Re: M.I.A. In Washington State

Looking over at the cabinet he looked at, Alex wondered what was inside of it. Then he said about his parents not being happy he quit the armed forces and moved here. Alex looked back at him and before she realised what she was doing, she stepped over to him, clasping his hands in excitement. "Were you really in the armed forces?! Oh my god, that's so cool!" she said brightly, "could you teach me how to use a gun? Please?" she asked. Then she realised what she was doing and she gasped and stepped back, letting of him and glancing away. "Oh, um, sorry. I guess I let it go to my head. It was probably horrible... seeing everyone get killed..." she said, ever so softly.

I jump when she takes my hands in hers and practically squeals like a little girl, asking if I could show her how to use a gun. "Well, I uhh..." I say, she then slows herself. "It's alright..." I say and rub my arm when she talks about how horrible it probably was. "Yea, well... It's alright I guess" I say and take a centuring breath. "I could show you a thing or two about guns if you'd like..." I say "Unless you have somewhere to be" I add and look at the clock.

Brightening, when he says he could teach her a thing or, if she didn't have anywhere to go, Alex beamed and shook her head. "Nope. Nowhere to go. And thank you so much!" she said with a smile. Atleast he wasn't asking why she wanted to learn.[/center]

"Here" I say and walk over to the end table to pick up the colt and it's magazine. "Do you know how to load a magazine?" I ask her, taking out the shells and setting the gun down. I didn't ask her why she wanted to know. Personally, I believed everyone should know how to handle firearms. They were nearly a necessity and could really come in handy when it comes to self defense and the sort.

Alexandra

"Nup," she replied honestly, "i'm completely stupid when it comes to guns. Today was the first time actually seeing one up close.. or, well..." she trailed off. Okay, first time seeing one up close when it wasn't killing people. Alex laughed softly, "sorry," she said with a grin. Well, there was no use lieing when she was learning.

Adam

I shake my head "No problem" I say and pick the gun up. "This is the barrel, the trigger, the magazine, rounds, safety, and your sights" I say, pointing each one out as I said the name. When I finished pointing them out, I took apart the gun with trained skill. I proceeded to show her the inner workings of the gun.[ Idk what they really are lol ] I put the gun back together. "Now, when you're loading the magazine, you just press the bullets in like this" I showed her by pushing one of the rounds in the clip. "Until they won't go inside anymore" I say and continue pushing the bullets inside until, like I explained, they wouldn't go in anymore.

Alexandra

Alex grinned as she watched him, interest filling the very depths of her eyes. As he pushed the bullets in the young woman nodded in acknowledgement. "Gotcha." she said with a grin. It all seemed interesting, yet simple knowledge. How she didn't know all this already was beyond her.

Adam

I push the magazine into the butt of the gun when I was finished and pulled back the top. A clicking sound told me there was a bullet inside the gun. For some reason, while I was explaining this to her, I wasn't havin any memories of flashbacks burning my mind. I show her the side of the gun. "Unless to switch the safety off, the gun shouldn't go off" I explain "But you should always take the magazine out and make sure there are never any bullets inside. Also, treat a gun as though it is always loaded" I say and put the gun carefully in a holster on my side. "Got it?" I say, and for the first time in a long while I actually, halfway, smiled.

[Tayssi]

Alexandra

Nodding as he asked if she understood, Alex said, "got it," she saw his faint smile and her smiled widened. "There it is! I new you ahd one under there, somewhere!" she said brightly. Her green and blue eyes watched the man beside her for a moment before she turned her gaze away from him.

Adam

I look back down at the gun quickly and chuckle at her excitement. "Want to try it out?" I asked her calmly, looking outside and then back at her. Pale blue eyes seeming to dance in the sudden entertainment I was getting out of this small visit from her.

[Tayssi]

Alexandra

Hesitating for a moment, Alex gave a light nod, "sure, I guess. But, just so nothing happens...or anything major. Help me out, 'kay?" she said and grinned, looking back at Adam. She glanced at the clock and saw that it was already 4pm.. Wow. Time sure did fly, didn't it? No wonder she was starting to feel a little drowsy. Guess after this, she'd have to find somewhere to stay for the night.

Adam

I chuckle quietly and nod. Stopping by a closet on the way outside I grab a couple earmuffs and step outside, holding the door for her. When we were outside I handed her a pair of the earmuffs and walk around to the back of the house with her. There were four bales of hay with a target tarp wrapped around them. They were shot at, and most of the holes were in the center of the red and white circles. "So, crouch down right here and I'll show how" I say and crouch down beside the place I showed her to crouch down at.

[Tayssi]

Alexandra

Following Adam outside and to the back, Alex blinked in surprise when he fired all shots in the middle. Then he instructed her to crouch down. She did as she was told, crouching down where she was told to. She glanced at Adam as he crouched down beside her.

[ He didn't fire them just then, those were from the past =3 ]

Adam
I hand her the gun and hold the barrel up slightly. "Always keep your finger along the barrel of the gun until you are ready to fire" I say, and then point to the two green dots atop the gun. "These are your sights. You want to align the center of the target with the triangle here" I say and point to the end of the barrel "While keeping it withing the two green dots" I tell her and give her time to do that.
