Then Edwin goes on to explained that when the God’s will killer murdered the abortion clinic doctor, he also admitted to killing the whore of Babylon to the news reporter Jill Roberts. Edwin point out how blind luck or maybe even a higher power has been the only thing that’s saved the God’s will killer because of how messy and unprofessional his crime scenes had been. The MS-13 street gang member’s murderer made a point to clean up any evidence of there presence from the crime scene. Edwin Storm couldn’t help to look at these event and think of the case he just worked on in the small town of Lynn in New York. The Grey family came into the town to get revenge on there brother’s killer and they ended up pushing a teenage girl into show them how ruthless she could be. Edwin Storm knew he was hiding some deep dark secrets of his own. Back when he was a boy a man named Glen Grey murdered Edwin’s father and mother.

Edwin Storm secretly took up the mantle of the Executioner and spend the last 22 years of his life secretly hunting, killing and eliminating Society of it’s most dangerous murders and killers that managed to beat the justice system or slip through the cracks. A couple of months ago the Executioner managed to track down the serial killer that calls himself the gas station killer aka Jason Grey. A member of the Grey family that Edwin hoped could open up away for him get his long awaited revenge on Glen Grey. When the Executioner managed to catches up with Jason Grey. The gas station killer was working on taking his 13th victim. Edwin watched from a distance and didn’t try to interfere with Jason Grey fun.

Then the Grey family came to Lynn looking for revenge against there brother’s killer but suddenly the group’s leader Roy Grey change there plans and wanted to recruit the blonde girl into there group. The rest of the Roy’s group didn’t agree with Roy’s plan and by dawn Cory Potts managed to have bested the group of killers. Edwin knew the God’s will killer didn’t killer the MS-13 street gang member the other night but why made it look like he did. Was a copy cat sending out a love letter with the killing. Preacher when home to get some much needed sleep after he was done talking to Jill Roberts the channel 13 television news reporter last night on the phone again. Preacher informed her about his latest killing of Miss Dean. Preacher woke up the next morning feeling like a brand new man. There was nothing better in life then fulfilling God’s work. He drove back out to the apartment building where he followed the two teenagers from the church yesterday. Preacher even managed to park in the same spot as he did the day before. Preacher wasn’t waiting long before he saw the teen girl sneaked outside a third story window again and onto the fire escape. She then lite a cigarette and made her way up the fire escape to the roof of the building. Preacher witness the blonde girl take a number of long trips to roof for her bad habit that morning. By noon Preacher begin to feel very hungry and was about to adventure off to find a bite to eat when a group of Latinos in a colorful graffiti car parked in front of him. “the lord is my Shepherd” said Preacher out loud as he begin to recite the Lord’s Prayer. Saying the prayer out loud was one of Preacher’s nervous tics that he would do anytime when he felted scared. The sighted of the MS-13 street gang being that close by did worry him a bit. God had a way of making dangerous people over look Preacher. Timmy found himself to still be irritated about the counseling session Cory had at the church yesterday. His girlfriend was mentally ill and that pastor at the church tried to fill her head with all that religious Mojo about demons. Now Cory was mad at him again and Aunt Meg a few minutes ago tried to get Cory to talk about the imaginary Jason Grey. That idea when at well as Timmy expected Cory immediately gave Timmy a dirty look of disapproval before grabbing her cigarette’s and storming back up to the roof mad at him. Once on the roof Cory fires up a Marlboro cigarette and stares down on the world. She knew Timmy’s Aunt Meg means well but Cory kept on falling back on the words of the church pastor the other day. “demon” said Cory out loud wondering if the darkness inside her and this ghostly image of Jason Grey that she sees several times a day could be a demon. “speak of the devil” said Jason Grey now standing on the ledge of the building. “that pastor from the local church is parked across the street from the apartment complex” “damn it” said Cory feeling her frustration built. She figured that the pastor was probably hear for a follow up over there counseling session they had yesterday. But Cory also felted the fight between her and Timmy would most likely start back up. Cory puffed on her cigarette and notices the street gang was also parked in front but that been a normal thing since the first day her and Timmy got here. Cory found herself admiring the bravery of the church pastor being parked so close to the street gang. Raoul and the five gang members that came along with him, all climbed out of the graffiti Lincoln Continental. They made there way across the street and into the apartment building. Raoul had recently taken over the street gang after Tito the former leader had been arrested without any hopes of ever getting out and then there is the city’s newest Wako. The God’s will killer who just recently murdered a member of the gang. Raoul knew for sometime now that this day would come. A day when the MS-13 street gang would have to clear up the books on anyone or everyone that ever fucked over the street gang before the neighborhood begins to see them as weak. Inside the building Raoul didn’t like the way the apartment manager that they normally collect protection money from every month was now bravely stood outside his apartment door staring at them as they made there way up the stairs. On the third floor the gang walk directly to Meg’s apartment and Raoul takes one of his hands and holds it over the eye hole so no one could see out the door’s eye glass then with his other hand he lightly knocked on the door. The street gang have known for sometime now where Meg lived. They have only let it go this long because they had hope that Tito could deal with his own mess but plans have changed. Timmy hears a knock at the door and without looking he immediately opens the door thinking that maybe his girlfriend Cory decided to take the long way down from the roof. Instead six Latino men push there way into the apartment and one of the gang members immediately punches Timmy in the face knocking him to the floor. The rest of the them quickly storm in and begin searching the apartment till one of the gang comes out of the master bedroom dragging Aunt Meg across the apartment’s wooden floor by the head of her hair. “where’s the girl” ask Raoul looking down at both Timmy and Meg as there forced to sit beside each other on the floor. “there is no girl” answered Timmy. “liar” yelled Raoul as he started kicking Timmy repeatedly in the chest and face. “she not here right now” cried Meg at she throw herself over top of Timmy using her own body like it was a human shield. Raoul quits kicking Timmy and turns to two of his own men. “you two stay here and wait for the blonde girl” ordered Raoul. “fuck her, torture her, or do whatever in the hell you want as long as she’s dead before you leave” Timmy pushes Meg to the side and tries to tackle Raoul only to be punched once more in the face. Raoul and the three other gang members make it to the bottom of the stairways to the first floor with there two hostages Timmy and Aunt Meg and they were soon met by the apartment manager holding a double barrel shotgun at them. “let them go and leave” screamed the apartment manager nervously at Raoul. “it takes a special kind of person to pull the trigger and kill a person” said Raoul then followed up with a soft laughter as he slowly walking over to the apartment manager and presses his chest against the end of the double barrel shotgun. “unfortunate for your family that your not that kind of man” said Raoul then suddenly with cat like reflexes Raoul rips the shotgun from the apartment manager hands. “please don’t” begged the apartment manager. Raoul hits the apartment manager in the gut with the shock of the shotgun driving him to the floor. Raoul then turns to his men and the two hostages holding the shotgun with the barrel pointed in front of Timmy’s face. “go inside and get them” ordered Raoul to two of his men. Two of the gang members enter into the apartment manager’s apartment. Raoul leans over and kisses Meg on the mouth while still holding gun on Timmy. The gang members come out of the manager’s apartment dragging out a old woman and a young boy into the hallway. “I want you to remember this half measure of bravely the next time you hold a gun on someone” said Raoul to the apartment manager as he slowly moves the gun over to the young boy and pulls the trigger. The close range of the shotgun blast leaves a large hole of shredded flesh in the young boy’s chest. The apartment manager cries out a loud yell of emotional pain watching his grandson die before his eyes. Then Raoul turns the shotgun to the old woman and fires the last shot. The apartment manager watches as the old woman’s head explodes onto the hallway wall behind her into pieces of flesh and brain matter.
