The country had been ruled by the same despotic family for two generations. They called their country a republic, but that was in name only. President for life Edgar Ramone’s father was the first president for life of this country after his father Hector’s death. Edgar was the oldest of two sons and two daughters, and the heir apparent and his father’s favorite even from the time he was born. Family members were all given positions of power or areas of control. And though Edgar’s younger brother Phillip was a member of the family, he’d always played second fiddle to his brother, and had been given lesser roles. Before his brother was president, he was the head of the air force. Phillip was the black sheep of the family, the one willing to do what most would not speak about, take care of the problems that others didn’t have the stomach to deal with. So rather than be in charge of one of the prestigious services of the military, he was instead in charge of state security.
Phillip had plotted, planned, and bribed, while he moved slowly gaining the trust of everyone that mattered, till finally came the day. Oh yes he’d planted stuff on loyal men, arranged a few accidents, and each time making sure a man loyal to him assumed a key position. Even as he strode through the halls of the presidential palace several generals and other key personnel where undergoing severe lead poisoning, as they were shot. Even now his forces were moving to secure the palace, occasional gunfire could be heard as well as screams. Bravery, heroics and stupidity were a human condition that often went together, luckily today those foolish enough to believe in them would find their blood staining the floor of this fine building.
His brother had done everything but ostracize him, and his direct family all thought he was some sort of second class citizen, when in fact he had been the one to keep them in power all these years, doing their dirty work. Today they would realize that their pet monster had his own agenda. Even now members of the president’s immediate family were being gathered up, as he moved to the great hall to meet his brother. They’d found him trying to escape with his security detail through the servants quarters, that security detail lay dead and bleeding, ambushed by a unit that knew all the planned escape routes.
Phillip deposited himself in the throne like seat as the Presidential family was brought forth, his attention, currently on various commanders that reported on their capture or control of critical installations. No one would be coming to the rescue the Presidents Edgar today. The office he thought he'd hold for life, had effectively gone to another.
