“Okay, quiet down,” Executive Press Secretary Elisabeth Mooring insisted, pushing her thin-wired glasses up her gently sloping nose. The Executive Press Corp was all a buzz from the news being leaked about the death of James Kompco. Lis Mooring herself was briefed just a couple hours after it happened, and although the Executive Office tends to be closed on National Holidays, that day was an exception. Thinking of the delicious bratwurst she and her husband were supposed to be grilling, she paused momentarily. Starting back up after the room had fallen slightly more silent, “As many of you all know traditionally the Executive Office of the President is closed today due to Memorial Day. However, I was called by Hampton Ray, the President’s Chief of Staff, and briefed me on a subject I think many of your newspapers will find interesting if you don’t already know.”

“Lis, does this have anything to do with James Kompco’s suicide?” A report shouted.

“This does concern James Kompco’s passing. However, I would tread softly when referring to it as a suicide,” Lis said pointing to her note pad, “Last night Mr. James Kompco, the embattled CEO of the Republic Power Company was pronounced dead after being pulled from his car just outside of the RPC’s large plant and headquarter building.

The most interesting bullet that has been found was lodged in the wheel well of Mr. Kompco’s SUV. Although the findings have not been officially announced, I am confident that we will discover there was in fact fowl play involved.”

She paused, as several hands shot up, “Has RPC expressed who will be replacing Mr. Kompco?”

Lis looked down, finding her notes woefully under documented, “I have no doubt the Board will bring in someone new as CEO, however I do not have the slightest idea of when that will be. That’s their circus, not ours.”

“Lis, will the President have any say in who the new CEO will be for RPC seeing as he helped to engineer the bail out for the power company?”

Nodding her head, “Absolutely not. The President is not a member of the Board of Directors of the company. As I have explained to you all multiple times, the loan that was given to the
