[ WP ] In the future you can apply to the government for a killing permit . What it is is a piece of paper that exempts you from any legal action for the murder of one person of your choice . Describe one man 's experience with this permit .

`` So you're sure this is legal?'' I asked the man skeptically through the phone attached to the wall. I stared into his sunglasses through the scratched bullet-proof glass. 
 
 `` Of course it is. The government has a new program called the LTK set up. The License to Kill will allow you to kill one person as you see fit. This was implemented so that the criminals we knew who would get away with their crimes would get their punishments. The rapists with the best lawyers, the murderers that we only have circumstantial evidence on, the people we want to take down but can not legally. This is where you come in. Your sentence will not be dismissed, the life imprisonment call will still stand. However, if you accept, you will be moved to a special facility. Basically, it is filled with the men who we assign the licenses to. Some are n't even criminals, just sociopaths who need an outlet.'' 
 
 I interrupted him at this point. `` And so what exactly would I be doing? Because it sounds like this is a dumb idea. Why not issue these licenses to the FBI or the CIA or whatever? Do n't you guys already do that anyways?'' 
 
 `` Not legally, no. We are exploiting a loophole while the loophole is open Mr. Ghalghan. If this loop closes before you retire, we will still retire you in the facility we have made specifically for this cause. Are you open to the idea or no?'' The man with the sunglasses stared at me. He stayed expressionless while he talked, speaking in a low monotone. Almost like a robot. 
 
 `` Fine,'' I told the man through the phone. `` I just have one question, as I do n't really watch the news anymore. Is this out in the open? Or do I need to keep it a secret, like secret spy shit?'' 
 
 `` Of course you will need to keep this quiet.'' He said to me in his monotone. `` We are circumventing constitutional rights with this program. We are stepping closer to fascism with this program. We are restricting our people's liberties without them knowing it. And we do n't care. Are you in?'' 
 
 I looked at him, just stared into his sunglasses for a few seconds. `` Fine. I'm in.'' I muttered. `` Hitler was n't that bad of a guy anyways. When do I leave this prison?'' 
 
 The man showed emotion. A small smile adorned his face. `` Excellent. Your work begins tomorrow. Your first license is to kill a man within this prison. It will justify our moving you to a different facility.'' 
 
 He held up a yellow envelope, taped shut with scotch tape. `` A guard who is part of the LTK program will hand this to you. You will do what you have to. Glad to see that you are open to this line of work.'' 
 
 With that, he hung up the phone and walked away. Dick did n't even say goodbye. Guess I should get used to it. I'm about to be a government employee.
