What's Going On In Your Head?
Lou...dead?
The words bounced around my head.
I couldn't comprehend what Brody had said.
Petra was in her shop.
Throwing things at random
She wouldn't stop.
"Petra, please?"
Past my head flew a set of keys.
But Petra, she began to sob.
Into my arms, she flew.
I knew what I had to do.
I held her and stroked her hair.
My mind still hadn't gotten there.
Lou dead?
It couldn't be.
But there were tears
on the face of Brody.
It began to sink in.
The Lou I loved is no more.
I felt the tears threaten to pour.
Only the feel of Petra by my side
kept me from crying; not pride.
I buried my face in her hair,
knowing at this moment she wouldn't care.
My thoughts went to Bruce,
somewhere out there.
Did he know Lou was dead?
Did he care?
"I hope they all hang!
Each and every one.
For the pain they caused the family
for the things that they have done.
Tulalah got off easy
if you ask me!
Stabbed in the back
In the heart that she lacked!
She couldn't possibly feel enough pain!"
The way Petra was talking
it was insane.
Here I thought she was upset about Lou
But I tried to think of all she's been through.
Since the casino opened it's been an emotional ride.
"You can make that happen can't you Buck?"
Her hatred she couldn't hide.
"Make what happen?
I was afraid to ask."
"To make certain they hang."
She said was the task.
"You are the law after all."
