Chapter 5 - A Happy Family? 

After several days living under the same roof, Gatling Outlaw is a father. He performed the procedure himself, absorbing information on how to give birth from the internet; his son was born in the traditional way. 

—I'm a father, I'm happy. —Chaser Said, who sees his son and hands him over to his mother. 

—Darling, this is the best day of my life, I have no words. —Rachelle replied, seeing her son, but she whispered. —Kill me. 

—What happened, darling? —Chaser asked, who was left surprised. 

—No, nothing, it's just your imagination. —Rachelle replied. 

—Seriously, I could have sworn you said something, let me check my memory. —Chaser responded. 

—You don't have to do it, I told you I'm fine! —Rachelle shouted with an angry tone. 

—It's okay, don't get like that. —Chaser replied, soothing her while he drank and cried. 

—Sorry, darling, I didn't mean to get upset like this at such an important moment. —Rachelle answered. 

—Let me put the baby in the incubator. —Chaser responded. 

—I want to spend more time with him, you don't have to engage in your criminal activities. —Rachelle replied. 

—Me too, that can wait. —Chaser responded, who stays a moment longer to share with them. 

After a while, Gatling Outlaw gets on his bike to leave; along the way, the call sounds in his head. 

—What do you want, Rouge Priest? —Chaser asked, who answered the call and saw that it was him. 

—And that's how you treat your comrades. —Rouge Priest replied. 

—Sorry, your extreme holiness... —Chaser Responded, who switched to a more kind and jovial tone for what he added. —Good morning, Rouge Priest, how are you? And how are the parishioners?... Happy. 

—Yes, much better, I'm sending you the coordinates for your next heist. —Rouge Priest replied, as I send the coordinates. 

—Perfect, I'm on my way. —Chaser responded, who is heading to the coordinates. 

—Welcome, emissary of Kaiser. —Rouge Priest answered. 

—Don't tell me, because of that scoundrel I can't drink a good bottle of rum without being in the spotlight. —Chaser replied. 

—That's the least of it, you're already used to it. —Rouge Priest Answered. 

—Yes, unfortunately, I am. —Chaser replied. 

—We have a train to rob. —Rouge Priest Answered as Chaser, with his optical eyes, zoomed in to see the absurd amount of weapons and surveillance. 

—It's a suicide. —Chaser replied. 

—Yes, but we do it to survive; you will get your pay. —Rouge Priest responded. 

«I want to go back to Chaser Jr., I wanted to call him Gabriel, but she insisted on calling him that.» —Chaser thought, who stopped paying attention to Rouge Priest. 

—Gatling, you're with me. —Rouge Priest Said. 

—Yes, Rouge, I'm with you. —Chaser replied. 

—Well, we'll cover you from a distance. —Rouge Priest Responded. 

Chaser gets on his motorcycle to head toward the train; being at a considerable distance, he defends himself by shooting laser beams, mines, among other projectiles. The force field holds up while he dodges the mines and projectiles. Chaser responds by activating the motorcycle's weapons, except for his main weapon, destroying several turrets until he stands on the motorcycle seat to jump and cling to the walls of a car to climb onto the roof. With his weapons, he takes out several turrets, alerting the androids who climb onto the cars, shooting at them with their assault rifles and other weapons that emerge from his body, but he evades them and eliminates them with his weapons and hand-to-hand combat. After the fight, he reaches the wagon that has the supplies and detaches it from the train so that Rouge Priest's minions can appear and take the cargo. 

—Ready, Rouge happy. —Chaser Said. 

—We have more assaults, but since I see you're desperate, I'll give you the day off. —Rouge Priest replied. 

—Thanks, tomorrow I'll dive deep into your missions. —Chaser Answered. 

—Perfect, see you tomorrow. —Rouge Priest responded. 

Chaser spends quality time with his family; he takes care of his wife and helps her with household chores, tells stories to his son until he falls asleep. 

The next morning, he wakes up early to take care of the child and his wife, who instantly recovers. 

«Everything is fine for now, my wife treats me with affection, my son is growing by leaps and bounds, but those murmurs she has worry me. I need to find out if she was hacked or something like that, I'll do it while she doesn't notice, but not now.» —Chaser Thought as he left her house. 

On the road, a sniper shoots at him, but he manages to dodge it at the last moment. He stops, puts his bike in shelter mode to protect it from the sniper. 

«What was that! The good thing is that this body has superhuman reflexes. Now, where could it be? This is a plain.» —Chaser Thought, who looks around until he expands his scope and detects a mountain in the distance, calculates all the variables to find the sniper, so he finds him at the top of a mountain, shoots at him, but he moves at the last moment, but calculates his escape route, so he destroys it, cornering him, and turns him into mush with the turret cannon shot. 

«For the next time, I'll be more careful. That was close. » —Chaser Thought deactivates the shelter mode to head to his next assault. 

The weeks went by and the baby turned into a twelve-year-old boy due to the metabolism of the bio-links. 

«My son has grown up very quickly, I became his best friend; although he has his quirks, I love him very much, but unfortunately, he is not my biological son, but of this body." "How much longer will I keep lying to myself?» —Chaser thought as he recalled everything that had happened with his family while drowning in his sorrows. 

—Dad, you're lucid. —Chaser Jr Said. 

—Give me a moment, son, I'll attend to you shortly. —Chaser replied as he activated a command that detoxified him from alcohol to return to normal, adding as he removed his liver and put in a new one. "What do you want, kid, at this hour?" 

—It's just that I want you to tell me a bedtime story because I'm scared. —Chaser Jr Answered. 

—And why didn't you ask your mother? It's not that I don't want to, I'm just asking you. —Chaser replied. 

—It's just that I want you to tell me, you're an expert in that. —Chaser Jr Answered. 

—Of course, son, I'd be happy to tell you. —Chaser Responded, who goes to his son's room and proceeds to tell him one of his adventures until the child falls asleep." 

The next morning, he has breakfast with his family until he receives a call. 

—One moment, I have to take a call. —Chaser Said. 

—Alright, take your time, I'll heat it up for you. —Rachelle replied. 

Once he is in his room, he goes down to the garage. 

—What do you want, Kaiser? —Chaser asked. 

—Do you remember I told you that you let me down in the construction of my ark? Now it's time to pay. —Kaiser Answered. 

—I'll pay you with whatever it takes, but leave me alone, I'll return Chaser's body if that's what you want. —Chaser replied. 

—No, Rafael, I want your son; he will be my new Gatling Outlaw. —Kaiser answered. 

—I won't allow it, spawn of the devil, I'll hunt you down like a dog if you touch him. —Chaser replied as he laughed devilishly. 

—How funny you are. —Kaiser answered while Chaser detected several enemy cowboy androids." 

They shoot at him with all their artillery, blowing up the house, but Chaser comes out with his family riding Gatling (the motorcycle) to start a chase, but Chaser and Rachelle take care of them with their weapons. 

«I have to get to my hideout or that bastard is going to catch me.» Chaser thought, who was on his way to his hideout.
