Lynch Scene Day 2
Three of the town stalwarts were gone. Bantam weighed heavily on the towns conscience and especially their treatment of his wife. She had been more or less banished for no other reason than to cover their guilt. Archer was a mystery to them. Like Bantam he had been popular and several had borrowed the use of his muscle to get them out of tight spots over the years. Why him, but most baffling of all. H8, he was one of them. Born and bred in the town and a traitor. This was unthinkable. Answer weren’t only wanted but needed. This wasn’t helped by the disappearance of the Reverend, who like Bantams wife had not been seen since the day of the lynching.
Now wasn’t the time to be on the fringes of town ,especially if you were identified as a bit of a loner, or in town terms a “weirdo”. Somebody definitely fitted that bill and that someone also showed , along with others, scorch marks from last nights fire. While some had burn marks on their hands, others without eyebrows and another had appeared absolutely bald having supported a full quiff the night before there was one difference. All were placed well and truly at the scene of the crash pulling H8 from the wreckage. At least four swore blind that “weirdo” was no place to be seen, either before during or after. No explanation was asked for . Mob rule ensued and for the second time Bantams Uncles crane was put to use for which it was never intended.
