Chapter 7: The new priest of the old church

Chloe was in the hospital, she was looking down at Rachel who was in the bed. She was hooked up to several machines which pumped blood into her body and monitored her heartbeat. She looked down at the unconscious Rachel who was still in critical condition after being shot, the bullet got stuck in her body and shredded one of her kidneys open.

"I want you dead...I want it so bad. Just to pull one of these plugs and let your heart stop or take out my gun and put it to your heart. I will hold it there as I gently squeeze the trigger, the bullet will do even more damage but it would certainly end your life you murderous bitch." Chloe said as she looked at Rachel, holding her fist tight, ready to act out her fantasy.

The song Roxanne by the Police comes on the radio. Chloe didn't even notice the radio was on but it broke her train of thought. She turned around and Roxanne was stood in the doorframe, walking in very slowly.

"I've always liked that song." Roxanne said as she walked up to the bedside, looking at the girl. She seemed more concerned than Chloe was, more concerned than anyone in the hospital was. She didn't look at her like a mother would look at a child, she was a priest and she did love people no matter what though.

"I didn't realise the radio was on." Chloe commented as she noticed the way Roxanne looked at Rachel.

"Does my hair look ok? I dyed it but….Nevermind, I'm a little weird like that." Roxanne said very awkwardly.

"Why are you here?" Chloe asked.

"Last rights...Why are you here?" Roxanne asked, waving her bible in the air.

"I thought I'd pay her a visit." Chloe asked but her voice was filled with hate, weighed down by it.

In the waiting area Jesse was sat in the corner. He was reading a celebrity magazine that had been left out, he never really liked them but he had to wait until Chloe was done so that he could see Rachel.

"Hi, Jesse Ryan?" Sue asked as she approached the bored teen.

"Yeah, erm...Do I know you?" Jesse asked, he thought he did but wasn't to sure.

"Sue Snell...My old boyfriend was friends with your brother. I was at your party where you set the bin on fire." Sue explained, Jesse chuckled at the thought of that story.

"Yeah, I'm not proud of that." Jesse said.

"Yeah I've done stuff like that." Sue replied, thinking about the stuff that she had done in the past.

"I'm sorry to hear about Tommy and that other guy you were dating..erm." Jesse said, he struggled to think of his name.

"Arthur, yeah thanks...He was very locked off, there's no way I could have helped him." Sue explained. She knew she shouldn't of said stuff like that but it helped her deal with it.

"Whatever helps us sleep at night...Sorry, I slept with Rachel Lang so….Yeah." Jesse explained very awkwardly, Sue did agree though, it did help her sleep.

"Angel of death me." Sue said, she tried to hide her depression with a chuckle but it didn't work, Jesse knew what was going through her head.

"Hey Jesse, you can go in now." Chloe said as she walked over.

"Good speaking to you." Jesse said as he walked away.

"Bye." Sue said softly. Chloe looked at her and gave a forced smile before walking away.

Chloe was back at the police station. She was working on her computer and trying to sort out a transfer for Rachel but she was still struggling with the problem of nobody being able to hold someone like her.

"Anywhere yet?" Rodney asked. He handed her a cup of coffee but she just put it to the side.

"Can't we just drop her on a deserted island in the middle of the ocean?" Chloe asked. Rodney was hoping she was being sarcastic or trying to make a joke but her empty face made him understand that she just wanted Rachel dead.

"I don't think so, no." Rodney replied.

"...Is she going to trial?" Chloe asked.

"Mass murder." Rodney said. Chloe smiled, it was the first time in a long time but they both knew Rachel would be in a cell for the rest of her life...The only problem was finding somewhere to put her.

"If only we had the death sentence." Chloe replied. Her smile retreated to be replaced with a thrown, it seemed to be her default face.

Flashback

Carrie was at Arthurs house. She had been dropped off by Barbara after Ralph left the bar to see what was going on with Margaret. He seemed startled, terrified even but to drunk to drive, he had been like that for a while now. She and Arthur were now currently going through some CD's.

"The Police?" Carrie asked as she took out the CD.

"Sure." Arthur said. Carrie handed him the CD and he put it in the player. The song Roxanne came on when Arthur pressed play.

"This is by far the best." Carrie said. The two went into each others arms and looked into each others eyes as they listened to Sting sing the lyrics.

"So what happened with you at school today? Was Nolan hitting on you?" Arthur asked. He seemed a little concerned or at least he was hiding most of it. She knew he worried about her and she hated it, he would try and hide it but she knew him to well.

"I don't think he was hitting on me...I think he, um, he was..Wanted." Carrie struggled to admit what happened. Arthur knew what had happened though, he knew she had been through worse.

"Ignore him. He has Sue for that...He just wanted to scare you." Arthur reassured her, she seemed more relaxed now but what happened in the bar still had her a little on edge.

Ralph had got a taxi to drive him back home. He had his bag of weapons by his side and was getting ready for what was going to happen. Barbara had made sure he got a taxi home, she wouldn't let him run with a heavy bag. They were approaching the house, a few more minutes. Ralph started to breath slowly, it got into a rhythm, he was relaxed, he was ready.

Margaret was in the house. She was sat in the living room watching the DVD that the Russians had made her watch. It wasn't a very good video, the camera shook a lot and the sound was very hard to hear but it started to work.

"What do you think?" A figure asked. It was hard to make out at first but it started to become watchable.

Margaret continued to watch. A couple of the gangsters walked by for a quick peek but they left to do something else. Margaret continued watching though, not willing to turn it off. She then saw Ralph come onto screen, he seemed younger. His hair was certainly longer whilst his muscles were considerably bigger. He was truly a younger but different man.

"What are you doing? What the fuck?" The figures screamed out. Margaret started to flinch but then stopped, she didn't want them to have the satisfaction.

There was a sudden knock at the door. One of the Russians walked to the door, he was a little hesitant and had his hand in his pocket where he had stored a gun. He opened the door where Ralph was stood with a sawn off shotgun.

"Он здесь." The Russian yelled. He pulled out the small pistol from his pocket and aimed at Ralph but before he could pull the trigger, Ralph pulled his.

The Russian was blown away, he went across the house. He walked inside and aimed his gun at the Russian in the suit and pulled the trigger. He hit the ground harder than a ton of bricks. His face was in pieces, bleeding and bits were falling off. The other two Russians were running around the house.

Ralph dropped the gun and pulled out a pistol from his bag. He hid another one in his jeans and started to walk round the house. He had a fully loaded Luger in his hand, ready to fire on sight. He stepped into the kitchen and saw one of the rather large Russians. He was holding a small pistol, only a cheap thing he got from a friend. He pulled the trigger but the freshly cleaned gun had unusually jammed. Ralph fired his gun twice. The bullets flew through the air at the speed of a blinking eye. One bullet went straight into the man's lung, tearing through flesh and bone so that it could pierce the lung and settle inside. The second bullet had a much more anarchic journey. It dug its way through the skin and rib, shredding towards the back but then bounced off the spine, the bullet went in an upwards direction and exited through the shoulder.

Ralph turned around, he could hear the final Russian inside his house. He fired three shots at Ralph before he returned fire. Ralph only fired two shots but pulled out his Smith and Wesson revolver. He took a deep breath and turned around, he fired the remaining bullets from his Luger and one from the revolver. He heard a loud thump and walked towards the stairs where blood was dripping from.

Ralph saw the final man on the stairs. He had jumped up on it to be out of sight but Ralph had a hidden talent for dealing with people out of sight. The man had only been hit once by the bullets, it had gone straight into his kidney but he was still alive. Ralph aimed his revolver at the man's head and pulled the trigger, the bullet went straight through his forehead, leaving a large hole.

Ralph walked into the living room. He looked at the bullet holes from when he flicked the bullets, he was surprised by what he could see though. Margaret was still sat in her chair, watching the DVD. Ralph looked at the screen and panicked at what was there, he grabbed the remote and paused it. The television had the image of Ralph in a military outfit, holding a gun but covered in blood.

"What are you?" Margaret asked. She sounded so lifeless, only managing to ask the bare essentials.

"I'm the kind of guy who makes a man's gun jam so that he can kill him first." Ralph said as he put the guns onto the table.

"You're a monster." Margaret stated, she was still blunt and cold.

"That's war for you." Ralph replied. He took all the guns from around the house and put them on one of the chairs.

"Why were they here?" Margaret asked. She could see the corpse of one of them through a reflection, the sight was horrifying.

"I owe them money." Ralph explained as he pulled the bodies into the living room.

"For what?" Margaret asked.

"Stella has probably called the police, if not someone has. They'll be here soon." Ralph explained.

"Carrie can stay at Arthur's tonight." Margaret said. She was stuck in her chair, unable to move.

"I don't like the idea of that." Ralph stated. He looked at the four bodies, he picked one up and took him to the basement.

"Neither do I but I'm not having her exposed to this kind of sin." Margaret said when Ralph returned for the second body.

"This will end soon, I'll make sure of it." Ralph said before walking away.

Present day

Chloe pulled up infront of the church. Roxanne was stood in the graveyard, she was staring at the grave of Carrie White. It had been vandalised beyond repair, the gravestone had been smashed and covered in graffiti.

"Another visit? Have I made a christian of you?" Roxanne asked. Her attention was on the grave, the dirt over it had been damaged as well. Someone had tried digging it up a couple of times, probably for a laugh.

"I need to talk." Chloe said. She was certainly louder and more demanding, it caught the attention of Roxanne.

"Did you ever meet this girl?..So young and yet so dangerous." Roxanne explained. She looked over the grave, it felt weird.

"I want to kill Rachel...Aren't you meant to talk me out of it?" Chloe asked. She was conflicted on what she should do and wanted someone to help her make up her mind.

"Depends...Why are you telling me?" Roxanne asked.

"I need help deciding." Chloe explained. She was staring at the grave, she had never met the girl but she knew who she was.

"No, you want someone to tell you what you should do." Roxanne replied. Chloe remained silent, she knew it was true.

"Did you know there was a massacre in this town years before Carrie? This one was different though. A group of mobsters, god knows how many of them were found dead but all they knew was that it was done by one man. The police think it was her father." Roxanne explained. Chloe noticed how Roxanne looked a lot younger than she did earlier, was it less make-up? There were more important things to think about right now.

"Why didn't they arrest him?" Chloe asked.

"Nobody knows." Roxanne replied.

"So what should I do about Rachel?" Chloe asked. Roxanne looked at Chloe, she gave her a blank expression.

"Rachel Lang is a monster but we have to keep them close to us. Killing her, if you kill her are you better?" Roxanne asked. They looked at the grave for a few more moments whilst Chloe reflected what Roxanne said.

"I always hated what they did to the grave." Sue said as she walked up to the grave.

"What? Where did Roxanne go?" Chloe asked as she looked around. She had disappeared, no trace of her even being there.

"Who?" Sue asked.

"The new priest?" Chloe said but she wasn't even sure anymore.

"I thought they were tearing this place down? I didn't know there was a new priest." Sue admitted as she looked at the grave.

"What's up?" Chloe asked. She decided it wasn't to important right now, Sue might have some vital information.

"I want to talk to you about Rachel. I was in a school program to help out struggling students, I knew her fairly well." Sue explained. She used to volunteer to help out students to learn to read, by volunteer she meant forced to for bullying with the other girls.

"Struggling?" Chloe asked.

"Dyslexic..Needed help to read. What I'm trying to say is, I know she isn't a complete monster...I can help you to try and connect with her." Sue explained. Chloe started to think for a moment and decided it's what she needed to make her decision.

Rachel was in her hospital bed. She was still unconscious, the machines were still monitoring her vitals. The doctor was looking at her chart before exiting the room, it was assumed she would be in a coma for a while longer. Rachel seemed peaceful, relaxed even but then her right ring finger started to twitch, it only lasted for a second but still a second too long.
