The sheriff takes Ben Grimm and Lucas Washington downtown, leaving Lockjaw behind with Sarah Anne Jackson. "In all my days I've never seen anyone as messed up in his body as young Lucas," the sheriff ponders along the way, "but there's something about him... Maybe it's the terrible shape he's in, it makes you more aware of how lucky you been yourself--however badly off you might be... Bein' 'round Lucas Washington somehow makes you...feel good."At the sheriff's office, the trio are greeted by a deputy. The Thing is then welcomed to use the telephone at the sheriff's desk.

BLAM This time the sheriff's warning shot goes unheeded. There are many kinds of violence. Sometimes it is a small, personal thing; petty and cruel, like a man kicking a stray dog. Sometimes it is huge and horrible, and engulfs the world in flames, as war can all-too-often do. And then there is the violence of a mob, which moves in hateful unison, stripping the humanity from men and women alike. It lays bare the evil, animal soul that coils within us all. It turns decent, God-fearing people into monsters worse than any out of nightmare, for it unleashes the hounds of hate, and their hunger feeds only on death. Thing's Health: 6/6

"What are you getting all wokred up for?", asks Thing in puzzlement. Well he wasn't about to let innocents get hurt so he stepped in and blocked the sticks and stones they hurled with his own tough body. "If you're gonna get angry for no reason. Fine, take it out on me. But go home afterwards. Dese other folks are innocent so leave em out of it!" He steeled himself to take the punishment. There didn't seem to be any other way of dealing with the mob since reason didn't work.
