John bolts out the trailer as soon as the two corrupt cops leave. He finds Bonnie and fills her in on what he found.

"By Celestia, this is worse than I thought," says Bonnie.

John and Bonnie run back to town while Bonnie contacts the state investigator. John opens another bag of chips and frantically starts eating.

"I can't believe it! You could STILL eat even after all this!" Bonnies exclaims.

As his heart swelled with immense patriotism, John turns into an American flag. Both Bonnie and the cashier look at him with amazement.

Happy 4th of July, America. Let freedom ring!

The sky was a delicate shade of rose as the sun sets and the moon begins to rise. John and Bonnie sat on the sandy ground, watching the beautiful event. Bonnie looks over to John. His eyebrows were furrowed as he stared at the ground.

"What's the matter, John?" Bonnie asked him.

"Well, I guess we missed the convention," John replied.

Bonnie smiles. "They've extended the convention to three days now, remember?"

"Really?" John said excitedly as his eyes lit up. "That's awesome!"

Bonnie chuckles. "Yep, it sure is."

The End.

Suddenly, the glass shatters as a barrage of bullets scatters in every direction, smashing and breaking tables and chairs, then finally burying itself deep within the walls. The deputies frantically duck for cover from the onslaught of lead.

As quickly as it began, the gunfire stops. "HEY, BALLERINA!" it was Gadsden. "Get out of there while you can! I'll cover ya!"

The sound of a bolt clicking backwards indicates that Gadsden has loaded a fresh magazine and is about to resume fire. John crawls slowly to the entrance as Gadsden unleashes more suppressive fire into the store.

Not wanting another injury like that, John decides to walk down the stairs - carefully. John takes in his surroundings as he enters the room. The walls were olive drab, with two flags hanging from them. Two large metal tables were placed around the wall. One had a radio and map on it. The other had a shotgun, taken apart as if it was being cleaned.

The thematic drumming stops abruptly. The sound of a gun cocking raises the hairs on John's back. "Hold it right there, pal..." said a voice behind John. John slowly brings his hooves up.

John enters the Banana Shoppe alone. He stood there, waiting for a while. Suddenly, the sound of a gun clicking startles him. He turns around. It was the state investigator.

"Boy, didn't your mama ever tell'ye not to stick your snout where it don't belong?" The investigator said gruffly. "You should've just left this well alone."

It didn't make sense. How was the state investigator corrupt too? It must... it must be - the $10,000. $10,000 was given to the state investigator to keep quiet. Jimmy didn't know about this, so when he went to the investigator for help...

"I can see them gears turnin' in yer head," the investigator said with a chuckle. "That's right, I'm the one who killed Jimmy yesserday. And you're next."

John checks the chamber of the rifle to see if it's loaded. It's Empty. Carefully, John removes the note sticking out the barrel. Something was written on it:

"Hello, John. I'd like to play a game-"

Haha, Just kidding. Here's what it really said:

"I PUT THEM IN THE WALLS!" Under it was a drawn image of a set of scope crosshairs.

NO! Bad John! Get away from the rifle!
