NIGHT 0 END"That's the last of them," the federal officer said as he slammed the door to the truck, carrying several criminals. His partner grunted. "Some weather we're having, eh? Summer isn't even over and I can see my breath." he continued as his partner started up the truck. It was making out to be a humid, foggy day, the chill from the night before still hung in the dawn air, twilight was barely on the horizon. His partner grunted again as they passed the last security checkpoint. They drove down a deserted road in silence. "You don't say much, do you?"
"I'm watching the road. Can't see a damn thing in this fog," his partner said gruffly. That shut him up. The freeway was no better and the men relaxed once they took the last exit towards Lilville. "Almost there," he grumbled, probably more for his own sake than for the other's sake. "The worst part is about to come; there's a bridge up here and I bet it's iced up due to all this." A cat flew out in front of them. His nerves taking over, the federal officer jerked the steering wheel to avoid the cat, hitting a rock and sending the car careening into the shoulder.
The front of the car smashed and the side seriously dented, he radios the county jail. "They'll be here in twenty minutes. Best check on the prisoners." He stares at the other officer, who scowls and gets out of the truck, walking around the vehicle to the back. The door is ajar; it looked like the truck had taken more structural damage than they had thought and busted the lock. The federal officer places his hand on the gun strapped around his hips and throws the door open. The prisoners are gone.
"Surprise," a vicious voice says behind him. He tries to manuveur but is quickly over powered as several of the criminals hold him down and another retrieves the gun from his side. He shoots him quickly in the head, and the criminals make their way to the other officer.
By the time Lilville County Police respond to the call, the criminals are gone, and the federal officers have been dead for an hour. Mayor lil-Inferno, who had ordered the arrest, and his secretary Mitt Romney are found dead the following morning, with the Mafia scattering around the town and donning new identities.
