Heather woke up the next day, she groaned and checked the clock; it read 9:30am. They had gone to bed at about 1:00am. She wanted to roll over and go back to bed, but she had a headache, so she stood up, stretched and headed to the bathroom. She searched the cabinets hoping to find some aspirin but with no luck.

"What are ye lookin' for lass?" Conner asked from outside of the bathroom. "I'm sorry", she replied "I was looking for aspirin, my head is killing me" she said as she placed her hand on her head. "Aye, no need te apologize lass, I think we have some in the kitchen. I'll go get it for ye." He said.

"That was my next destination", she said as she followed him into the kitchen and took a seat. He opened up a cabinet and pulled out a bottle of pills, took a couple pills out, and placed the bottle back. Then he got a glass out of another and filled it with water, then handed both to Heather. "There ye go, that should help ye." He said as he took a seat beside her. "Thank you", she said with a smile, then popped the pills and drank the water.

"Are ye hungry?" he asked as he stood up and walked over to the fridge and opened it, took some bacon eggs out. "I could eat" she replied with a smile. He smiled as he grabbed a pan and turned on a burner, and then set the pan on there. "Oh, almost forgot" he went back to the fridge, opened it and took out some butter. He put some in the pan and let it melt before he started cracking the eggs.

Murphy walked into the kitchen looking like he had just woken up, "Mmm, something smells good" he said sleepily and sat down across from Heather. "Mornin' Heather", he said with a little smile. "Good morning Murphy", she replied with a smile. "Me brother here, he knows how te cook." He said as he winked at Conner. Conner shook his head and chuckled, "I do ok" he said. "Being modest now are ye?" Murphy chuckled. Conner turned back to cooking to hide that he was blushing a bit.

A few minutes passed and the three of them were eating when the phone rang. Murphy hurried over to the phone, Conner right behind him. They each listened and talked on the phone for a minute, then hung up. They spoke amongst themselves quietly before heading back over to the table and sat back down.

"Are you two going out tonight?" Heather asked looking at both of them. "Aye" Conner replied, "we've got business to take care of. Will you been fine here alone for a while?" he asked. "For how long?" she asked. "We're te leave at 7:30, so probably either till real late at night or early mornin" he replied. "Oh, alright, I think I can manage that", she replied. "We'll leave a weapon here for protection if ye want," Murphy said. "No, thank you, I'll be fine" she said.

By the time 7:00 came, the boys were in their room getting ready while Heather was on the couch watching TV. "I think we should leave her one anyway, just in case ye know?" Murphy said to his brother. "Aye; was goin to anyway." Conner replied. After they had finished getting ready, they went out to the living room and set a gun on the table. "We insist that ye have this, just in case lass" Conner said. "Alright, you boys better be careful" she said. They both nodded then headed out the door.

Heather stared at the gun; she had never used a handgun before, though she was pretty handy with a bow and arrow back at home. She wondered if she can be just as good with a gun, if she needed it. Hours had passed and she begun to worry, even though they had told her the latest they would be back was early morning.

She let it get the best of her, so she stood up and went into the room she slept in and grabbed her coat. She looked around to see if she could find a ski mask that Da might have left behind when he went to Ireland to visit Ma. Bingo! She found it in on of the drawers and took it out. She then went over to one of her suitcases and pulled out a small bag with ponytails in it. She went into the bathroom and combed her hair back then tied it back and slipped on the coat, then went back into the living room, grabbed the gun off the table and put it in her pocket. She put the ski mask on and headed out the door. Not sure of where to go, she started walking.

After what seemed like forever she heard scuffling and voices that had sounded like the boys so she slowly crept up towards the sound so she wouldn't be caught. When she had found where she was hearing the noises she saw that there were two men that had the boys in a hold and two others with what looked like their own guns pointing at them.

"You two thought you could sneak up on us eh?" one of them spoke in a heavy Russian accent. "Let's just get this over with" another one of them said.

Heather slowly reached into her pocket and pulled out the gun. She aimed it at one of the men and pulled the trigger. It caught him right in the temple and he went down instantly. The three remaining men looked around confused.

"Has your Daaa come to save you idiots?" one of them said with a laugh. Heather pulled the trigger again and the other man went down. The remaining two looked around again in confusion and then anger. "Where the fuck is that coming from?!" one of them screamed. They let go of the boys and started looking around.

"Over here assholes" Heather said as she stepped into view pointing the gun in their direction. The boys froze in shock when they saw it was her that shot the other two men.

"You?" one of them said with a smirk. "Where did a pretty little lady like you learn to shoot like that?" he asked as his smile grew wider. They both started to approach her with perverted smirks on their faces. Heather managed to shoot one of the two down just before the other one tackled her to ground.

"You shouldn't meddle in others' business young lady" the man said as he had her pinned by her wrists. When the boys saw she was in trouble they came to their senses and grabbed their guns off the men she had killed, then ran up and hit the man upside his head knocking him off of Heather.

Conner helped her up as Murphy had his gun pointed at the man "Did ye forget that nobody was holdin us back anymore?" Murphy said to the man. "Fuck you" the man spat at him. Murphy wacked him in the head with his gun again. "Come on Conn, now we can get this fucker."

"Are ye alright Heather?" he asked her. She nodded "Go finish what you came here for," she said. He nodded and stepped over where his brother and the man were as Heather backed up to give them more room.

They brought the man to his knees, aimed their guns at his head, and then said the prayer just before pulling the triggers. After they laid him down, they reached into their pockets and pulled out pennies to place on his eyes, then went around doing the same to the other men.
