Nathan Miguel was born with, as they say, a dozen golden spoons in his mouth. His attributed his speech impediment to the same. His father, Frank Miguel was the most successful criminal advocate in the state of Okura and had successfully assissted many guily convicts to escape the chair and taste free air within 5 years. He had failed only once when the concerned gentleman shot himself in the prison.

His success had forced him to ignore his son while he grew up in a huge room filled with toys. books and nannies. The boys' mother had died of complications while carrying Nathan's baby sister along with the baby. Nathan was told that his father was not around when he was born and the five-year-old observed that he was not around when his mother died. Frank had won historic cases on both occasions and was conveniently busy.

As a 14 year old kid Nathan made up for his lack of the gift of gab with his writing. His columns and articles were most sought after in the school journals and magazines. His father, as he expected, was not big fan and told him once that he himself hired a typist to do that stuff for him.

It was a special day for Frank Miguel as tomorrow was the launch party for his autobiography, Crime and Me. Nathan had gone through the manuscript while it was being discussed and written by a panel of unknown writers working on a wage. Not much to his amazement, he discovered that his father managed to spend a lot of family time amidst such chaos and violence, and how he missed his mother. Frank never wore his wedding ring while he was with another woman.

Nathan hated the book, the title the most, the crappy style of writing and the pandora of lies his father was throwing away at the audience that he wished was his. He decided to talk to his father about this.

Frank was busy as usual and did not care to lift his head when Nathan entered his study. Nathan waited and so did Frank.

"Dad, I need to talk to you about something."

"Shoot!", responded Frank with irritation in his voice.

The silencer equipped gun of Frank made a muffled noise as Nathan pulled the trigger.
