Chapter eight:
Peacemaker
Back at home, Christian says that he's going to pay a visit to a friend who wants to talk to him. Gloria is fine with that, and Christian heads over to his friend's house. What was his name? We'll call him Jason. As Christian enters Jason's apartment, Jason tackles Christian. "YOU DIRTY MOTHERFUCKER!" Christian is startled. "What the fuck did I do?" Jason pulls a revolver from his belt. "You let one of... Them... Into your home!" "What the fuck problem do you have with Gloria?" Jason stepped back, his revolver still at the ready. "One of those religious folk. We made a promise as children that we'd never let some god control us!" Christian was furious. "I LOVE HER!" Jason rose his gun. Christian quickly struck Jason's inner arm, causing him to fire a bullet that just barely missed Christian's left ear. Dropping the gun, Christian quickly grabbed it. "You son of a bitch, you tried to kill me!" Jason looked Christian in the eye. "You kill that girl, or I kill you. I nearly killed her myself, last night when you were screaming about White boys and Black girls. I couldn't get a clear shot." Christian gasped and looked around the room. Sniper rifles and other guns hung from the walls, and he saw some molotov cocktails on a table. "You... You're an assassin!" Christian was angry and confused. "Peacemaker", Jason corrected. Christian looked back at Jason. "I don't care what you are, but you're the reason this world's so fucked up." Christian pointed the revolver at the Peacemaker's face. Click. Click, click, click. Jason smirked. "I take precautions." Christian held the gun by its tip and pistol-whipped Jason across the face with the barrel and handle of the gun, knocking him back. Christian said "I also like to take precautions." He pulled a bullet out of his back pocket and loaded the gun. He didn't shoot. He called the police, and the cops raided the place. Jason was taken away, and Christian returned home, scared, and told Gloria about Jason. She cried and fell into Christian's arms. They slept well that night.
