At the same night when one of humanity’s most infamous and bitter foes left acertain house of ill repute, in the capital’s red quarter; a meeting took place inquite another quarter, to which he was bound. Its participants were the heads ofthe state three intelligence services plus the president’s representative. Theissue of that limited and clandestine meeting, was the fate of that certain man.The alleged reason to that meeting was in fact some suggestions, which werebrought up by that certain person, in a direct discussion with one theintelligence branches head; concerning various operations, which that personintended to carry out, under the auspices of his host’s organization.Despite the fact that his guest served another state, his suggestion did not seempuzzling to his host. Although his guest was deposed of his office and his powerwas considerably cut down; still this man who was sitting opposite him was aliving legend, and was craving to ride the storm again. His guest’s suggestionswere in fact a hidden plea for help, intended to get his organization support inhis guest’s struggle against his ex superior. These were the host thoughts andconclusions. As his guest’s superior had ousted him in the first opportunity thatfell into his hands.The dispute details were known to the host, and to the limited circle of those fewwho dealt with this sophisticated domain. He knew his guest well enough, he usedto meet him time and again in the previous years; and was glad to be in touch withthat famous man, and glad to be his friend before he himself reached his elatedstatus.But now things have changed, his guest was ousted and was left without any power,while his turning to him was a hopeless gamble in fact – derived out ofdesperation.The distinguished host did not express his views, but let his guest bring on hisarguments, and when the latter has done with it, an oppressive silence ensued.While brooding indecisively he watched his guest’s features in quite anotherlight. He had to make an effort to hide the relish at his guest’s misfortunes. Fordespite their friendship he envied that ex nobody who came out of the gutter androse up like a comet; while he in spite of his noble descent, his education, andcurrent office never reached so much fame as this uneducated Fellach (farmer).Thus he calmed his guest with a few words of praise and encouragement, andpromised to examine his guest’s request and update him in a few days’ time.Meanwhile he suggested to him to enjoy his days, and never doubt the loyalty, andthe efforts of his true friends on his behalf.When the living legend was driving his car on his way to his lodgings, where theheadquarters of the various intelligence organizations were located; thatclandestine meeting that discussed his fate took place, in that same quarter notfar off from his lodgings. Several more were involved indirectly, including his exboss, who still feared his ex second in command; knowing very well that the latterwas staying some weeks already in the next state’s capital, as a guest of thatstate intelligence organizations and was expecting their support.After some preliminary small talk his host brought up the living legend’ssuggestions and reported in detail his own impressions – and asked the others toexpress one after the other their opinions. It was quite obvious to him that hisguest had nothing more to contribute, and that his suggestions were a round aboutway to gain their support; or to find some solution that will put him back in hisoffice, whether by restoring his relationship with his boss – or simply forcinghis boss to accept him back, whether he likes it or not. As his friendlyrelationship with his guest were very well known, he thought he had better keephis conclusions to himself, and let the others do his job.None of the rest liked the man, and though they never declared it openly – nowthat he was down and out they could loosen their tongues. One after the other theyhave disassociated themselves of their ex hero, and in just a bit different
