All throughout the day, the townspeople of Betaville were biting their nails. Who would kill their mayor in such cold blood? By evening, the townies gathered at the top of the monstrous hill in the center of town to decide once and for all who was guilty. Accusations were thrown left and right, children were crying, and there seemed to be a storm a'brewin' north of the mountains bordering Betaville. As the first drops of rain began to fall, the accusations became channeled into one vicious hate crime; against a very susceptible enemy.
Green_Lantern stood atop the stone resting at the summit of the hill, gesticulating wildly as he shouted his chant: "Courtney Love did it! She killed Kurt, too!!" One by one, the townspeople's eyes averted from one another, and centered directly on Ms. Love, who stood shivering near the bottom of the hill, rocking back and forth. "Guys... I need a fix," Courtney stammered, unaware of the townies' impending violence. Only a few people at first, then more and more, began slowly trudging down the muddy hill, waving sticks and kicking rocks, chanting, "Courtney! Courtney! Courtney!" not a cry of devotion, but a sickening mantra of cold-blooded fury. As the first townspeople reached the bottom of the hill, ambling towards the now cowering Love, a long, shrill screech erupted far down the street. In a spray of raindrops, Longo and his fancy car came barreling down the street at a breakneck speed, engines roaring and wheels churning up a furious tempest of smoke. As Courtney Love scrambled away on her back, wriggling and writhing inches from the fury of the mob, Longo came tearing through the crowd, viciously making head-on contact with Courtney, and sending her body ragdolling down the street and into the nearby river. As the car drifted into a clean 180, the townspeople began to cheer, and Longo slowly revved himself back to the crowd, fresh raindrops serenading the chants of "Longo! Longo! Longo!" now perforating the streets and nearby alleyways. In a flash of lightning, the door of the car raised up, and out came Longo, decked out in a suit, sunglasses, and flashing his glossy Mac 10 for extra effect. His lustrous hair fluttered in the gale, and the cheers continued. For at least a minute the townspeople stood through the storm, hailing Longo and his incredible awesomeness, surrounding him with cheers and praise.
As the rain continued to fall, a dark figure flitted across the skyline, from building to building, slowly approaching the hillside all of Betaville now occupied. Longo looked down, adjusting his shirt, turned, and strode back to his car. All of a sudden, a torrential firestorm erupted from the engine, and the car exploded, scalding shards of metal whizzing amongst the now frenzied crowd. From the wreckage stumbled the mutilated body of Courtney Love, face contorted with anger. "I... NEED MY... FIX!!" Courtney shouted, sounding inhuman as she dove at Longo, and the battle began. Longo attempted to draw his gun, but Courtney snarled, leapt at him, and tore the gun from his hands, splintering it in her fist. Longo leapt high in the air, removing his sunglasses and extracting a pen knife from within his suit jacket. He landed inches to Courtney's left, quickly slashing across his body at the now fleeing crackhead. Love scrambled out into the city, bounding up a building like a frightened squirrel up a tree, snarling and foaming at the mouth. Longo jumped to the window-cleaning elevator sitting at the bottom of a nearby building, and began scrambling up the rope by hand, climbing at a miraculous rate. By the time he had reached the top, however, Courtney was already there, waiting with an enormous needle in hand. Cackling, she thrust it down over the edge, towards the helpless Longo, repeatedly missing by fractions of an inch. At the sixth thrust, Longo felt a handhold, rappelled himself upward, and snatched hold of the massive syringe. He pulled down, and felt Courtney flip over him, snatching a hold of Longo's soaking hair as she fell, and stabbing the syringe into the side of the building, slowing her fall. Longo howled in pain, turned, and withdrew his penknife for the second time, slashing behind him and removing his luscious locks of hair, and leaving Courtney grasping for nothing but air. She shrieked, plummeting to the ground with much clumsiness, as Longo struggled to the top of the building, retrieved the syringe, and dove after her. As Courtney crumpled to the street below, Longo slammed directly into her ribs with the syringe, cracking the asphalt and rumbling the ground below her. Blood and heroin spurted from Courtney Love's shriveled heart as she twitched momentarily under the immense force that was Longo's rippling biceps, and then lay still. Rain pattering through the city was the only sound for a good ten seconds, and then the crowd exploded into applause, heaving Longo into the air and carrying him to the top of the hill. As they lowered him to the ground, Longo suddenly convoluted and began coughing up blood. "I'm... dying," Longo gasped, as one side of his face began turning blue, and his left arm seemed completely deflated. "She stuck me with that damn syringe."
"Come on, guys," Schimmel announced. "Let's put him out of his misery, he's already done so much for our town."
A resounding cheer erupted through Betaville, as Schimmel slowly set up the gallows resting at the hilltop. Longo was carried up into the noose, and let himself limp while the trapdoor snapped open below. The residents took turns paying their respects, and it wasn't until HK-47 began fondling Longo's corpse that another truth was revealed. "Longo's got a card in his pants, here!" He and Kapow quickly undressed Longo to find "other evidence" as the rest of the town pondered over the card. After a long while, Lien lifted a confused head to the rest of the crowd. "Longo was in the Mafia!"
At once the crowd erupted. They took handle of Longo's body, dragged it through the mud and rocks, and threw into the swollen river, to be gone forevermore.
Longo_2_guns is dead. He was in the Mafia.
IT IS NOW NIGHT 2.
