In West Wing season 3 when the staff of the West Wing comes under attack from home grown terrorist or psychotic stalkers. The West Wing calls out the big guns of the Central Intelligence Agency finest officer Simon Donovan. This officers hard work and dedication initially went unnoticed after the Presidents speech at Roslin.
After the Presidents speech to the students of Roslin. The President and his staff came under a hail of gun fire from two skin heads across the street. The President and one of his staff were shot during the shooting. Before the terrorist could hurt anyone else within 19 seconds of the shooting Simon Donovan had shot one of the terrorist dead. From Across the street and three stories up. Simon and the other secret service on scene ended the terror.
Simon couldn’t have guessed that his next assignment would be even more intense. After CJ Craig received numerous threatening emails that were attached to virus’s that tracked her keyboard strokes. The President had Simon put on CJ’s personal protection detail.
CJ didn’t want to take her secret service protection seriously and Simon had to find creative ways of keeping CJ by his side. From Dismantling her car forcing her to drive home in his armored vehicle and taking CJ and her niece dress shopping. Simon even taught CJ how to fire a 357 magnum. A weapon that an officer less capable of dealing with the stress CJ put him under would have turned the weapon on her.
Simon spent his last day protecting CJ at a fund raiser for the President. During the Play Simon was informed that the man hunting CJ was captured allowing Simon the chance to relax and tell CJ how he felt about her. They planned to meet for a date after the play. Simon was killed during a grocery store robbery that he attempted to stop while he was purchasing flowers for CJ. Simon’s roll in the West Wing was short but moving and he affected all the lives he touched with his positive nature, wit and optimism.
