But all was not right. The screaming had only stopped because those who were screaming now had gun barrels and knives pressed to their throats.
A tall, grey-haired man with flinty eyes stood with his eyes glimmering. Looking over his captives, he selected a few people, which included the Marquette sisters, before waving his men away.
As he left through a hidden exit behind one of the stands, he waved a hand aimlessly.
A young man, smiling devilishly, repeated the gesture to the other men, who slit the throats of those who were not being made to follow the grey-haired man. Blood of the innocent wet the ground, and the murderers let their victims fall to the ground before silently following their leader into blackness.
...
Even quarter mile away, Maggie felt theit passing. The ghost flocked about her, clutching their cut, bleeding throats.
"NO!" The hit-woman screamed. No,no,no...Giovanni found out...my fault, my fault, MY FAULT!

Meier, unaware of this, walked right into the barn.
He drew back in shock at the bloody mess before him. ''What the hell??" He said looking at everything with wide eyes.

Maggie was suddenly behind him, her brown eyes hollow. "You healed the girl in front of everyone, didn;t you?" She whispered, stopping to pick up a blood-splattered doll. The little girl that owned it lay in a crumbled heap next to a man that was probably her father. The man's dead eyes seemed to look straight through Maggie and Meier.
"I thought you Nobles could see things like this happening..." Maggie whispered, clutching the doll to her chest. There were several ghosts folating around, looking dumbly at their own dead bodies. The Mexican shivered at the sight.

Meier nodded. ''We can...but, Im on Earth....its harder to see the future whenIm here...and, it takes more energy to always be tuned into it...but......this I didnt see.''He said looking around and shaking his head.
''This is not going to make her happy...''He muttered.

Maggie turned sharply and struck Meier across the face. "This would not have happened had you the sense to bring her backstage, Link! And now Marquette and her sister are to be prisoners of Giovanni along with a few unlucky others. Look at this! The carnage, the blood! I tried to stop this!" She said, then ranted off in her own language, pacing fitfully.

Meier rubbed his face. Women seemed to just, love, to slap him hard across his face.
He sighed and looked around. ''Well, we can still stop anymore people from dieing...if we work fast.''He said.

Maggie looked at him, brown eyes cold. "Ah...and how do you propse we do that? I've already been killed by Giovanni, and I don't plan to do it again." She growled.

Meier sighed. ''Well, I can take care of him.''He said. ''You, just make sure those people they have get away safely..Ill deal with all the real dirty work, if it makes it any better for you.''He explained.

Maggie nodded. "Right...the world would be better served without him--" Suddenly she turned, looking over her shoulder at somehthing. "Si, Eoin...do you take me for a fool? Of course I know the way!"

Meier nodded slowly and looked around one last time at all the dead people. He questioned where Mr.Tall was, but he figured he had been one of the people taken hostage...he could see the future, he surely could have stopped all of this.

Maggie walked over him, but something invisible jerked her back. There was a quiet whisper that only Maggie could understand, and as the message wore on, her brown face began pasty. "Link...wait. There's something...something you should know."

Meier looked at her and raised an eyebrow. ''What? Tell me...''He said fearing what it was she ws about to say.

Maggie did not have to say it, for the instant she opened her mouth to speak something shining appeared out of nowhere and landed at Meier's feet.
Maggie's brown eyes examined the small object. It was a bracelet of sorts, silver in color. It had been cracked down the middle, which was probably how it had come off it's owner. The Mexican woman bent and picked it up, examing it. Then she looked back at Meier. "Link...they have her."

Meier looked at the bracelet and nodded slowly. ''Well, if what you had to tell me can wait...we might need it to, I think if I try, we can just, zap, to her.''He said making a zig-zag line in the air like lightning.

Maggie tucked the bracelet in her canvas bag and nodded. "I'm all for that...zap away, mi amigo." She replied, her Spanish, not surprisingly, flawless.
