It was really hot day. Luis was sitting outside of his small house, fixing the pistol he had found yesterday. It was those kinds of pistols that common people and raiders carried with them, it used 9mm ammo which Luis had plenty. Finally he had weapon to protect himself.
Suddenly, Luis heard someone coming. He raised his head to see two men walk towards him. No guns present, so it could be possible that these two were just some trespassers. Other was very long, wearing black jeans and black leather jacket, while the other one was a bit shorter, wearing also black jeans but instead of black jacket he worn white shirt. The one with white shirt was walking a bit behind the first one.
-"Are you the owner of this house?" asked the man wearing jacket.
-"Yes, I am. And what business do you have here?" Luis answered.
-"Good, because it's now our" the man answered.
At the same moment Luis noticed that the second man had raised pistol, and currently aiming to him. Calmly, Luis turned his gaze again to the first man.
-"And what makes you think so?" he asked.
-"Well, there are two of us, and only you. You are being aimed, neither of us is. So, it's quite obvious that we can have what we want, isn't it." the man replied.
Just after he had finished his reply, a voice of shooting came from behind the men. The man wearing shirt shouted for pain, and fell down dead. The first man turned to see what happened, and Luis didn't hesitate to use this as an advantage. He raised the pistol he had been fixing, quickly got bullets from his pocket, loaded the pistol, and shot the man.
Luis lifted his head, and looked to the direction where the first shot had come. He saw a man walking down a small hill, coming towards Luis.
After a few moments the long man had reached him.
-"Thank you for saving my life, stranger. I wouldn't have been able to deal both of them alone." Luis said.
-"That was nothing. I have actually been after these two for a while. They are wanted for murder they committed few months ago in a city east from here." the man replied. "So, are you okay?"
-"Yes, I'm okay, thanks to you. I'm sorry that I can not give anything to you, I'm so poor."
-"That's okay, the satisfaction of killing these two was reward enough to me."
-"Can I at least have your name?"
-"You surely know it already, it's just that you haven't seen my face before. I'm the Hunter" the man replied. After saying this, he turned around, and started walking away to north.
Long after the man had left, Luis was still standing there, shocked. "I was saved by the Hunter!" Finally, he returned to the world, looked down the pistol, which was working perfectly now, and went inside to have some food.
