3 days later.........

 

Pogo sat on his bed, thinking about what had happened to Manson. It was almost too unreal. He couldn't really believe Marilyn was dead. After that fight with Valmar, so long ago, it seemed Manson would never be killed. It was a tough pill to swallow, but Pogo managed to take the news better than his bandmates. Ginger was in tears for a day straight and he wouldn't come out of his bedroom for food, even. And John, well, he was a mess. He was TEN times worse than Ginger. He was anxious to see Trent, even for a second, because he knew Trent would be even worse than John. Pogo shuddered at that thought. He laid down on his bed and closed his eyes. Sleep eventually claimed him. While Pogo slept, John was out in the living room, sitting on the couch. He stared down at the floor, as if expecting to see something. John closed his eyes and tried to think of Manson, without seeing him fade away or bleed, as he had usually done. But he couldn't do it. It was too hard. Someone knocked on the door. John wondered if he should open it or continue to sit there. He decided to get off his lazy ass and open the door. He saw Trent Reznor standing there, looking terrible.

" Oh......hello.........what do you want?" John said, slightly pissed. Trent was taken aback by the guitarist's rudeness.

" Well...I just came by to see you guys and-" Trent didn't get to finish. John had closed the door and was face to face with Trent.

" I don't know what you did to Brian but I swear to God you'll pay for it!!" John cursed. Trent jumped back.

" I don't know what you're talking about!! Honestly! I..."

John's eyes were filled with rage.

" Don't be dumb. You run a crooked game, and I intend to prove it." John spoke, his face bearing no expression.

" What do you mean?!" Trent was getting panicky. " I did nothing of the sort! If you-"

John had had enough. He hurled his fist into Trent's stomach. The Nine Inch Nails frontman toppled over in pain.

" That was for Brian." John said. Trent's eyes burned with tears.

" Why'd you-?!"

John slammed his elbow into Trent's ribcage and kicked him back a few feet. Trent had never seen John like this before.

" I think I finally understand you now!" John said. " You're a monster!!!!!!"

Trent fell to one knee, then onto his back.

" D.....damn...you.....h...how...could...you...do...this??" Trent breathed. John raised his foot and lightly placed it on Trent's chest.

" SAY GOODBYE!!!! Unless you'll tell me what you did!"

" I didn't-GAHHH!!!!"

John slammed his foot on Trent's chest. Reznor cried out in pain.

" TELL ME!!! TELL ME OR I'LL SEND YOU TO HELL!!!!!"

Each time John stomped on him, Trent put more thought to telling what happened. Finally, Trent gave up.

" Alright....I'll talk........."

" Good...Now....do you swear to tell the truth and nothing but the truth so help you God?"

Trent nodded.

" I will tell everything."

" Okay....what happened?" John was quick and to the point.

Trent took a deep breath and began.

" I know who killed Brian.........."
