Day 9

4.

The whereabouts of certain political, local and abroad, was questioned. Nobody was sure if they were even alive or not. The reporter had been investigating that as well, but had not come across any concrete evidence to support either view. The fact that he wasn’t able to find anything out was not sufficient. He wanted something tangible. Something people could not deny. Something solid and unquestionable.

Just before the night of his death, he had gotten a phone call. The individual on the other end had implied that he had such evidence. Irrefutable and complete knowledge. The reporter suspected that it was the former president, but really couldn’t be sure. He tried to ask, but the character did not oblige with any answers, or anything at all to reveal his identity. They were scheduled to meet two evenings later, but that never happened for obvious reasons.
