7. … the headlights of a passing car glinted off the knife blade in Simon's hand.
   
   Chapter 2. Hezekiah.
   
   When he was a boy, his neighborhood was full of street gangs, in which many of his classmates took part. Hezekiah's family had strong religious views and strict habits, the street was aggressive, and the boy grew up shy and downtrodden. Street boys teased him because of his bright red hair, teenager’s gangs often robbed him near the school yard and took away the money his mother gave him for lunch. He was not weak – on the contrary, he was strong, but teenager's gangs attacked as a group, they often had pistols. Hezekiah dreamed of killing some of them, or… maybe commit suicide. Such thoughts did not last long, and the next morning he almost forgot about it.
   
   Later, when he was 19 and returned late one evening from rehearsal with his violin, he met a gang member outside his home. It was his former classmate Sam, a short, fat boy with an acne-prone face.
   
   “Oh, red-hair Heezzy-y-y, – he said,
   
   – Did you have a sex with your violin again?” – asked he loudly, stuttering on every word, and laughed all over the street. He has been drunken as a pig.
   
   “Give me your violin, I want to have a sex too! – he shouted loudly and grabbed the violin case.
   
   The scramble was short, and Sam fell awkwardly onto the wet sidewalk. Breathing heavily, he tried to stand up and at the same time take something out of his back pocket. Hezekiah stood nearby, waiting to see what Sam was going to do. And when he saw a gun like the ones he was robbed with at school, he began to violently hit by his legs Sam's body with inhuman strength. The gun was knocked far to the side, and Sam's body was left lying in blood on the sidewalk.
   
   Hezekiah walked slowly down the street toward the house, then returned to look for the gun in the dark street.
   
   Sam's murderer hasn't been looked for a long, the gangs' fights weren't rare – and a month later Hezekiah took a pistol from the hiding place and went for a walk in the night city. He just wanted to feel what it was like to walk the streets at night while armed – and it was another life and different world.
   
   Once upon a time his night walk was interrupted by teens' group. He didn't want to use the gun on the teens, but when one of them stabbed him, Hezekiah shot the guy straight in the head.
   
   Now he started looking for bandits and killing them regularly. He thought he was clearing the city of human garbage and felt like an angel in the night. Kind red-haired angel.
   
   That rainy night when Simon had been escaped, Hezekiah was returning from the Mission, and there should have been three more cartridges left in the magazine…
