“Heads up.” Gabriel fired two quick shots, but this time they sounded like they were at the opposite end of the long warehouse. The onslaught of bullets immediately stopped. Justin poked his head over the wall to find Gabriel standing over the bruiser as he put another bullet in the man’s chest.
“It’s called a ‘double tap’ for a reason,” Justin said as he stood and started crossing the main floor toward his boyfriend. “Double means two. Two shots.” He held up two fingers on his empty hand.
“I’m sorry. Are we rationing our bullets now? I didn’t know I was dating a bullet miser.”
“Hey, I’m just saying the third shot was overkill.”
Glaring at Justin, Gabriel blindly pointed his gun at the dead man and unloaded two more shots into his chest. “That’s overkill. The original three shots were being careful.”

When blood sees blood
Of its own
It sings to see itself again
It sings to hear the voice it’s known
It sings to recognize the faceOne body split and passed along the line
From the shoulder to the hip
I know these bones as being mine
And the curving of the lipAnd my question to you is:
How did this come to pass?
How did this one life fall so far and fast?Some are lean and some with grace, and some without;
All tell the story that repeats
Of a child who had been left alone at birth
Left to fend and taught to fightSee his eyes and how they start with light
Getting colder as the pictures go
Did he carry his bad luck upon his back?
That bad luck we’ve all come to knowAnd my question to you is:
How did this come to pass?
How did this one life fall so far and fast?When blood sees blood
Of its own
It sings to see itself again -
Don’t look back, it won’t do any good
Don’t look ahead you’ll just be misunderstood
Everything you need could be right in front of you
It doesn’t take much to see what is true
They say we are going to die if we go on like this
Who do you believe? Every story has a twist
Take a look around, tell me what you see
People in the world just trying to be free
What about all those things you could have done but you don’t?
They say things happen for a reason, you don’t do them, they won’tI’m looking for life, love and laughter
Everything in between and what happens after
I’m looking for life, lookin for love, lookin for laughterThings are gunna change, they never stay the same
That’s why we’re fighting a war but the people are to blame
You can only stand up for what you believe
Don’t be blinded by the power of greed
What about all those things you could have done but you don’t?
They say things happen for a reason, you don’t do them, they won’tI’m looking for life, love and laughter
Everything in between and what happens after
I’m looking for life, love and laughter
Everything in between and what happens after
Looking for laughterWe got everything we need
All the money in the world, want to buy what we see
Dreams are worth more than gold
Some people hold on, some people let go
The stars all come out at night
The velvet sky, all so bright
I feel so close to you
Because I see what you see tooI’m looking for life, love and laughter
Everything in between and what happens after
Looking for life
I’m looking for life, love and laughter
Everything in between and what happens after
What happens after!
I’m looking for life, love and laughter
Everything in between and what happens after
What happens after? -
You look like you could do with a friend she said
You look like you could use a hand
Someone to make you smile she said
Someone who can understand
Share your trouble
Comfort you
Hold you close
And I can do all of these
I think you need me here with you
You look like you do with a sister she said
You look like you need a girl to call your ownLike fabulous! fabulous!
Call me fabulous!
And rubbing her hands so slow
You stare at me all strange she said
Are you hungry for more?
I’ve had enough I said
Please leave me alone
Please goIt doesn’t touch me at all
It doesn’t touch me at allYou know that you could do with a friend she said
You know that you could use a word
Like feel or follow or fuck she said
And laughing away as she turned
You’ve everything but no-one
Like the last man on earth
And when I die I said
I’ll leave you it all
Door closes
Leaves me coldIt doesn’t touch me at all
It doesn’t touch me at allYou really do need a sister she said
You really do need a girl to call your ownLike wonderful! wonderful!
Call me wonderful!
And running her hands so slow
You stare at me all strange she said
Are you hungry for more?
I’ve had enough I said
Please leave me alone
Please go
Please go -
Where the moon glows in your hair
And the rain falls down
On a ground that’s cold and bare
Dripping from the cloudsWhere I sing because I care
‘Til my lungs fall out
I’m asleep but well aware
That the word is outThere’s a love and a sense of direction
In the matter that keeps us apart
There’s a light coming out of the woodworks
From a crack in the door to my heart‘Cause the summer is taking forever
‘Cause I can’t take the heat anymore
‘Cause I know that for worse or for better
I’m at war with the one, at war with the one that I wantA tree falls down
Almost unintentional
The earth starts burning
With no one aroundI hear you say
It’s not too late
And we become
Brave and untouchableUntil the daylight comes around
And the morning breaks
In the center of this town
I’ll be wide awakeI’ll be out drifting about
With a heart that aches
And a head that’s spinning round
From the sound that it makes‘Cause I feel like I’m walking a rainbow
‘Cause I don’t know where I do belong
‘Cause there’s no one above or beside you
Because you have been crying too longI’ve been climbing the walls of the city
On the run from the things that I miss
I’ve been drying my eyes to see clearly
‘Cause I know that there’s so much more than thisA tree falls down
Almost unintentional
The earth starts burning
There’s no one aroundI hear you say
It’s not too late
And we become
Brave and untouchableA tree falls down
Almost unintentional
The earth starts burning
With no one aroundI hear you say
It’s not too late
We become
Brave and untouchable -
If I put my hands around your wrists, would you fight them?
If I put my fingers in your mouth, would you bite them?
So many things that I would do if I had my way with youI can keep secrets that I know that you want me
You could dig your nails into my skin and you won’t stop me
You could twist and scream into the air but no one can hear you hereAnd there will be no tenderness, no tenderness
There will be no tenderness, no tenderness
I will show no mercy for you,
you had no mercy for me
The only thing that I ask, love me mercilesslyWhile your shouting friends that despise you to your face
What would they say now if they saw you in this place?
Naked and breathless, could you live with this disgrace?
Could you live? Could you live? Could you live with this?And there will be no tenderness, no tenderness
There will be no tenderness, no tenderness
I will show no mercy for you,
you had no mercy for me
The only thing that I ask, love me mercilesslyIf I put my hands around your wrists, would you fight them?
If I put my fingers in your mouth, would you bite them?
So many things that I would do if I had my way with youAnd there will be no tenderness, no tenderness
There will be no tenderness, no tenderness
I will show no mercy for you,
you had no mercy for me
The only thing that I ask, love me mercilessly
Love me mercilessly -
Everyone is here except for me
And I can feel the world is watching
Who is on their own I wonder
And who has cast this spell I’m underI want you with me
I want you with meLook into your heart are you happy
You could be the one to set me free
And with your hand in mine we will walk
To a place that knows no oneI want you with me
I want you with me
I want you with meI wont forget the things you said
That’s dancing and singing inside my head
You’ve always known you’re not aloneI want you with me
I want you with me
I want you with me
I want you with me -
Love is Contagious

I put diamonds, on my promises
so you know that they will stay
And on your finger, is where my vow will live
so you can see it everydayIt’s all for love, it’s for love
I will do anything, for my loveCarry your story, whever I may go
o you know it will be mine
Till the end of time, even if we disagree
You know I’ll still be on your sideIt’s all for love, it’s for love
I will do anything, for my love
I will do anything, for my loveGive you my hand I’ll give you all I’ve saved for
Through all the joy
and all the disappointment
And you will always be the one I live for
It’s all for love, it’s all for love
I will do anything, for my loveIt’s all for love, it’s all for love
i will do anything, for my love
I will do anything, for my love -
I’m not yours, and you’re not mine
But we can sit and pass the time
No fighting wars, no ringing chimes
We’re just feeling fineThis is where we’re supposed to be
Sitting by a broken tree
No tragedy, no poetry
Just staring at the skyI could wait a thousand hours
Stay the same in sun and showers
Pick apart a hundred flowers
Just to be quiet
Tell me when you feel ready
I’m the one, there’s not too many
Hold my hand to keep me steady
Just to be quiet with you
With youI like it here beside you dear
You’re even more than you appear
And in the clouds my head is clear
Every time you say helloSo here’s my heart, and here’s my mouth
And I can’t help if things come out
‘Cause there are words I want to shout
But maybe I’ll stay lowI could wait a thousand hours
Stay the same in sun and showers
Pick apart a hundred flowers
Just to be quiet
Tell me when you feel ready
I’m the one, there’s not too many
Hold my hand to keep me steady
Just to be quietI could wait a thousand hours
Stay the same in sun and showers
Pick apart a hundred flowers
Just to be quiet
Tell me when you feel ready
I’m the one, there’s not too many
Hold my hand to keep me steady
Just to be quiet with you
With you
With you
With you
With you (I’m not yours, and you’re not mine but we can sit and pass the time)
With you
With you (I’m not yours, and you’re not mine but we can sit and pass the time)
With you
