15 Plan

The former vice presidential candidate sat on his office. The usual morning routine was to go through documents that he had to sign off for that day while listening to the latest news. He always had to be up-to-date, especially now.

"Palace has stated earlier today that they were able to discover the identity of the perpetrator connected to President Duterte's attempted assassination - an assassination that has placed the life of Vice President Robredo in jeopardy."

Bongbong Marcos's attention was brought to the television. He increased the volume to listen to the news reporter. The report alarmed him, but he compelled himself to calm down. He still needed to know more.

"Palace further says that they will reveal the identity of the mastermind in due time as they are still collecting further evidence. The president himself will speak live later today to-"

Marcos's phone began to ring incessantly that he was forced to turn off the television and pick it up. It was a call from that woman and he did not like what she was telling him.

"You did what?" He exclaimed over the phone.

"Wala na akong ibang magawa. Nahuli niya ko! Kilala mo naman siya. Malalaman at malalaman niya rin yung totoo," Honeylet, the woman on the other line insisted.

He started to pace around his office. Just when he thought he was going to get away with everything. Just when he thought he had created the perfect set up. Just when he thought he had the situation under control. This happens.

"Hinahanap ka na niya. Sorry Bongbong. Ayoko nang magsinungaling pa kay Digong."

"Anong ayaw mo na?" He said through gritted teeth. "Once you agreed, wala na yung bawian! You should've thought twice before you agreed. I won't let you get off. I'll bring you down with me," he threatened her. He refused to fall alone.

There was a pause on the other line. It took some time before she answered.

"Hindi Bongbong. Tapos na akong makinig sayo! You won't bring me down. I'm the one who's going to bring you down," she fires back at him.

She ended the call without hearing his reply.

As he listened to the dead phone line, a feeling of rage boiled within his gut. He felt furious that he had so easily been betrayed. Now he had no idea what she was about to do which left him unable to plan for his next move.

If only the plan had been followed! Then he wouldn't be in this mess in the first place.

He should've known when he asked for help from his inept political rival that this plan was going to fail.

He needed to plant a man in Digong's security and the best choice would be someone that his rival knew so the suspicion would not fall on himself. He remembered the day he had to call Aquino for help.

"Noy, I need your help," he remembered talking to Aquino.

"And why would I do that?" The other man scoffed. He had finally agreed to talk with Marcos after being pursued for a few months.

"You want him gone don't you? I'm planning to do just that," he offered.

There was a pause on the other end. It was an unexpected offer.

"Ano? Why would you even think of doing that?" He was suspicious of the other man's true motives. They have been bitter rivals ever since, he was always cautious when it comes to Bongbong Marcos.
