She worked for the vice president for over two years and spent her free time spying on him. He always seemed to have suspicious movements, but there was nothing been found. The only place he visited regularly was a house where he'd stay all night whenever he went there. She investigated further, and found that there was a woman that lives there. She asked around about her and their connection with the vice president. Apparently, she had he's child and they weren't married, but he loved her and couldn't marry her because of the position he had in power. He was afraid he'd be undermined and demoted so he did it secretly and once a while. As she sat in her desk at home so confused, she tried putting pieces together.
Mariana: [Holds her face in irritation] okay, you can do this Mariana think. So, he wears a black coat, no hat and no golden gun........ No, maybe he has, I just have to find where he keeps it. This man's life is basic there's no dirt...... Anyway, eventually they show, they always do.
The next day there was a board meeting where all executives sat to discuss the future acts to be played in order to control the Iraqi situation. Right before the meeting, the vice president held Mariana's hand in a threatening way pulling her back.......
VP: just a reminder, in case you thought 'maybe'. Don't forget the deal we made Miss Johnson
Mariana: I haven't.
VP: stay in your lane woman!
Sited in the chair facing the camera, "in case you haven't noticed, I hate being treated like a child. I also hated the fact that I had to wear heels and a suit all day every day for nineteen years. I prefer this outfit better you know, the leather and the long boats.......[sighs] ah, so breath taking. In that moment I nearly bribed him with he's little secret so he gives me a little more respect, the kind that a Volcano needs. I said to myself, I'm not going to stoop to he's level of thinking. [She raises her hand] you see this? [She holds out the golden gun] I have it, now all I need is a black coat and hat then I can pay a visit to the Mandrin and Maghandi. So how did I get this?"
Mariana: [he walks away while she says to herself] you stay in yours, ingrate.
The meeting started. There are twelve chairs around a rectangular table all filled up with people, the president of course is at the very small end while the vice is next to he's side and Mariana on the other. There are two guards and two flags behind him.
Man: we are wondering why all this time, the missionaries are complaining that funds are never enough to compensate them. For years this has been happening..
President: I assure you, the money collected all around as aid money is given to them. I only give what has been granted unto us.
Woman: then, the report on the Iraqi in our country; I apologize, I failed to find anything on them [all murmur] believe me I tried my best
VP: Defence Minister, we're honestly disappointed. Your best isn't good enough.
DM: whatever it is they're doing, is well hidden. Someone amongst us is surely helping them because there's no way they can be hard to find.
All: [murmur loudly]
VP: what are you trying to say woman.......
President: [bangs on the table] enough!! [All keep silent]. Something needs to be done about this. Miss Johnson, what do you think?
Mariana: me?
President: yes of course. You're at my side aren't you? Aren't you the third arm of my government?
Mariana: I am sir. [She looks at the vice who just nods] I think the Defence Minister has a point.
All: [murmur].
Mariana: may I elaborate? [They keep silent]. Ever since all this began, when I was a little girl I've lived in close proximity with such stories. My father, as most of you may know him Mr. Johnson fought wars alongside Mr. Volcano, whom I grew up with both as my fathers, had parts to play in all this. Moreover I've gotten to observe how things are being run around here, I'm afraid she's right, someone amongst us is working with them. Looking at the past years never did an Iraqi, Iranian or Afghan come into this country yet these past years they've been increasing in number. I know borders have always been watched by the army so now, are they no longer watching? Someone is controlling them, letting them in and covering their tracks.
