[size=+2]Mafia - DAY 2[/size]
Last night, while most of the town slept, Officer
unixgeek13 was walking the beat, keeping an eye out for any suspicious activity around town. For a long time, all was quiet, except around the casino. unixgeek13 expected there might be trouble there, so he stayed around for quite some time, but nothing untoward occurred.
Thinking he had better check some of the other areas of town, he took a walk across the street. Briefly, he glanced at the colourful posters in the window of the travel agency, thinking that he needed a holiday. Moving on, he ambled down the street past the Town Hall, swinging his night stick.
He passed the Village Idiot, who was lying still as death on the bench near the town square. But unixgeek could see him breathing. The cop moved on.
Turning the corner, he passed the gun shop. All was quiet there, too. Across the street, there were lights in the newpaper office - the next day's edition was in preparation. It was 1.30 am.
Suddenly, unixgeek heard the roar of a car engine. Turning, he saw a large black car screeching as it rounded the corner from the square. He wanted to get that car's number - the driver was driving like a maniac. It was good, he thought, because the car was going to go right past him.
As the car drew level, a hail of bullets issued from the rear window. Unsuspecting, unixgeek13 had nowhere to hide. He was cut down, his body left as a bloody mess, ironically right in front of the gun shop. He lay on the pavement, unconscious.
Luckily, he was noticed. The alarm was raised and an ambulance called. unixgeek13 was rushed to hospital. The question is: will the Doctor be able to save him?
If the Doctor intervenes, perhaps Officer unixgeek13 will live. If not, he will surely die. He rests in hospital in a critical condition.
-----------
unixgeek13 may NOT post in this thread or take any further active part in the game unless and until the Doctor chooses to save him (Doctor: post in this thread in bold). In other words, unixgeek13, unless you see a message from Enmos in bold saying "Emergency surgery for unixgeek13", you can take no further part in this game. If such a message is posted, you may begin to post again.
----------
It is now DAY 2, and all players may talk and vote for today's arrest.
