Behind the scenes discussion of old foxes

"You all know why I call you here." One of the men began to introduce. "Let's talk about our situation. How do we deal with tonight's arrest."

"The question is should we intervene and directly turn over the impending court ruling." The second man spoke. "Although the price is high, we can take him out if we want to. After all, this old senator knows too much; what if he leaks something?"

"He won't do it even if he's tortured. He knows what's at stake here. He dare not risk his family's life." The third man complained. "This old bastard knows how to play deep and got arrested. An embarrassment for our circle."

"Why don't we kill him?" The first man suggested. "Dead men tells no tales. I have my contact in the police and in prison to stage a suicide or accident."
