Breakfast was over and Craig began to shower.

Craig sighed loudly under the sound of draining water and sat on the floor of the tub.

"The fact that I almost died yesterday was terrifying me, but now that my only sanctuary has been threatened. I don't feel too good..." He thought to himself while closing his eyes.

He began to think about his past.

"I remember it so clearly..." Craig recalled the first time he had met Father Maxi after not having any other place to stay and was dealing with substance abuse.

Craig began to tear up in the shower and eventually had to rush himself as he promised to go back to the church. He put on his typical pastor suit and walked into his room where he saw Tweek just laying on his bed while playing with the Nintendo Switch.

"Hey Craig! I wouldn't expect you to own one of these." Tweek laughed. "But I'm having a little trouble because of my nails."

"Tweek! I must go stop by the church right now. I want you to make sure that you do not leave this house." Craig told Tweek.

Craig walked towards his closet and pulled out an box. "Tweek, come over here." Craig demanded.

Tweek sighed and paused his game. "What happened Craig?" He walked over to Craig and noticed the box. "What's in there?"

Craig opened the box, "This is my emergency kit, here we have an loaded gun, a small pack of bullets, band aids, a taser, rubbing alcohol packets, and two cellphones- one is my old phone and the other is an emergency one." Craig began to take each item out.

"Here Tweek." Craig handed him the emergency phone. "If anything happens call me, it should be the contact name 'old tucker', okay? And feel free to use any of these stuff if something DOES happen."  Craig handed Tweek the emergency phone and shoved the old phone and taser into his pocket.

"Geez Craig why do you have all of these stuff?" Tweek began to question Craig and was convinced that he was overdramatized.

"T-there just some old things I used to have on me personally but now they're just my backups if anything happens especially since I live alone." Craig responded to Tweek while taking a final stretch.

"I must go now Tweek. I'll see you later. Don't do anything crazy and don't go through anything please!" Craig walked out the door and began walking towards the church in a hurry.

Once he arrived, he went through the front door and called out for Father Maxi.

"Pastor Craig! Thank the lord you've arrived." Father Maxi ran to Craig and hugged him.

"Yeah I slipped on my way home yesterday and my phone stopped working and it's just been very stressful since then. But I have a new phone and I want to know what happened here." Craig handed a slip of paper with the new phone number and sighed.

Father Maxi reached for the paper and walked towards the back of the church.

"Look inside Craig." The time of Father Maxi's was very stiff and cold.

Craig walked inside and gasped very loudly only to find the mirrors shattered, spilled wine, and what made Craig's jaw dropped was the words, " Fuck you!!" smeared across the wall with paint.

Craig felt a great sickening in his stomach and couldn't believe his eyes. The thought of the spiritual from last night crossed through his mind and the feeling of being under cold water made Craig have a panic attack. He sat down and could not stop hyperventilating while tearing up, "forgive me Father Maxi B-but...I don't feel to well."

Father Maxi rushed into to his office coming out with a cup of water and some headache pills to help calm Craig down. "Here Son! Drink this please."

Pastor Craig forces himself to do as commanded and rested his head down onto the table. "There...there...child it's going to be okay. I already called someone to fix the mirrors and I'll clean up the mess around here including scrubbing the walls." Father Maxi was patting Craig's shoulders.

"I'll let you calm down right now, I'll be back in ten okay?" Father Maxi walked into his office.

Craig tried to regain his consciousness and let out a giant sigh. He pulled out his cellphone and began to dial for Tweek.

"Hey Craig! What happened?? Is everything okay?" Tweek began to worry a bit.

"Yeah, Yeah, everything fine sorta. There's just been a break in or some kind of prank that happened. They broke the mirrors and wrote on the walls...It kinda gave me a panic attack." Craig felt relieved opening up like this to somebody who wasn't Father Maxi. It made him feel like another door was open for him to enjoy and it made him feel reassured.

"Oh no Craig that's terrible. Aw shucks, I really wish I can help with something but if I step one foot into that place I don't know what would happen to me." Tweek responded.

"It's okay Tweek. I just wanted to update you I'll text you when I'm my way home." Craig stood up and picked up a shard of glass and played with the broken reflection of himself. "If you want we can order some Chinese if you'll like and I can get us some coffee too?" Craig smiles.

"Yeah I'll like that." Tweek thanked him and hung up.

Father Maxi comes out from his office again and Craig turned around.

"Pastor Craig, you seem to be better now in fact you're smiling." He chuckled. "Now son listen to me carefully and please be honest." Craig nodded.

"Do you have any idea about this incident?"
