DAY 1 (this is actually the first day) Grudges win over

For(wo)man Hicks called a special meeting and told everyone that the only way to weed out the saboteurs was to begin firing them. That way they wouldn't be allowed at the work site any longer. She asked her crew to come up with names of people they thought should be fired. She didn't think she could pick out any one person on her own. They had been a crew together for a long time and she was very emotionally attached to all of them.

As the day progressed, it was obvious that Angela's strong disdain for Jason was coming through. She had hated him ever since he had been promoted to the crane operator over her. She thought he, of all people, had the greatest opportunity to drop filled buckets from high places because of his access to the crane. She also noticed that the crane was not that far from the tool shed. She thought for sure, Jason must be the culprit.

At once, she started to recruit people to her side. She was able to convince her sisters, Emily and Sarah right away. As the group saw them join Angela, they started to fall in line. Everyone was pretty shook up with the injury of Jay and knew that it could of been them. They felt that it was better to get rid of someone than to not do anything at all. Even Jana, Jason's dear wife, was convinced at first. However, he was able to talk her out of it before the end of the day.

Foreman Hicks told them they would need a majority of the crew to convince her of a crew member's guilt. Before punch-out time, Angela and her supporters approached Hillary and explained their position. They were very convincing and Hillary agreed that Jason should be the one fired.

Hillary gave Jason his final pay check and as he walked away he yelled over his shoulder, "Thanks for nothing all of you who I thought were my friends. I'm not the saboteur who hurt Jay. But now I can go on that long awaited vacation to Florida because I don't have to work with you blind sheep anymore!"

Jason was a construction worker (townie). Now that he has been fired he can no longer comment and he will not be returning. This is now "night". It will last until midnight on Wednesday. Please contact me if you have a night role.

    Small grammar note: The word of will never come between the words could, would, should and the word been. You're thinking of could've.

    Yeah, he's good for that. He likes to correct me whenever he gets the chance. Sorry for my imperfections, Kurt.

    Sorry Jason, I really didn't think we would end up "firing" you. I figured someone else's name would be thrown in and your family would stand up for you. I guess there is no familial loyalty in the mafia...

    You should know that, Sarah.... Look at our family. Your bro was the only one who voted for you. And all last game we kept thinking that Emily really was mafia....

    I wasn't trying to be mean or make fun of you, Hillary. I just thought I'd point out a useful writing tip. We all have imperfections, but we try to improve on them, right?
