Agent Finds a Warrior

I was a better person with her than without her and I hadn't lost my soul in the pursuit of something forbidden to me in order to attain her. Instead what I had desired had been gifted to me and I was the better for it.

"Did you see something Elon?"

"I did."

A private joy opened up within me at the realization that I finally had someone that I could talk and relate to. Someone I could trust.

"I have visions sometimes that show me paths to take and what I am to do. Sometimes it's as simple as giving a word of encouragement or a warning to someone. Sometimes it's been to save humanity itself from some calamity of its own creation or from the dark powers that be."

"What did you see this time?"

"A mutual friend of ours and his family are in grave danger. We must go to them for we have been empowered by the Holy Spirit of God to intercede on behalf of them."

I watched Maria's face quiver slightly as we both felt the ripple and awareness of the power of the Holy Spirit course through us.

"What are we up against?" She asked bravely and I told it to her straight.

"Whatever power of darkness that hell throws against us."

I saw fear in her eyes, but I also saw determination for the fight. I reached over and patted the outline of the sawed off shotgun in her pack, "The shotguns going to have to sit this one out I'm afraid. Such weapons will do us no good in the coming struggle."

She swallowed expressively before asking, "What do we fight with then?"

"The promises of God given to us through His Holy Scripture and prayer. Lots of prayer."

I stood up and I extended my hand down to Maria and smiled as I asked, "Ready to join me on our first adventure together?"

She looked scared and excited all at the same time, but her hand reached up to mine and enclosed with it and we were both immediately caught away by the Holy Spirit of God.
