For several days the town had been "all a tither" over the magistrate's brutal methods concerning the Mafia murders, some claimed the bizarre executions were too much, others claimed they were a fitting demise for those foul murderers. At any rate no one could deny that they were not humane, for the witnesses that is, because they're not boring. However because of the protests the magistrate agreed to go with a more traditional execution style in the future.
On the eve of her 23rd birthday, Mrs N.P. Character went to the local Italian restaurant for a fancy meal. It had been months since she had been out for dinner because of a string of events that shall not be explained here. Suffice to say that she was forced to do things she was not proud of and she's not answering any more questions.
Anyway, she went to the restaurant and ordered the Veal Neopolitana. When it was brought to her table she took her time eating it, savouring the flavour. Afterall, she didn't know when she'd get to do this again. As the amount of food began to decrease as, in an interesting case of negative correlation, the food in her stomach began to increase she noticed an odd flavour to the dish. She had never tried veal before but had not expected it to taste so...sweet. Very soon she let out a small yelp of surprise as she bit down on something hard and round. She spat the thing out into her hand and looked at it. Covered in neopolitana sauce was a small silver ring. Looking down into her bowl she noticed something else. The tip of a finger poking out through the pasta.
The police told her that she was not the only one who had found this nasty surprise. Many people in the restaurant that night had discovered human remains in their meal and worse yet, others hadn't. DNA testing from several of the unfinished dishes confirmed the identity of the person whose finger it was that Mrs Character had found.
Not only has the Mafia killed McTaggart but they've managed to have a popular ethnic restaurant closed down pending health and saftey checks!
