Elder Eric Schrader sat on his bed looking at his mission companion who was asleep next to him. He got up and walked out of his room making his way to the other 5 rooms, looking at his friends before leaving and going onto the next room. He stopped at Connor McKinley and Chris Thomas' room. He opened the door and looked at the two, the two who had looked after everyone and made Eric feel like someone who mattered, for a little while anyway. He sighed and closed the door, waking up the two inhabitants of that room. Eric made his way to the main room and grabbed his satchel, leaving his name tag on the table near the door and with that he left. Connor and Chris had made sure to wake up the others Elders as they knew something was wrong, all 9 young men threw on whatever they could find and gathered in the main room, there they saw Connor holding something small and black.

"Connor? What's that?" Noah (Erics companion) asked now worried

"Elder Schrader's name tag......" Connor put it in his pocket before running out, the others in pursuit.

Eric made his way to the most feared camp in Kitguli.  The Generals camp. He walked in, careful not to wake the sleeping inhabitants and made his way over to the General who was still awake.

"General?"

"Who the fuck are you?"The General asked, turning around and pointing his gun at Eric.

"I'm Elder Eric Schrader from the Mormom Church. I came to ask you if you could shoot me......I'm not liked by anyone here, I have mothing to go back to at home and you'll have one less Mormon to deal with" Eric said, just looking at the General. The General felt a little bit of sadness for this man but loaded his gun never the less.

"I will shoot you...but you have to promise me that you will look after your friends from the heavens"

"I will"

"Rest in peace Eric"

The shot rang out.

The Elders turned at the soumd and ran towards it as fast as they could. None of them were ready for the sight in front of them. The General was gone but Eric lay there, a pool of blood around him.

The Elders were numb, some of them frozen to the spot. Noah rushed to Eric, scooping Eric up into his arms, crying. Noah cradled Eric's body, mumbling "Why Eric, why?"
