NEPHLEM

“I had to do it, father, or else many people would have died,” I spoke defensively.So, as we were fighting some crazy bastard last night who thought the only way to be happy was to control people into worshiping him. I had to risk people seeing magic. But that was because he was holding them captive and threatened to kill them if I didn’t give him what he wanted. The ring of the dammed.But they were not understanding that.“You should still have waited for Roland to do what he was doing. He did show up, didn’t he?” father asked.“Well, yeah but…”“But nothing Mubanga. I was taking care of things. What would have happened if those people had their eyes opened? We would be running from the police as we speak,” Roland spoke.I just cursed under my breath and looked down.“I know you love your job and helping people. I like the fact that you are helping here and working with us. But you need to start following orders, Mubanga. Those people were furious after they heard about it…”“You t

“May I help you?” she spoke.I didn’t even know what to say. I just stood there with my back facing her. If I showed my face to her — whoever she is she was going to recognize me since I was pretty well known at their church. And that was something I didn’t want to happen here.I was doing his without Roland’s permission and if he was to know I was here, then he was going to be furious. He will flip. He told me to lay low and wait for tomorrow. But I couldn’t do that. All because I was mad at them.“I was looking for a bathroom,” I spoke.There was silence for a few seconds then she spoke, “bathroom here? Anyway, it’s on the other side of the church. And you should have just come to listen there without you hiding here. It’s not like the pastor will eat you or anything,” she spoke, and I heard her laugh lightly.“I thought it was just for people that go to this church,” I spoke, but still faced my back on her.“It’s for everyone that is tired of these murders. We just want to spread t

I didn’t even know what to do at that moment. I sat on a couch in father Michaels’ office. Trying to make sense of what they told me. If it was true or they were just lying to me so that I didn’t mess the whole place until I got the ring of the damned.After I told father about it, the old man just sat there as he thought about it all. All he told me was we needed to get at the bottom of this or the Vatican won’t be happy to hear about this. That me and Roland are the ones that messed up everything.Even though they are the ones that gave us the case files. Telling us we needed to get the ring from the vampires, they were still going to be upset that we allowed the ring to slip from our fingers. Only God knows what the shapeshifters were thinking of doing with the damn ring.I tried calling Roland a couple of times. But the man wasn’t responding to me. I just hope he has done nothing stupid to get the ring or get Sunny to spill the beans about where the vampire lord was keeping the ri

I know meeting with Suzan was the worst decision I can ever make. Mostly now that there was a bastard out there that was thinking of using the ring for bad things. Endangering all of humanity.She was working for the man that was gunning up on me and they wanted my church down. So, yeah, I was aware of the crap I was getting myself into. She didn’t recognize me the other night only because I had my back facing her. I wonder how she missed my hair.But I burnished all those possibilities and walked to her car. It was embarrassing that she was the one picking me up. But I had no car, I was an assassin for the church. Not someone they pay to kill the president. I gestured for her to just stay in the car as I entered. I swallowed loudly as I turned for her to get a good look at me.“Hey,” I said, and she looked at me with bewildered eyes. “I know this is weird.”“You think? What are you doing here? I’m waiting for….. wait, its you? Why the hell would you want us to meet? Because I’m sure

“Nothing happened,” I argued as she interrogated me. She even went as pacing up and down while I sit on the chair. “We just had dinner and talk about our churches,” I added but the woman didn’t seem to believe what I was telling her. She was clinched to asking me if I was going to be dating her from now on.She tapped her chin as she looked at me questionably. And she continued the same thing for as long as I can imagine. And I was tired, and all I wanted to do was go to bed and prepare for my meeting with Sunny. But she wasn’t letting me go that easily.“Charlie if you have nothing more to say I would like to sleep. I told you everything that happened between me and Suzan. but if you still don’t want to believe me, then that is on you. Don’t keep me here for nothing,” I stood up, but she pushed me back on the chair. “Dude,” I argued.She cleared her throat and let me have it, “the woman is a good girl. I like her for you. I think its high time you start dating, actually. You both loo
