Chapter 390
.
Eve wandered around D.C. She entered into a game of Russian roulette for more heroin. Eve and the other girl each put up their two pills in bet. Eve put the gun to her head first, not sure if she wanted to live or die. She won, her opponent lost. Around 4pm a few people gathered around her. She wasn't sure if they wanted to shoot her for war crimes. It took her a minute to realize one of them was Benson.
.
Eve: What do you want?
Benson: You're help. Rumor is you work for the warlord/arms-dealer Caeser.
Eve: I stole food and water from him and murdered at least one other guard. I doubt the job is still waiting for me.
Benson: But you can tell me about his defenses. My friends and I are planning to take those weapons for the final battle. Prsident Walker wants to slay Mason, the time for temporary alliances is just about over.
Eve: Fair enough. All Caeser's men are high on drugs, that's how he controls them.
Benson: Is that how you got hooked on, whatever drug you use?
Eve: I took his heroin because I wanted to dull the pain. Are you going to kill me?
Benson: No, but I'm not sure I can get you clean.
Eve: How am I still alive, after everything I've done?
Benson: My father used to say that if it's not your time a million ways can't kill you. If it is your time it only takes one.
Eve: So God keeps me alive. Why? Does he want me to suffer for all I've done?
Benson: I don't know, maybe.
Eve: If you make it to the Millenial kingdom, how wiIl you deal with the guilt?
Benson: I don't know. I guess I'll find out.
Eve: Feel free to use me as a cautionary tale against, whatever.
