“Everything is ready, sir.”
Scarecrow looked back towards his second-in-command, tearing his eyes off of his binoculars pointed directly at the rally below.
“Good. Do you have the detonator?” he replied, moving his hand out behind him. The henchman moved his hand to his belt, removing the rectangular detonator from it before setting it in the criminal’s gloved palm. He tightened his grip almost immediately, setting it on the edge of the rooftop as he stared through his binoculars.
It was a definite fortune for him that the police chief had chosen to base his rally in front of a large building; specifically, the office building they had raided a few days ago. The chief must have thought holding a ceremony for the fallen on the place they had fell would strike a chord with the public. Sadly (okay, not so sadly,) for him, it was just what he wanted. Him and his rabble had been terrorizing the good people of Coruscant for far too long; they abused the public, removing rights that they deserved to the point where no one knew what true freedom was. Enough was enough in his eyes. If they would not listen, then he would make them listen.
A healthy dose of fear can change the minds of anyone. Fear rattled the mind and corrupted the soul, turning the most intelligent and elegant of man into irrational creatures with no regards for the safety of anyone but themselves. Once a man starts looking out for himself and himself only, they’ll believe anything told to them.
Stars twinkled the digital sky, illuminating the wide, open rooftop that Scarecrow and his henchman stood on. Just below were seemingly hundreds of men, women, and children attending the ceremony, as well as a fair amount of soldiers to go along with it. Their leader, the Chief, stood on a wooden pedestal draped in the Empire’s colors, speaking into a microphone that rang out across the plaza. Normally, the crime boss would have activated his plan by now, but he wanted to wait. An unidentified whistleblower had sent them a copy of the prepared speech. The words by the end were just too good an opportunity to pass up; he had to activate his plan by then. It was exactly the message he wanted to get across.
So he waited; he waited and his listened to the drones of the Chief as he gave his speech. His hand inched towards the detonator.
A whoosh of air flew past his head as his fingers clamped down where the detonator used to be.
He whirled around, setting his binoculars down. Standing at the opposite end of the rooftop, having apparently just gotten there a few moments ago, was a small, stout skeleton wearing a blue jacket, white turtleneck, and staring at them with two white glowing eyes and a goofy smile. At first, both Scarecrow and his second-in-command were confused as to who this creature was… until he spoke.
“looks like you got my text after all… sorry i’m late, but you know…” he said, chuckling in a deep, casual voice, “couldn’t help but notice that, uh… you were scheming and all that.”
He raised his right hand, the detonator gripped firmly in his bony fingers. His glowing eyes had disappeared, leaving a black void in his eyelids.
“normally, i’d let it slide…. but i think i’ve given you plenty of chances, scarecrow.”
