It's about what he wanted to do. It's about what he desired to do, which he didn't succeed in doing but which when it was done, he didn't know who actually did. Now, he was arrested for the deed.
Lanky is on his way to jail, not hoping for a bail. The senator is dead. He was shot on the forehead and with this sudden death, the senator has paid for his evil debt.
An evil man the senator had been. Lanky lost his sister to the senator's sexual abuse because instead of giving her the job she sought from him, he demanded for sex in a hotel. This was against her faith and pride. And this is a wicked price for her against all her qualifications.
The senator later raped her and claimed her virginity. Imagine the iniquity. She went for an abortion and it claimed her life. Now, it hurts Lanky like a knife. She died in his arms, as he was still reading some psalms to her.
Lanky took the law into his hands and got a gun into his right hand. Then, he headed towards the senator's rally, where Lanky planned to sink the senator's life in a valley of death. Few meters away, Lanky stood before the senator. He pointed the gun at the senator. But just then, something happened...
In just a second, before Lanky's shot, from somewhere, a shot came. The senator screamed and dropped to the ground. Lanky became surprised. He hadn't shot his gun but another person had! Now standing in the open, with a gun in his hand, and still gaping, Lanky remained the prime suspect for that lot. It was a crime he planned but did not commit.
It was too late to explain. Lanky already knew he would be going to jail. Who would believe him? With a gun in his hand in a broad day light, he remained a prime suspect. It pleased Lanky that the senator is gone but it pained him that the senator didn't die by Lanky's gun.
Lanky was led away by some policemen.
... Nuel.
Quiet a story. I can't say it leaves me with a happy feeling. At least Lanky showed some courage.
