Irregulars

Crowds gather around the church. People filled the aisle, screaming and yelling towards the pastor. Delsin, Vaughn and Shelby sneaked into the church. They divide themselves out amongst the crowd, separate between the side of men and the women. Everyone shouted the same thing, “Repent! Repent!” A teen in shackles, held by officers was shamed in front of the crowd. Tears slipped from his eyes, escaping to the ground from his face. His shirt appeared partially soaked. Some water was from his tears, other water came from cups housewives held in their hands, dipping their fingers and flicking it against him. He took deep breathes, lifting his face to expose his facial bruises. Delsin and Vaughn cringed. The pastor, Conductor Shaun calmed the crowd. “Who we have here today is son of Eric and Melissa Hughes, Drake Hughes,” Pastor Conductor Shaun directed. “I knew it was Drake…” Shelby thought to herself. “What Drake is convicted for is engaging with homosexual relations with another male at his school.” Drake lowered his head. The crowd roared in anger. Another young man, the pastor’s son step forward to his father. “We have proof from my son…” the boy turned around to receive praise. “My son Yancy!” Yancy was a spoiled and an only child, getting everything he wanted from his parents as long as he told them everything he saw. No one crossed Yancy without bribes or fear. “Drake Hughes,” Conductor turned towards the boy. “Do you repent for your sins against God, the church, and your community?” Drake closed his eyes tight, turning his head. “...No…!” His father broke his nose instantly. Blood poured quickly from his nostrils. The crowd cheered at his pain.
