Title: Goodbye from Freemanburg

A Man in Black came through batwing doors into the saloon of Reginald Lawrence , founder of the Alta Calafia Bank, bought by Wells Fargo which would become a Systemically Important Financial Institution; he entered the saloon's foyer: multiwindowed, facing the east, part bar for drinking/sitting, part lobby for standing/dancing, part restaurant for eating with family or alone, bright Biedermeier colors, where no gambling was allowed. While, Lawrence sat in the windowless casino behind the tavern with a single hinged lockable door, where legendary exclusive card games occurred. The Man in Black's : skin, walking style, all black outfit, negatively alerted the : patrons, bartender, security; but the man expected said reaction and acted first, pulling out his guns toward the casino, running at full speed amidst the crowd; the three security men at his back began firing hitting patrons and him once. The security man at the casino door was killed, blindsided by the chaos. The Man in Black shot the locked door and focused to the back of the room, knowing Lawrence will be there, and killed a security guard; he took out the gun from Jessie Lee with one gold bullet and said "This is for Freemanburg".

Lawrence died and the tick tocks of Father Time's watch chimed from the Man in Black's vest; suddenly the back wall of Lawrence's saloon blew open at 12:00pm on the dot and he was taken away in the dust; as an old man, he told the story of Jessie Lee.
