The obituary from November 4, 1999
:"[[Covenant:Higgs|Higgs, Captain Charles M.]] "Chuck", age 60. Chuck's battle with dementia ended on October 31st, 1999.  He was preceded in death by ..... He is survived by ..... Chuck grew up in xxxx, before the Fall.  He was a devoted officer of the law who knew everyone and was a friend to all."

On October 31, 1999, a secret [[Covenant:Cabal|Cabal]] of a dozen men born Before the Fall gathered together in the basement of the police office to perform ritual suicide. No one knows exactly what took place, but everyone knows the story of the first man on the scene.

Faced with the grisly display when he arrived to work early Monday morning, Sgt. McHugh stood strong and kept his composure.  The clues were plain to see and the evidence clear.  Ethan called a town meeting and, on the evening of November 2, gave the townsfolk closure on the greusome suicides.  He did not tell them everything, but he made them feel like he had.  His inner strength came out in his oratory and the crowd hung on his every word.
