A DARKER SHADE THAN DARK
“Yeah, we could threaten the Russian about another sanction coming from us,” Hyo murmured to himself as the Vice President making her points clear from across the table. But to be true, the first part of the meeting doesn’t really concern him. After all, it is their expertise. And it is better to leave the matter to the master, despite the fact that he is also one of the best in his work.

Looking to the vacant seat next to him, where Raymond Rose usually seated comfortably with a lukewarm cup of coffee in hand, a sense of nostalgia come across Hyo’s mind. But there wasn’t that much to remember about. Yes, they were colleagues. Yes, they are co-workers that prefer to exchange some unlaughable jokes during pass time. And sometimes, they do give others favors in supporting each other bills when addressing the House. But that is that. Ain’t no decades of friendships nor comrades in the political battlefield. Just an acquaintance to each other.

But still, a question is needed to put forth, why did Raymond do that? It has only been a few months in and already a person is out? Hyo knew he wouldn’t buy that. For surely, nobody would be sacrificing their clean status because of something like this. Unless it is because of someone bribe him which required an investigation from the FIU (Financial Intelligence Unit). But the current situation requires more undivided attention from Hyo. After all, this is not only about Ray but the whole department itself. And as a matter of fact, it is reasonably difficult to interfere the nation’s economy without dabbing into the Department of Commerce’s specialties, which would make him look like a power hungry politician if do so.

“Yes. Don’t be too worried about the Russian. The fact is that they are more dependent on us than we to them on import and export speak for itself. So, I suppose another sanction threat would be enough to stop the Russian from at bringing this to the table. For the Chinese, I will try to think of a solution about this…”

Hyo stopped, seemingly trying to construct his next line while sipping the cold coffee.

“As I was saying, I will try doing my best with the Chinese. But it is not within my power to promote domestic commerce. And there are only two solutions that I see, we could consider another candidate. Or we could separate it up in half, half goes to the Department of Labor and the rest for the Treasury.”

For Hyo, it was a bold move. Of course, he knew the proposal would likely to never get past the Lower House, he wasn't betting on it. Actually, if that bill gets to the President’s table, there is a more severe problem to fix than just deleting the Secretary of Commerce out of the presidential succession line. No, his reason was comparatively simple. It was just a warning shot, a reminder for any people in this room to not fiddling with their personal interests during these times. Because for Hyo, what if the President heard the suggestion from the Vice President and actually choose the person she handpicked. There would be groups in this room. And although that chance is slim, he would prefer not taking that road or any roads with the same mindset.

“Well, while we are still on the discussion of the economy, I had recently sent a bill to amend the Dodd-Frank Act. As you all know, after the President’s message, 5 banks declared its failure and a few minor strikes happened. The 5 banks were all community banks with each asset are less than 50 million dollars. Fortunately, we found another a bank that would gladly take all deposits of three. The others two? Not so successful. Of course, what ensured has been paid off. But about 9000 to 11000 people were affected quite heavily. So it would really help me if you guys can put a nice word when the amended version gets propose into the Lower and Upper House. ”

”Ok, remember. Your toothbrush is in the right small pocket, so brush your teeth regularly. Remember to eat veggies as well. Don’t stay up too late. Always smile to other when you see them. Follow the smartest kids in class. Try to raise question even though you know the answer to start a conversation. Join in with your class activities. Don’t fight with others. It is best to accept your defeat than pick a fight. Always wear warm clothes...”

“Ok, darling. I think he got it.”

The robot voice shifted to a lower tone, as the speaker changed from a woman in her mid-thirty to a man in suit. He was old, bags form under his eyes and hair begins to change to a light grey. The tips of fingers are indurated, as hinted by its abnormal puffiness and stiffness. To be truth, the man doesn’t share much characteristics with his son except for his earlobes and nose. And maybe, it is for the best. He is too busy to care any way.

”All I want to say is that have. Love…”

The sentence was cut short as an explosion happen. Tree shaken. Men and women scurried to find places to hide. Children screaming. And the planet still spins perfectly on its axis.

Yes, Masaru did notice the fight in the school yard. Of course he knows damned well how dangerous the situation is. Well, for others that are still on the school yard. They may be harm. They may be injured, if not death. But why should he be compassionate? He was never born here. The people he knew are thousands of light year away. And the people here, they don’t share the same traditions and value that he has. The buildings were too techy, too much metal and not very green in and outside. The coffee tasted disgusting and having more water than coffee inside it. That reason alone would suffice these people deaths. Beside, why can’t there be silence in here? Yes, the students with magical and destructible abilities are fighting against each other, unleashing their unscientific and irrelogical abilities in harming the environments more than the enemy. But shouldn’t that be somewhat familiar to these so called “natives”? After all, mankind is an emotional being and any acts of restraining one self would only harm the others as the process of containment prolong.

And Masaru is not any difference. He also has his needs. But being hero is not one of them.

Huh, I guess they are all gone. As Masaru continued to contemplate his reasons not to join any shit hole, the coffee was cut short. Hey, it’s pretty good Masaru thinks as he appreciated this chaotic event. After all, the fight just cut him at least a few minutes staying in the line and having to suffer these insufferable sights and pending judgments from these aliens people.

Buying another cup of whatever this planet defined as coffee, Masaru travels inside the coffee shop, trying to find a place to hide himself from the curious gaze from these strangers. Outside, the police were capturing the school students, Masaru guessed before looking back at his holographic scene. Life is not gay, but it’s suck nonetheless Masaru thinks as he realized that he had not yet buy the local sims to install in his TP(terrestrial phone) and holographic programs. Thus making the screen of both to go blue as annoying as fuck female voice rang in his ears.

”Your equipments is not supports here. Please locate our nearest store to buy our newest sim, able to call and having infinite data with no data speed cap, for only 15,99$ a month... “

”Fuck”

Masaru said before packing his stuff and go into school. Next to him, a woman was surprised by his unreasonable outburst toward her and had begin eyeing suspiciously toward him. But he could give more fuck about that. If his mother’s dagger glare couldn’t bring a sweet out for him for 5 years, what would an outsider glare brought to him in 5 seconds? But still, judging others based on your own is a bad thing. But he is caring too much. 5 years in the dark had taught him well. 5 years in his own delusion are but the dream of the past. And… fucking nothing. Maybe he should have read it. But it too sucks. Maybe he should go there. But where? Maybe he should have a conversation with the woman in front of him. But why? Maybe he should go to school. Maybe he should. Maybe he should not. And beside, he is too lazy.

But yeah, maybe he should go to school. Just maybe.

“Sorry for being late,” Hyo said as he tries to find a seat with his name on it. And it seems like whoever had seated him never consider his opinions toward military spending. himself a mental to ask for who is the seating, the Japanese man whispered to the Secretary of Defense next to him in a tone to avoid disrupting the conversation between the Chief of Staff and the Vice President.

And after sometimes of note taking and pen scratching his forehead, the Secretary of Treasury couldn’t help but to release a long sigh as he shifted his gaze toward the white ceilings.

“If I can. I would really wish for our people to never know this.”

The reason behind it was straightforward. The nation as a whole is not yet able to withstand such an important news, not right after the ex-president was just died because of stress. And the election, although it didn't spark too many controversies, it is still raised some questions within the people’s mind for the president’s capabilities to turn this boat. China, inevitably, had become another superpower. The EU, despite the absence of the UK, had somewhat decimated the economy, is still going quite strong and having a trend to become one unified front. And the President’s mission, which is no less hard than FDR’s task to revitalize the US’ crippling economy during his time, is to play his card right. Win, the US would likely to still be dominant in this economic race. Lose, and the largest market would surely locate in Asia, with the Chinese at their captain.

But then again, maybe he is just complicated things too much. Maybe, the world would still go around, and the stock markets would only dip a little before bouncing back. But then again, Hyo was never the one to take the chance.

“But I assume we could spare a few billions for military equipment. I would need the president’s signature to approve the new fund for the army of course. Besides that, I would really appreciate if we could ask for the Congress to increase the debt ceilings. After all, we are in great need of preparation in advancing technologies, rebuilding and upgrading infrastructures, as well as supplying with high-tech military equipments. I also have some plans on the way, but that required further research and more time are needed. ”
