“I can feel no sense of measure
No illusions as we take
Refuge in young man's pleasure
Breaking down the dreams we make
Real
Ah leave it
Ah leave it
Goodbye goodbye goodbye bad
Hello hello heaven
Goodbye goodbye goodbye bad
Hello hello heaven
One down one to go
Another town and one more show”
--Squire/Rabin/Horne


Sunset, Day Five

All of these meetings seemed fractious now. Arguments would rage back and forth, accusations and dismissals were flung about with abandon. In the end, it always came down to a vote…

"Andres do you have any last words?" Louis VI the Fat asked.

"Indeed I do! Ladies and gentlemen, may I present to you the star of tonight:

The Stracci family's most talented singer:

Andres!"



"Thank you, thank you! I have another song ready for you, my favourite audience."



"I like that enthousiasm! Kudos to Vaya con Dios for the original version of this wonderful song. Ladies an gentlemen, may I have your attention for "Stracci, don't cry for Louis."




He gave up all my friends
My friends from out of town
Bought himself what he wanted
Yes he let us down
When he saw me crying
He said I was a wuss
When my heart was bleeding
He turned around and laughed
Stracci's don't cry for Louis
Louis wouldn't cry for you
When you walk the streets for Louis
You better watch out for what Louis tells you
I met Louis on a hazy morning
When the bars where closing down
He said Andres I really like your family
You and I we'll burn this town
This traitor, sir, mislead me
Hurt me in my pride
Who are you to judge me?
Who are you to take his side?
He cheated on me mister
Told me nothing but lies
I just had to teach him
Not to overstep the line
Stracci don't cry for Louis
He wouldn't waste a tear on you
When you walk the streets for Louis
You ain't walking down no avenue
I met Louis on an early morning
In a sleazy part of town
I was tipsy and feeling kind'a lonely
Louis offered me his arm
He said: you and I we'll burn this town
He said: you and I we'll burn this town





Thank you, ladies and gentlemen, thank you





You're a fantastic audience!





Thank you so much! Thank y...

*BANG*

Andres fell down, a bullet in his head marking the end to his musical extravaganza with a .38 caliber grace note. Muldoon seemed happy to oblige Louis again, but the Committee was surprisingly dismayed by the sudden end to the entertainment. Some even shouted their dismay!

"Enough of this! What's wrong with you townspeople? This was a dirty mafia scumbag, yet you all love him?"

Louis rolled his eyes in disgust.

"I handed you the Stracchis on a platter and you barely vote for their lead killer over me? You are NOT getting it people. Wake up!"

"Here, maybe you can knock some sense into them," said Louis, handing the gavel to JimBob.

"Kill him!" several in the crowd yelled, "Kill the director!"

"Fools!" the director yelled at them. "Idiots! He was a natural born killer! A danger for this town! Gah! How could you still even have considered to let him live?"

The cursing director had to be escorted by his bodyguards to a safe spot, the charged up and semi-irrational crowd still yelling and screaming for his blood and arguing over who would be lynched next.

It would clearly be another restful night...


...not.
