Twelve years later passed and it was 1978. Soul music was heard all around John's house. The music gave Laura the energy to cook dinner for John and David. John and David were playing basketball in their backyard in superior hot weather. Their basketball hoop was old, and the strings were falling apart, "C'mon, time to eat!" David said. David and John ran to the kitchen and sat down on the floor. Laura served their food on a white plate. The boys ate as if they have not eaten in a month, "Boys, what do you do first before you eat?" Laura said. The boys stopped eating, and they held their hands together to pray. Jayson surprisingly came home from work, "Why you came from work too early?" Laura asked.
"There was not a lot of work today, but my boss gave me a couple of forks and a knife to use," he said.
"Yes, we don't have much of those, thank you," she said. Then, the whole family ate on the floor with peace and joy. Jayson worked at a field where he cropped vegetables and packaged them for grocery stores. He made enough money for food and rent. Jayson kept a small radio on the top of the kitchen cabinet for the family to hear the news and know what was going on in the city. While the family ate, Jayson walked to the kitchen and turned on the radio to the news. John and everyone in Dossroc tuned to the news on their radio and TV, including the TVs in the stores.
The president was ready to give a speech in Saint Lorena's. On the screen, the president's black cowboy boots were heard stomping on the wooded stage floor. She came walking to the podium with two handsome, tall, young men in black suits behind her named Mr. O and Mr. K. The president walked with a walking cane that had the world on the top. She stood in front of the podium, and the two men stood behind her. One by the right shoulder and one to her left shoulder. They stared seriously at the camera screens while each held their arms behind their backs. Mr. O and Mr. K showed deep reverence towards the president and respected her deeply. The president wore her favorite black cowboy boots and an oversized, black suit. Everywhere you went in Dossroc, the president and Mr. O and Mr. K were seen on TV. All the people stopped to listen to what she had to say. "As your president of Dossroc, I will bring peace to you. An integral step you can do to improve this country is to pray to the highest to end your lust for drugs and crime. The moment you stop craving for drugs and money, the drug lords will stop selling and making venom. You see, the drug lords are not the problem, we are the problem. If drug lords see that we like drugs and buy them, they are going to make and sell more narcotics which leads to crime and violence. But if they see that we don't buy their poison, they will stop. It starts with us to make the change. We are the root of this problem. We have the power to change this deceased era into life, and we have the power to make it worse.
Marblelano Dimarco is our number one public enemy in our country. She is an ignorant woman who has done many damages to our lives. If anyone captures her dead or alive, you will be awarded external blessings. She is one of the leaders of the Three Lord. If we capture her, we arrest the CEO of that horrific organization. That will be one evil realm down. And hopefully, they don't multiply.
Furthermore, because of all the violence and the increase in global warming, my officers will be removing guns from the public. This includes firearms that are sold in stores and guns obtained in your homes. Also, my officers will be spraying the skies at midnight three days a week to remove pollution. Expect to hear my helicopters roaming the sky and weapons being taken away. Brothers and sisters, thank you for your avid attention, and I will be back with more news on our progress. Thank you for watching and listening. May God be with you, and have a blessed day."
She walked off the stage followed by Mr. O and Mr. K behind her. A wanted picture of Marblelano was shown on the screens.
Back in Jasmine City, Marblelano sat on her couch as she watched herself on TV for being wanted. She laughed when she saw herself on TV. But her laugh disappeared, and she stared at the floor with watery eyes. She started to think about her life and everything she been through, "Will! Come see this," she said. Will came rolling down on his wheelchair. Will stared at the TV with a surprised look, "That is crazy! Why the president faking how she cares about the people and is going to get you. What is she talking about? She loves the evilness that roams around in this country, " Will said.
