At this point, I tap my boss on the shoulder and point to the news channel My boss reads the scrolling news alerts -Gun Battle In Odostan He looks at me and says, “Keep an eye on that Also look up the keywords ‘Odostan,’ ‘Kuva,’ and ‘Yuri Molidak’ on Twitter”

I do just as uy Civilians in Kuva - the capital city of Odostan - are most likely to have the first eyewitness reports as to what is going on I find a spare iPad in the Gulfstreain to monitor Twitter

I type in “Kuva” Already, I am hit with dozens of tweets

“Military opening fire in Kuva!”

“Army Tanks on streets in Kuva, headed towards Presidential Palace!!!”

“Firefight in Kuva Military coup! Finally, they are going to get that bastard Molidak!”

I keep updating the feed And I can’t believe the second-by-second updates co from the center of the revolt

“Massive explosion near the Palace Black s from the center of Kuva!”

“Planes flying over the skies in Kuva They are firing at Molidak’s Palace!”

It takesonthe Twitter feed with the same rapt attention as myself

“Is this going as planned, sir?”

“No It iscould be over by the tiets back on his phone

I go back to the news channels and see raw ca from Kuva The news anchor mentions that the military has “taken over” everyallowed out of the capital city

My heart races with excitement Could I really be instru to feel the “high” of having power To be honest, it isspree on Rodeo Drive,on a private jet andtrips to Monte Carlo

I go back to the tweets The Presidential Palace is surrounded Civilians are beginning to run out onto the streets, cheering on the soldiers Mr Peak barks into his phone, “Have the cars ready e land in Teterboro I aht to the office Make sure everyone is there by 8 am”
