ABOUT A FEW MONTHS AGO, JIM JACKSON, THE FATHER OF JOHN JACKSON WAS MURDERED BY JEFFREY. JIM WAS INVOLVED IN A BANQUET WHICH TOOK PLACE ON A CRUISING BOAT. JEFFREY SHOWED UP AT THAT SAME BANQUET TO GET DOWN TO BUSINESS. LATER AT THE BANQUET THE BOAT SANK AND JIM NEARLY DROWNED UNDER THE WATER BUT LUCKILY HE WAS AWAKE IN A HOSPITAL BED. JEFFREY SHOWED UP AT THE HOSPITAL AND SHOT JIM. JIM JACKSON NO LONGER EXISTS AND JOHN'S ON HIS OWN. NOW JEFFREY HAS TAKEN OUT JIM BUT CAN HE DO THE SAME TO JOHN? JOHN HAS COME HOME FROM COLLEGE AND HE’S LOOKING FOR REVENGE ON JEFFEREY. ALSO, JEFFREY IS TRYING TO RUN FOR PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES, BUT IT IS VERY POSSIBLE HE WILL  WIN, DUE TO HIM BEING PLANNING TO MURDER THE OTHER 2 CANDIDATES ALTHOUGH JEFFREY'S PLACED IN THIRD PARTY. NO MONEY IS REALLY INVOLVED THIS  TIME. IT’S JUST ALL ABOUT JOHN AND JEFFREY SETTLING THIS ONCE AND FOR ALL. WHAT WILL HAPPEN?

(CAMERA IS SHOWING THE CITY OF NEW BRAGDON)

NR: HEY EVERYONE. DON’T RECOGNIZE THE VOICE? WELL JUST TO LET YOU KNOW. IT’S JOHN. THAT’S RIGHT, JOHN JACKSON. I’M 20, JUST GOT OUT OF COLLEGE, AND BELIEVE ME, I’M NOT HAPPY AFTER WHAT I HEARD. MY FATHER WAS AT A BANQUET AND JEFFREY SHOWED UP THERE (SHOWING THE SCENE IN KIND OF A BLURRY VISION) TRYING SOME STUPID SHIT. AND YEAH, HE MURDERED MY FATHER AT THE HOSPITAL. I’M A GROWN MAN NOW, BUT JIM, WAS THE BEST GUY I EVER MET. I WAS LUCKY TO HAVE HIM AS A FATHER, BUT NOW I’M NOT SO LUCKY, SINCE HE’S GONE. I MEAN IT WOULD’VE BEEN BETTER IF THE BOTH OF US TOOK OUT JEFFREY. NOW I DIDN’T HEAR ABOUT THIS UNTIL I WAS FIVE. I DIDN’T REALLY PAY ATTENTION. BUT NOW I REALLY UNDERSTAND. JUST SIT BACK AND WITNESS MY STORY
