The date is November 29th 2022 and all the people that matter are gathered in one place, an event where the Elite of the Elites in Politics, Finance, Activisim, Lobbying, Construction and 'Waste Removal' are all gathered in one location, sipping top-shelf negroni and the rearest of cavier. Most people dubbed this a 'peace event' under the presumtion that the group powerful frenemies gathered here to come to some peaceful resolution on how to co-exist for the coming year, that might be the case or maybe just maybe the most powerful poeple in nation just gather in one place to plan on how to remain as the most powerful people in the world no matter the cost.
Senator Parker, James Parker was a well respected man even internationally, he got the nickname 'The Architect' early in his career for being the author of so many contreversial progressive human Rights and conservetive security laws. This year he brought his son Gabriel to the celebration, Gabriel is a 26 year old Ivestigative Journalist his main focus being Human Rights Violations, he still waiting for that career making, enchrined in stone, kind of a story but then again for someone in his field maybe it was a good thing that thing are quiet for the time being.
Daniel King ,28, was also at the celebration but to him it was a rememberance ceremony for his late father Victor 'The Titan' King, the Patriarch of the King clan and a man loved by most, feared by his enemies and envied by the rest, taking a sip of that negroni takes him back to the memories he and his parents shared in this very hall, his poor mother he thought to himself, how might she be coping today of all days. 'The Lady' Marieanne King is the Matriarch of the King clan, a woman so everloving and beatiful that everyone who had met her agreed when that 2013 piece in TIME magazine the 'Marieanne King, Lady of the World', how would such a loving and generous lady deal with what seemed to be a devastating loss, Daniel was all in his thoughts something bumped into him making him spill half his drink...
Gabriel was having a hard time fitting in with his father's crowd, his siblings however would not this was their thing, their vibe, he thought. The alchohol was free so he went to the open bar try to get the bartender to making him a drink that wasnt on the menu but already at the bar, was Andrew Cornelius the CEO of Cornelius and Co, a company that is deep into corruption, health violations, extortion and blackmail and thats what you find when you try to scratch the surface, with these guys there's always alot more. why not have a little fun Gabriel thought, so he approached the bar and placed himself right next to Andrew."what can I get you?" enquired the bartender. "let me see, maybe a coke and rum or negroni sbagliato or like the gentleman next to me, a vodka martini with a side of human rights violations" Gabriel responded, the bartender reonded with "so only the vodka martini, sure", earning a sneer from Andrew in return.To say he glared at the sneering man would be an understatement but that was enough to get him fired up."you do know there a special place in hell for people like you, right?" he asked Andrew with a hint of cold sarcasm."This is not the place for your holier than thou act, paker, everyone here is here to unwind and settle their differences have you not heard?" Andrew replied, keeping his wits about himself.Gabriel hoever was not going to unwind and make peace with this 'Thing' he thought to himself but he will have the last word,"you were going to find out firdt thing December first but I cant help myself" he said, earning a confused look from Andrew, he then continued "we know about the genesis project, the story will published on the first and we will see what congress has to say about the chunks of money they keep throwing at you" then a smile grew on his face when he saw Andrew's defeated expression.Taking his win he grabs his glass and drinks the martini in one attempt as if to celebrate crashing Andrew, lifting himself from the barstool and heading into the crowd to find his father to take his leave but did he just hit a wall?...
"I'm sorry please excuse me" Gabriel spoke first looking up to see a handsome tall man with silver eyes that had Gabriel bejweled
"yea...NO" Daniel responded with a tone laced with venom, turning around to see a toned handsome man his irritation washed away in a wave of whatever this new feeling is, maybe intrest? with features that were far different from his, it was like you could scoop him up and snuggle him all day and those emerald green eyes, he could not help but say "uhm...its not a problem, this place is packed after all but you did just spill half my drink, maybe you could get me another one?" he repied, hopeful...
