The town of Winterville was once a joyous place. With many people living in unity, and a surprising friendliness of all, it was just a place you had to be.

But the fun of this town was short-lived. A renewed communist army had declared conquer upon the town and it soon fell into deep despair.

Viera Totolage, a mastermind behind the overtake of what was a beautiful site had taken part in the small government of Winterville as communist leader of town. All aspects of the 1st amendment were ignored. As well, the union's 2nd amendment was also given a cold shoulder when the town proclaimed only communist military troops to bear any firearms.

An amazing town that used to boast at an even 35,000 population was now dead in any activity with only 100 residents, most of whom are part of the communist enforcement.

But nobody could foresee a prophecy of this town's savior, not even the savior himself. For all he knew, he just wanted to move in to town after seeing an outdated ad for the site. None did he know of what lay ahead of him.

"So, where ye be heading, young lad?" said a truly seaworthy voice. Startled, our future savior had never even noticed the driver; he was too busy reading something. And that something would be a pamphlet for Winterville, which gloated an amusement park, hockey rinks, a completed museum, and the friendliest government in the region, as stated by an official federal award.

He ignored the driver and kept on reading. "Yar har har, what be your name, boy?" The passenger looked up. "My name is Dan… and I'm going to Winterville." Not paying attention, the driver mumbled "Alright wee Dan, I'll take you to Wintervi—" Suddenly the car came to a halt, and the driver cocked his head to proceed in staring blankly at Dan. In utter shock, he yelled "Boy, I can't take you to Winterville! Do you have worms in your brain?"

Dan, unknowingly, gave a funny look at the driver. "What's so bad about Winter—" but before he could finish his question, the car zoomed down the road at a blazing fast 80 mph, regardless of the 55 mph speed limit.

"What are you doing?" Dan gasped as he was flung back into the seat by the sudden velocity change. Over about an hour period of time, Dan repeated himself at steady intervals, but no matter what, the driver stared down the road with complete ignorance and an indifferent look on his face.

Dan had almost fell asleep when the car screeched and before he could look around, the turtle driver opened Dan's door and pushed him out onto stones, quickly speeding away.

"Wait!" Dan yelled. "What the hell was that for? Come back!" Too late, the car was out of sight by then. Dan, very annoyed, looked around. There were a lot of animals outside having fun. "Guess this is Winterville."

He raced up to the first animal he saw, a cute and simple, friendly-looking cat. Dan got her attention by tapping her shoulder.

"Hello, welcome to the neighborhood. My name is Mitzi," said the cat with a smile. "So, which friend are you visiting?"

Dan smiled at how friendly the cat was. He wasn't a very social person, but he went along and said "I'm not visiting, I'm moving here." Mitzi looked a bit stunned after this. "Well, that's very strange, the mayor always informs us when there will be someone new. But still, I think we can become the best of friends, so enjoy your time here."

Dan was even more satisfied with the town than he thought he would be. He was already informed that he would need to ask the town hall where his new house would be located. He looked around for the town hall, but his look wasn't very long, it was right in front of him.

He brushed some dirt off his trousers and entered the building. There, he saw another friendly looking face, this time a pelican, who was sorting out a pile of mail at her desk. Dan went up to her and got her attention.

"Hello, my name is Pelly, welcome to the Raptorton Town Hall, what can I do for you?" smiled the pelican. "Yeah, hello, I'd like to see the lo--" Thunderstruck, Dan caught himself. "…Raptorton…" "Yes, right now you are in Raptorton."

Dan suddenly was enraged at the driver but quickly passed it off. "Can I have public transport to Winterville please, I must have wound up here on mistake."

Suddenly, it was Pelly that was thunderstruck. She managed to gulp "Winter…ville?" She dazed off for a second and fainted right in front of Dan. "Holy crap…" Dan managed, as the old mayor, who seemed senile, popped up from his nap and kneeled down to the floor to check Pelly.

The mayor muttered, "She's unconscious." Suddenly, Dan was being yelled at by the man, "What the hecker did you do to the poor lady!"

Feeling guilty and outsmarted, Dan ran out of the building and started sprinting aimlessly through the town until he ran into the town gate. He managed to stop himself there and started trying to pry the big gate open. Booker was asleep but Copper, wide awake, retaliated.

"Whoah," Copper yelled, "Stop it, stop it, now!" But Dan wasn't apprehended. He pulled the door outward and squeezed through before Copper could snatch him. He sprinted out running down the path just looking for some kind of refuge.

He risked a quick look over his shoulder, and saw Copper running down towards him. Worse, Copper was gaining on him.

Copper clearly had much more stamina because gradually, Dan was losing speed. It had only been about 3 minutes, and the gap between was only about 5 feet. Dan took a chance, and picked up a stick of wood on the ground, quickly turning around and flailing it like a bat, hoping to stop Copper.

The attack was anything but effective. Dan winced in shock when he saw Copper had deflected it with his baton. Neither of them were running. It was as if time had freezed for a few seconds. Copper, unaware, quickly moved his baton and tried a hit to the head on Dan, but Dan skillfully ducked and somersaulted backwards.

Copper brandished a pistol, and Dan, scared as ever, took cover behind a large rock. "I really do not want to use this, but we need to return to Raptorton, we have to make the assumption you are illegally immigrating."

Copper was startled by the "NO!" that Dan produced as he ran off down the path

The cop was almost blinded by the moonlight as he pointed up his gun. Then he did what Dan thought he didn't have the heart to do. He pulled the trigger.

BANG!

A sudden pain so strong emerged in Dan's leg. He had been shot, right in the ankle. He doubled over suddenly and dropped to the ground to close his eyes.

Copper, feeling partly guilty and partly triumphant, stuck his gun and baton in their holsters, took a deep breath, and started walking back to Raptorton.

"This is why I joined the force."
