Bookstore incident increases the tension…

By Arturo Caruzzo

On Tuesday, September 14^th three unknown individuals attacked Miss Lucy Songlark’s Bookstore with Molotov Cocktails. Due to this incident the tension on the streets of Chicago has increased. The sl Chicago Herald was able to interview Miss Songlark about this matter.


CH: Where were you when your store was ravaged? And when and how did you find out about the incident?
LS: I was actually walking upwards from the river walk when I saw a car swerve and stop in front of the Bookstore.   I thought nothing of it, but then I saw them lit something, and before I could see what it was, I saw the car drive away quickly and then I heard the explosion.  I started running to see if I could see where the car headed, but lost track of it.


CH: Do you have any suspicions on who attacked your store and why?
LS: If I had, I wouldn't tell you. But if you think of it, who would want to attack an innocent BOOKstore?  I suspect Anarchists... Antagonists... whatever you may call them.   Maybe they should stop in and read my book of etiquette?  *nods a bit* Yeah... you know, knowledge is dangerous.


CH: What measures are you going to take?
LS: I am going to measure the windows and the door that broke. And then I am going to send for new, reinforced supplies. Strong, hardy, thick, dependable supplies… *smirks a bit*


According to Chief Shepham Moorlord of the BOI an investigation has started aiming to bring all perpetrators to justice, "a child was hurt badly and sent to hospital but no other casualties have been reported".
CH: The Bookstore ravage has raised the tension in town. Does this have to do with the increasing rivalry between the gangs that are taking over the Streets of Chicago?
Shepham Moorlord: Yes, we believe there are numerous gangs working in the Chicago area. We believe there are some turf disputes amongst them. We believe these issues stem from the illegal distribution of alcohol. We do not believe that they are taking over anything.


CH: What measures are being taken to avoid the growing violence on our streets? Is it safe to walk around town?
SM: As you know as the director of the BOI my responsibilities are directed to issues concerning federal matters. However from time to time we work closely with the police in Chicago. I believe it would be best to ask Chief Joee about city matters.


CH: Any suspects on the Bookstore attack? Who's going to take the responsibilities?
SM: I can not comment on this matter at this time, as it is part of an on going investigation which we are working in a support role to Chicago PD.
