GOLD
Chapter Two
It was Sunday, so the restaurant was closed and Mr. Byrd was at church. Talk about a religious fanatic. He goes to church three times a day. Morning, Afternoon, and Evening.
PRAISE THE LORD ON SUNDAY NIGHT! PRAISE THE LORD ON SUNDAY MORNING!
So, we were just sitting around backstage. I was tuning my guitar. When I thought it was tuned correctly, I started playing the song:
Burning Ring of Fire
I just play when tuning my guitar. Byrd knew the words to it, so he started singing.
I fell in to a burning ring of fire!
I went down, down, down…
The flames went higher!
And it burns! Burns! Burns!
The ring of fire… the ring of…
BANG!
We heard gun shots. I went to look out the window in the front of the building, and saw Hitler's S.H. Battalion.
"The Super Hippy Battalion is back," I said," This time with guns!"
"Oh, how wonderful!" Byrd responded sarcastically.
"I know where Mr. Byrd's gun-safe is. Let's go and get ready," I said.
"You're gonna shoot them?" Aera asked.
"Yep!" Byrd and I replied in unison.
Aera didn't come this time. It turns out that her soul wasn't very violent. We went to the gun-safe which was located in his walk-in closet. I put the code in:
1254 (Remember that)
It opened. I grabbed a revolver and a rifle.
Byrd grabbed a pistol and an… assault rifle? Don't you need a permit for that? Eh.
We went to the balcony and looked down over the crowd. We started firing our guns.
This time, we painted the crowd red. They fled towards their Volkswagens.
Unfortunately, none were dead, but plenty were wounded. They sped off in their little cars.
When we put the guns up and went back downstairs, Aera glared at us.
"I can't believe you two," She murmured.
Later when Mr. Byrd came home, he asked about the blood in the front yard.
"Hitler's S.H. Battalion came back… with guns." I answered.
"Number one," He asked," S.H.? And number two, what'd you do about it?"
"S.H.," I replied," Stands for Super Hippies, and we shot at them… with real guns."
"Sounds good to me!"
"God help us," Murmured Aera.
"What?" The three of us asked in unison.
