Rory was standing near the glass enclosed coffin of his leader and friend. The grandstand was outside and it was very hot out. Rory moped his forehead with his hand. He watched the masses going by the coffin. Some went by quietly. Some people were crying. Some were laughing because of emotions they were having. Just then, someone put a hand on Rory's shoulder.

" Hello Rory". Marcus Perrine shook his hand. " Are you enjoying the celebration this afternoon?".

" I'm sad". Rory frowned. " This heat doesn't help".

" Rory, One World and myself want to thank you and your bank for all your financial help".

" Your welcome". 

" Myself and One World will not forget it". Mr Perrine walked away.

Rory walked up to the coffin. As he stood there, he heard a strange noise coming from inside the coffin. Joy came to Rory's eyes as he watched Mr Simpato's eyes open. Rory noticed as his leader lifted his head. Carlo slowly forced open the top of the glass coffin. 

Rory got down on one knee. " Master, I've missed you".

Carlo floated up out of the glass coffin. " Peace". People began running toward Carlo.

" Do not be afraid".

Others fell down on their knees.

" I have raised myself from the dead".

Rory yelled. " We love you Master".

" Come and worship me".
