The FBI task force had arrived at the location of the bar and fuel station where there were police tape around the area with shaken witnesses being questioned by the nearest police. Misty, Marv and Martin got out and looked at the sight around them. "Fuck... Looks like a militia had hit this place..." as Martin was going up to the police cape to go underneath it but ended up getting stuck to it. "You have gotta be kidding me..." Misty sighed as she then went to help Martin get unstuck.

"Excuse me; this is a closed off crime scene. I am warning you to leave right now!" one of the officers then shouted out coming over with officer following him.

"Leave this to the big boys Soap..." Marv said pushing Martin to the side as he showed off his FBI badge to the officer. "Agent Marv Brown and I am taking over this investigation as it's possibly related to a case that me and my crew are conducting." Marv explained as the other FBI agents present came over and the lead officer reluctantly allowed them under the police tape as they saw the crime scene photographers taking pictures with so many corpses with sheets over them. "So... What can you tell me about how this went down?" Marv asked the lead officer.

"A man came in and started demanding to see Marcus... He's from my town... Ennistown and a popular guy... Bodybuilder and coaches the high school's football team... A bit possessive off his wife but a great guy... Marcus comes here a lot and brings his woman to keep an eye on her. The stranger demands that Marcus lay his hands off his woman... The fight started with Marcus and his friends... It was a massacre..." the lead officer sighed with an officer coming up to show sketches of Castle and Microchip's faces. "We got these from eyewitness accounts of the stranger and the fat slob who drove the black van that he came here in and escaped out of..." the lead officer explained as Misty and Marv snatched them.

"Clean shaven but it's him... My god... Castle was here... He caused this... Not bad for a 53 year old man..." Misty muttered as the lead officer raised his eyebrow.

"Castle?" he questioned as Martin came up.

"Vigilante known as the Punisher... We are tracking him down as he escaped from..." Martin said before Marv shoved the sketch of Microchip to Martin.

"Make yourself useful Soap and start seeing about any matches to this sketch; we need to find whatever we can about any accomplices that he has." Marv then ordered as Martin then walked away. "Can I get the autopsy reports when you are done? That's not a suggestion; I might add..." Marv then said as the lead officer then pointed out of the attempted getaway car.

"Some are impossible to get... Marcus was led to that car by one of his friends... Stranger blew it up with a rocket launcher..." the lead officer then explained as the FBI agents took this in.

"Holy Jesus fucking Christ..." muttered one of the agents.

"The bastard clearly doesn't believe there's any such a thing as overkill..." muttered another.

"If it wasn't evidence enough trying to blow up Fisk's home to get to him..." muttered another.

"Looks like if anything he's become more ruthless and dangerous... Who knows who will get hurt next time that he pulls a stunt like this..." Misty then said and then looked to the lead officer. "We want details of the closest town..." Misty then ordered as the lead officer then nodded.

"Yes mam but I need to do something first..." the lead officer then said as he got his phone out and went to a corner. He quickly texted someone:

CASTLE IS COMING TO THE TOWN IN A BLACK VAN.

Inside a fancy diner there was a black haired aged woman meeting up with an aged grey haired man. "Mrs Gnucci... Always a pleasure..." the man said as he had Fisk coming up to follow him with a black suit.

"I wish I could say the same about your boys creeping onto my territory." Gnucci replied as they sat down at a table. "Can I expect you to sternly remind your men to respect the invisible lines before things get messy Don?" Gnucci asked politely to Don Rigoletto as he looked more serious.

"With all respect to your family... I think that some of your territory could deal with a change in leadership?" Rigoletto said as Gnucci shook her head.

"For the last year you have been failing to stop a man with a skull on his chest; you think any of my turf should fall to you?" Gnucci asked as Rigoletto and Fisk looked cross. "If any of my people were hired to take care of a family: there would be no survivors. Because they can get the job done." Gnucci said as Fisk looked angry by Rigoletto held him high. "You know I am open to a compromise... Combining our territories... My favourite son Eddie to your daughter... Work to mould him into the heir of the underworld here in New York..." Gnucci said as two men came in a shocked state.

"Ma! Castle was at the trafficking operation... All the girls got loose..." they shouted out in panic as Rigoletto then gave a side eye to Gnucci who was frustrated.

"Boys... You could wait before giving us this bad news... Send your brother to sort out the failures there..." Gnucci then said as the men had their heads down as she looked confused. "Carlo... Bobbie..." Gnucci asked uneasily.

"He arrived before Castle did... Tried to lead them all to take care of him but... Castle got to him..." Carlo explained with tears in his eye as Bobbie looked away.

Gnucci was open mouthed shocked at this; "What... No..." Gnucci said as Rigoletto put on a mock sympathetic look.

"Our condolences" Fisk then said hiding a smirk.

The Battle Van had arrived at the nearest small town of Ennistown; the police noticed the van and eyed it as they arrived. Microchip drove forward as Castle was silently on his mattress just looking at the wall. "So... The cops were looking at us oddly and... Uh Frank..." Microchip muttered as the van came to a stop and Castle then got out of the Van door and noticed the police officers standing in a line in front of the van.

"Frank Castle?" asked one of them and Castle came forward eyeing them as if daring them to make a move. "Follow us..." the officers said as Castle stepped forward carefully.

"What are you doing Frank... This is lunacy..." Microchip demanded incredulously taking Castle's arm but he snatched it away.

"Keep near me in the van..." Castle whispered to Microchip as he got to the van and slowly drove it near rank as the officers took him to some sort of old theatre building.

They motioned for the door as Castle came in and looked around the empty theatre and it looked like it was abandoned for some time. He sat down as there was a voice over some sort of intercom saying "For our special guest the Punisher... Please give a hand for Harry Heck!" said a voice as coming onto the stage was a man in a suit holding a guitar case to the microphone. There was a stool as he sat down.

"I can hear what you're thinking... All your doubts and fears..." the man Harry Heck started singing and soon he was done. "Wrote it for you if i ever got to meet you..." Heck then said as he then got out a gun and Castle got out his army knife from his pouch looking serious. "What kind of idiot brings a knife to a gun fight?" Heck asked as he started firing and Castle then pulled a table for cover and then started running and flipping tables for cover.

Heck then continued to try and fire Castle until the bullets were out. Castle took advantage of Heck having to reload and ran to the stage and knifed Heck in the gut and took the gun to fire him in the gut leaving his dying bleeding body to the ground. The curtains then opened up revealing armed man and a bed with an aged woman with no limbs on it.

"Didn't think he could finish you off... I wanted to see you again and watch you die with my own eyes... I've wanted nothing more for so long... The news that you escaped prison and now... Hearing that you came here... We had to quickly set this up on short notice... Remember me Ma Gnucci?" the woman asked with an evil grin.

Castle just shook his head.
