Sister Villager #1 female) Oh yeah, I know where he's at, but why does that matter to you?
We need to ask him some questions about the murder of Mayor Ray. He was suspected to possibly have some knowledge of what might have transpired.
Sister Villager #2 male) It's not your business to do an investigation with our vice mayor, Christopher. He might have done us a favor by removing Ray from his post.
Ray's daughter ) How could you say that? What if that was one of your family members?
Sister Villager #2 male) Just look at what he's done to you. Ever since he became mayor, you turned into a spoiled little brat. She is entirely ignorant of what's happening and the world around her. This isn't murder. This is diplomacy. And after all the help we've gotten, and still don't even have our homes back, the way makers and the chief of the other Village should leave. Let us handle our own affairs.
I could see that Micah couldn't hold back her emotion. The more the male villagers spoke, the redder her face got.
Look, I've lived through the same situation as you. I come from a small neighborhood that is a part of the suburbs of the central city. For many years, gangsters and thugs threatened our way of life, including killing my cousin, who was a sweet, innocent child. And then, once we started to move on with our lives, our governor took an interest in the growing community and businesses in the area and has been plotting to push some of the middle-class and poor people out of the city so they could take over and bring wealthier people in. It's pretty much a move-up or move-out kind of situation.
We are doing everything in our power to get your homes back, and we're really close to figuring out how to fix this. If the bandits are the ones who have been luring in the demons to both our village and yours, and they own the construction company that's building your homes, this whole condition that you people have been enduring is pointless.
"How about this?" Cailian spoke. We'll do what we did the last time and leave it up to the village people you want us to leave, and you guys handle your own affairs. You can vote. For those who want us to stay and finish the investigation, the same rule applies to voting. As we all have already acknowledged, your people are being enslaved, pushed out, and harassed.
Ray's daughter) "Let's make this a vote of hands. You will raise your hands based on the vote you wish to cast."
"That sounds fair." Cailian agreed." all who vote for us to further our investigation and possible arrest of Vice Mayor Columbus, raise your hand.
The vote for continuing the investigation was won by a landslide. Almost 70% of the remaining Villagers favored us and hoped to get their homes back.
Sister Villager #2 Male) Oh, come on, people! If Columbus really is at fault for Ray's death, he would be doing us a favor, and given that he's our vice mayor. What is our plan B for having someone in charge of our village? Did you idiots ever think about that? You people cannot lead yourself out of a paper bag.
- Micah did a Spinning Back Kick to the male villagers' heads, knocking them out.
"I'm sorry," Micah said. I was doing everyone a favor here by knocking that guy out.
Baby rubbed her head. You know, violence is not always the answer. I can't say I blame you for this moment, though. Baby chuckled.
- The Village People looked at the guy who passed out on the floor and nodded their head.
Ray's daughter ) Now that we got that out of the way. I personally will take you to Columbus. There is no way I will let him get away with my father's death.
Micah, I walked up to Ray's daughter and grasped both of her hands. I promise you we won't let him get away with this. They said, "I would like to know what your name is."
"My name is Matilda. And I know I was a bit of a brat before, but thank you for saving me. And thank you for helping me now. Columbus will be at his job site today. He should be finishing up one other house. Just follow me."
- Only a few workers once the group arrived at the job site.
Micah approached one of the workers and asked if Columbus was anywhere to be found.
Sister Village construction worker ): "Yeah, he came into work late today. He's inside the house right now," he said while pointing to the building at the end of the road.
Micah marched right down to the house. Sure, he ripped open the door. I made eye contact with Columbus. She looked at his name tag on his vest; it read Columbus.
"So you're the one that killed Matilda's father," I said as she grabbed the collar of his vest.
"No, I have no clue what's going on. I've been at work all day." He tried to put on a front until he saw Becky and me.
"Damn it, it's you too again. I thought I shook you off my tail. I guess I will have to exterminate you to keep things quiet." He said as he slowly started to transform into the bull.
"What are we doing?" Becky asked Baby. He is still half human, so we can't execute him like we did the demons."
