Serenity's Silver Millennium

Short entry today, running on 5 hours of sleep.

The set-up
I wasn't myself, but I was watching this first person. My mother had been killed. I'd heard that there was a plot to kick the ass of the suspected guy who did it, as he was still roaming free. I had my doubts it was him though. I remembered reading something, somewhere, that had cast this suspicion on my mind.

I'm standing at a fence and talking with my IWL mother (though she wasn't my mum in the dream, obviously). It's night time. She told me that the plot was to lure the guy to this site, next door. He was a security guard and his "company" had promised him $18.50/h to take on this new site, which is pretty top wage for a guard. He was all super excited about it.

He finally appears in my dream. He's dancing and singing on the other side of the fence. He keeps coming a little too close to me and it's freaking me out. Doesn't he have any idea who I am? He's suspected of killing my mother!! My WL-mum was disgusted with his behaviour.

Then, I saw people arrive. A good 10 of them. At first, they all started lining up at the fence (on his side, not ours). I saw a girl and recognized her as Nita, from my radio course. We did the old handshake my brother and I used to do (it's nothing elaborate. It's like a hand grasp, slide, finger grasp, fist bump). She tried to give me this, "Don't worry, he deserves this," look. I still had my doubts.

They started dragging him off into the building. "What the hell?" the guy started to say. They took him inside, and I could hear him shouting and I could hear them kicking and beating him. It was really awful to listen to "What if he IS innocent?" I kept thinking. "What if he's enduring this for nothing?"

"Mum, do you really think that this guy did it?" I asked.

"Yep, I absolutely do," my mum said. There wasn't a doubt in her mind he's getting his comeuppance, but it didn't make me feel any better about it.
