Once my work was completed i put a blank letter into the mailbox to contact edward.
We really need a new way to contact since what i need from him isnt that important having atleast a few ways to contact him for different needs and importance.
Now that i think about it i dont know that much about edward no almost nothing if he one day decided not to contact me anymore i would know almost nothing since his name edward might be fake and he might not use it on anyone other than me.
I soon would be back home but its quite relaxing i thought about going on a walk but since i need to work tommorow again i shouldnt stay up to long also i might just get lost again and beat up a thug.
This memory still feels weird when i beat up the thug i was quite happy at that moment which my former self wouldnt have maybe some adrenaline but he wouldnt have had a big smile on his face like some crazy person.
But although the potion changed me it doesnt feel to unnatural because the criminal potion doesnt change emotions like the seq 8 and even erases some it only amplifies my greed my joy in violence and lowers my guilt a bit.
Its not unnatural because there still my emotions but once i go to sequence 8 it will truly erase my guilt my empathy if i were a bit smarter i might say i would never take the sequence 8 potion but my greed for power and my need to go above is there even if it costs me emotions i might still take it one day.
Soon i came home although its only been a few days im starting to get used to it of course its still hard to accept how exhausting my life currently is all i do everyday is work when i wake up i have half an hour to get ready i go to work and go back home to sleep of course sometimes i also do the beyonder work like for my acting robbing soon someone well atleast the sleep is quite good when you're exhausted.
When the next day began i fortunately didnt have any headpain anymore and my fists didnt hurt anymore.
I stood up and washed my face and made myself my cheap breakfast.
Then i went outside to look at my mailbox and with some small suprise there was a letter inside.
Its most likely from edward i wonder is this his new way of contacting me when i sleep put letters in my mailbox and leave quietly no that doesnt sound to good.
When i went inside i read what he wrote to me.
Hello my little student it seems like you need something from me again? once you wake up go to cammies sweet and teas shop its only 20 minutes away of course ill only eat my breakfast here if you dont come soon i might just leave.
Damn i guess i should go fast i went outside the house dressed not to nicely but since i live in the slums its not to bad anyways i walked quite fast but soon i didnt have an idea what way i should walk so i talked to random strangers on the sidewalk after a few minutes and a few awkward talks i found cammies shop.
When i entered i saw edward sitting in the corner of the shop i sat myself to him and after a few awkward seconds where nobody of us began to talk first i began.
"you told me i should practice with the gun but you didnt tell me any shooting ranges"
"hmm didnt think about it thought you could find one on you're own?"
"well its not to hard to find a popular shooting range but the prices are a bit high for me currently"'
"i see well i know a place where you can buy your membership for only 3 soli a month but you need to bring you're own bullets but at that shooting range theres a guy who sells bullets without requesting a weapons permit from you"
Although 3 soli is quite a lot for me the guy who sells bullets is quite useful.
"how is the place called?"
"it doesnt have a official name i guess just call it the shooting range if you want i can bring you to it to get a membership "
Now i see why theres a guy selling illegal bullets and maybe even guns the place itself isnt legal.
"do i need to practice guns now since im already good with them?"
I dont want to say im a beyonder in a cafe with strangers in it although its unlikely for anyone hearing.
"you might be able to use a gun already but its still different if you have experience with it once you need to use one you might doubt yourself even if just for a second it might cost you're live"
Well thats a good argument i guess its 3 soli worth.
"well you made a good point i guess its worth it"
"you dont need to be so quick you can still eat you're breakfast here if you didnt yet"
Well now that he says it i am quite hungry when i went on the menu it sounded quite good although there sadly arent any photos with the food on it just the names but then i looked at the prices and decided not to eat here.
"im not that hungry right now and i need to go to work soon so we should better hurry up"
"fine then lets go to the shooting range"
"eh could we please make a quick stop at my home i dont have 3 soli with me"
"fine"
We soon went to my house and then went the way back it seemed like the shooting range was on the way from this cafe soon we went into a dark alley it reminds me when edward took the old viktor to the strange house and then killed a random person i wonder does he live in that house?.
"were here"
It was a house in the alley it wasnt that good looking if im honest it looked quite old we soon went inside where a guy was at the reception i wasnt sure how tall he was since he was sitting but he had quite a bit of muscle and a big beard.
"im here with someone new who wants to become a member"
I wonder how tight the check is since this is an illegal shooting range.
"to become a member you need to pay 3 soli first and need to tell me you're name"
I gave him the money although it was hard for me since i had very few left the old savings that the old viktor got from edward was almost completly used up if i suddenly need to go to a hospital i wont have any money or if any other accident happens.
"my name is viktor i hope you accept me as a member"
"good the rules are that you bring your own gun and bullets dont annoy other members or staff to much dont ask other people there names here to much and only tell those who also want to become members about this place as long as you keep at those rules we'll be good"
Wait thats it no checkup or anything?.
"since you were introduced by edward i assume he will show you everything if not i can show you around "
"yeah i will show him everything so you dont need to get up"
Me and edward went downstairs quite a few stairs later we were by the shooting range it looked quite professional compared to the building outside.
"take a few shots and get a feel for it"
I took my gun in the hand and shot at one of the targets i truly did hit the target quite easily.
"nice shot but i didnt expect any less from you "I'll be going now so you can practice a bit alone you should find your way back home alone right"
"yeah thanks for the help teacher "I'll be practicing so i dont disappoint you"
Soon edward was away and i continued to practice i sometimes imagined it to be real humans since i might need to use it soon and this is the biggest benefit this range can give me to not doubt myself as much and not hesitate when its important although i hope i dont have to use it.
I soon practiced for half an hour and it even helped me improve a bit since although the criminal potion makes you proficient in all weapons experience still helps.
Soon i went back up and went to the guy at the reception.
""I'll be leaving have a good day"
"you too viktor"
I began walking to my work slowly quite relaxed even since i had a very good day the guy at the reception was quite nice and i really feel like i gained quite a lot from this although i sadly didnt gain any money but experience and a place where i can buy bullets if needed also the guy at the reception called edward by his name so that means that he uses this name not just by me although it doesnt mean to much if he were to ever leave there are atleast a few others who know him by this name.
Now i should run fast im sure that im going to be late to work no im already late and although i want to quit soon if i were fired now i would have to rob thugs and gangsters of their money to be able to buy food.
