      It was March, 1864, Wong Chi was nearby  

his home. He was practicing his practicing his 

karate skills. While he was practicing, he got an 

unexpected phone call. It was the President's 

supervisor. She said that she heard rumors going 

around that an actor name John Wilkes Booth is 

planning on doing something to the president and 

that she needed Wong Chi to come to Washington 

to protect the president from any harm.

     So, Wong Chi packed up his clothes and he was 

on his way. The only way he could get there was by 

a ship to California then a train to Washington DC. 

Wong Chi just went on a random ship that was going 

to California as a stole away. It took at least a 

month to get to California and Wong Chi didn't get 

caught at all. He was hiding in the shadows the 

entire trip. So it was a good thing for him. Who 

knows what they would have done to him if they 

found out he was a stole away!

     Then, when he got to California, he got on a 

train to Washington. It took a while to get to 

Washington since it was during the Civil War. The 

train was on the Transcontinental Railroad route. 

So the train made many stops at many places to 

deliver and pick up stuff. Wong Chi was 

surrounded by a lot of things most of the time. 

But he got through all of that so good job to him. 

     Once he got to Washington, the president's 

supervisor was already there waiting for him. Her 

name was Susan. She told him that they have to 

hurry and get to the White House. The President 

was very eager to speak to him. So he picked up 

his suitcase and they were on their way to the 

White House. She explained everything that was 

happening to Wong Chi during the car ride. 

    When they got to the house, President Lincoln 

introduced himself and told Wong Chi that he was 

very happy for him to be here. After they all 

talked, the president asked Wong Chi to do 

something for him. He told Wong Chi to go out and 

find out what John Wilkes Booth is planning to do. 

President Lincoln said that Susan heard that Booth 

was living in the Old Soldiers house. So that was 

where Wong Chi was heading to.

     It took a while for Wong Chi to find the house 

but when he finally found it, he went inside the 

house and hid in the shadows so that John Wilkes 

Booth wouldn't be able to find him. John Wilkes 

Booth was in the middle of talking about his plan 

with three other people. They were planning on 

kidnapping the president and taking him to the 

Confederate Army and held him hostage. That was 

all that Wong Chi needed to hear so he headed 

back to the White House.

      Now, it's April, 1865, it's been a year since 

Wong Chi found out what John Wilkes Booth was 

going to do. He told the President and Susan the 

plan. Susan told all of the bodyguards to keep a 

look out for those four men. But then, just a few 

days ago, Wong Chi went out to figure out what 

was John Wilkes Booth up to again and he found 

out that John Wilkes was going to kill President 

Lincoln instead! Wong Chi was so shocked! He 

quickly ran back to tell the President and Susan 

what he had heard.

     After he told them what he had found out, they 

were afraid. Susan told all the guards to be on 

lookout 24/7 when the President goes out to the 

theater tomorrow. Then she told Wong Chi that he 

had to be with the president at all times. That he 

can't loose sight of him. Wong Chi understood 

clearly. He will do anything to keep the president 

alive. So after they all discuss what to do for 

tomorrow, Wong Chi went to his room to get good 

rest for the big day tomorrow.

President Lincoln and 

wife, Mary Todd Lincoln

     The next day was actually going good for the 

President but not so good for Wong Chi. He was 

worried sick! He was so afraid of doing something 

wrong and that would get the President killed! But 

he put all of the thoughts to the side and thought 

about the good things that can happen. The person 

that was worried the most was the First Lady. The 

President was saying how happy he was and she 

thought that saying such things brought bad luck. 

So she was very worried about what might happen 

tonight.
