MIKHAIL
As crowds go, this one is impressive and from my position behind the
dark tinted windows, I can see everything without anyone realizing
I’m here.
Just the way I like it.
“Why are we here again?”
Damien sighs heavily beside me and I know he’s pissed. That’s not
unusual. I tell him nothing and expect him to understand how my mind
works. Even I don’t know how my fucking mind works, so I reply with
more patience than I would normally grant him.
“Carter Lamont is about to make an announcement.”
I peer through the glass and sharpen my anger when I consider the man
who has unknowingly shifted into my world.
His name spilled from the lips of a whore on a private island in the dead
of night and revealed he may know something that is worth more than
billions to me.
The identity of my father’s murderer.
“Fucking activists.” Damien snarls and I cast my disparaging gaze on
the assembled protesters.
They are deluded if they believe any number of placards and loud
chants against the man who’s about to star center stage in their nightmares
will make any difference at all. It’s the way of the world. Money wins every
fucking time and Carter Lamont has more than enough to build his energy
plant at the expense of the large forest that has remained untouched for
hundreds of years already. The home to rare birds and wildlife that don’t
have a clue their life is about to be torn apart in the pursuit of greed and
commerce.
I study the crowd, bored already because that is not why I’m here. To be
honest, I can’t answer Damien’s question because the answers I seek won’t
be divulged on the ever-crowded sidewalk outside.
A film crew is set up behind the roped off area and appear as bored as I
am as they yawn into the crowd as they adjust their wide angled lenses.
This will be business as usual for them and routine coverage for the sixo’clock news.
As crowds go, this one is small, and I study the activists who are merely
along for the ride. Many of them hop from one protest to the other and
some are paid by rival businessmen to disrupt so they can conquer. I even
recognize some of them from my investigations because dealing with
protesters at my own family’s business interests is something I do for fun.
A movement on the edge of the crowd distracts my attention away from
Lamont Industries where the great man will emerge into the glorious rays of
the sun, assured of his own success. He will bathe in his own pomposity as
he tosses another billion dollars on top of the vast pile he has already
accumulated through the tears of the damned.
