Jefferson Nicholas

  A young 26 year old politician making waves in the conservative party. In Brasilia the political center of Brazil. He had used every resource possible to get himself where he was. For the most part he was reasonably honest. Just a little vindictive.

2014 Something forms.
Chapter 1 

Jefferson drank down his last mouthful.
"See you guys in the Plenary tomorrow." Jeff said.
His colleagues waved to him. Antonio followed him out.
Jeff waved Antonio over. "Come ride with me. We have many things to talk about."
They began to talk about the increased pressure to tow the party line.
Signs of corruption were starting to become more evident. The shapes of schemes.

They drove down an avenue parallel to the city's lake. 
Antonio in his late thirties, his face showing signs of aging already.
"We can't stay out of their schemes, we just need to learn how to play their game better than them."
"Antonio, you don't get it. If it's their game it can never be your game." Grinning his young face full of cocky self satisfaction.
"That's all good and proper, but aren't you afraid they'll get to you. And if they do, they'll probably go after more than just your cooperation."

There was a long silence, they drove back toward the city.
"Where should my driver leave you Antonio?"
"Leave me near Planaltina. I have a friend I need to talk to there."
"A little rough isn't it..."

Before Antonio answered the question bullets came into the windshield. The bullet proofing stopped them from coming through.
The car screamed to a stop. The driver pulled a pistol.
"You guys stay here in the car, I'll go see who shot at us."
"Bad idea Edilson. Just get us out of here!" Jefferson screamed.
"I can't drive the windscreen is too cracked. I can't see a thing." Edilson the driver said.
Edilson opened the driver door, hands came out of nowhere pulling him away.
A man pointed his assault rifle inside the cabin of the car at Antonio and Jefferson.
"You are going to hand over your phones and credit cards boys, or you'll die here in the back of this car." 
Jeff and Antonio handed all, of their cards over.
The man called over his friend who had a mobile card reader. They started swiping the cards and stealing the funds.
A few minutes later they threw a trembling bloody Edilson back into the vehicle.
"I told you stay in the fucking car Edilson. Now look at you?"
Antonio put his hand Jeff's shoulder in a gesture of calm.
"I'm sorry" jefferson said. "Take us home."
