Shooting Range

Naoto and Kyme walked into the building that is the shooting range. It was what you would expect from an indoor shooting range, a number of stalls lined up with targets about fifty feet down range. There were two men, one looked about fourty- something, while the other looked to be in high school. They were both holding pistols and shooting them down range - the thing is, they weren't just shooting the pistols like normal people, it looked as if they were in a competition to see who can shoot in the craziest way possible. They were spinning and flipping and doing all sorts of dangerous manuvers with their guns.

This went on for about three more minutes. Naoto watched skepticaly while Kyme just looked awestruck - nobody knows what was going on in her head at the moment.

Then, the shooting stopped, and the men put down their guns and reeled in the targets. The girls were absolutely shocked, despite all of those crazy tricks, all of the younger one's bullets ended up in such a tight grouping that it was impossible to tell the different holes apart. The older one had a similar deal, except one of his holes was slightly detached from the rest.

"Hah! looks like I win again, dad!"

"Yes, next time I will win, though!" So, was this some weird kind of father-son bonding going on here?

Then the dad leaves, leaving just the two girls and the boy, who is just admiring his handiwork. The boy was a little taller than average, had black, messy hair, and wore red pants instead of the uniform's standard black ones. Oh, right, like Kyme, he opted to wear his uniform during the summer as well. Kyme said she might as well wear it all of the time if she was going to wear it so often.

Kyme cannot contain her excitement any longer, "That was so cool!"

"Huh? Oh, I didn't hear you guys walking in," He looks up from his target at the girls.

"That's because you were too busy being cool!" Kyme looked very timid when she introduced herself, but not now.

"Oh, you like my pistol skills?" He almost blushes, but manages to stay cool.

Naoto jumped in before this conversation went on a tangent, "I'm sorry to interrup this... 'moment,' but I have to ask, how did you get that gun?" She is referring to the Desert Eagle handgun that the boy used in his 'demonstration.'

He rubs his hand over the gun, "Oh, this? My dad was in the army, which is where we got it. And since he owns this range I can use it in here, but not anywhere else. I'd need to be a cop for that."

At this, Kyme's face showed a look that screamed 'I have an idea!,' "You know, you could fix that!"

"Uh, what do you mean, also, I noticed you two seem to be packing." He gestured to the pistols each of them had.

"What I mean is, we're both cops, so I'm sure it would be no trouble if..,"

He looked shocked. Even though it supposedlyhad been common knowledge that Naoto was a member of the police force for years. "Wait, what?! You're cops? But, you're still in high school - I mean, i've seen you two in the halls before!"

Then Naoto took over the conversation again, "Yes, we are both members of the police force, despite our ages. I believe what Kyme here is saying, it that she wants you to join. After seeing your proficency with the pistol, I would have to agree."

"Wait, you say you want me to join? But I know nothing about the law! And how would I even do that?!"

"The same way Kyme here did, just sign up."

"Come on! It'll be fun!" Kyme adds.

"... Fine. Where do I sign up?" He finally gives in to the pressure. And, why not? It's not like anything serious happens here.

"Well, we were going to go back to the station when we finished here, so you can tag along. Also, what's your name? You never told us." Naoto was right, they never actually had a proper introduction.

"Oh, right. I'm Marzeal Wesker, nice to meet you. And you guys are..?" Naoto and Kyme introduce themselves, and after about an hour of shooting practice with Marzeal, they all went back to the police station to sign him up.

Author's Notes:

Another chapter introducing an OC, this time it's Marzeal Wesker. The OC's I've introduced so far have all come from my friend R4z0R, a big thanks to him.

If you have any questions, comments, or suggestions, please semd me a review of PM containing them.

As always, I'll see ya tomorrow.
