Target #6 - Bullets for Brains

[bloodon_myknife]

[[To Everyone]]

[Sniper was feeling the daily grind getting to him.  So to appease his need for a little excitement, he went out and bought himself a new toy.

Anyone out and about would see the cheerful man whistling as he walked down the street.  A hunting rifle case hanging over his back and a box of shells in his hand.  This was the start to a

[Margot's out on the lawn of 1250 Williams Road playing mini!Scout. While she's not wearing the uniform he got for her (it's still too nippy out for shorts), she's got the bat and she's taking practice swings at the air.

When she sees her neighbor, she stops midswing curiously, staring at the objects he has. There are no guns in Margot's world and the shape of the case has her intrigued.]

[Sniper recognized the place. So they had two daughters there?

Wait for her to swing wide, step in close and use the knife to end it before she could back swing.

Sniper's thoughts though did not show on his face as he gave her a friendly smile.]

Hello there. I think you're swinging a little high for baseball. I have a mate who has a terrible swing as well, though I suppose he isn't trying out for the major leagues or anything.

[Not at all talking about or drawing attention to his own new little toy. It wasn't something for kids anyways in his mind.]

[followyouthere]

...My aim was never very good?

[She shrugs, eyes still flicking to the object, curious.]

'Sides, I haven't actually played a game of baseball since I was about knee height, anyway.

[bloodon_myknife]

Well then keep up the practice.

[He'd ignore where her eyes went, pretending not to notice.]

So is there a baseball league forming too around Mayfield?

[followyouthere]

Nah. A friend gave it to me. Thought it might be useful.

[bloodon_myknife]

[Ah, that rang a bell.]

Let me guess who gave it to you. Fast talker? Likes the color blue?

[followyouthere]

Goes by Scout?

[bloodon_myknife]

It seems we are talking about the same guy.

So do you live nearby?

[She gestures to the house behind her -- 1250 Williams.

Hey, this house might hold another familiar girl!]

Yeah, right here.

[bloodon_myknife]

[He remembered another girl from there. One he told to stay indoors but still came to visit him when he was droned.]

Oh I see. Do you know another girl from there? Very kind girl who hangs out with a boy named Crowe?

[followyouthere]

Yeah. That'd be my sister, Nadia.

I guess you're Crowe's fake dad then, huh?

[bloodon_myknife]

How's she doing? I think I might have given her a scare a little while back and never got a chance to appologize to the girl.

As for Crowe, yeah the put me as that lad's father. I am still not sure why. He's a good kid even though he's a bit... off.

[followyouthere]

She's fine.

...What do you mean, 'off?'

[bloodon_myknife]

Good to hear. Tell her I'm fine as well and that I am thankful she checked in on me, just incase I don't see her.

[He was busy, even if he was stopping to say hi to everyone he met.]

Nothing to worry yourself over. Suffice it to say he is a nice kid and if you see him take good care of him okay?

[followyouthere]

[Margot frowns, but she's not going to press.]

Yeah. He hangs around Nadia a lot, so I'll keep an eye on him.

[bloodon_myknife]

If he gets into any trouble with someone, please come by and get me. I'll handle the rest.
