(Before you start reading this scene pull up this Video and listen to it while reading this. Its called Padre Nuestros by a group called E Nomine. There is also a German version "Vater Unser" and an English Version "Our Father". Any of those will work, I just prefer Padre Nuestros)
Gabriel knelt before the shrine, his head bowed and his hands clasped in prayer. He knelt for what seemed like hours, locked in prayer. He crossed himself and stood up. Father Michael walked up to him. "I wish you would reconsider this, my son. Going along is suicide." He said. "I wish there was another way, Father, but if the information we have is true then this has to be stopped before Grant gets a chance to activate them." Gabriel said. "Well good luck. Come back home." Father Michael said as he crossed Gabriel. "I will, Father." Gabriel said as he climbed the clock tower to his room. He open his trunk at the foot of his bed and started pulling out different weapons and a set of clothes. He changed into a tight fighting black pair of jeans and a black long sleeve shirt. He slipped into a pair of boots and laced them up. He fitted a few holsters on his body, one on each leg, four on his belt and a shoulder harness. He ran a belt across his chest and adjusted everything to make sure it would fit but not impede his movements. He heard footsteps coming toward him. A familiar figure blocked the doorway. "There is no convincing you that this is a bad idea huh?" A female voice said. Gabriel shook his head, not looking up as he started to pull multiple guns from the trunk. "No, there isn't. Father Michael already tried and I'm telling you the same thing I told him. We have to stop Grant now before he can activate the Horsemen. The 5 of them as they were before were tough, now will be even worse." Gabriel said as he checked his guns. He had multiple pistols of different calibers from a pair of 9mms, 4 .357s and a .44 caliber. He slipped magazines into them and cocked them. He then placed the 9 mms into his thigh holsters. The 4 .357s into his belt holsters and the .44 into his shoulder holster. He pulled out a Dragunov sniper rifle and checked the sighting on it before slipping a magazine into it and loading it. He slung in across his back. He dug a bit more through his trunk and pulled out a sword. A hand covered his on the sword. He looked up. "Gabriel, please. I know I can't convince you, so I'm not going to bother. But just hear me out." Sarah said. She leaned in and gave him a kiss on his lips. "Be careful out there please? I don't care what happens, just come back, Okay? I don't want to lose you." She said. Gabriel straightened up and wrapped his arms around her, holding her head to his chest. "I will, Sarah. I'll come back. I promise." He took her chin and tilted her head up to meet his. He leaned in and returned the kiss to her. He let her go and took the sword and sheathed it on his back. He grab ed a headset with a monocle and slipped it over his right eye. He tiled the monocle out of the way since he wouldn't need it right now. Grabbing Sarah's hand he walked back down into the main room of the church. Ratt was sitting in one of the pews, waiting for Gabriel. "Gabe, there is one thing." Ratt said standing up. "Not you too, Ratt." Gabriel said. "What? All I was going to say is I heard word that the next guard shift is in one hour so we need to get going." Ratt said. "Wait, Gabriel. Take this." Sarah had taken the cross pendant from around her neck. She slipped it around Gabriel's neck and tucked inside his shirt. She gave him a quick kiss. "Good luck tonight." She said. He nodded as they all walked outside the church. Ratt had a van parked out front. "Be Careful, my son." Father Michael said. "I will, Father" Gabriel said as he opened the back of the van and climbed in. Ratt got into the van and they drove off out into the night, toward the city.
Tell me what you think of this so far. I'm open to any and all comments
