Payback  (18+) The small town has trouble with gangs, until a saviour comes to assist. #2231310 by Sumojo

The anti hero I suppose you’d call him.The last time I used this was in a story about some guy riding into town on a Greyhound bus from who knows where. It’s as if he knew this was a town that needed help. In actual fact this guy turned out to be Satan and when faced with a member of an outlaw, biker gang, who’s taken on the name Lucifer, takes offence and decides to teach him a lesson.
In this case the Devil does good, which in retrospect that’s not a statement he himself would like to hear.
But wouldn’t it be great if each town, city or country in the world had such a saviour. They’d stroll, nonchalantly, into town, take one glance and establish the problem. Within a short amount of time the issue would have been dealt with, without fuss, or fanfare.
