1 hour later... and no sign of an assassin.
Down on the theatre one of the actors spoke.
"Don't know the manners of good society, eh? Well, I guess I know enough to turn you inside out, old gal -- you sockdologizing old man-trap." The line was immediatley followed by bellows of laughter. It was nearly deafening. Then, it happened...
Through the laughter, nobody noticed the spray of blood, no one noticed the president slump his head backwards. Except Sykes and Luis. The immediatley drew their revolvers, scanning the area for the assassin. They could not see him.
Seconds later, Major Henry Rathbone jumped from his chair, saw the two heroes with their guns drawn. He immediatley ran in and tackled them both.
As Henry Rathbone struggled to keep both men under control he waited for the laughter to die down. Then there were screams. Moments later the presidential room was filled with guards, they effortlessly pinned down Sykes and Luis. It was game over for them.
Akonting Jim stood by the stage exit, smirking. He lowered his Sniper Rifle and dropped it in the shadows. It had been a success. When he was young, his parents had told him all about his ancestor who was brutally murdered by a decendant of Luis. In a castle in Languedoc, the evil beer loving knight Sir Lewis had murdered Sir Banjo for his treasure. Akonting Jim had always wanted revenge. He had paid good money to be taken on a slave ship to the new world, and tracked Luis down to a ranch in Colorado. Akonting Jim was happy that Luis had chosen to guard Lincoln's box, as he could frame him with the Sniper Rifle.
Akonting Jim kicked the stage door open where he saw the young man he had paid to guard a horse. He lunged at the young man pushing him down in the mud, then mounted the horse and rode off into the night.
Three days later, Senor LuisD and Jefferson Sykes were hung for the murder of Abraham Lincoln.Roonmastor and Memento Mori escaped the theatre with the crowd and remained uninvolved with the investigation. Using the gold they had aquired they bought their freedom. Roonmastor returned to his costal hometown Marinha Grande where he kicked Fernando Fernandez's ass and fingered his pies. Memento Mori returned to Venice to find Desdemonas father had been killed in a swimming accident. They both got married and had beautiful children.
Akonting Jim, the treacherous swine, rode the american west eventually using his money to join a notorious train robbing gang led by Jesse James. He became very rich and eventually left the group to grow old with the naked ladies he bought. He died in 1902.
