in to that and I nothing like frumpy I only date one woman at a time not marry one and sleep with others" it was at that minute he remembered the envelope that appeared to be from not so annonmas joe that had arrived with information on French bit one miss fifi laroux and Mr Ronald Frump in a rather compromising position or so it aspired Dunena had almost discounted it as yet more fake photos but he was not going to be accused of frumpy ness when frumpy did enough of that for the whole world.
Dunena kept digging in draws looking for the red envelop that had a note and some photos.
It was to bad he was in the elections this would make a great show is this a fake can Joe be trusted is frumpy really still sleeping around we're the fake sent to him first so that when the real photos showed up he would just throw them away but alas he was in the election and was therefor no longer alluded to do shows of that type and since getting clean the world just seamed less well... More Normale things were just not happening the same way anymore Merlin he missed the feeling he got from a good hit of .... Well anything really the looked up and gleared at George. It really was not George's fault well kind of if George was not there he could just walk a way from this take some stuff and write it off as a joke and make fun of frumpy on the show again
"fucken crap stupid" Dunena mumbled and kept looking for the red envelop not sure who he was madder at him self, frump or just the lack of care any one had for stopping the corrupt minster. Maybe it was just the missing envelop he was mad at.

George rolled his eyes at the way Dunena called out regarding his producer. "Really, Reid," he said dryly, "You treat everyone the way you're treating someone who's supposed to be a friend and you might as well pack this all up now." Now don't go thinking dear old George has a heart and cares about friendships. The only thing George cares about is his goals and this was about getting Dunena in office. "Just what the press needs to see happen on top of your little publicized dalliance in Australia."
"And it's not 'being all British', it's about being a wizard. Wizards travel by magic, magic is quiet and discreet," McQueen told him, leaving out the part about it was also proper Ministry behaviour (at least in his mind) to sneak before being sneaked upon. George was also kind (read that not in a mood to bring it up again) enough to leave off the part about discreet being unlike Reid's behaviour in Australia.
They had serious things to discuss but Dunena was digging around his desk for something and, not knowing that Dunena thought Anonymous Joe (at least anonymous to everyone but George and Anonymous Joe) had sent another envelope, which Joe had not, figured Dunena was searching for what recovering druggies usually searched for. Taking a small cellophane packet out of his pocket, George casually tossed it with accuracy toward Dunena's desk. With the packet in mid air, George asked, "This what you're looking so desparately for?" The door opened and the aforementioned Benjamin could witness the packet of cocaine that now lay on his boss' desk.

Re: Time to fight back ( george McQueen)
Wed Jun 06, 2012 6:42 pm
Being in Dunena's office reminded him of the WWBN live show, people running about with paperwork and scheduled while there was the constant noise of folks talking and explaining on the other end of the Floo how Mr Reid was running for Minister for Magic and all that crap. As if anyone didn't know that?! Hearing a blip from his phone Benjamin was semi-content to sit and wait on the couch until he could manage to speak to his boss alone.. though what chance he had against all these other people Benjamin didn't know. Smiling a little at a photo of his niece-in-law-ish Benjamin looked up abruptly when he heard the familiar voice of Dunena Reid speaking to the women at the desk, Benjamin didn't pay attention to what was said until the woman chastised him for not making it clear that he had a appointment (which he didn't as far as he ever knew) and informed him that he was right to go though. So this was it? Benjamin tucked his iPhone into his hoodie and for a moment considered walking in and saying it was nothing, that everything was cool and right to go for next weeks show. Dunena had always been willing to pay that little extra out of his pocket.. previously in part because Benjamin was able to bring in some weed or other light stuff to share but that had all ended after the overdose to the point where even he couldn't smoke one of his cigars lest it lead to Dunena falling off the bandwagon all over again.
"Thanks" Benjamin forced himself to say to the lady at the front desk as he passed her, he felt she deserved some much harsher words but Benjamin had learned a long time ago that it was pointless getting angry, 'anger never fixed nofin'' his Mom used to say and so taking a slow breath he opened the door to Dunena's office, he'd only gotten one step when his eyes spotted that thin man that Cherry had described. The chill on the back of his neck, Benjamin didn't consider himself a expert but he knew when he wasn't liked and the guy looked like he'd quite happily stab out his eyes and eat them to boot. With the man looking at something Benjamin followed his gaze to see a familiar style of packet on Dunena's desk, so the guy was really Dunena's drug dealer? That explained more then a lot of the 'weirdness' but right now Benjamin's carefully held composure cracked to know that all his pussyfooting around had been for nothing, nothing had changed and Dunena was still using. There was no words big enough to explain the outrage and disappointment in what he had seen and so Benjamin did what he always did, a strong THUMP! as the door slammed behind him. No he was not going to stand in a room and listen to Dunena Reid and that guy.. whoever the hell he was try to spin this one! "You want a message for Dunena?.. tell him I'm out, I quit and to stay the hell away from me" Benjamin called out to Annabeth or whoever that woman was, he didn't wait to see that she'd gotten it written down right and ignored her asking if he had a number of forwarding owl address. There was a gym three blocks down and two blocks outside of the Wizarding district, it was a place he went to work out when he was avoiding going home to running into Meg and he didn't trust himself to be on the street. Right now he wanted to pound someones face in but he knew a few rounds with a basketball on a spare court would cool things down so he could go back to work later and explain to Daniel what had happened. Benjamin didn't know if he should mention the drugs or not, somehow he still felt he owed it to Dunena even as he wondered why he cared when Dunena clearly didn't. Benjamin felt like everyone else had always been in on the joke except him, it was not a nice feeling at all.

Dunena reid could not believe his eyes as he looked up and there it was one of two things that had been on his mind almost constantly and no it was not Emma it was cocaine the beautiful white powder Oh how he missed the happy blank feeling but then a disaster happen Bjay Came thro the door and saw the Drugs, Dunena and george. Bjay looked angry and then the door closed with a thump as he left Dunena heard his massage as he gave it to annabeth.
"Fuck" Dunena mumbled as he heard the front door to the shop slam closed
Do i go after him or wait for him to calmed down and then talk him out of it or go now as his eyes fell back on to the drugs on his desk.
"Will you get them out of here" Dunena shaped at george as if he was afraid to touch them ( the Drugs).
"And get on with making sure the staff don't call the papers about my producer quitting as i don't need them to know and i can fix this when he calmed down" Dunena said to George. it was at that moment that he saw the red envelop that he had been searching for that had started this whole mess.
"Got it. and look at these" Dunena pulled out the photos that had Frumpy and Miss french Bint in a hotel bed with the the blond on top of frump with out any clothes on.
This should keep him from lecturing him on the witches weekly photos of Emma, and get him straight on to a plan to stop more photos from showing up
"Annabeth clear my schedule for tonight I have to see Bjay about his Job" Dunena yelled to Annabeth.
it was then a question came to Dunena and before he could think to stop him self from asking it it was already out.
"Do you really think I could use and be a good candidate for minster?" Dunena brain was clearly thinking again about drugs which was bad as he really should be thinking about his campaign and what to do to get Bjay to not Quit But No He was thinking about a hit of Coke.
"Shit" Dunena cursed.

Timing was everything and even George couldn't have timed Benjamin's entrance any better. Yes, luck was definitely with George today. Sadly, he was not surprised at Dunena's reaction to seeing the drugs on his desk, wincing at Dunena's choice of words at how it all unfolded.
"No," George replied to Dunena's poor excuses for orders. "No," he repeated firmly. "I will not and you will shut up and sit there and listen for a change." Of course, Dunena did not but kept searching, calling out orders to one of his staff. When he did, George got up out of the chair, went to the door and called out in a voice that brooked no other response from the secretary but 'yes Mr. McQueen,', ordered the girl to ignore any further orders from Mr. Reid for the moment until George told her otherwise and to just continue on with getting the latest mailing out.
By the time he had finished that, Dunena was throwing around a set of photos as if they were the greatest thing on earth and the answer to all his problems. George picked them up, and stared at them with a raised eyebrow. "Really?" he asked in a tone that made it clear he expected no answers. "Really?" he repeated, in the same tone.
Tossing the photos on the floor in the corner, George glared at thepoor excuse for a candidate. "Shut up, Reid. You're not in charge of this campaign now. I am," George informed him. "Do you really think it will be a great idea to come out with another set of trash photos after your first go round? Do you really think that will boost public opinion of you?"
George wasn't planning on Dunena answering his questions because he continued on. "Do you really think it makes you look any better than Frump to toss around photos like Witches Weekly? IDIOT!" George's voice thundered out the last word causing the cardboard walls to shake and the staff in the outer office to cower at the sound. The small stature of the man belied the power he truly had and was now showing.
"If you want to win, then you're going to do it MY way now. Do.You.Understand?"
"No," George replied to Dunena's poor excuses for orders. "No," he repeated firmly. "I will not and you will shut up and sit there and listen for a change." Of course, Dunena did not but kept searching, calling out orders to one of his staff.

The small stature of the man belied the power he truly had and was now showing.
"If you want to win, then you're going to do it MY way now. Do.You.Understand?"

Dunena could not believe that george who worked for him could order his staff about and just as he was about to tell George so. George told him to shut up
" shut up" dunena repeated as George looked over the photos and made it clear he was not happy. George Throw the photos on to the floor and started ranting about being in charge of the campaign and that the photos were a bad idea.
" we'll you may be right about the photos but..." dunena was cut off by more George style yelling and call him an idiot.
" hold on I'll have you know I graduated top of my year" dunena was sure that george neither heard or cared and the he asked him the billion dollar question 'do you want to win?' Dunena found that in stead of the answer be a straight out yes he had to stop and think about it. did he really want to win? Did he even want to keep running in the race that was making his life a public hell.
Would he rather be making fun of frump on his show with BJay and doing drugs like the old days.
But what would Emma say if he dropped out or if he took drugs it was not like he had ever told her he was a recovering addict or any thing.
George was standing there looking rather angrily at him as if he wanted and answer an answer Dunena didn't have.
This joke campaign was this actserdent of Dunena ever running mouth was beginning to make Dunena's life miserable and he had to work and he ment really work but his father did seam very happy with Dunena for a change.
" what would happen if I said I don't know if I want to win this maybe I just want to go home." Dunena knew this would really make groege insane but he felt groege should know about his... Well dunena lack of passion for this now.
Dunena looked back at the bag of white powder and dreamed of taking it and not having to think anymore about anything no more being the... This.

"Oh really?" George asked, raising an eyebrow at Dunena's bragging about being top of his year. "Does it still count if the majority reason you did so was because your father consistently made large donations to the school corresponding to every time you had a problem or got in trouble? I don't think so. You don't really want me to stand here and list every single incident your daddy's money or family influence called in favors to save your neck, do you? Because it's a very long list, Mr. Reid." No, the general wizarding public had no idea how much trouble Dunena Reid had been getting himself into and getting bought out of over the years. But George did not take on this campaign and make his offer without knowing everything about the wizard in front of him. George had his own influence and pull in the wizarding world.
George stared coldly at the man in front of him after asking his question and as he waited for an answer. Hearing it in the form of a question, George simply answered. "I go out there, fire everyone, destroy all the campaign records and paraphenalia with a wave of my wand and apparate out of here to promptly find a candidate who really gives a damn about being a wizard and running for office. You, I will leave to your pathetic excuse for a life." After a pause he added, "And when I'm done with you, I guarantee you no amount of your daddy's money or influence will every find you a position in any Ministry of Magic in the wizarding world again."

Dunena was shocked to say the least as George told him he could list all of him high school mistakes and also knew that his father Dane had payed the school to look the other way although at the time dunena had no idea why he had not been expelled from school his father had not told him of the payments till he was 20 years old as his father put it
' I payed for your teenage problems but now you are a man' tho his father did continue to pay for Dunena mistakes and his habits.
" I know " Dunena whispered Dunena knew that this was his way to make up for all the years of trouble he had coursed his father.
It was then George begain reminding him of his fathers rather darker friends from his childhood he was treating him with well everything he had ever done and if it was just Dunena life he would say sure go a head but his father lived to be known and need his son to stand up and be a good son for once.
" no please, don't do that I will continue to run and if I must I will do as you say" Dunena was truly unsure as to what to do his father would truly disown him if he bought down the great Reid family over his own stupid crap. So he gave in he would run for Minster of magic and win if that was the people will but he knew if that happen it would be George who would run the government as Dunena could not let George tell the world what information he had on the one Dunena Reid.
" tell me what you want me to do and I will do it, just don't... Do that" Dunena hoped that George would not as more that Dunena was willing to give. Dunena shoulders slumped as he waited on George.

George McQueen's information gathering paid off. He only had to watch Dunena's face and posture as he told him exactly what he knew and exactly what he would do to know he had won. Considering George McQueen rarely, if ever, lost, this was no surprise. Every opponent person had their pressure point and this was Reid's.
With Dunena's capitulation, George made the packet of powder disappear as well as the red envelope with photos, though those he made disappear to his own private office in London. There would be a time to use those, just not now.
"Very good, Mr. Reid," George told him, crossing one leg over the other in his chair. "First, you will forget about exposes and photos for now. You actually have done some good things. Things which mean something to the voters. Continue talking and meeting with the Muggleborn. You will be appearing on several wizarding shows for interviews and consider what questions you would like to answer and we'll submit them. Any questions or things you want to cover that haven't been yet?"

Dunena simply sat and listened to George TELL him what to do. Dunena could not understand how he had miss this man devious nature for the past months
how had he let him self become so trapped now he was a puppet and no longer a free as he once was no more parting no more drugs and soon no more show if BJay stayed away. Dunena felt. His life slipping away in the past few minutes dunena almost wanted to die.
" I will continue to speck with the Muggle borns. Would it not be better if you arrange the questions" dunena felt that if he wanted to control him then George should just do that. Also dunena had no idea what George wanted from him and dunena did not want to make trouble he need his past and secrets to stay in the dark.
" can I still see Emma I have been invited to a wedding in October" dunena felt uneasy about the questions on Emma but dunena must know if he could see his beautiful Emma again or if George was going to take his life away.
Also he had put a sizable deposit on the house elf gift for the happy couple.
" I will do all I can to make this work George if I have you wizard oath that weather I win or lose that you will not reveal my past" dunena felt that making a deal to keep his family safe before it got out of hand.
