On the way to the Church of The New Age Resurrection, the radio crackles.

Chief, “Two-Six, you out there?”

Pops, “Ten four.”

“No need to go looking for the preacher... He’s out front the building.”

“Still need us to deal with it?”

“I think we got it handled but I also think you’ll want to hear what he has to say.”

“Roger that.”

Two-Six pulls up to the front of the Kenner Police Complex and they see a large group of people is standing outside. A lone man in a long blue overcoat, is standing on the steps shouting to the people.

Preacher, “Come, everyone, come and rejoice! The end is not here! The end only starts with the beginning! We must overcome our fear of our resurrected friends and families not through violence but through prayer! Prayer heals all! Prayer sets us free! Prayer can cure the demons that plague our homes!”

Cane, “Is this guy for real?”

Trey, “I think so. He seems rather excited.”

“This is a whole new pot to stir, T. He could literally get the rest of the city to riot and invite steve in.”

“And then we’ll be able to kill every steve at once.”

“Fish in a barrel.”

Preacher sweeps his arms outward drawing the crowd’s attention to the members of the Two-Six, “Behold, my friends, the demons in black! See how they wear their armor in fear of the resurrected! They do not believe! They do not have faith! Bring them into the herd!”

When the followers of the preacher advance on the group, all of their weapons come up.

Pops, “No thanks. You want to pray, by all means pray. You will not force other people to believe as you do.”

Preacher, “OH HO! We have a leader amongst the fallen! See how they worship this man!?”

“No one worships me, these men are my family, and we are protecting this city.”

“The city does not need protection! The city needs prayer and the Holy Light!” Murmurs of ‘Amen’ flow through the crowd.

Trey, “Pops, say the word.”

Pops, “Not yet, we’ll let him be crazy elsewhere.”

Fitz, “Blasphemer.”

Preacher, “I do not blaspheme! We will cure this city! We will cure the world!”

Pops, “It’s time to move on, go back to your place of worship. Anyone who wants to believe you can go. But, I’m afraid you’re scaring these other people; the ones who want to live out their earthly lives just a little longer.”

“Ah! You have not yet made your peace! Well the time will come when you will meet your maker!”

Cane, “I’ve heard enough! I’ve made my peace. You’re about to ruin that. Now march your sorry ass out of here!”

“As you wish small one. We will leave in peace as we came in peace. But, let the words be marked: This is the Second Coming. When Hell is full, the dead will walk the earth! They are not your enemies, they are reincarnations most holy. You will come to us when we cure this decimation.”

Wyatt mumbles to Gavin, “If he calls Cane small again, he’ll probably decimate that guys face.
