“Well, then,” A voice out of nowhere said. “I’ll run him out again.” They turned around and it was the mayor of Riverside Hills, Mayor Sneddon, in his usual gray suit and eyeglasses.
“Ekk! He gets more and more ugly, fat and bald every time I see him.” Casey whispers to Mason and Kyle. They took a step behind every time Mayor Sneddon walked towards them.
“Did I tell you brats to stay away from here?” He said in his scratchy, nasal voice.
“Didn’t your mama tell you not to call kids brats?” Kyle said as Mayor Sneddon‘s nostrils flared. He threatened them,
“Don’t let things get ugly.”
“Why, your mama’s coming?” Casey muttered under her breath as Kyle and Mason snickered. “Like I said, don’t make this worse when what it is.”
The final hand reached on the clock as it was midnight. “What the…?!” Mayor Sneddon stuttered.
The doors mysteriously open and it was someone in a dark cape and hoodies and walks towards them and took off the hood and it was,
“The Maestro!”
The Maestro gave the mayor a cunning smile. “Did I scare you?” The gang nods their heads, but Mayor Sneddon just stood there.
“You didn’t scare me! Maybe you scared those brats, but you didn't scare me.”
“Well, that’s too bad, isn't it. Looks like I have to try harder next time.” He places the cape on the luxurious couch.
“There’ll never be a next time. Or never”
The Maestro turns his seat around and watched the fire glow as he asked,
“Really? And why is that?”
“Didn’t I run you out years ago? Besides, the people here want nothing to do with freaks like you.”
“Really?” The Maestro asked.
“Really.”
The Maestro turns his seat around and stares directly at the mayor, raising his eyebrow as Mayor Sneddon continued to rant.
“You’re weird, strange and I don’t like you.”
Kyle mutters under his breath, “Nobody likes you.” Mason and Casey agreed with him on that statement.
“You live in this house all alone, like the freak you are. Why don’t you be a good little freak and go back to the circus where you belong? And do yourself a favor, okay? Don’t make me hurt you, because I will if I have to.” The gang looked at the Maestro with worry, but didn’t offer an objection.
The Maestro took a deep breath and started to laugh. “You are trying to scare me. Then I have no choice; guess I have to scare you… out of this town. And besides, I‘m not alone.”
The Mayor laughed. “You? Scare me?” The Maestro courageous said,
“Yes. If I scare you, leave town…for good.”
Kyle said under his breath, “That’ll make my day and Halloween.” Casey and Mason nodded their heads.
He folds his arms. “You can’t scare me.”
The Maestro raises his eyebrows. “Oh no? And by the way, did I tell you I wasn’t alone?” He lets out a sinister grin. He magically opens the doors from his left and right. “Meet the family.”
