Chapter Nine

Liam Conner

Mrs. Grandy’s House

Nashville, TN

9:03 PM

“Well, we better be heading out,” said Liam to Mrs. Grandy. “I’m sure those guys are long gone now, and thanks again for selling us this gun. Not to mention, it’s getting late. We must not keep you anymore.”

“It was my pleasure dear. I would feel horrible if I had heard something had happened to you. Please be safe,” replied Mrs. Grandy.

Prue and Liam both got up from the patio table and started down the street. Both of them still on edge from the encounter with the men. Thank goodness Mrs. Grandy sprung into action and scared the men away. Despite Liam being now armed, he did not want another run-in with those guys.

“Looks like those guys are completely gone,” Prue said, interrupting the silence as they walked down the street, both constantly looking over their shoulders.

“Seems to be the case,” confirmed Liam. “I keep thinking they are going to dart out from behind one of these houses, but they seem to have totally vanished.”

“Let’s hope that’s the case,” replied Prue. “Hey! You know, something that I’ve always wanted to do, but never learned was to learn how to shoot. My dad said he’d teach me one day, but he never got the chance to before I left for Nashville.”

“Oh! That’s fantastic you want to learn how to shoot. If we run across some spare ammo, I promise that I will teach you once we get the chance. When we make it to my grandpa’s I could for sure teach you then,” replied Liam.

“I’d appreciate that,” responded Prue. The two fell silent once again as they continued to walk down the streets of Nashville. Prue broke the silence once again and said, “You know, I’ve been thinking.”

“Yes?”

“After hearing what you and Mrs. Grandy were talking about before we left, I’m beginning to think that maybe that DJ we heard over that AM station we found when we powered up your grandpa’s wind-up radio was right.”

“Why do you say that? What changed your mind?”

“Well, it’s been almost two days now, and we still do not have any power. That guy may be on to something. Then when Mrs. Grandy started quoting the Bible, that seemed strange at first but after she finished the verses, it made sense of what was going on now,” explained Prue.

“Yeah, it’s been on my mind as well. I was always taught about the end times in Bible study, but I never thought I’d actually see it. They taught us that the end times were near according to their calculations, but I thought it would be after my lifetime. It’s been on my mind ever since I heard the DJ talk about it,” said Liam.

“Well, at least the good news is that it ends well for those who believe,” countered Prue.

“That's one way to look at it.”
