The Killers - What do you think George, Nick, Ole Anderson, Max, and Al will do after the story ends?

The Killers

This writing is just my opinion.

                                                                                                                                 

• In the beginning of this story, George looks like he isn’t good at understanding the atmosphere, so he asks Max what Max will do. However, at the last part of story, he says to Nick “You better not think about it.”  At first, George actually tries to help Ole Anderson can escape the bad situation, but George changes his mind that deciding to forget about Max & Al’s plan because Ole Anderson looks like he doesn’t want to escape the situation.

• Nick says to George that he will get out of the town because he doesn’t want to see Ole Anderson will be killed by Max & Al. However, he just says like that nevertheless he doesn’t want get out of the town. Probably, he wants to express his mind strongly at that time. He will try to help Ole Anderson constantly before Ole Anderson will be killed even though O. Anderson doesn't want it.

• Ole Anderson will be killed by Max & Al, but not soon. Ole Anderson seems as if he has already been waiting for his death. He undestands all this situation.

• Al thinks they (he and Max) tell their plan too much, so he will behave more carefully. At first, he will understand how the situation is going (because they tell their plan too much) and then, he will start to act. Anyway, he will kill Ole Anderson. The situation will be going to well for Al because O. Anderson has already been waiting for Al & Max.

• Max isn’t cautious person. He is a kind of impulsive person. He will instigate Al to kill Ole Anderson as soon as possible, but he will follow Al’s opinion. Al’s power looks a little stronger than Max’s.
