CHAPTER NUMBER 4
I successfully infiltrated the main hall as planned while the other 3 remained outside, waiting to enter on my signal.
The main hall was quite large with about every important person, who make up the government present in it, everyone was sitting in the assembly hall along with the president and prime minister up front, the speaker, who conducts these meetings was sitting opposite to them, in front of everyone, on a stage type area.
They were laughing, LAUGHING! enjoying themselves as if it was a party, eating from the wealth they took from us through insufferable taxes, they didn't have a single worry on their faces, after leaving the nation in a state where only the rich get richer, poor people barely manage to survive, the law only for those in power, the worth of our country in the eyes of the world as if we are some beggars living off them, and here they were enjoying themselves.
The sight which I saw made my anger boil like hot lava. I was close to taking my guns out from my socks and start to gun them down one by one like how the keyboard is close to me like now. but I controlled the anger and told myself to stick to the plan, I am not the only one who will face consequences from this.
I started walking slowly to see if there was any seat available to sit in to hide my presence, then my eyes saw one, it was in one of the upfront rows, where the President and Prime minister were sitting the available seat was two away from them, even though I wanted to be discreet as ever, I couldn't miss this chance, I walked up to the front and sat if the seat was made for me.
After a few moments the speaker came, everyone stood up and greeted him, the first thing that the speaker did is that he ordered the press to go live once he says not one moment before, these meeting are always showed on the news channel because there is a bill which is passed through these meeting with voting from the party members but it'snothing but a scam it's always pre-decided which will go through and which won't and the bills are nothing but more free wealth for the govt.
Then after showing his worth to the President, the speaker gave his signal and we went live.
After going through standard protocol, the party members started giving their reason on why the bill should be passed or not.
I was waiting for that right tick of the clock to proceed.
During this time, the people who left before us failed to avoid suspicion. Someone notified the police, who quickly realized the seriousness of the situation. As a result, the army was alerted sooner than we expected, and they arrived within moments.
The people inside the hall were immediately notified that a secret rebellion operation is currently ongoing, warning about their safety. When this announcement was made, I knew that it was now or never.
Amidst the sudden panic inside the hall, I stood up from my seat and walked up to the president while hiding my presence. These people only cared about two things, their lives and wealth.
I came up to the president and acted if I was a secret agent send to protect him,
"Mr. President, I have been sent for your safety, please come with me I will keep you safe."
And the president being the dumb Fu** he is, followed me like a duckling following his mother.
I took him where the speaker was and made both of them sit down in the seats which were up there, all of this was still being shown live as it was getting immense ratings.
I took out the two guns from my socks and fired one in the air to make the panic come to a stop, I had already given the two signals, one to spade, and one to the others who were given a different task.
This was where it all began to sink like the titanic.
***
Spade and the other had already sealed the door from inside making it almost impossible to break in or out in fact.
After taking the first shot I put both speakers and Mr. President at gunpoint and gave the speech.
With all of my emotions and millions of others from the nation, the difficulties they all have been going through, barely scraping by, their life not getting easier one bit, I Spoke.
Alright everyone, the only thing you need to do right now is sit on your seats and remain silent, if anyone speaks a single words they will be shot down on the spot, I waved my gun over them, and if you guys think I won't do it because you guys are hostages, you are not, you are just stock which I can kill at any moment, the only person I need is this men in front, I pointed my gun at Mr. President, So you guys stay shut I will talk.
I then looked at the camera knowing that considering the situation the army chief must be watching it.
"Hey chief this is not something you can talk us out of, this is a revolution, this is the moment which will be written down in the history book of our nation, the moment when the cruel government was overthrown by a group of rebellions fighting for the real justice of the nation, the only solution to this is to make the president resign right here and we will appoint a temporary leader until the true civilians decide on one."
The party members who were trapped inside were trying restlessly to contact someone outside to get any help they could but their communication had already been cut off by us, every telecommunication tower within the radius of the National Assembly had been disabled by our men.
I looked at them being so pathetic, doing anything they can to save themselves, "It's no use, you cannot contact anyone, the only person who can help you guys is the army chief who is currently outside", I said while having pity on them, "And don't worry, we are not you people, our goal is to only overthrow this tyrant of a government, taking needless life is not on our list."
Suddenly a loud beep sound erupted into the sky, reverting everyone's attention to it, after the beep the Chief started speaking,
"Attention honorable party members and the rebellions who are inside, our priority is the safety of everyone present inside, only after that is confirmed we can continue our talk."
I was a little ticked off hearing this, I looked at the camera and replied to him,
"And what position are you in to talk about continuing our talk, there is nothing to talk about, we have had enough of this tyranny being implemented on to us, the solution is either I kill this person who is right in front of me and establish a new, True Leadership forcefully or this person resigns and a new order is established."
The area was filled with silence but the seriousness of the situation, louder than ever.
Spade looked at me, showing confusion with his eyes. I sat on the speaker chair with placing my legs on the table, while keeping Mr. President at gunpoint. I was ashamed that this scaredy cat is the leader of our nation.
After a while distinct noise started coming closer, the noise sounding like.As if the army of Alexander the Great was walking toward us, the mixed voices of thousands of people coming closer to us, chanting only one thing,
KILL HIM! KILL HIM! KILL HIM!
All the civilians from the nearby regions had gathered after seeing it on television, they knew if they didn't stand up now, they would forever be slaves to them.
When me and Spade heard what they were saying we knew that it was almost over, there were only a few hours left when the Echo of true freedom would be heard all over the Nation.
The army who were outside were surrounded by the people demanding that they go inside to kill that president themselves, with our people alongside them who were being held by the army.
After the army controlled the people outside the Assembly hall, some officials of the army including the chief alongside our people came inside to settle the matter, Spade opened the door without a shred of fear knowing that they cannot do anything now.
The Chief came up to me, the cameras were still rolling, I still had my gun pointed at the president.
I stood up from my chair, looked dead inside the eyes of the chief keeping my guns pointed toward Mr. president, saying, "Mr. Chief, you better think before you say anything, it's all on tape, being shown live to the nation and even internationally, the people are about to see something historic, so I advise be careful with your words", I said these words without a shrink of hesitation.
Spade was behind the chief, with his gun ready if anything happened.
Then the words on which everything resides on, The Chief spoke,
"Mr. President, with the decision made by the whole Nation, you are now herby removed from your position as the president, and so is your party that made up the Assembly, you are to hand in your resignation tomorrow."
The chants of celebration erupted into the sky across the whole nation, the country liberated once again from this tyranny.
Me trying to remain calm to look cool, composing myself,
"Then Mr. Chief you can take this person and the people of this party with you, do what you want with them and the decision you made, your eyes will see it being the best one you made", I handed my guns to the chief, removing the hostility I possessed, to showcase the peace we offer.
But there was something OFF, I looked around to see that the cameras were already turned off. As soon as I handed my guns to the chief he
smirked, before I could process and analyze the situation correctly, the Chief asked me a sudden question.
"Then who will be the temporary leader of this Nation?"
I thought that it would be me, thinking it was a responsibility I must bear, to take the nation out all this crisis. I was already determined to do it but before I could say anything, someone spoke before me.
Spade,
"Mr. Chief, that would be me!"
I was thunderstruck to hear this sentence and none other than Spade himself, we had already decided that one of us would only take the chair in name until a true Leader is decided upon and they all put my name on it.
"ah..., wha…, Spade?!"
Spade walked towards me and Chief, he stood beside the chief and looked me dead in the eyes.
"Thank you, for your service Ace, it took us a lot to reach this point but now that we have."
I was trying to process what exactly is going on right now.
Spade mid-sentence turned toward Chief and said.
"I accept the offer, Mr. Chief!"
As soon as these words were said by spade, half of our people shot down the other half of our people in an instant.
My eyes left wide open seeing my comrades' blood being spilled in front of me, I looked toward Spade with the vicious eyes of an enraged predator.
"WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS SPADEEE!!"
The Chief and Spade were laughing, seeing me enraged.
The chief says while mocking me, "you were right Ace, this would be written down in the history book of our nation, as the accomplished yet failed mission! Hahah."
Spade standing beside him, "you still don't understand Ace, the people in power always stay in power, the world is filled with injustice and if you think going through trials for a few years will be enough to make the flower of justice bloom, that's just immaturity."
This was the tick of the clock where my willpower shattered like glass and my hopes were buried like a coffin.
I looked at Spade with pity in my eyes and said.
"You know, Injustice is like your face, people see it every day and nobody does anything about it but there comes a time when they get tired of seeing it and just stop meeting you but on the other hand justice.., justice is indeed like a flower, unless it blooms, no one want to look at it but when it shows even the slightest signs of blooming, the care it gets is none like other. Today it was me who gave them hope, I don't know what will happen in the future but remember, thousands of people are witnesses, there are children who have seen this, youngsters who have understood it, and when the tyranny will reach a different point so will the patience of these people."
Spade pointed his gun at my head and,
BANG
THE FINAL BULLET WAS FIRED.

Tring Tring, alarm clock ringing,
"HAH, HUH, HAH, HUH, HAH, HUH.
I woke up with tears flowing down my eyes like a river from a mountain and the worst headache I could possibly imagine.
