Day Four
In a shady back room in the capitol, a deal with the devil was underway. The
Speaker of the Senate was in a room with an unknown individual, making a pact for control over the
Senate.
"Now let's be clear." The guy said. It was impossible to discern any of his features, and it was evident that he didn't want to be known. "All you want me to do is step out of the way, and you will give me the
Power to do anything that I want to do, independent of anyone, including the
President?"
"That's right." The
Speaker said. "You'll have the power to do anything you want in capitol hill. All you have to do is step out of the way of my group of
Senators and vote with them. You won't be tailed or tracked, and you'll have more influence on the
Senate floor. You'll be able to do anything you want. Just stay out of our way."
"Well then." He thought for a minute. It was against his principles, but it would allow him more freedoms and privileges within the government. "I accept your offer." He had reservations against the deal. It was certainly illegal and fraud. It could end his political career, as a best case scenario, if it was found out that this meeting took place. He would certainly face jail time if people found out that this meeting took place, but the offer was to good to refuse. Besides, he might as well reap the benefits of this deal now, before his refusal came back to haunt him in the future. The
Speaker had found other ways to force cooperation from political rivals and dissidents. Most of them were illegal, but all of them unethical.
"Good." The
Speaker knew that it wasn't smart to use their
Power for personal favors, but this would make eliminating corruption from outside the government much easier. They thought that they had made the right choice, even if it left them in a significantly weakened position. There was nobody who could muster the backing to take the
Speakership from them, and the power the position held. With almost no resistance left, the
Speaker could do anything, with the approval of the
President of course. However, they still felt skeptical about the proposal to let their
Power decrease, even if it meant total control of the
Senate and most of the Greek government.
The deal had been made, and it was a pact formed in hell. Made by a sinner and the devil himself.
