"So his ceremony is tomorrow. I'm supposed to be there to guard him."

"Why don't you just shoot him then and there?"

"Why? For me to lose my job? To lose my life and be sent to death row?"

"So after the ceremony, a few years later people will see the true him and will hate him. Then they'll all believe you."

"Did you just say years?!? Sorry Ginger, but I'm gonna do something about it now."

"Your plan?"

"I never have one. Just wing it."

"And what does winging it tell you right now?"

"That I need a plan."

"Oh god.... Listen whatever we do, we cannot do the case right away. The people always have faith in the new president, thinking he'll do something good for the country."

"He won't, trust me. In a few months I'm expecting such heavy taxes and every street having a strip club and crime everywhere."

"But only we know it, the people don't." There was a pause, a very long one.

"Wait that's it!!!!" She got excited "All we have to do is show them his true self!!!! We have to break their trust in him."

"And how exactly do we do that?"

"I have no idea." She put her head on the table, as though she was sick of this world "But I know I'll come up with something."

"Let's hope you do. Its killing two birds with one stone. You become free and we get rid of a corrupt president who is going to ruin our country."

"What's with the face?"

"Huh?"

"Why is your face like this? It makes me wanna punch you........ Lemme guess....... Lisa"

He banged his head on the table, vibrating the contents on it "I miss her so much."

"Oh god.... I don't know what to say. But look on the bright side....... She left you miserable and she's happy with someone else!!!!" He just looked at her and frowned "That's..... Not happy is it? Yeah I'm new at this."

"Don't do it again."

"Can we come back to topic?"

"Whatcha got?"

"This is going to hurt me so much." She sighed as she rested her face in her hands.

"I don't get it."

"You'll see. I gotta go Ginger. Got to put my plan to action."

"What's the plan?"

"I'm going to his house."

"What!! You kidding right?"

"Why not?"

"He gave you- nothing."

She knitted her eyebrows together "Ok never mind. I'm going to his house. Here's the plan, I'll be there for a week, do whatever I can to make him talk, and in the seventh day midnight, I escape and you come pick me up."

"How do we know it'll work?"

"We don't. But what choice do we have?"
...............

"No Lena I'm sorry but I have work tomorrow."

"Oh come on, I said I'll pay you. Just for a week till me and Ken get back home."

"Listen I love you Lena, I love Mason, James, Rylie, Alex, Hans and Julie too. But I have to guard someone tomorrow."

"Don't you have anyone else who can do this for me. I'm willing to pay quite a lot. Ken and I have a very special occasion to go to. I can't take the kids with us. Anyone?"

"How much will you pay? Cause I think I can get you someone, if you pay good."

"Yes thank you so much Thomas!!!"

"Don't get your hopes up, I think she'll do it. Bye. I'll let you know." He hung up and dialed another number

"Sup Ginger."

"Ya hi, Uhh...... Can you do me a favour?"

"No"

"I'll pay you."

"Who should I kill?"

"No!! My sister and her husband are going for a honeymoon."

"You want me to kill the guy?"

"No!! I want you to........ Babysit her six kids."

There was laughter from the other side "I'm sorry Ginger but did you just say babysit? And did you just say SIX kids?!? Boy they have clearly never heard of a protection."

"Not a topic I wanna talk about. Those kids are nice and polite, they won't give you a single problem. They're willing to pay whatever you ask them. Please!!!"

"Why don't you do it?"

"Cash, my week's booked. I have so much work to do for your case. I have to get you a lawyer and so many other shit."

"But.... What about the plan?"

"We'll do it once we're done. I'll pay you extra if you do this."

"I'm doing it for the money. Where and how long?"

"Just come to the bar tomorrow at 9. Just for tomorrow Cash." He lied cause he knew that she will not agree otherwise.

"Fine" she hissed. He sighed in relief. He never wanted to babysit those troublemakers.

Before Larson can kill her, these six will do the job.
