[ WP ] The world is controlled by a small and secret group of people , but they are in fact good guys and have a hard time preventing humankind from self destruction .

Reading my father's will was certainly a strange experience. He described the small and secret group he was part of. 
 
 It was super conspiracy level stuff. My dad was either insane or part of something... 
 
 Well something disturbing. All I can imagine is some evil illuminati pulling strings to their whims. 
 
 He did n't leave much detail about who they were or what they did. 
 
 He drew the logo, the shield on top of the earth, and told me about there regular meeting. 
 
 So here I am. A pistol in my pocket. I'm going to find out everything about these guys. And if I do n't like it, I'll kill them. 
 
 I push open the door. 
 
 Inside four people seated and one empty seat. 
 
 I look at the four. 
 
 The first, an Egyptian looking male with a tattoo of the infinity symbol on his head. 
 
 The second, a very attractive female with a 3rd eye tattoo on her head. 
 
 The third, a male in a suit, no tattoos. 
 
 The fourth, a male in sci-fi style clothing, with an hourglass tattoo on his head. 
 
 They each have a top of the range laptop, and projected on a screen is the logo with a countdown. 
 
 `` What's the countdown for'' I ask. 
 
 `` How long until Donald trump is sworn in'' replies the suit guy. 
 
 `` Ah I see, so you rigged the election and he's your puppet?'' I ask, reaching my right hand into my pocket. 
 
 `` We do n't rig elections, although maybe we should. He's not our puppet, and were worried about him to say the least'' answers suit guy. 
 
 `` What's your goal?'' I ask. 
 
 `` Protect the earth'' the group say in unison. 
 
 Yep, they're a cult. I prepare myself and grip my pistol. 
 
 `` We're the good guys, I would n't shoot if I were you'' exclaims the female. 
 
 I pull out my pistol. 
 
 `` Go on, shoot me'' said the Egyptian guy. 
 
 The sci-fi guy pulls out a black box with a red button. 
 
 `` Do n't press that button'' I say pointing my gun at him. 
 
 `` I do n't think it'll be needed'' the lady says to the sci-fi guy. 
 
 `` Who are you guys?'' I ask. 
 
 `` We're the Earth Defence Initiative'' replies suit guy. 
 
 `` Yeah, yeah, for the greater good, sounds very cult like to me'' I say. 
 
 `` We're trying to save the world from destruction'' says suit guy. 
 
 `` Right, right, through some fascist scheme were you rule all, I get it'' I reply. 
 
 `` We're not fascist, everything goes to a vote, even using the device'' says the female, hinting at sci-fi guy. 
 
 `` The face tattoos are a dead giveaway, weird cult.'' I say. 
 
 The Egyptian guy stands up and takes a few steps forward. 
 
 I shoot. 
 
 It plinks of his skin like it was metal. 
 
 `` I'm an immortal who has lived thousands of years, the female can see short distances into the future, and the guy dressed like he's from the future is actually from the future, fancy putting the gun down now?'' He asks. 
 
 `` What about suit guy?'' I ask. 
 
 `` The best leader we could find'' he replies. 
 
 `` And my father?'' I ask. 
 
 `` The funding, of course'' he replies. 
 
 I lower my gun and sit down. 
 
 `` That did go a lot better then last time'' said the sci-fi guy.
