The Knightmare Begins

[Wild Eagle]

"WELL IS THIS ALL THAT IS IN THIS ROOM!" a large thuggish looking man shouted as he booted over the soup stand. Hank jumped to his feet grabbing a nearby pole as away to defend himself. "Well lookie herre seems dat guy fances himshelf a bit of a hero." Another thug said as he walked into the room this one looking quite malnourished. The larger of the two thugs grabbed the soup vendor and placed a gun to his head while shouting "WELL WE JUST WANT YOUR CREDITS HAND EM OVER AND WE MIGHT NOT SHOOT". Father Manson came out of the container with Charles right behind him "What is this? you realise this is a Zoner station and this room in particular is a chapel don't you?" Manson asked while moving his hands behind his back. The two thugs look at each other then the little one claimed "Wees ar rogues yous gives all da creds or wees gunna shoot yall." Hank couldn't just stand there feeling like he was the only one who could do something since he had a weapon, He charged straight at the little rogue who easily overpowered Hank throwing him back across the room. The sound of Charles readying his gun as he pointed it at the larger of the rogues was unmistakable "Let the guy go turn around and leave." Charles said while trying to stay his hand. "YOU GOTS THE SAME LOOK THOSE COPS DO WHEN THEY SCARED AND WON'T SHOOT." The big one shouted as he let the soup vendor go and faced his pistol at Charles. "No says you gets to live guy." The little rogue laughed as he pulled a pistol out and aimed at the fleeing soup vendor. Bang the clear noise of a gun shot echoed through the storage room. The little rogue flying out the door and into the wall, Smoke still coming out of the tip of the gun in Father Manson's hands. "I said this was a chapel and yet he showed no sign of repentance, A shame really but lives were spared by removing him." Father Manson said while lowering his gun. The big rogue turned red in the face and through his arms around as he took aim on father Manson but before he could pull his trigger another gunshot echoed in the room and the rogue collapsed. " How could you do that Charles? Hank whimpered as he pulled himself back onto his feet. Charles dropped his smoking gun and looked over to Hank "It felt like the right thing to do." he said still shaking from the high amount of adrenaline pumping through his body.

Father Manson picked up Charles's gun from the floor looked over at the two of them and said "Well that was something that hasn't happened in a while, But Charles I think I found a solution to your problem." The two men looked at father Manson hanging on his every word "How about you run the chapel for me while I am away?". Both men just stood there shocked at this ludicrous idea. "Um okay let us start with the biggest problem I can see with this I'm not religious in anyway and I just killed a man." Charles blurted out speaking before thinking. Father Manson burst into laughed once more "Son this chapel isn't so much a religious thing as it is just reminding people to do what is right, Your actions just now proved you can do what must be done for the greater good. The only other thing you really have to do is listen to people all they really want is someone to listen and not judge them, I believe you doing that would do you a world of good as well." Charles looked at father Manson who was still holding his gun and then started to walk off towards the corridor saying " I'm gonna think bout it as I throw up okay back in a minute." Hank shook his head in disbelief while saying " Are you sure you want him to be a priest father? I mean I know I asked you to help but this might be a bit much, Think about it just this morning the guy was drunk and now he has killed someone." Father Manson just laughed again and answered "I told only ten minutes ago that this universe isn't black and white Charles killing that rogue means a lot of people will live their lives without suffering because of that man, And this does seem like the job he needs one which will get him to calm down and put things in perspective. Also give him two weeks of doing this and you can tell him the truth in confession I am positive by then he will take it well."

"Well father you know best I am going to get some rest tell Charles to give me a call in the morning. Oh and you never did say where you were going?" Hank said while moving to the door. Charles almost bumping into Hank in the entry obviously hearing that last part turned saying "Yeah I will take the job if you tell me why you are leaving it." Father Manson smiled saying "Okay I suppose that is fair I'm heading out with some other Zoners to Freeport eleven to help out over there as I hear they don't have a preacher so don't worry I will be coming back but Charles if you do a good job I'm sure we can just work side by side when I return. I that a good enough answer?" With that Hank nodded and walked off down towards the elevator. " Now son you might need this back " father Manson said while handing the gun back over to Charles " You get people from all walks of life coming in here and you need to remember to not be judgemental, But keep in mind while the universe is quite a moral grey area you should still do what you think is right. Keep in mind to what might sound strange to you at first might be because your sense of reality is wrong. Gah listen to me now I'm sounding like a proper Zoner. " After another hour or so of father Manson going over things with Charlies and introducing him to the Zoners in charge of the station he said his goodbyes and readied his things for the trip to Freeport eleven.
