A parade of people begin marching down the street carrying posters and yelling “Lucious NOW, Lucious FOREVER!” In the middle of the crowd was Lucious himself, silent, walking confidently.

Marie picks up her IPhone X and calls the Chief Broadcasting Editor and the Airtime Manager at IDTV and asks them to clear up the 9:15 schedule.

”Yes, I need the public to hear something, actually I just need one person to hear it.

Marie checks her mic and the make up team do their final touches on her face.

The cameraman steadily counts down, “3, 2, 1” and then points his finger at Marie to deliver her announcement to the public.

The camera lights beam at Marie as she speaks, “Good evening Identity, we anxiously await the final few candidates to announce whether or not they will be running for Governor, as only 2 hours and 45 minutes remain before the deadline closes”.

As the only candidate from a major party is currently standing for election, I, Marie-Clare Bouchard of the Front National invite larger politicians such as Lucious Times and Brian Hamilton to make their feelings clear on their situation, as early prediction polls predict 96.2% of the vote will go to me in round one and 3.8% to the other 7 minor party candidates, thank you and goodnight”.

Lucious and the other parade of people with him stand there baffled. “Were the fireworks, posters and people yelling not clear enough?” Lucious says to his good friend John Loyal. John just shrugs. Lucious looking calm yet confident walks up to the reporters that had been filming Marie’s announcement and whispers to them. He then grabs John and climbs the stairs of the Union Bank in the Town Square...people and the reporters following. 

Lucious begins:

“I’ve been sitting in the office of Governor for nearly a solid term now and as I stated at the beginning, I do not plan on leaving this seat. I’ve protected our once and plan to do it forever. I’m not just this island’s Governor, but I’m also the people’s friend. I’m I member of the community just as I am a member of the state. As much as I feel other candidates may be able to keep this island content...

[No one can make times like Times!] - says everyone together.

Marie and the others are educated and beneficial to us all in many areas, but the seat of the Governor is not one of them. Now that it’s clear to everyone where I stand, I must get back to work.”

 

Lucious walks down as people surround him. Heading towards the capital with no words, but a solid confident look on his face.

Marie is clinking champagne glasses with the elite class in a humble party to celebrate her beginning of the Governor race when her PA, Pierre calls her aside.

Pierre whispers in her ear that Lucious has announced officially that he will be running. Marie responds with, “How are our numbers?”, to which Pierre responds with, “The nine minor candidates will only gain a complete total of 1% in round one of the election and you are predicted to get around 42% of the vote now and Lucious will make up around 57% of the vote”.

Marie plants her face in her hands and asks Pierre for further information on the Hamilton Parties plans.

"I feel bad to a degree for the barrage of attempts these candidates take to fulfill their wishes of being Governor. Imagine how useful their efforts could be if they placed them in an area of life and the community where they have greater chance at success. As one that cares for the community and all of its citizens including the other candidates, this is simply a headache to watch." - Lucious

 

"They'll find their place in the community, give it time Times." John

Marie is in the back of her Mercedes, with Jacque driving in the front when she receives a phone call from Pierre.

He tells her that Brian Hamilton secretly decided to run last night, and that he took 2% from Marie and 2% from Lucious. Marie is suspicious as to why Brian kept his announcement on the low down but she keeps her mind focused on the workers union that she is meeting with.

Lucious calls Hamilton and invites him over, they talk, laugh and Lucious even ends up playing some Texas Hold ‘Em with him. As they play Lucious lets Brian know that he’ll definitely find a place for him, due to the results being nearly a clear reelection for Times. Brian didn’t seem the slightest of irritated, and said “thank you!”

After Marie meets with some of Identity’s workers union leaders, she gets a call from Pierre who says that he will be looking further into the Hamilton parties secretive campaign.

Marie then drives to a banquet dinner being held for a long time serving Police man who was very high up in the ranks, since Marie is winning in terms of the police vote, this event is crucial for her.

Due to filling the Governor seat currently, Lucious isn’t capable of campaigning as everyone else. However, one night a woman with 4 kids knocked on his door and told she was just kicked out of her house due to not paying her rent because she lost her kid due to the recklessness of her boyfriend. She asked if she could stay with Lucious and of course he welcomed her with open arms.

 

Weeks passed and people weren’t understanding why Lucious had been so quick to end work. He seemed to be in a rush all the time recently yet no one knew why. A neighbor of witnessed kids playing outside and inside his house, so they called the police immediately. When the police arrived Lucious pulled up and asked what was going on...after the officer informed Lucious he realized it was time for a statement. Lucious prepared for his state addressing and sat proudly in front of the camera. He spoke:

”Recently I have been absent, this is due to the fact that I have been aiding a mother and her 4 children get on her feet. From the kids schooling, to the mother’s work, to my work as the Governor my hands have been full. The island knows of course, but I’ll state it anyway...I’m doing all and all! Campaigning isn’t a major concern of mine, I’m here doing my job and by every poll the people seem to agree. Thank you!”

People everywhere are shocked at the news, yet as always they realize Lucious is who he say he is. A man that protects his people!

Marie meets with the retiring officer, she thanks him for his hours upon hours of hard work and that he deserves all of the praise that he is getting.

Then Marie gets a text from Pierre that reads, “URGENT news about the Hamilton party, meet me IMMEDIATELY”. Marie socialises and thanks the police for their amazing work in a quick speech at the banquet and then slips out the back door, where her driver, Jacques, is waiting to take her to Pierre.

When she arrives, Pierre sits her down and  closes the door, with some of Marie’s bodyguards standing outside the door. Pierre pulls down the curtains and sits down opposite Marie.

“What is so “urgent” that you had me whisked away from the police banquet”, Marie says.

”Don’t worry, this is groundbreaking”.

Oooooohh, @FrancePourLaVie keep going!

Pierre speaks in a low voice saying, “I was digging around the Hamilton party and I ended up following a lead which lead me to contacting a woman named, Alyssa Trent”.

”And........?”, Marie says as she waits on Pierre’s next words.

”And, it turns out that Brian’s main man, and the Vice President of the Hamilton party has been sexually harassing and stalking Alyssa Trent”.

”Oh. My. God”, Marie says.

”So what is your plan to do with this information?”, Pierre asks Marie.

”I know EXACTLY, what to do”, Marie says.

Marie calls Brian and tells him to come to her mansion in the snow capped mountains. Alone.

Brian drives up and Marie welcomes him in. Jean is out working on the set in IDTV so she is alone with Brian.

She sits Brian down in her office and prepares to tell him the deal.

“The Vice-President of your party has been stalking and sexually harassing a woman who used to work for your party as a volunteer. She was called Alyssa Trent. And she is now in the worst place possible, alone. We’ve tried to offer her professional help but she refused it. Brian you need to fire your Vice-President. And Brian? You need to step down in this race if you want to save your name and if you want to save Lucious from being engulfed in a scandal”, Marie says to Brian without hesitation.

Brian thinks about it.

”Don’t take it personally Brian, I’m actually doing you a favour. If this had gotten into the wrong hands, then a crisis would have taken you, your party AND Lucious completely down”, Marie says, barely looking up from her stack of paperwork.

Brian stares at Marie and says, “This information has given me something to think about. Thank you for not running your mouth to the press about it”.

And then Brian’s frost white BMW speeds down the side of the mountain, camp flailing into the snow on the grounds of the rough mountain road.

Brian pulls over and calls Lucious on his phone.

”We need to talk”, Brian says when his call is sent to a voicemail.

Then, a text message brings on Brian’s phone.

It’s Marie.

It reads, “Hello Brian, sorry but I forgot to tell you this but my PA called and said that the press are hot on our tails and will find out about the scandal within a few hours, so you might want to make your announcement very soon”.

Brian rubs his head out of stress and continues to tear along the highway on his way to the town square.

Brian just looks at Marie before saying “I’ll release a statement tomorrow.” He then leaves.

The next morning Brian stands in the Town Square behind a podium. Behind him Lucious is sitting with a confident look. Brian speaks “It was brought to my attention last night that my VP has been involved in inappropriate sexual activities and due to this will no longer be a member of our party nor work directly with me in any way. This information was brought to me by a woman you all know very well, your candidate - Marie. As well as giving me the information she also threatened to slander my name and our current Governor Lucious Times if I did not drop out of the race. After I left her house I informed Lucious and he stands with me today. I will be dropping out of the race, not due to Marie’s threats but due to my belief that Lucious is the right leader for our Island. In time may I run, yes. But not this term, Thank you!”

 

As Lucious and Brian approach their car they are attacked by reporters with several questions.

”Did Marie threaten your life?”

”Will you now work with Lucious?”

”Will Marie drop out of the race?”

 

Lucious and Brian continue walking towards the vehicle and are driven away. 

John stands there, “witness the answers to your questions as they occurs. Good day!”

Marie was at home with Jean watching Brian deliver his speech.

During the first few minutes, Marie and Jean clapped as he spoke, they said statements such as, “Well done” and “You’ve saved Lucious!”

But when the speech grew near to the end and Brian turned on Marie, she sat silent.

Jean asked if she was OK, she just asked to be alone in her office for a few hours. Jean complied.

”Oh it is ON!”, Marie said to herself as she plots her next moves......
