Free Justification For Killing by Larry Edward Hunt

the Kennedy compound at Hyannis
Port tomorrow afternoon also.”
    “ You mean they are
celebrating the fact the President was wounded?”
    “ Actually Gabby I believe
they would be celebrating the fact he wasn’t killed!”
    “ Oh, yeah... right...
sorry.”
    “ Obviously the topic of
our meeting today is JFK,” the Captain said as he exposed the notes
he had written on his whiteboard. “As you can see by the list I
have outlined some questions about the attempt on his life which
occurred back in ‘63. Yes, this is about JFK, but the outcome of
our meeting today will affect all of you too. That is why you are
all here,” said Captain Scarburg.
    Seated around the table
were all the founders of SCAR with the exception of Papa Scarburg.
He died in the winter of 2002, but Spook and Tinker were present,
so were Spook’s two brothers Sam Lin and Si Lei.
    Gabrielle, or as the
family calls her, Gabby, was seated across the table from her
mother Krista who, for some strange reason was invited to attend
also. She was sitting next to her husband, Trey. Next to Gabby was
another brother Lou. Beside Lou was an empty chair - it should have
been occupied by her other brother Bud; however, Bud was killed in
the Southwest Asian War.
    Bud’s death weighed heavy
on the Scarburg family at a time like this. They always leave an
empty place for him in his honor, like when our military flies in
the “missing man” formation. They don’t do this to remember he is
dead; they do it so they will never forget he was once alive, and a
glorious part of their family.
    The younger sister Olive
Marie sat in the next seat. Forrest was opposite Captain Scarburg
down on the end of the table – way down on the end!
    “ What’s going on
Grandpa... why all the secrecy?”
    “ You all remember the
stories Papa Scarburg, Spook, Tinker and I told you about the film
we watched while we were rescuing Tinker at Pac Toul?”
    “ We sure do Grandpa... The
Zapruder film was of President Kennedy’s attempted assassination
wasn’t it’?
    Gabby chimed in, “Grandpa
we haven’t seen the Zapruder film you ran through the Edison
machines. I don’t remember all the things you told us. Explain that
again.”
    “ I guess you are right
Gabby... and since that time so long ago we have been wanting to
explore what we saw and heard on that 26.6 seconds of
eight-millimeter tape. First and foremost, as most of you know the
reason we have never pursued the events we saw on the film - it
would consume almost all our resources. Importunately, it could
also be very damaging to our national image if the truth were
finally uncovered. Last but not least it could be hazardous to our
health!”
    “ Hazardous! Like in what
way? You mean dangerously?”
    “ I mean you don’t
understand whom we will be dealing with if we get involved. Get
it?” Captain Scarburg continued, “We will need to find out about
all those people and their involvement in the Kennedy assassination
attempt.”
    “ Those people do not want
that information revealed. Those are some of the same individuals
who know where Jimmy Hoffa is buried. They might not have known
exactly the spot, but they possibly could have gotten close to the
mile marker on the interstate highway.
    These people do not play
nicely.”
    The Captain
continued to explain about SCAR’s construction of an alien inspired
machine called the Mindtraveler , oh yes the Mindtraveler...
    Forrest had used it
and remembered everything his Grandpa did while serving in Vietnam,
long before it evolved into the Viruchi War. He remembered it all,
every detail. How, one may wonder? He was there... not physically,
but mentally. Papa Scarburg and Grandpa’s secretive job intrigued
the sixteen-year-old Forrest. He began to play detective to see if
he could find out the mysteries surrounding the work they did. They
were acutely clandestine. He was an inquisitive young lad and
thought it his ‘mission’ to find out what they were hiding.
