POLITICAL HOMICIDE: WHO IS BEHIND IT ALL?

Dr. Candace cleaned his cubital fossa with alcohol and gingerly inserted the needle. President Harry' s heart condition was getting worse with the passing of each day. Today,  she had prescribed to him a new experimental drug in phase 4 of clinical trials.

Candace has been the president's physician for three years now. The job was so demanding yet risky at the same time. In those three years,  she has had several random requests by anonymous persons telling her to kill the president. Not surprising, the money they name is so hefty that she had one or two occasions felt the urge to do so.

She began packing her stethoscope,  among other things into her medical toolkit.  Today was one of the few days that she did not accompany the president to his office.

" Good morning, Mr. President", Harry' s vice greeted.
"You see, I have these documents that you have to sign. It is pertains to the water project in Higgin town and road construction ongoing at circle- mart"
Little known fact about the vice is that he is overly corrupt. The president knowing this, double checked whatever document he sent to him. As usual, his vice had inflated the amount for the project by million folds.
"I want all the sectors involved in this project to give me an in-depth breakdown of the cost  of their work", he said, then left the office without pending his approval.

His vice, Mike was filled with so much rage that he wanted to skinned that 6feet one inch man that calls himself president alive. " Your end is close", he murmured to himself.
                                                                 ◇
Mike squeezed himself into fetal position when he heard the gunshots.

Harry received two bullets, one to the upper right quadrant of his abdomen and the other to his left atrium. He was losing gallons of blood. It was surely going to be one hell of a hectic day for Dr. Candace. She tried her possible best to save the president but to no avail. His already weakened heart would never survive another day.

Immediate investigations were made and it was concluded that it was a grave breech of security. Accordingly,  the head of security,  Richard Simpson was arrested.  How can two unidentified men enter the presidential gold house without recognition? Unbelievably, all the Closed-circuit television (CCTV) cameras went off during the shooting.

Mike was sworn into office as the new president. Believe you me, he was surely going to put the country into debt during his reign.

"I am not going to tell anyone our secret.  But on one condition, that you provide every single need of my family and for 500million dollars to be delivered to my account this very day. Lastly, make your lawyers get me out of this hellhole quickly", Richard informed Mike about his demands.
"Consider them all done"
                                                                ◇
After 10years in prison and with a possible death sentence around the corner,  Richard decided to finally tell the world the truth about who really was the mastermind behind the death of former president Harry. After all, his health was declining and this deceptive Mike had not been faithful to the bargain.

When Mike heard of this, he paid one of the prison guards to kill him.

But Richard had a backup plan. Before his passing,  he had made countless recordings of every single conversation he had had with Mike. The kind that would get him right on the road to jail. These he had given to a friend at the bureau of national investigation as well as a copy to his wife.

When Mike realized that the police were going to arrest him, he went to his room and shot a bullet right into his skull. He would rather die than to spend a day in a jail.

"For how long can a dreadful deed be hidden..."
THE END

Still smiling in the dream world....
