Checkmate

The sun was just beginning to rise over Washington, D.C., casting a soft orange glow over the White House. Inside the Oval Office, President Theodore Clay sat at his desk, reviewing reports on the ongoing war in East Asia. The Chinese counteroffensive had been a success, and the Japanese retreat was now making headlines worldwide.

Clay barely had time to sip his coffee before his chief of staff, William Gardner, burst into the room. His face was tense, and his voice carried urgency.

"Mr. President, the Japanese ambassador is here. He's demanding an immediate audience," Gardner said.

Clay raised an eyebrow. "Let him in. I've been expecting this."
