They've Returned (Sequel to Fallen For The Savior)

Chapter 11

I was standing beside Murph still, my head on his shoulder has he draped his arm around my shoulders and I was holding onto his hand in front of me with Romeo and Connor beside us. I couldn’t stop the giggle that came out when George started babbling in front of us about being born again after all that. “Should we let him go,” Murph asked from beside me as we looked over at Connor while he placed his gun on the inside of his coat. “You know what I think we should do,” Connor asked as he walked forward while digging in his coat to reveal a revolver, “I think we should let God decide if he gets a second chance.” I bit my lower lip as I watched Connor pour the bullets that had been in the gun.

I glanced up at Murph to see he was watching Connor as well and I turned my attention back to them when I heard the sound of the revolver cocking. “You had best be right with your Jesus boy,” I heard Connor say as I held back another giggle from the sight of George’s face. Seriously thought he was gonna shit himself again when the gun clicked and Connor removed it from his head. “Well,” Connor shouted as he turned around from George and made his way back over to us, “praise be to Jesus!” I was biting back the laugh that was bubbling inside threating to come out as he stumbled around, probably in shock. “Georgie,” I said smiling still fighting with the laugh, “you know all good boys go to heaven?”

“You know that was perhaps one of the finest examples of spiritual guidance I’ve ever had the good fortune to witness,” Murph said as he crossed himself being a smartass. “It was wonderful wasn’t is,” Connor said boasting while I rolled my eyes, “mysterious ways I tell ya. Mysterious ways.” “Was there even a bullet in the damn gun,” I asked shaking my head as Connor held it out for me to see that there indeed was a bullet inside, “you know sometimes I wonder what I’ve gotten myself into with you two idiots.” “Aye,” Murphy said as he slowly leaned down and gave me a light peck, “but ya know ya love us for being idiots.” I felt Murphy tighten his arm around my shoulder as he pulled back and I bit my lower lips as I stared up into his blue eyes.

But our moment was interrupted by a woman walking in through the door George had entered with her gun up and firing in our direction but I immediately heard gun fire coming from behind us as Murphy pushed me to the ground out of the line of fire. I felt Murphy place himself over me to keep me from getting hit as I watched Connor drag Rome down too. I placed my hands over my head, my eyes tightly closed as I waited for this all to end. I’ve never been shot at so this was a new feeling and I didn’t like it one bit.

When the gun fire stopped, I felt Murph jumped up and looked to see Connor had too and they both had their guns drawn on the lady while Rome grabbed his and went after whoever she had been shooting at to begin with. “Put it down,” I heard Connor shout. “Drop the gun,” Murphy shouted as well while I just stayed on the floor, scared. “Put the God damned gun down right fucking now,” Connor shouted as I looked over to see she had her hands up and slowly backed away to place her gun down then stepped away from it. “Easy fellas,” she said as I finally stood up and placed my hand on his arm causing him to look back at me.

“He’s gone,” Romeo said running back into the room after a few minutes as I looked over at him then to Connor. “Who the fuck are you,” he asked, his and Murphy’s guns still raised. “My name is Eunice Bloom,” she said, “and I’m your new guardian angel. The torch was passed to me by a mutual friend.” I couldn’t place my finger on it but she looked familiar and that name added to the familiarity. “A mutual friend,” Murph said, “by the name of fucking who?” “Paul Maximillion fucking Smecker,” she said and that’s when it clicked. I watched as Murphy turned to look at Connor, his gun lowering slightly as Connor nodded then looked to Agent Bloom in front of us. “We heard,” Murphy said as he lowered his gun completely and wrapped a comforting arm around me as I bit back tears, “he was a good man.” “Aye,” Connor said nodding as he glanced to me, “ya have our condolences.”

“And you mine,” she said then looked to me, “you too Miss Whittier. I’m sorry about your uncle.” I nodded as Romeo started getting worked up. “Who the fuck was that guy,” he shouted as I glanced over at him. “That I suspect was the shooter you have been looking for,” she said calmly. I zoned out a second while she and Rome had a little argument but tuned back in as soon as Murphy squeezed my shoulders so I caught the last of their argument. “I am an FBI Agent controlling this investigation from within,” she said in a matter of fact tone, “in order to insure that you gentlemen never see the inside of a prison cell. Now I am conspiring to do this with three likeminded individuals who have aided you in the past. Though I have yet to inform them of my agenda cause well, a girl’s gotta have her fun.”

I smiled knowingly at Agent Bloom. I knew who she was talking about, Dolly, Duffy, and Greenly. But I hadn’t seen them since Uncle Paul died. “Dolly, Duffy, and Greenly,” Murphy asked smiling as he knew what I was thinking too. “The very same,” she said smiling as I stepped away from Murphy’s arm and grabbed his hand, intertwining our fingers together. “How are the lads doin’,” Connor asked as I looked over at him smiling. “Two of them are scared,” she said taking off her coat, “one’s just horny.” “Bet I can guess who,” I said smiling up at Murphy as he laughed. “Bet you can,” she said nodding, “but let’s save that for later. Right now we’ve got a big problem.” “What’s that then,” Connor asked. “This simply won’t do,” she said motioning around at the dead bodies.

I probably misspelled Smecker's middle name but I'll be the first to tell ya I'm not the best when it comes to spelling so yea anyway carry on ;)
