The Plan Goes Awry
10 Downing Street
Edmund Burke sat in his office chair, he is imagining that the Third Coalition War will be succesful in toppling the damned Corsican and his Amazonian wife. He's imagining The British Army marching down the street of Paris while God Save The King playing in the background.
"Beautiful..." he murmured.
Just as he was getting deeper into his daydream, a knock on his office door brought him back. Edmund sigh, then said "Come in."
His secretary come in, holding a piece of paper. "Sir, a report from the front." He then gave the report to Edmund, then excuse himself.
Edmund then read the report. "Coalition armies in Germany defeated. Two Prussians armies annihilated and The British army attempted to evacuate. They failed to do so. Sir John Moore is dead."
Edmund slowly stands up, his mouth hang open. Then he screamed, "Oh no!!" While hitting his desk.
Edmund sat in his office, drinking wine. His secretary comes in, bringing a report. "Sir, report from the Italian front." His secretary then stand beside him.
Edmund reads the report. "Coalition army defeated in Italy. Massena triggered an avalanche which buried the Coalition Army."
Edmund slowly stands up, backhanded his secretary while screaming, "Get out!" He paused, then hit his desk, "NO!!!"
Edmund was playing with a grenade, when his secretary comes in bringing a report.
"Prime minister." His secretary said while putting the report.
Edmund stops playing with the grenade then read the report. "Swedish and Prussian Marshals duel each other. Both of them died. Berlin captured by Napoleon. A civil war in Sweden."
Edmund hit his desk, crumpled the report then throw at his secretary. "OUT!! You... OUT!!!" He screamed. His secretary immidiately run.
'Not fast enough.' He thought. Edmund then lit the grenade, throw it at his secretary. Moments later, he realised his mistake, and duck behind his desk.
Edmund is in a middle of giving order to his secretary. "Make sure His Majesty does not shitting in the park again. Do you understand me?"
When suddenly The First Lord of Admiralty comes in shouting, "Prime Minister!!" Then he put the report down.
"What?!" Edmund flinched. "Ah, yes, not so loud you asshole..." he paused while reading the report. "Succesful raid in The Americas. Bringing loots and slave."
He stare at the First Lord of Admiralty, grab his hand and shook it. "No, this is indeed excellent. Great! Congratulations..." he was about to continue to praise the navy and the admiralty when suddenly, his secretary whisper, "Sir, look carefuly at the end of the report." While pointing at it.
Edmund then read it. "Failed to raid Haiti. Intercepted by the three nations' navy. Lost all the loots and slave. Admiral Adam Duncan died."
Edmund frowned, squeeze the First Lord's hand, until he can hear the bone break. After Edmund hears the satisfying sound of the First Lord's hand broke, he then let go of it. "Get out of here with the REPORT!!" Edmund screamed while throwing the report at the First Lord's face. The First Lord then immidiately run out of the Prime Minister's Office.
After the damn sailor run out of his office, Edmund sat at his office chair. Rumanaging cabinets in his desk, and found what he's looking for. A pistol. When Edmund secreatary saw the pistol, he immidiately run out of the office.
Edmund ignore his secretary and load his pistol, pointing it at his head. His hand holding the pistol is shaking, he could feel the sweat trailing on his back. Frustated, he aim the pistol at the floor, and pull the trigger while screaming. Moments later, he could hear a scream downstair. That voice sounds familiar.
"Oh no..." he whispered. "Jane?"
