Washington D.C.

Day Eighteen

6.45 a.m. E.S.T.

Buz Trueman was a hard man. Ex-marine, ex-senator, and more recently ex-husband, his divorce had just come through, he had few friends, and he really didn't care. He lived for power. And he had a lot of that.

Built like a tank, heavy and tall, regulation army hair-cut with large biceps and a big-barrelled chest, if he hadn't been a shrewd and intelligent businessman, he would have done well as boxer or a professional wrestler. The survivor of a street education in the Italian district of New York, he had first broken his nose in a fight at the tender age of seven. Buz had lost the fight, and he had never forgotten the shame he felt when he had limped home, blood pouring from between the fingers of his hand as he tried to stop the blood and hold his face together. His mother had hidden him from his father, a butcher who had arrived in New York from Italy just after the war, and when he had eventually asked his son about how it came to be broken, Buz had lied and said he had fallen over.

His father had laughed, and told them that the whole neighbourhood knew that his son had been beaten up in a fight, and that he had cried and run away. Buz senior had called his son a wimp, and had laughed some more.

After that Buz had deliberately sought out fights, often starting them himself, determined to prove himself and make his father proud of him. He lost twelve straight fights in a row before one day he almost killed a boy two years older than himself. When his father had picked his son up from the police station, he was smiling. On the way home, he took his son to the cinema, and bought him some ice-cream. His father hadn't stopped smiling for days.

After that, Buz never lost a fight again.

As he grew older, Buz's business acumen came to the fore. After a rather unspectacular stint in the Marines, he went back to New York and opened a stall selling electrical goods. Soon he had a proper shop, then a chain, which grew from one city to another. New York, Chicago, San Francisco, one by one his electrical business opened outlets in all the major cities across America.

As the years passed and the money began to roll in, he swapped the street brawling for the corporate boardroom, although it was well known but never proven that occasionally he would resort to the tactics of his youth to sort out a wayward business rival.

With a personal fortune estimated well in excess of $13billion dollars, he had everything he needed, apart from everything which he didn’t have. And he wanted that too. When Buz Trueman decided that he wanted something, no matter what it was, he got it.

Nowadays, there were few people on the American continent, or anywhere else for that matter, that would knowingly go up against him. Buz Trueman didn't take prisoners, and he seldom lost.
