*Kevin's POV*

I walk out the door and start to make my way to the coffee store. I grab a cup and head out again. I don't really know what to do, and I find myself walking to that hill where Chris and James were making out. Sometimes Uganda isn't that bad.

*Connor's POV*

I walk for a while. I don't really have anyone to show 'The Book of Arnold' to. The whole village is already invested in Arnoldism. I make my way up to that hill Chris and I found a long time ago. I see someone sitting there alone. Is that Kevin? I walk up and sit next to him.

"Hey um Kevin." I say. Oh god I am so ga—no nope I am a heterosexual male. 100% straight.

"Oh Connor! What brings you here?" He asks turning to me.

"I was going to show 'The Book of Arnold', but everyone's already converted here. Why are you here?" I explain. I set the book I had in my hand down next to me.

"I dunno, I was bored." He says with a shrug, taking a sip of a coffee cup.

"Kevin, is that coffee? You know that's a sin!" I say.

"You know what else is a sin?"

"What?" I say.

"Huh, I didn't say anything." Kevin says to me with a confused look in his eyes. Shi-shoot. That stupid voice is back in my head. I'm not even having gay thoughts! I am totally not thinking about running my hands through Kevin's hair while he— NOPE CONNOR STOP

"Oh, uh sorry. I'm gonna go.." I say, swiftly standing and walking down the hill again. I notice that there seems to be a lot of extra people moving into the village. Maybe I could show the book of Arnold to them! I start to make my way towards them. I realize that they have guns strapped on their backs. Maybe I should leave them alone. It's too late though. One of the men grabs my shoulder and yanks me around.

"What the fuck is that in your hand?" He spits in my face.

"Oh! It's a book of my religion." I say. My heart starts to race a little. What if I get shot in the face like that other guy?

"Oh, one of those Jesus people. I see," he begins to say. He then takes out a small walkie talkie and says something in Ugandan, "well, you should be so lucky that I don't kill you right now. My general will be hearing about your people being back."

His general? We already have general BFN on our side... is he from somewhere else?

"If you don't mind me asking, who is your general?"

"Mind your own fucking business." He says pushing me to the ground. I quickly make my way back to the mission hut. Who the heck are these new recruits? Oh and a new general. What if he was like the old general BFN. What if they declare war on us? I open the door to the small and drab hut. James and Derek are sitting on the couch. James is sketching while Derek is reading some Harry Potter book.

"Hey Connor, you okay? You look a bit shook up." Derek says, setting the book down on the table.

"Yeah, it's just there are these soldiers in the village. A-and this one told me he is telling his general about us." I explain.

"Wait what." James asks, looking up from his sketchbook.

"There are other soldiers here, from somewhere else."

"Shit." James exclaims.

"Language James!" Derek says.

"I don't know why they are here." I take a seat on the couch.
