The black Lexus was not a common car. Nor was it very cheap. As it sat, parked in the church parking lot, the man who sat inside it peered out of the driver's window at the church's door.
He didn't want to go into the church. No, he hadn't been to church for years. His first wife would have killed him for that, but she was no longer around.
Taking another puff from the cigarette in his well manicured fingers, the groomed man flicked the end of it out of the window and into the rain as he saw someone approach the building.
He couldn't be sure as to whom it was, but it didn't matter to him. As soon as the guy entered the arched church doors, he started up the car and drove off, but not before taking down the guy's vehicle's licence number for later.

Inside, the church was marvellous. No matter how many times he had been there before, he was always struck with awe. Now, he was also struck with guilt.
He sat in the pews with some other people, who were scattered around the church. Looking up at the Holy Cross, he saw, out of the corner of his eye, someone exit the confession box. Almost immediately, someone else entered.
10 minutes later, he was the last one in the church as the lady came out of the box. Standing up, he nervously made his way to the confession's side of the box and waited for the Father to come into the other side.
When he heard the door lock, and the mesh net between then open, he took in a deep breath. He didn't wait for the Father to say anything. He didn't know if he had said anything and he hadn't realised it.
'Forgive me Father, for I have sinned.' He began. But before he could get another word out, there was a gunshot and a bullet went through his left temple.
He was dead immediately.

Kate stood out on the balcony as it rained. The fresh smell of the end of summer was brought to life by it. Fortunately, she was sheltered from the cold drops by the covering above her.
Leaning against the railing, she could see a lot of the traffic passing by under her. So she gazed upwards at the setting sun instead.
She had been sent home an hour and a half ago now, and she found that she had nothing to do. As she was still on desk duty until the next case, as Gibbs kept on saying, she had finished all of her paper work and left early. Tony had been out on the case with McGee, though she guessed that it would be solved pretty soon.
The coldness that had been set upon them that evening made Kate's shoulder ache. It had been 4 months since the cast had came off, and after a lot of rehabilitation, she was able to use it like normal. Kate had passed her shooting and gun handling test a few weeks back, but Gibbs was still reluctant to let her on a scene, claiming that she wasn't needed and that it was for her own good.
A set of very familiar arms snaked around her waist, breaking all of Kate's trail of thoughts.
'Hey.' She murmured, leaning back into the embrace.
'Hey. I thought you were going back to your place?' Tony replied, gently resting his chin on her shoulder.
'I did. Spent about 45 minutes there getting changed and all that. But then I had nothing to do.'
'So you thought you'd come and raid my place?' Tony asked jokingly, gently swaying her.
'Yeah, got a problem with that?' Kate defended her self, letting her hands glide up his arms.
'Well… no. But the other girls I invited around might.' Tony sighed dramatically.
'Then I guess you'll have to tell them to leave. Cos I'm not going anywhere!' Kate played along, laughing.
'Dammit! I knew it that I couldn't get rid of you that easily!' he shook his head as Kate pushed him away.
'Jerk!' she retorted.
'But you love me.' Tony pointed out, wrapping his arms around her once again.
'God help me.' Kate teased, rolling her eyes exaggeratedly. Tony tightened his grip on her with one arm, but started to tickle her with the other, causing her to squirm in his arms. 'Tony!' she squealed.
'Yes?' he asked innocently, slowly stopping his torment. Kate was still breathing hard, mainly due to the fact the she had been laughing so hard.
'That hurt.' She frowned once she had gotten a hold of her breathing.
'I was tickling you. I never knew that tickling could hurt!' Tony said obviously.
'Well, it does! Especially when someone has their hold on you and you can't get away!'
'Ah! So you're saying that I'm stronger than you!' Tony winked.
'No… I'm just saying that it's dangerous.' Kate said sincerely.
'You'd say anything to prove you're not weak.' He laughed, bringing her back into his arms.
'I'm not weak.' Kate defended herself.
'No. You're definitely not.' Tony smirked before leaning in to kiss her. Kate didn't respond for a minute, but then gave in and started to enjoy her guilty pleasure. 'Definitely not weak.' Tony whispered as he broke away. Kate laughed as she turned back to the setting sun and her boyfriend wrapped his arms around her once more, chin resting on her shoulder.
'It's beautiful.' Kate broke the silence with.
'Hmm… What's that?' Tony replied, causing Kate to laugh. The sound of it made Tony smile. It was one of the things that he lived and longed to hear everyday. And the fact that it was because of him that he could here made it all that much special. He started to kiss down her neck, knowing each and every place that made her weak. Tony felt her swallow when he kissed her just below the ear and then bit her ear lobe.
'The… um…' Kate had to get her bearings straight as the man she loved did marvellous things with his mouth on her skin. 'The sunset. And the rainbow.'
Tony stopped his trail to look at what she was talking about. The sun was setting almost opposite to them, so when he looked over his shoulder, he wasn't surprised to see a rainbow, though a lot of it was obscured by the buildings.
'That it is.' He replied.
'Hmm…' Kate hummed back. The sighed contently, still swaying gently. 'Too bad summer's ending now.'
'I kinda like winter. And fall ain't half bad.' Tony told her.
'Yeah, I guess. But it's still nothing compared to summer. The late sunsets, the colours, the temperature. It's all perfect at the end of summer.' Kate sighed once again, and Tony thought about her word. They were enveloped in silence for a while as the sun sunk even lower before them.
'Kate?' he whispered gently, as if talking louder would break the atmosphere they were in.
'Yeah?' she answered back in the same tone as him.
'Marry me.'
Ohhh! What will she say?
Lol – soz for the short chapter – but that seemed like the IDEAL place to end.
I hope that you will read on… and PLEASE R&R! Tell me how it's going so far…
