[ WP ] You have been accepted into the elite society . You have been paid millions per month for doing nothing . You 're best friends with the president . However , there 's a cost . You must murder someone every single month . If you 're caught , you are executed on the spot .

I laughed when they told me. The funniest thing had been how serious they were. Sure, I'd murder someone every month, yeah, yeah. And then as the minutes wore by I realized that they were actually serious, they meant it. And I laughed again. 
 
 The funny part this time had been in that they actually took it seriously. Not that it was n't a serious subject, but that they were actually worried about being caught. They were actually worried about some sort of Washington Post expose with Murdergate headlines. Seriously? 
 
 I was part of the 1 % of the 1 %, receiving millions every month on royalties on my patent rights alone. I'd taken a page out of Microsoft's book and invested heavily in all of my biggest competitors. No matter who won out in the end, I'd win. Even if I lost, I was still going to win when I liquidated my company. And of course if I won I was really going to win once I liquidated them. It was impossible for me to run out of money -- unless I assigned the task to others it was impossible for me to spend more money than I made. Of course the President wanted to be my best friend -- every political figure everywhere wanted to be my best friend. 
 
 So when they told me that I had to murder someone, that there was actually this mystic importance placed on it, when they showed me data, when they got serious about how important it was that I kill and not get caught or the supernatural don't-break-the-masquerade police would execute me on the spot I could n't stop laughing. 
 
 Once I got myself under control, I placed a few calls and made a few donations. I now own the largest nonprofit abortion clinics in every state. Getting my license was even easier, especially when I was the one who funded the board's creation in the first place. I'm not very good, but that's why I always have a couple surgeons standing around ready to go. I now get to murder many someones, in every state, every month. Sure, it may not be murder as far as our legal system goes. The women whose babies I abort actually invite me in and shake my hand afterward, thanking me. But the Justicars who police my ever growing capital have n't adjusted with the times and abortion is still technically murder. The kicker? They're also bound by the laws of the land and ca n't execute me on the spot because what I'm doing is perfectly legal and they are lawful to a T. I do the crime all the time by their rules but never have to do the time by our rules because even when they catch me red-handed, I'm not technically red-handed. 
 
 It's gotten to be really fun. I actually stuck my tongue out at a Justicar yesterday. The young woman asked what I was doing and I made up some pithy thing about sticking it to the imaginary man who wanted to hold her down and not let me do what I was doing. We laughed. It's really gotten to be fun. I wonder how much more fun it'll be when I get one of those women alone in a closet and strangle the life out of them? We can probably clean up the body the exact same way.
