The Pietriots had suffered major losses without anything to show for it. Only one man was left to do the job. He knew immediately that the smart move would would be to stay quiet and wait. He had a feeling that Vudu, an influential townie would be quite dangerous and needed to die.
He climbed the clock tower and sat next to the uppermost window with his rifle at his side. At 2 AM, Vudu would come outside, meet with his mistress, walk two blocks east, and enter in a cab that he'd scheduled. It was a nightly ritual.
The Pietriot heard the door open. Vudu stood in place waiting for the woman. A minute later, he was convulsing in a pool of blood. The Pietriot ran, the last thing he heard was a horrified shriek.
Mystic Gohan was really excited as he went to sleep. The town seemed to be safter, and that Judge sure seemed that a great hero. Before he went to bed, he just kept going on and on about how amazing the Judge was in action to his Uncle Bob. Uncle Bob, a simple townie who'd served in World War II and won 10 Purple Hearts, 5 Bronze Stars, 2 Silver Stars, and the only living survivor with a Medal of Honor for single handedly taking down an entire Nazi Artillery with nothing but a pocket knife and a C-ration, simply nodded at the boy.
But, soon, Gohan got tired, gave Uncle Bob a big hug and went off to sleep. He would see his Uncle Bob again the next day at the Courthouse, and boy was he excited. His two greatest heroes together. His dreams were filled with war and tragedy, yet they were good dreams, because, in the end, he was always the victor. Gohan wanted to join the Army so badly he could taste it.
He woke up refreshed, went to school, and around 9 o'clock was summoned to the principal's office. Principal BreakyBoy was there along with Gohan's parents, Pale and Mrs. Pale. His father and mother were in tears.
Gohan was so devastated about hearing how his Uncle Bob had been mutilated, drained of blood, and then hung at the Courtroom that he threw up, ran home, and cried himself to sleep.
