Chapter 78 Blackie
Zachary and a few other members were training their target practice in the basement. "Bang! Bang!" The gunshots kept ringing in their ears. Although they wore ear mufflers, the sound still made their eardrums tremble. Gradually, the entire ground beside their feet was filled with empty bullet shells. From the looks of it, each of them had fired at least a hundred shots.
"Alright guys, let's call it a day," Sienna looked at her watch, took off her ear muffler, and said.
Everyone who was there stopped shooting. Sienna walked over to Zachary, pulled out a black pistol, and handed it to Zachary, saying, "This is for you!"
"For me!" Hearing Sienna's words, Zachary was surprised. He instinctively took the pistol and stroked it in his hands for a moment.
Compared to Sienna's small pistol, this pistol was obviously rougher. Its grip was so big that Sienna could hardly grasp it with one hand. Moreover, there were many scratches on it, giving it a rustic look.
Holding the gun in his hand, the rough edges of the gun hurt Zachary's palm slightly, but he somehow felt connected to it.
"I think this gun was made for me." Zachary couldn't bear to let it go, but he seemed to think of something, then proceeded to hand the gun back to Sienna. "As an ordinary citizen, I don't think it's appropriate for me to carry a gun."
In Hasbrouck, not everyone could have guns on them. Even for policemen, they might only be able to use a gun once in their entire career. Carrying a gun illegally might lead to trouble.
Sienna and the rest understood Zachary's concerns, but she didn't take the gun back from him. Instead, she took out a small notebook and handed it to Zachary, saying, "Your gun license!"
Zachary was taken aback. He took the book from her and opened it. Inside, there was a photo of him and a stamp from the Public Security Bureau. Obviously, it was authentic.
"This..." Zachary didn't know what to say.
Sienna waved her hand, indicating that he didn't need to say much. She added lightly, "This gun suits you."
"Thank you!" Zachary put away the gun certificate and admired the gun lovingly as if he had just gotten a new toy.
"Zachary, try two shots!" Silas urged at the side.
Zachary nodded. He stood in front of the target, held his breath, aimed at the target. "Bang!"
He suddenly felt his own arm shaking violently. The huge recoil made his arm move up from the momentum and his eardrum was still ringing from the loud sound.
He then turned his attention towards the target, which he obviously missed. On the contrary, there was a huge black hole on the wall above the target.
"This gun is powerful!" Zachary turned his head in surprise and looked at Sienna. The power of this gun was obviously much stronger than that of an ordinary pistol, one might even say it could be compared to an IMI Desert Eagle. "It's called Blackie!" Sienna said bluntly.
"Blackie!" Zachary touched the gun in his hand and felt a sense of close affinity in his heart. He aimed the gun at the target again.
Learning from his previous shot, Zachary held the gun with more strength this time and aimed the muzzle at a lower angle because Blackie's recoil was too strong. No matter how much strength he used to stabilize his arm, the momentum would naturally cause his arm to cock-up.
"Bang!"
With a loud sound, a fist-sized hole appeared on the target. It was exactly the place where the eighth ring was located.
"Not bad, you managed to hit the eighth ring with Blackie the second time," Gorilla said with a smile.

Zachary said nothing and fired a few more shots. He managed to hit the ninth ring steadily soon, and occasionally even got the bull's eye.
"Alright, Zachary, Blackie will be with you in the future," Sienna said.
Everyone else turned to look at him, their eyes dark and serious.
"Yes!" Zachary also felt like he'd been given a responsibility. This gun didn't seem like any ordinary gun.
Just as they were about to leave the shooting range, the sound of sirens erupted around the entire room together with a red light flashing on the walls. Zachary was startled and confused.
Sienna and the rest immediately turned gloomy and they shouted, "We have intruders."
"Let's go up and have a look!" Sienna said decisively.
In an instant, the group of people, led by Gorilla, rushed forward. Their movements were fast and silent as this was clearly their forte. Seeing this, Zachary also followed in a hurry.
The group of people quickly arrived at the iron gate on the first floor. There, they saw Hodge Wong, the old man who greeted Zachary and Sienna, sitting in his wheelchair behind the iron gate. In his hand was a gun, pointed directly at the corridor behind the iron gate.This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.
On the other side of the iron gate, the corridor was filled with more than 20 policemen. When they saw the gun in Hodge's hand, they immediately became frantic. They quickly pulled out their own gun, pointed it at Hodge, and shouted, "Drop the gun and surrender immediately!"
However, compared to Hodge's steady grip, their hands were trembling with anxiety.

As Sienna and the others arrived, the policemen in the corridor became even more nervous.
A voice suddenly rang out from nowhere. "It's them, that woman, and the guy next to her."
Zachary looked over and saw that it was Cyril, the burly policeman they encountered at the gate of the nursing home earlier. As soon as Cyril called out, he saw Sienna's gang cock the guns in their hands. All of them had their guard up, especially Gorilla at the forefront, who was still half-naked with an AK47 in his arms. Seeing all this, the policemen were intimidated.
"Who are these people?" Cyril felt a shiver run down his spine and he quickly retreated to the back of the group behind all the policemen. He was worried that those people would shoot his men randomly, and there was clearly no room to escape if it happened.
When Diego saw Sienna's group, he was also shocked. Through his son, he learned that the other party had guns. What he didn't expect was for them to have so many, and he never imagined they'd be so ballsy to open fire on policemen. For a moment, he could feel his own heart shaking.
"Put down your guns. We can talk this out," Diego yelled then quickly ducked back behind the other policemen.
"What do you mean?" Sienna frowned and growled.
Cyril shouted, "We're here to catch the criminal. You better surrender now, or else..."
Before he could finish, he saw the gorilla-like burly man in the front reload the bullets in his AK47. He was so terrified that he immediately pulled back his head.
"We just want Zachary Ching, we don't have anything to do with anyone else. Don't do anything that you'll regret. Harboring a criminal is a crime." Diego was far more observant than his son. He could tell that Sienna's gang weren't people he'd want to mess with, so he made his target clear.
Zachary frowned and said coldly, "What did I do? Why do I have to be arrested?"
Cyril had suffered in his hands. When he heard what Zachary said, he couldn't help but said, "You committed a hit and run. You beat someone up and caused serious injuries. Apart from that, you attacked the police and refused to come back to the station. These are all crimes, so you better surrender now."
