Milly sat up and got dressed while Nick walked around for awhile, smoking a
cigarette. He sighed, thinking about what to do next.
Neither noticed or heard the cars pulling up outside the building. Nick sat on the bed while Milly fell back asleep. He noticed a silhouette in the curtains outside, one of Chapel's assassins were trying to sneak in. Nick aimed his pistol at him, but before he could fire another one began sneaking around. Nick picked up his other pistol and pointed it at him as well.
"Now I gotcha."
When they were both in range Nick fired at one, sinking one in his chest. The shot woke Milly up. The other goon broke the window glass, but Nick saw him and shot him before he could get a shot off.
"Run!!!!" Nick shouted.
Nick picked up his cross while Milly scrambled to get her shoes on, but when they tried to go downstairs the stairs along with the entire building was on fire.
"We're not getting out this way. Come on." Nick said,
They took to the roof, but Chapel's men were waiting. Nick shot them and looked at the next rooftop not far away. He first threw his cross which was shot at by the men below in the alleyway.
"We gotta jump, you first." Nick told Milly.
"But Mr. Priest, I-"
"Go!!!" Nick said, giving her a push
"Eek!!" Milly squealed as she landed on the next rooftop while Nick fired at the henchmen.
Nick jumped next and landed on his back on the roof. He noticed a powder keg sitting on the side of the building and a few inches from the goons. He fired a few rounds at it
BOOM
The men went flying as Nick and Milly walked off.
Later after the building was a smoldering ruin Chapel came by to see what was going on.
Milly looked and saw him.
"That's Chapel"
"It is?"
Nick took out a small add on scope and attached it to the top of his pistol.
"One clean shot is all I need to end this." He said as he aimed at Chapel's head while looking through the scope to adjust the little target cross. He finally got a good look at Chapel for the first time, and was shocked at what he saw. He couldn't believe his eyes.
He took the scope off and put the gun back in the cross.
"What are you doing? Shoot him." Milly said.
"I can't." he said.
"Why not? He's going to kill me when he finds me." She asked.
"Never mind, we gotta go, come on." He said, moving onto the next rooftop. Milly had no choice to follow.
Chapel looked at his men with disgrace.
"You idiots make me sick. You KNEW he was there. You didn't know before, and this time you did. You STILL couldn't get him. I ask you, how hard is it to kill someone you don't recognize in town?" Chapel said, picking up two big machine guns.
"Look at them, I don't know them." Chapel said, motioning to the new men who just joined the gang.
"They have guns; they must be doing all this."
Instead of listening to them begging for their lives Chapel let off some rounds and filling them full of holes.
"See? Is that so hard? Do I have to do everything around here myself?" Chapel asked Cain.
"Now go and find him." He ordered. The men piled into trucks and wagons and took off.
Nick and Milly took refuge in the church backroom.
"I wasn't always a gun toting priest just so you know." He said
Milly was still weeping over her lost home.
"What do you have against Chapel?" she asked.
"His henchmen killed my parents when I was a little boy. I tracked down the one who pulled the trigger and killed him at the age of 7. I thought I had avenged my parents, but I was wrong."
"Well why didn't you shoot him when you had the chance?" Milly protested.
"Look, I've been after him my whole life. It's not as simple as I thought it would be."
"Well you still have your cross. Maybe you should fight him to the death."
Nick chuckled a bit. He took the sheet off the cross and gripped the handle in the center of the cross and turned it I80 degrees. The vertical line of the cross opened up to reveal what was really inside.
Milly gasped.
"Maybe there is another way." Nick said.
He closed the cross and carried it to the church alter. He sank to his knees while holding his cross.
"I never have made a real confession before. Some church man I am, but this is my darkest hour, and I need the strength to fight lord. Please, forgive me for taking your name in vain and for killing men in anger then and now. Give me the strength to be what I am, and to become who I was again."
Milly watched his praying and sighed.
Later Chapel's men rode into town, looking for Nick, and he wasn't hard to find as he stood at the end of the street, his cross still wrapped up and being held on his shoulder.
"That's him, spread out." Cain shouted.
Nick cracked his knuckles
"Let's do this."
Henchmen began firing at him, he used his cross as a shield before unbuckling the strap.
The sheet came off and Nick took the cross by the handle. The long end opened to reveal a machine gun. He fired at the cars and the henchmen but the bullets just bounced off the car.
"Fine, dodge this." Nick said, turning the cross around and pointing the short end at the car. It opened to reveal a rocket launcher. He fired and blew one of the cars and the goons inside it to bits.
The men fired back and Nick dived for cover behind an old car. He pulled out his two pistols and fired on the ones who were on the roof. More men on the ground fired at him as he raised his cross back up and fired more rounds off and nailing most of them.
Others ran for cover, Nick used his rocket launcher to blow them away; he fired another one at the approaching car and blowing it up. The launcher clicked.
"Shit, out of rockets." He thought.
He fired off his machine gun and killed off most of them.
Another batch rode up.
"Damn it, they just keep coming." Nick said. He fired off more shots until he was out of bullets again. Milly snuck over to take the car and rammed the last ones.
Nick grabbed his cross and ran into the car. Cain took out his long rifle to aim for his head, but Nick was ready for him, He dodged the shot and fired into Cain's uncovered eye.
A sound came from the back of the car. Nick looked and saw Kaite tied up. He took the gag off him.
"They made me say where you were. My arm..." Kaite said, passing out from the pain in his broken arm.
Nick took him to the hospital and called his dad.
"Time to finish this." Nick said as he and Milly got back in the car and headed to Chapel's mansion.
Neither noticed or heard the cars pulling up outside the building. Nick sat on the bed while Milly fell back asleep. He noticed a silhouette in the curtains outside, one of Chapel's assassins were trying to sneak in. Nick aimed his pistol at him, but before he could fire another one began sneaking around.
