Agon sat comfortably on his couch inside the room where he worked as secretary of defense when an old man dressed in a uniform covered with badges Hogur stormed in. He removed his cap, revealing his thin white hair. The many badges hanging on his uniform sounded like a bell. Hogur was Agon’s assistant and second in command in the Department of Defense.

“It’s done sir,” Hogur said twiddling his long white mustache. “The vice-president’s mansion is ready to receive you and your family.”

He put down his cigarette in the ashtray, looked up, and blew smoke in the air. He smiled slightly and stood up with both his hands pressing his long rosewood table.
