Shot through my heart (Far Cry 5 fanfiction)

First Kiss

Paige and John's first kiss

"Are you sure you want to do this Deputy?" Pastor Jerome asked me while we were sitting in the Bar planning our next steps. It's been only a couple of weeks since we came to Hope County. But the Resistance already was on a good way. At least her in Holland Valley.

"It's the best way to get most of the Valley back. And one step closer to get the whole County back.", I said confidently.

"The place is heavily guarded. Even more than any other place in the Valley. There is no way you can do this alone" Mary May said. Even though it was her idea in the first place, I get why she was worried. It was a risky plan.

"I know it's risky and dangerous, but if I go with more people they will see us. When I go alone I can make sure they don't even see me coming, I'm good at sneaking, better than in an open fight. I can do this."

Mary May looked at me still questioning my plan. "I have no doubt that you can do this, but what if he's there? It's his home after all. There is a high potential that he will be there."

Of course, I have thought of it. But I didn't found an answer yet.

They both just looked at me, waiting for me to say something.

"I will of course fight him. I can handle him." Even though I knew I probably won't. John Seed is not such an easy target as you may think. And honestly, he really scares me. More than Joseph, Jacob, or even Faith. There were all very scary and crazy, but John, he's another level of scary and crazy. I had to experience it out of first hand when tried to drown me that night by the river. I could not only see, no, also feel he enjoyed it. And if Joseph wouldn't have stopped him, I think he would've been doing this all night.

"Listen guys.", I began, "I know you two think it's too dangerous and risky. And it probably is, but if we want the Holland Valley back in our hands, we have to take over John Seed's Ranch. That would help the resistance. And therefore, Nick told me that his plane is probably there, and he needs that plane to escape with Kim. I want them to be safe" I explained. "And it was your Idea Mary May, so why shouldn't we try it?"

Pastor Jerome still looked at me like I would be crazy. And maybe I am, but that's a different story. Mary May just sighed and said: "I don't think there is much 'trying' in that but if you really want to do this, we won't stop you. Not that we actually could. Just be careful Dep."

"I will", I assured them "Don't worry about me" There was silence for a moment. I knew they still didn't want me to do this, but I know that I had to, if I wanted to save Hudson and the others.

"When will you go?" Pastor Jerome asked, after a while of silence.

"Tonight", I answered, "It's better when I have the darkness on my side."

I finished my drink and then left the bar. It was time to prepare myself. What I didn't know yet was, that this was about to be a long night.

It wasn't so hard to get inside. I took down most of the guards outside. I know I needed to take the rest of them out to take over the Ranch, but If I was already inside, I could also look around a little bit. And that meant looking through John's personal stuff. Even if John was a sadistic psychopath, I couldn't deny, he also was kind of an interesting character. And I knew if I wanted to get to know more of his personality, it was better to look now. Later the resistance would have probably burned most of his stuff anyway.

I found a few Papers on a table in the main hall. Most of them were not actually interesting. Notes about the collapse, Cult members asking John stuff. But then I stumbled over a note on the sofa that was far more interesting.
