..."As Victor had been speaking to the crowd, a police lieutenant in casual
dress, alerted the bicycle patrolmen, had arrived on the scene and worked his
way over to the undercover cop. When Vic walked away the commander whispered
to the agent and then walked off a little way. The narc started fuming to
those close by about the godless, commie bastard. He then led part of the
group after Victor.
The patrolmen began to follow but the lieutenant caught their eye and
signaled them off with a movement of his head. They climbed on their bikes and
pedalled away.
The invisible protector of society led his fanatic followers up to Victor
from behind. He was grabbed and thrown down by the mob. A gun apppeared and
Vic was shot once behind the ear. There wasn't much blood.
The gun was dropped by the body and the crowd dispersed quickly. John
stood in shock and stared down at Victor.
The Lieutenant climbed in his car and drove quietly away before a sound of
a siren could be heard anywhere near the dead dreamer.
