Chapter two; Kill all which is evil.

The next morning Lucy got out of bed her head spinning from the weirdest dream ever.
Simone already sat at the breakfast table drinking coffee. She looked as bad as Lucy herself did.

"How uhm... was your drink?" Lucy asked
"The drink was okay... Connor was fantastic." Simone replied dreamily.

"You didn't!" Lucy put her cup down on the table and looked at Simone who immediately knew what Lucy meant. "NO! Didn't what do you take me for? Some hussy?"
Lucy looked at her sister. "Well sorry but considering the dreams, ya never know."

"How about you my dear dear Sister?" Simone said eying Lucy
"What?" Lucy said
"I can see it in yer eyes. Spill!! Oh no need... you kissed him!"

"How we think alike..." Lucy said... "And now we're on the subject... Did you by any chance..."
"Have a weird fucking dream? Aye I did. I heard mom saying the prayer and the priest talking... and Connor." Simone said dreamily by the last two words.

"Connor what?" Lucy looked at Simone over the edge of her mug.
Simone looked at her for a second. "Trust me mum, the prayer and the priest is all the detail you want." She smiled before taking a sip of her coffee.

"Well on that we are the same, but I do think that my "details" would wig you out more." Lucy smiled at the memory of her dream; she couldn't wait to see him again.

"Hmm I wonder." Simone said.
"I am hoping to see Connor today. I know I know... but after my dream I have the feeling we are allowed a life."
"Hmm maybe the PTB's (Powers that be) finally got the point"

"Well I have to say that they do owe us one, I mean we've done enough for them." Simone lit a cigarette. "I say we use our PTB advantage and go into town, maybe we'll run into the guys there." Lucy confirmed with a smile.

Connor walked up to Murphy's door a knocked on it, when his brother opened the door he looked sleepy eyes and groggy. With out saying anything Connor walked in the door and waited for his brother to put on his clothes.
After a while they were outside walking towards the local cafe to get some breakfast.
Murphy lit 2 cigarettes and handed one to Connor. "So I had the weirdest fucking dream last night." He looked at Connor.
"Aye as did I."

"Kinda like the last one we had." They both said at the same time then laughed.
"What do you suppose it means?"
"I don't know but I have the weirdest feeling that we can have some fun." Murph answered laughing

they ordered breakfast and ate their food...

After wards they decided to look up the man Simone had spoken about to see if he didn't have a house they could rent.

Simone and Lucy dragged the shopping they had done inside the house. Both of them suffering from buyer's remorse, they had bought loads of stuff they didn't need as compensation for swaggering round town without running in to the guys.
There was a honk of a horn and their landlord drove up to the gate and peered out his open window. "Hullo girls, just popping by to tell you that you've got new neighbours. I've rented out the house on the other side of the field." He honked his horn again and then drove off.

"Uhm... okay." Simone waved.
"Let's see who it is."
"Aye okay..."
after 15 min walking they reached the house and saw two man standing in front drinking what seemed like whiskedy, looking a bit closer Simone saw who it were.
"Fuck me!"
Connor whipped round and saw Simone standing with her hand covering her mouth. He flashed a bright smile.

"Well hello neighbour!" He waved to her as he walked up to her.
Murphy felt his stomach give a jolt when he saw Lucy, she walked up to him and threw him a smile. "Hiya were christening the place, want a drink?" Murphy asked as he held up the bottle of whisky.
"Sure ill have one, thanks." Lucy said thinking about their kiss.
"Oh wait I have to go find a glass." Murphy said wanting to walk off, Lucy stopped him and took his bottle from him. "No need." She said and took a drink straight from the bottle.

Connor looked deep into simone's eyes. "I had a dream about you again." He said rubbing his own lip with his thumb.

"Me too."
"It was ... interesting..." Connor said walking up to her.
"Aye I know..." Simone grinned at the thought of it.
Connor took her hand. "I am going to show her the uhm garden!" Connor yelled at Murph and Lucy, who both grinned and nodded.
"The garden ey?"

"Yeah Simone is real into....flowers." Lucy said with a big grin.

Connor led Simone round the house; as soon as they were both out of view he pulled her close to him and kissed her.
"I've been wanting to do that ever since I woke up." He said with his hand at the side of her face.

Lucy looked at Murphy who in his turn was till quite amazed to see a woman drinking from a bottle like that.
"WHAT?" Lucy looked at him with question written al over her face.
"You're..... Well something else that's for sure." He said as she took yet another drink from the bottle.

"Well that's a good thing, because I don't want to look like anyone except for my sister."
"How about we follow her example?"
"Hmm that sounds intriguing."

Simone wrapped her arms round Connor and hugged him tight. "It's so weird. I mean we just met but I feel like we have been dating forever."
"Maybe it's the dreams." Connor grinned at the thought of it.
"Hey, stop thinking that!" Simone said
"What? How do you know...?"
"I am thinking the same thing." Simone kissed him again

Lucy followed Murphy inside; as soon as they were in the house he took her hand and stroked it with his free hand. "You know I had a dream last night." Murphy said as he looked up at her.
"Did ye now?" Lucy knew what he meant; she felt a tingle in her stomach.
"Aye I did, and what I wanted to share from it was this." He stepped up to her and kissed her.

Connor looked at Simone again. "Maybe we should stop this and talk a bit?"

"Yeah we must." Simone said moving over to a fence and sitting on top.

"So what do you want to talk about?" Connor said standing between her legs, his hands on her thighs.

"How about... our backgrounds?"
"Sure... I am Irish origin, Murph's my brother... Our dad died 4 years back. And that's about it..."
"I'm sorry about your dad." Simone thought back to her own parents.
"So what's your story?"
"Well I'm Irish too, Lucy's my sis. My dad left my mum and us when we were little, I think he died. My mom, she died a year ago..." Simone's face turned sad thinking about her.
"I'm sorry..." Connor said giving her a soft kiss.

Lucy and Murphy were still kissing when Lucy got a flash of images flowing through her head. "Not NOW!" She thought but it was too late, she saw a man being escorted through a set of big doors and led to a car. Another flash showed her the man killing a woman with a smile on his face.
Lucy pulled away from Murphy while holding onto her head with one of her hands.

Simone leaned back a bit while the images were streaming through her head, all the while Connor was looking at her with amazement.
"What's wrong? What is going on?" He asked now looking concerned. It looked like she was having some kind of attack.
As sudden as it had started the images stopped and Simone looked at him.
"I'm ok, just got a terrible headache that's all, I'd better get home."
She got up and walked back round the house.

Murphy looked at Lucy. "What the fuck just happened?" Lucy was still trying to organize the images in her head. "Nothing, have a headache. I need to get home.
Without looking at Murphy again she walked out the door, she needed to find Simone.

Simone and Lucy met each other in the front yard. Not looking back... not looking at each other.

"This has to be dealt with." Simone said
"Aye." Lucy replied

Connor walked into the house and saw Murph looking out of the window. "I don't get it." he said out loud. "One moment she is so close and suddenly she's miles away."
"Aye I know what you mean ..." Connor said.

Lucy and Simone walked through the field, when they came to the house Simone went in to grab two black bags and Lucy started the car.
Simone got in and handed Lucy her bag. "Well So much for the PTB owing us! Where are we going?" Lucy drove of the yard while lighting a cigarette. "Into town I recognized the building we can trace him from there."

Murphy was still staring out of the window, because their house was higher on a hill he could see the girls car drive of. "Headache my foot, they've just gone of in the car!"

"What!" Connor ran over to the window falling over a chair in the process. "I can't believe she just did that!" Connor said.

"Maybe they had something important to do."

Lucy walked out of the police station with a paper in her hand.
"So who in there is your new best friend?" Simone asked with a smile on her face. "A man called greenly, was kind enough to tell me the location of my ex boyfriend who still has some of my stuff." Lucy answered with a sweet smile as she handed Simone the paper. "That's where they are keeping him; they didn't dare put him in a normal jail, not after what he did."

"This wrong should be righted." Simone nodded.

"DOWN! On yer knees!" Lucy yelled through her black mask

"Do as she says!" Simone yelled kicking him in the back.

She looked up as she saw two men enter the room with black masks. She pointed her gun at them. "Who the fuck are you?"

"Simone?" Connor's voice sounded

"Connor?" Simone asked looking confused... although they couldn't see.

The man on his knees saw his chance and turned round hitting the gun out of Lucy's hand and punching Simone in the face.

"Fuck!" Simone yelled grabbing her face.

The guy grabbed the gun and pointed it on the four of them. Connor, Murph and Simone pointed theirs on him.
"Drop the fucking gun ass hole!" Simone yelled. Connor and Murph both came closer.

"What are you doing here?" Murph asked
"None of yer fucking business!" Lucy answered.

"Simone get out of the way, I can hit him if you move." Lucy hissed at her sister.

Murphy didn't wait for Simone to move and tried to shoot the man as he was standing, he missed!

"What the Fuck are you doing?" Simone turned round too look at him.
"I was trying to shoot that prick!" Lucy came to the side of Murphy and hit him on the shoulder. "Don't fire a gun if you don't know how to! Idiot! You could have shot my sister!"

"Let me handle it." Simone said putting her hand on Murph's shoulder.

Simone didn't look at the man when she raised her arm to point it, Lucy smiling at her sister. She kept looking Connor in the eyes and pulled the trigger.

"Bulls eye Simone, right between his eyes." Lucy said impressed.

Connor didn't say a word but Murph was impressed as well
"I only missed because I was distracted ok!"

"yeah yeah yeah McManus. Now tell us, why were you here?"

"Only if you tell us why you are here." Murph answered Lucy.

"Ah!" Simone grabbed her head and screamed in agony as a Preminition hit her. Only this time it didn't hit Lucy.

Lucy was amazed that her sister was having a PTB moment and she wasn't. Not that she envied her; it was like watching a tape fast-forward while having a hot spike driven through the side of your head.

"What's wrong?" Murphy and Connor both moved on Simone to help her but Lucy stepped in-between them. "Back off!" She said pointing her gun at them.

"What?" Connor pulled off his mask.

"Leave her for a moment." Lucy said still pointing her gun.

Simone saw images fast forwarding. Again she screamed. Simone dropped on her knees actually crying because of the pain.
She saw 3 people... she recognized one as Lucy. The other two turned round and smiled at Simone. It were Connor and Murph. Connor stuck his hand out to her. Another image flew by. A man on his knees and the four of them pointing their guns at him.
Another image. Home.. Connor by the fire place... Image; Lucy and Murph laughing and talking.

The Preminition ended and she fell forward passing out.

"That must have been a doozy." Lucy said while bending forward to tend to her sister.

"Ok what the fuck just happened here!" Connor waited for an answer but Lucy was to busy tending to Simone.
As she didn't answer Murphy lent forward and put his hand on her shoulder, the second he touched her again he was hit by the electrical shock.

Lucy felt someone touch her and she loaded her gun an aimed. "Back the fuck off! That's the last time i'm telling ya!" She grabbed hold of Simone and started to drag her out the door.
Connor followed. "We just want to help." He said looking at Lucy.

"Just leave us!" Lucy yelled. Her sister got heavier by the moment.
"Connor..." Simone moaned.
"Aye?" Connor sped over to her, making Lucy sigh.
"I saw." Simone said opening her eyes. "What you do..." Connor widened his eyes then looked at Lucy. 'We need to talk about this."
"Like hell we will." Lucy picked Simone up and walked out.

"Don't worry man. We will talk to them tomorrow." Murph said slapping Connor on his shoulder.

Simone was in the car leaning back with her eyes closed, that moment had hurt like a bastard.

"Ok so you mind telling me what just happened in there?! We never ever had preminitions apart from each other! What did you see?"

Simon opened her eyes and looked at her sister. "I saw Connor and Murphy doing the same thing as we do! Difference is I think they enjoy it and are in it on their own free will!"

"Free will? What kind of sick people are they? It's so like us to meet people like that."
"Aye... that wasn't all though."
"What else did you see then?"
"Us enjoying it as well, shooting people holding hands with them. Then I saw Connor at our place... and you and Murph sitting on the couch holding hands."
"You saw that? Sorry but I will never enjoy it. I hate doing this."
"Aye me too. All though I must say it gives me sort of a kick to know we erased another evil out of this world."
Lucy looked at her sister. "You do?"
"Aye..." Simone said, now closing her eyes again. Trying to get that image of Connor back into her mind.

Lucy said nothing more as she drove back to their house, enjoying what she did? That was a hard concept to grasp. She was glad that it was only criminals that they went after but thoroughly enjoying it wasn't something that she would do.
Her mind went back to Simones words: and you and Murph sitting on the couch holding hands......She liked him but she didn't know how this would play out.

Simone just leant back, the image of Connor smiling at her and holding pout his hand calmed her down.

The next morning Simone and Lucy sat at the kitchen table reading the newspaper when their doorbell rung. "I'll get it." Simone said standing up

outside stood Connor and Murph. "Hello." Simone said looking at them.
"We need to talk." Connor said taking one step forward.
Simone wanted to decline but Lucy appeared behind her.
"Aye, I would like to hear what they have to say."
Simone let them both inside, she felt Connor softly brushing against her when he walked by and she had to smile.

The four of them sat down and just looked at each other for a few moments.
Murphy was fidgeting with his lighter and kept throwing looks at Lucy.
Lucy was pretending she didn't see Murphy looking at her and stared at the wall.
Simone was trying to think of a way to start their conversation without sounding like a complete wack job... So been shooting people long have you? The question popped up in her head and she had to smile what if she would just go out and ask tem that?
Connor looked at Simone, what was that smile on her face?

Simone decided to just ask it but Lucy cut in.
"So... tell us then."
For a moment Simone thought she was going to ask the very thing she thought of.

"Why don't you start?" Murphy asked
"Because we weren't the ones who wanted to talk." Lucy said crossing her arms.

"Well we... we kill evil men."

"Ok you kill evil men, but why?" Lucy was now looking from one to the other before looking at Simone.

"Well... our father was a...he killed evil men and we kind of rolled into it a few years back. There are men in this world who get away with things they shouldn't, we right the wrongs that are done to innocent people" Murphy looked at Lucy. "I think it's basically the same thing you do."

Lucy paused for a moment; she didn't know what too say.
Simone cut in on that point. "Actually I don't think it's the same thing, we don't do it because we think we have to."

"Then why do you do it?" Connor asked.

"Because we get these premonitions... it tells us where and when. And we go because we have to answer to bigger powers."

"Bigger powers?" Murph asked looking confused.

'Aye. Powers that be." Lucy said. "But we don't enjoy doing it."

"I don't always like it. It just gives me a good feeling to have rid the world of yet another evil." Connor said

"But we get the message from the PTB you decide for yourself who is evil and who isn't! Don't you think that's a little weird? A little psycho?" Lucy looked at Connor but before he could say anything Murphy had to laugh out load. "That's the same thing Rocco said!" He smiled at Connor.

"Who's Rocco?" Simone looked at Connor. "He was our friend and he helped us out with the cause. We lost him a few years back." Connor looked back at her with a gloomy expression on his face

"Well Rocco was right then." Lucy said
"Maybe he is."
"How do you decide whose evil?" Simone asked

"Do not rape do not steal, these are principals which every man of every fate can embrace." Murph replied

"Only real evil men will be sent to what ever god they wish." Connor finished

"Ok so you quote a bible passage to see who is evil?" Lucy was amazed "how can you take a mans life based on a pretty saying? I don't get it!?"

Simone put her hand toward Lucy. "Calm down, let them explain."
Lucy looked at her for a second. "I don't need to hear any more, they go out and shoot people who they think are evil. That is not good it makes them no more than the common murderer!" She got up from the table and as she did so did Murphy with an angry look on his face.

"Oh I see and what you do is right? You're just as much as a murderer as I am. Only difference is you get your messages from the PTB what ever the hell that may be."

Lucy stormed out of the kitchen into the garden, she needed fresh air. Murph followed her.

Simone looked at the door and back to Connor.

"What do you think of all this?" Connor asked

Simone looked into his gorgeous eyes... Someone with eyes that beautiful couldn't be a truly evil man.

"I don't know, I like you that is a given but i'm having a bit of trouble wrapping my head round this. This is getting way to complicated way to fats. How am I supposed to get round the fact that according to what is passes down to me I might have to shoot you one day? Lucy is right you know, according to what we have to live by you two are murderers, the powers don't make that big of a distinction when it comes to taking lives." Connor leant forward and took her hand.

Instantly Simone received yet another Preminition.

Connor looked at her jerking her head back. "LUCY!" Connor yelled but no response came back. Simone fell off her chair and Connor catched her, they sat on the floor together, Connor waited for her to come back.

Lucy fell onto the damp grass holding onto her head.

"What's wrong?" Murph asked looking at her.

Images flowed through her mind. Connor and Murph were being attacked, 2 men laughing as they shot them in the head. Image; Simone and lucy screamed and cried as they watched them kill the brothers. They were covered in blood and bruises.

Simone came back to reality. "No..." Simone said looking at Connor.

"JESUS FUCK! Simone!" Lucy yelled still lying on the grass holding onto her head. Murphy crouched donw beside her and held on to her shoulders.

Simone was still looking at Connor when she heard her sister yell, she scrambled on to her feet and made her way outside.
She found her sisterthere in Murphy's arms, she bent down and looked at her sister.
"This is getting to much! i dont know if i can take much more!" Lucy said looking ate her sister with watery eyes. "What did we just see?"
