Chapter 5: Ghosted

The following morning in the town square that Edna Jameson and her religious nutcase followers were out protesting against the metal festival that is a few days ago. Everyone was annoyed and avoiding them like a plague. The boys were walking by the annoyed crowd who were coming from the Tweak Brothers coffee shop for their morning kick and breakfast.

"I am religious, but these Christian nationalists' freaks makes me to question about my religion and beliefs more?" the black haired hipster townsman one murmured under his breath with great disgust.

"These nutcases are afraid of losing power, money and control." The red hair hipster chick one replied as she had slipped on her soy latte.

"Boy, Burnt Martyr had stirred them up big time." Another hipster male added, as he walks by them.

"Project 2025 is their blueprint." The black haired hipster reminded the other hipsters who are sitting outside.

"Oh, look like that I have to buy some colonel and Thai food to leave a present for Mrs. Jameson again." Cartman spoke that he is tired of this bitch and her hypocrisy filled bullshit.

"Dude, PC principal had went off her yesterday for guilt tripping kids into getting a bible with a fear of going to hell." Kyle added.

"Dude, that religious bitch don't scared me of going to hell that I had been to both Heaven and hell." Kenny said, as he was standing there rolling his eyes at them. Stan was staying quiet during the entire rabbling that his father made him and Shelly worked on pot items to sell at the festival.

Mayor McDaniels was sitting in the passenger's seat in Alex's squad car in the local Tom Barton's drive thru to get her mocha latte, breakfast sandwich that she had a favor in to her son that she had left her suv at home that she is over exhausted with dealing with Edna and her minions at this point of time. She also brought Alex some breakfast.

"I will be staying at the station in BarBrady's office for all day long that I need to do the yearly budget." McDaniels sighed heavily that she was so over the Devilgate bullshit. "This bullshit reminds me of the 70s and 80s when I was growing up that devil was the scapegoat. Heavy metal was becoming big which it was considered as devil's music to these schmucks."

"Proud to be a maker of devil's music, mother." Alex sarcastic replied to her that he remembers the 90's that he loves Marilyn Manson and the shit that Manson was getting by the religious nutcases.

"You are such a smart ass, Alexander Preston McDaniels that I see that you have my sarcasm." McDaniels added with a little naughty smile appeared on her ruby red thin lips.

Cut to South Park Elem School teacher lounge that PC principal and Strong Woman had called on an emergency faulty meeting. Everyone was silently giving Garrison a dark glare. Blaze was sitting at the table taking notes for the meeting.

"Rabble! Rabble! Rabble!" Teachers shouting angrily

"Why is everyone looking at me that you guys wants to kill me?" Garrison questioned loudly that he isn't be around them.

"Because of your idiotic religious followers are guilt tripping us by fear mongering us of going to hell." Mr. Alder angrily snapped back. It threw Garrison back by great shock.

"They are pushing project 2025, which it is not better compared to communism and fascism that my military oath, which I had sworn to protect against." Coach Miles added, as he had angrily pointed his finger at Garrison who was hiding behind his secret agent." It is your fucking fault, Garrison!"

"Oh jeez!" Garrison was trembling with great fear coming from a very angry ex-military guy who is currently fuming right now.

"Stop it now!" PC principal shouted at the loud of his lungs that everyone had stopped in their tracks and became silent. He was looking at the strong woman for some support at that moment. All of the kids are starting to pile into the building that all of the staff looks at the clock and ran out to do their pre class duties. All of the kids were chatting about the metal festival as they were walking in and heading for their lockers.

"I hope that this festival will be a never ending Cradle of Filth concert on steroids." Pete said as he walks by and flicks his long fringe out of his eyes.

"Their new album, The Age of the Apocalypse is fucking amazing." Michael added with delight as they were walking through the crowded hallway.

"The gothic symphonic take is a nice touch to Burnt Martyr's musical growth." Henrietta spoke that she loves the female vocals and symphonic music added to the band.

"Do we have to be in school today that I will be rather in the cemetery listening to that album again?" Firkle asked with annoyed tone voice, while he was getting bumped into, during the standstill in the hallway.

Later on that day, cut to the Police station inside BarBrady's private office that Mayor McDaniels was hiding out in his office to avoid people and doing her paperwork at his paperwork. BarBrady was out on his road patrol to give her some space to work on her paperwork and cleared her mind. Edna Jameson and her religious extremist minions had been stressing her out lately. She had set her phone to don't disturb that she doesn't want to be bothered at all. She had signed orders and permits for the upcoming festival that she was hoping for a little tourism boost for the town. After revamping the Stark Pond Park that tourism is starting to pick up, due to camping sites, fishing docks, swimming area and hiking trails that Covid had almost brought the town down to its knees.

"Finally, I have some peace and quiet to get some work done." McDaniels had thought to herself loudly, as she had leaned back in her lover's chair for a moment. All sudden that she had begins to panic when someone tries to open the office door up. Then all sudden that she had realize that it was only BarBrady returning for his lunch hour that he had brought lunch for them from the local deli.

"Oh jeez that it is very hot outside today, Mary." BarBrady announced as he came into the office with the food bag. She had kissed him on his cheek. "Why hello there beautiful?" They walk over to the small meeting table to have some lunch. She has her toasted chicken club sub, cucumber salad, and green tea and ranch kettle chips. BarBrady had ordered his toasted Italian sub, Cole slaw and pill pickle flavored kettle chips and dr. peppery.
