He screamed loudly as he broke down in tears. He heard a gunshot from nowhere, he knew shooter must be aiming him but he missed his target; my father took to his heel, he run as far as his leg could carry him, he run with all the energy his body could gather. After a lengthy and non-stop running, he reached where he parked his car as his reluctantly close the car door behind him, he zoomed off from the forest at a very high speed.

“He can’t act now because I had caused him a huge grieved and the innermost wound I could use in weakens him.” Don restated as he laughed out loud through the phone.
“What is that?” Senator Jeff asked curiously waiting for the answer.
“I had killed his only and beloved daughter, he makes a call during the mission and I am 100% sure that he is contacting the policemen he has planted in the forest. I am so sure that he must be mourning his late daughter.” Don enunciated.
“Wow! Bravo! I trust you g…. but wait Don, there hasn’t been any news broadcasting the death of the Governor’s daughter.” Senator Jeff announced confusingly and surprisingly.
“The reporter couldn’t know, the governor himself couldn’t dare broke the ugly news out, the masses will asked him for the corpse of his late daughter, how will he present the corpse, he couldn’t find the corpse.” Don summarized as he broke down to laugh wickedly.
