Till Death Do Us Part

Chapter 8

Minutes till the annual purge)

(Jordan's POV)

The purge is starting soon. I'm excited! Marshall, and I geared ourselves up in my security room while the news played on the tv. Marshall wore an all black outfit perfect for tonight to hold all guns, and ammo. (Outfit he's wearing in the cover). I switched out my blue jeans to some black ones so I could hold all my stuff on them.

I placed my ammo in the pockets of my belt made just for it, along with Marshall. Then I placed my leather gloves on, and picked out a knife, two guns, then placed them in the pockets for easy access.

"Ready?" I asked Marshall, and he looked at his body making sure he had everything.

"Yeah I guess so" Marshall said.

Earlier Marshall had a long talk on the phone with his daughters, who he sent out of the United States with their mother so they'd be safe. I'm guessing he's still worried about them, by the way he's acting.

"Let's go" I said, and we walked out of my house to my car.

I made sure the walls closed down on the house before backing out of the driveway. Marshall put the radio station on, so he could listen to everyone talking about the purge before it started. I drove us into the city, the first person on my list for tonight is John. He killed my son, but I won't do the same to his son, I'll just get John.

"We wish anyone who is not participating in this years purge, a safe evening, and for those releasing the beast, a successful cleanse. Good luck" A female newscaster said.

"Here we go" I smiled.

"This is not a test. This is your Emergency Broadcast System announcing the commencement of The Annual Purge, sanctioned by the U.S. Government. Weapons of Class 4, and lower have been authorized for use during the Purge. All other weapons are restricted. Government officials of ranking 10, have been granted immunity from the Purge and shall not be harmed. Commencing at the siren, any and all crime, including murder, will be legal for 12 continuous hours. Police, fire, and emergency medical services will be unavailable until tomorrow morning at 7 AM, when the Purge concludes. Blessed be our New Founding Fathers, and America. A nation reborn. May god be with you all" The announcement went off, and the sirens went off, commencing the Purge. I turned off the radio, and looked at Marshall.

"You ready for this?" I asked him.

"Yup" He said, and I stepped on the gas, speeding down the streets.

As I drove down the street I saw these two ladies, most likely a mother, and a daughter, getting taken out of their house. They screamed, and screamed, causing me to get annoyed.

"Fuck.." Marshall mumbled. "Can't we help them?" Marshall asked, and I didn't answer. "Aren't you gonna help them?" Marshall asked.

"Nope" I said, and rolled down my window taking my gun out of my pocket.

I aimed at the two guys in the black suits, instantly killing them both before they could put the women in the truck. Then quickly shot both of the ladies. I put my gun back in my pocket, and rolled up the window.

"Wow, no heart" Marshall mumbled, and I heard it.

"Not at all, they were gonna die anyways, just four more people under my belt" I said.

"And I thought I didn't give a fuck.." Marshall said.

"Mr. Mathers you have a lot to learn about me" I said, and kept driving down the road.

"Help me! Please HELP ME!" A man most likely in his mid twenties, ran out in the middle of the street waving his hands at us.

"Shoot him, Marshall" I said, and rolled down the passenger window.

"I can't do that, he wants help" Marshall looked at me, and said.

"Shoot him, Marshall. Fucking do it" I raised my voice.

Marshall took his gun out, put it out the window, and shot at the guy who was begging for help. Marshall put his arm back in the car, and placed the gun on his lap.

"You can't trust no one out here, especially on Purge night. It's always a trap-" I said until Marshall cut me off.

"That felt good. Holy shit, that felt good!!" Marshall said excited while looking down at his hands.

"Now you know how it feels" I said.

"Maybe you should kiss me, and I'll feel as good as you do, when you kill someone" Marshall said, and smirked at me.

I stopped the car in the middle of the road, and leaned in, kissing him on his lips. After we pulled away, I took the car back out of park, and into drive, continuing to drive down the street.

"I wasn't expecting that to really happen" Marshall said, and I chuckled.

"Like I said before, you've got a lot to learn about me Marshall" I said.
