Sure bring him home with you for a few days the mother replied. Mother there is something you need to know about my buddy. Both legs are amputated one arm is gone his face quite disfigured and one ear and eye are missing. He's not much to look at but he needs a home real bad. The mother stammered A home Why dont you bring him along for a few days. You dont understand the young man pleaded. I want to bring him home to alive.

I think that is asking a lot, son, but you get home soon so we can spend the holidays together. As for you friend, Im sorry about his condition, but what would our friends think. How would I explain this to the people at the club and the phone went dead.

Later that night the couple returned from their party with a message to call the police department in a small California town. The mother placed the call and asked for the chief of police. The man at the other end said. We have just found one young man with both legs and one arm missing, his face is badly mangled and one eye and ear are missing. He shot himself in the head. His identification indicates he is your son.
