I’m
getting tired of this shit,
Nate thought to himself as he kneeled behind the dumpster. His prey, the young
Mexican who’d been buying drugs from the boys in blue at the precinct’s
evidence room, had been fucking his girlfriend in the apartment above him for
two hours now. Nate absent-mindedly pulled a Marlboro from within his leather
vest as he wiped the sweat from his forehead. He’d been stalking this damned
wetback for several days after having found out that he was the main drug
supplier at the cesspool that people called a nightclub. The Pit, Nate ponders, That
damned place sure as hell lives up to its name.
Nate
lowered his head, pulling out a vial of holy water. He mumbled a prayer,
annointing himself in Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ’s name. Concentrating
on The Holy Power of the One above, Nate let himself receive a vision from the
Lord. In his mind, he could see the dark hallways of the run-down apartment
building. The hallways were abandoned, and Nate was sure that now was the time
to act.
Tiring
of the heat, Nate decided to end this once and for all. He rose from the
slime-encrusted pavement. He quickly ran to the front door of the complex, his
leather boots quietly spashing in the puddles on the pavement. Glancing around,
he quickly opens the door and quietly but hurriedly finds his way to his
prey’s apartment on the second floor.
Finding
himself in the shadows outside his prey’s apartment door, Nate scratched his
chin, kneeling and preying. He rose, approaching the door. He mumbles a brief
prayer and smiles upon hearing the clicks of
the door’s many locks opening by the will of God.
Quietly,
he stalked into the darkened apartment. He could already hear the squeaking and
moaning within the sinner’s bedroom. He frowned as he smelled the marijuana
smoke in the air, and then smiling, he pulled his sawed-off shotgun from its
holster on his back.
The
young Mexican quickly screamed as Nate burst the bedroom door down, rising up on
the bed from his position in between the young Mexican girl’s legs. The girl
screamed as well, swiftly pulling the bedsheets over herself in order to attempt
to salvage what little pride she had left. The young man quickly started cursing
in Spanish, reaching over for the revolver on the nightstand. He almost managed
to grab it before Nate raised his shotgun, leveling it at the young man. The
young man, however, did manage to grab his gun, quickly pointing it at Nate
before shrieking in pain as the gun exploded in flames in his hand.
Nate
shook his head somewhat, sighing as the young man cowers in fear and pain on the
bed. Nate glared at the woman, motioning at the door. “Leave. NOW,” he
shouted at her. She hurriedly did so.
The
young man cried somewhat. “PLEASE, DON’T….. OH MY GOD…. Oh god….
PLEASE DON’T….” Nate lowered his sunglasses somewhat, the bright, glowing
red crucifixes in his eyes clearly obvious now. “Then the LORD rained upon
Sodom and upon Gomorrah brimstone and fire from the LORD out of heaven,” Nate
shouted as he drew his bead upon the young man with the shotgun, his
trigger-finger starting to clench up.
And
it did rain upon the poor young man that night.
