Part one: Chapter two: The stone cold truth.
Matt stood there, looking down at the body of the kid.
"'The past is a gaping hole' whoever came up with that line was an idiot. As I stood here, trying to figure out the why of what I had done, I realized that the truth was, for the past year I had been looking for someone to put a bullet in my head. Maybe I thought this was the best way to do it, maybe this was just "Heroes instinct" either way I was dead the moment I pulled that trigger."
Matt turned and faced the two "Call the cops, stay low, tell them what really happened." he quickly said heading out the door reloading his revolver.
"I knew there was no way in this corrupt city I was going to get to the trial if I got arrested, I was going to have to fight my way out of this, or lay down and die, I think I'm going to go with the former though."
Matt ran to his nearby apartment holstering his revolver, as he reached his door he quickly threw it opened and locked it behind him.
As he entered the living room he saw Jacob holding a gun to him.
"Oh, its you." He said lowering it.
"What happened out there? I heard gun shots come from the bar!" Jacob quickly asked.
"This kid was about to be caught in the crossfire between me and the entire mob, as much as I pretended to not give a shit, I wasn't going to have anyone else die for me."
"Jacob, grab your shit and get out of here, the Don's son is dead and I was the trigger man." Matt said grabbing his extra ammo from his bag.
"Jesus Christ man, Why did you shoot him?" Jacob asked in a near panic.
"Momentary slip of judgement, now get out of here!" Matt replied.
"No, we're just gonna sit down and wait for the cops..."
"The cops? What a joke..." Matt thought to himself.
Right then a grenade broke through the window and started to roll towards them, Matt threw Jacob aside and kicked it back out, from the street he expected an explosion only to find out that it was a smoke grenade.
"They're here..." Matt thought to himself.
"Look we can just hide in another apartment, chances are they don't know what you look like!" Jacob said in a minor panic.
"I'm a one legged, sixty-five year old cyclops, that plan isn't going to work." Matt replied.
"As I looked down in to the street, I saw a rather small group of people enter the apartment complex, followed by screaming and a gun shot..."
"Jacob, go to another apartment! If they catch you with me we're both going to end up killed!" Matt yelled at him.
"No! I'm staying with you!" he replied.
"I don't know why this kid seemed so dedicated to me, I didn't ask for his loyalty and I didn't want it.."
Matt heard foot steps outside his apartment door, they knew where they where.
"As I looked in to the kids eyes, I saw a mixture of fear, courage, and sadness... This kid reminded me of my self before all of this shit..."
"Follow me and stay close." Matt said heading towards the door.
Matt quietly walked up to the door, hearing them close to it trying to decide who goes in first, Matt kicked the door open slamming it in to two of the men, one directly in front of the door stumbled, one behind the door got knocked on his ass, and one started to aim at Matt.
As Matt walked out of the door he quickly aimed and fired at the person untouched by the door firing one round in to his neck, he swing the revolver forward and shot the man in front of the door three times in his chest. Then he stepped around the door not missing a beat and shot the man on the ground in the head.
Matt continued down the hall way when he heard five gun shots from behind, he turned expecting to be riddled with bullets to find Jacob had shot someone coming at them from down the hall.
Matt reloaded his revolver, and then holstered it picking up the pistol dropped by one of the men he just shot.
"As much as I loved the old girl, she did have her disadvantages... Three years ago I would have considered a more... Subtle and none lethal approach... Right now I just couldn't find it in my soul to give a damn.."
As they continued down the stair case Matt kept the pistol level, taking the corners very quickly, then he heard foot steps coming up from below, Matt rushed down the stairs and met the person on the floor below his apartment.
The man tried to put his pistol to Matt's head, Matt grabbed it with his free hand pushing it up and out of the way, the gun fired, missing Matt's face, grabbing the heated up slide and twisting the gun out of the mans hand he put his pistol to the mans gut and fired four times, passing through him and the man behind him.
They went down to the lobby to find the front door abandon, they quickly exited it and stopped in the street expecting trouble.
"How quickly this day went from bad to worst surprised me, it wasn't even five in the evening and I already had the hang over from hell."
"I have a friend who lives on the other slide of the plaza, we can stay there." Matt said dropping the extra pistol.
"If you can conceal that thing, do it." Matt told Jacob, who put his pistol in his waste band under his coat.
As they entered the plaza they spotted three police officers patrolling the area.
"Play it cool, they may not give us a problem..." Matt said as they continued walking.
"Today went from bad to worst, I was quickly racking up the charges by the hour, I didn't want to add assault of a police officer to it..."
The officers started to move towards them, holding Civil protection style Stun batons.
As the officers blocked their paths. Jacob asked: What seems to be the problems officers?"
Suddenly one of the officers charged them, trying to bring the stun baton down on Matt's head. Matt grabbed the baton with his right hand, bringing a quick punch to the officers gut with his left, he quickly disarmed the cop, spun around and jabbed him from behind with the stun baton, effectively tazing him. Matt flipped the stun baton around and deflected a blow from the second cop with it, countering with another quick jab to the gut with the stun baton, knocking him out of the fight as well.
Matt turns to see Jacob punch down the third cop, the two of them run out of the plaza before more officers can get out of the Nexus.
