6Bavarius woke with a startle. He had a hangover from the 3 Coors
7beers he drank last night to help him relax and his head was
8horrific with vomit and pain. Suddenly he remembered what happened
9yesterday. It was his worse case yet ever.
10

13It all started yesterday when he got a telephone call from the
14Chief. ``Bavarius I need you to go down to the arcade to investigate
15a noise complaint'' he said. ``OK'' said Bavarius.

19His head and heart pounding like a drill, Bavarius loaded a clip
20into his Barretta and fingered the safety. Nervously he went to his
21Chevy Camero and hit the ignition. He punched the gas then realized
22his car needed more gas. ``That's fine'' he thought. I have enough
23gas to make it to the arcade.

27He peeled out of his driveway and sped down the street doing 55
28miles per hour. Suddenly he arrived at the arcade. He opened the
29door and went inside expecting what he did not find. Instead he
30found what he did not expect to find. What he found was a horrific
31site.

35Blood and vomit and tears streaked the walls and the Space
36Invaders. There were kids bodies laying everywhere, torn apart and
37still bleeding blood. ``Who could do this.'' thought Bavarius. ``I am
38going to catch who did this and find out how he could do this.'' So
39he looked around.
40
41
42
43Suddenly he heard a movement. It sounded like wet vomit scraping on
44sand paper. In a flash he drew his Baratta and loaded a clip. Then
45he spun around to face the noise. ``Whoever you are, I have a Bereta
46and know how to use it, scum.'' he said.

50Suddenly he saw movement. A man or what was once a man or woman
51came dashing out from behind Missile Command. {\sc Out\ldots{} Of\ldots{}
52Credits\ldots{}!} it screeched in a slow southern drawl. ``No monster,
53you're out of life'' said Bavarius as he squeezed the trigger
54rapidly and deliberately.

58One shot to the head, two in each hand, and one in the heart for
59good measure. Also he shot the thing in the legs and nose.

63The woman howled and fell back then started licking up blood and
64vomit. It seemed to give him strength. So Bavarius emptied the rest
65of his clip into the thing's head then reloaded. He blew out her
66brains so bad that it exploded in a cloud of vomit and regret.
67She's not coming back from that, he thought to himself. Frozen with
68guilt, the man slowly began to run.

72Then he called the Chief and said ``cased closed.'' as he walked out
73to his Camarro. He tried to start it but it was out of gas so he
74walked to the gas station and bought some gas and put it in a gas
75can then walked back and filled up his car with gas.
