A guy stood at the gate with a full bodysuit and a heavy loaded gun. He put his hand up giving them a stop sign
Chuck : stop for checking
John was at the driver sit, rose was seated that the passenger side and Anna and Steven was at the back. He ( chuck ) walks to the driver sit, one hand holding the door and another holding the gun. He turns to look at Anna
Chuck : Anna, look beautiful as usual
