Chapter 3: The Scientist in the Shadows
“Jon Miller?”
The bodyguard nervously looked over his shoulder. No one was there. He shook his head and went back to polishing his shoes. He felt dismal. He hadn’t been able to defend his President from the mob, and this strange man, this scientist-doctor Urban Ranger had ‘resurrected’ him. Jon wondered if the General would trust him after his death. He sighed. This whole ordeal was wearing on his mind, making him crazed.

Nuclear Master took a note.
“Did you get that?” Presidential Candidate Vovan asked.
Nuclear Master nodded wordlessly.
Vovan beamed. “Good. Good.” He nodded. “And then, as part of my program, I will execute the leading members of MOD and banish the most ardent supporters and benefitters from the land- confiscating their property and redistributing it in a mass-campaign to eliminate poverty in the nation.”
“Are you certain the people will support this?” VP candidate Dr. Spike asked, sharpening a scalpel.

Investigating in the basement, speechwriter Joncha made an interesting discovery.
Calling upstairs for Chairperson Chaunk, Joncha waved him down and showed Chaunk what he had found.
“And it was cracked off?”
Joncha nodded.
“****.” Chaunk cursed, and turned away.

Later that day, Chaunk counted the votes and cursed again. It seemed he was the likely suspect in Jonny’s murder. He denied it vehemently, and even drew his gun, firing a few shots into the air, one of which struck MOD Party Chairman Skanky Burns in the shoulder. Skanky fell to the ground, then there was a shout and someone clubbed Chaunk over the head with a crowbar. He fell to the ground, then Rasputin calmly picked up his gun and shot him through the head.
Doctor Spike refused to treat Skanky’s wounds, but Urban Ranger was more than willing to take out some gauze from his medical kit and remove the bullet, then wrap the wound with cloth.

Meanwhile... in the W/C
“I wonder why the toilet isn’t flushing?” Gjramsey kept pushing the handle, then, giving up, went to wash his hands. No water came out. “Er....” He commented. “This isn’t good.”
Without water, they would all perish within three days.
He reported his findings to the rest of LU. Something had happened to the water main.
After hearing the news, all of LU gasped. Then G.J. added something he just remembered- “Oh and yes,” he mentioned. “We also seem to be out of toilet paper.”
The others ignored that warning.

duke o’ york found the body of his partner in the hallway next to MOD-temporary headquarters- the man’s neck cordoned off with a paper-like substance.
’Tis time to vote
