Let her not feel so small. The entire officers’ union stands by her in her hour of bereavement.
Famous last words from a trade union leader, on the death of a colleague and rival for leadership positions.
The lady he consoled is the widow of the guy who said (a few days earlier), “I can forgive the ignorant who think hooliganism is the only way to get what they want. I cannot forgive you, because you are intelligent and know what you are doing is unethical.”
Little did they know that he would take a step ahead on unethical paths, and eliminate competition by spiking his rival’s drink.

Most of the murders are committed for this reason only,’ fear of being exposed.’ Superb writing, Reena.
