Funds
by Maxwell Klausner
Bill gave me this number
said I should txt you for a good time
Hey there
You know who this is, right?
Bill told you?
Hello, Mr. Senator
Ha ha all right
good to meet you
I can’t wait to meet in person
How about the Lincoln Cocktail Lounge
around 10?
What do you want me to wear ;)
Something hot...
the next day
I had a great time with you last night
You remind me why I love Washington so much ;)
Thanks big guy.
Can’t wait to do it again
If you’re serious about doing a weekend in the Berkshires...
it’s going to be $8k
WOW
That’s pretty steep
My services are worth it.
For an extra 2 thou I’ll throw in some extra “fun”
Don’t you have the money?
I’ll see what I can do
Because Bill used to always dip his hand into his “campaign fund”
That’s a big risk ;)
I think I’m worth it
I should have known Bill had been doing that. Never underestimate your opponents, that’s what I always say
that’s a good motto
I’ll see what I can do. I’m dying to see you again.
three days later
I met with some campaign advisors today, and I think I’ve figured out how to “redirect” some money
So to speak
Perfect
I can’t wait to get away with you, Mr. Senator
Me neither, Princess
Lets meet again tonight at the Lincoln, 10pm. We can discuss our trip plans
See you 2nite

Hey, you haven’t been approached by any journalists this week, have you?
Me? Lol, no. I’m not the politician
Yeah, I know. I just get paranoid. What we’re doing is risky business
A Washington Post reporter was asking me some weird questions today, so I was concerned maybe they knew about you and I
My lips are sealed Mr. Senator ;)
He’s a jackass anyway. His name is John Wetherby and I know he hates me.
one week later
I had such a great time with you this weekend, amor
Me 2 :)
Just remember that you still owe me $2k for the extra fun I brought along
Right, I’ll take care of that ASAP
Good luck at your committee meeting this week
You remembered!
I remember everything
one month later
Hey, I haven’t heard from you in a while
Where have you been?
Very busy.
I don’t know if we should continue our relationship. It’s too much. My wife is coming to Washington for the summer.
Too much?
I always had a good time :(
Okay then, but you still owe me $3000
What are you talking about?
Don’t you remember?
I remember owing you $2000
Oh, you don’t know about interest?
My hands are tied right now, I can’t get you that much money
No? Oh well
I guess I’ll just have to talk to that reporter. Mr. Wetherby was his name, right?
Excuse me??
Is that a threat?
No, no threat
But he did offer me a fair amount of money to talk about our relationship. I have to get my money one way or the other.
This isn’t funny
I’m laughing
I will try my best to get it to you
two days later
Well, it’s been two days? How come I haven’t heard from you?
The campaign committee is doing a full audit of my finances, I’m in big trouble
Don’t you have some pocket cash?
No. My wife sees everything. And I don’t appreciate you trying to manipulate me like this. I could have you put away if I wanted.
Oh I’m so scared
Like you would really tell the police you’ve been dating a call girl?
Don’t try me
Look Mr. Senator I just want my money, and you owe it to me. You agreed.
Don’t make me cross the line, because Weatherby isn’t the only journalist knocking at my door.
two days later
Have you seen today’s newspapers?
What are you playing at, huh? I warned you.
And that article only says “an anonymous source confirms Senator Cleary has had promiscuous relationships.” that’s all it says.
No confirmation, no names. You really think that scares me?
It should
I’m not done with you
You’re delusional. I can silence you before you speak again.
Ooh I’m really scared.
You want your money, I’ll give you your money. But I’m not playing games.
I also want a new car
Ha. Not happening.
Oh. Too bad.
three days later
What the HELL are you up to?
John Wetherby asked me about you BY NAME during a press conference. Do you know how damaging that is to my career?
You should have known better than to give him your full name.
I should have known better? Look who’s talking
If you dare tell him anything else, you’ll be sorry.
Gosh I really wish I had a new Mercedes...
five days later
I am texting you as a courtesy. This is the last communication we can have. You have taken things out of hand.
You have your car, you have your money, I want this to end. The audit is almost complete
and I cannot allow you to continue telling tall tales to the press when they realize how much $$ is gone
I’ve already said my piece :)
five days later
Hey, I saw you on TV today
You looked so cute in your suit and tie
I told you not to text me again
I just wanted to say I’m sorry about the corruption charges :( You were always so sweet to me.
Don’t give me that crap. I swear to god I’m giving your name to the authorities, and you’ll end up in a womens prison somewhere
If you give my name you’ll incriminate yourself...
two days later
I hope you’re happy now. I’ve lost my office, my wife...I’ve lost everything. You’ve destroyed my life
You are a pitiful criminal whore, and if I ever see you again you will be sorry
I’m not to blame, Mr. Senator
Those were all your decisions, not mine
You stole from your campaign, you lied to the American people, you cheated on your wife. Who is REALLY the criminal, huh?
You once gave me a good piece of advice...
Never underestimate your opponent. Maybe next time you’ll think about that. God bless :)
