A man was walking down the street with a briefcase in hand. It was a nice, warm, peaceful day. He had just moved to Peach Creek from Indiana with his wife. He loved his life. Everything was going smoothly, he was a Biochemist, had a wife, and was planning on having a kid soon. This was his dream life. Everything was going fine and dandy. That is, until today. While passing by the local shops he stopped to look in the window of a candy store. He looked in and noticed a particularly good looking candy. He decided why not and went into the candy store. He took the candy and gave the store clerk fifteen cents, the cost of the candy. He opened the wrapper and put it in his mouth. It was a nice piece of candy; he enjoyed the sour apple taste of it. As he started to walk he heard somebody whisper into his ear.
"See you in hell."
He felt a bullet fly into his throat, puncturing his jugular vein. He collapsed to the floor as blood poured out of his body. Before he passed, he felt another bullet go right through his torso and out by his abdomen. He closed his eyes before he died. He thought to himself, Why me? That was his last though before he no longer existed. The killer stripped the man of hisclothes. After he did that, he pulled out all his teeth and cut off his fingers to ensure he could not be identified. The killer then walked away whistling a fine little tune.
A gunshot rang out in the Cul-de-Sac loud, piercing the inhabitants' ears. Sarah, Jimmy, and Ed ran outside of their house after hearing the noise to see what it was. Rolf, Kevin, and Nazz then walked out of Kevin's house, Edd and Eddy walked out of Edd's house, and Johnny walked out of the park and met up in where the street was circular.
"What the heck was that?!" Sarah asked and yelled at the same time. She had such an abrasive personality.
"I'm not sure," Edd replied. "It sounded like a gunshot or explosion of some sort." Edd was the genius in the Cul-de-Sac and wasn't afraid for people to know that.
"Where do you think it came from?" Nazz added in. Nazz was slow and not the brightest, but the love interest of the boys.
"It sounds like it came from the candy store," said Eddy. Eddy isn't very smart, but is famous for trying to scam the kids out of their money so he could buy jawbreakers.
"Sarah I'm scared," Jimmy said to Sarah. Jimmy was the biggest coward of the Cul-de-Sac kids.
"C'mon lets go check it out!" Kevin said. Kevin was the jock who often took control and led the kids.
The kids walked in a 3x3 line towards the area in which the gunshot originated. They arrived there in about five minutes, which wasn't much time at all. By the time they got there, there was already homicide investigators and yellow tape all over the crime scene. They saw a naked body of an older man who was bloody, and had neither fingers nor teeth. The kids were nauseated by the sight, except for Ed that is. Jimmy even vomited at the ghastly sight. Edd approached one of the police offices.
"Um, excuse me sir what is going on?" Edd asked. He was horrified and his body was shaking rapidly.
"There was a murder. This man was just walking along and he was shot twice. We can't identify the body though. Do you know anything of this?" the man asked Edd.
"Not at all. Thank you sir."
Edd walked back to the group and reported what had happened. The kids all gasped at the news. Edd had noticed that more and more people were arriving to look at the gruesome scene. Then out of nowhere a loud sobbing noise was heard. It was a woman. She was about thirty to thirty-five years old. She had medium length blonde hair and was wearing a pleasant white dress.
"Oh my god! Not Will!" She sobbed. She was next to his body crying intensely. You could only assume it was her husband. One of the homicide detectives walked towards her and put his hand on her shoulder.
"Do you know this man?" he asked.
"It's my husband," she replied.
The kids gasped once more to here this updated news. Then most of them got bored and left. Edd still stood there though. Ed and Eddy were walking away when they noticed Edd wasn't moving.
"Hey Sock head ya coming?" Eddy yelled to Edd.
Edd just stood there, motionless. He wouldn't speak or anything. Edd then looked and noticed a conspicuous looking man. The man looked young, maybe only twenty years old. He had long black hair that reached his shoulders. He was wearing all black clothing under his beige overcoat. The man took notice to Edd staring at him and walked away. Edd looked closely at the man, hoping to recognize him, but he had no luck. Then when he was about to give up he noticed one thing. Blood. The man had blood on his coat. Just a small spec, but that's good enough evidence for most people. The man noticed that Edd had noticed that he had blood on his coat. He cursed under his breath. There was only one option. The man pulled out his .45 revolver. He aimed it at Edd and started to squeeze the trigger.
