 I’m the Secret Service Agent who let President Winters be assassinated.  Afterwards, I tried to kill Saxon, abiding by my oath to defend the Constitution “against all enemies”.

He played the genial host.  “Where are you from?”

I lied.  “Grafton, Idaho.”

Blue eyes froze my soul.  “Denver, Colorado,” he corrected.

You know what happened.  The Valiant hovered low for an excellent view.  An audiolink let me hear the screaming.  I mumbled, “Merciful God,” over and over, and hoped my execution would come soon.

Saxon said, “There is no God, but I am merciful.  I’ll spare your life.”  And he laughed.

Thanks for the kind words. Yes, friending me is fine -- I don't have any personal/private stuff in this LJ.
