THE MAFIA DON AND HIS NUN

{Saint Romans Catholic Church}

A white Range Rover drove into the church’s compound and parked in the parking lot. The driver climbed down the car to open the passenger’s seat, then Theresa came down from the vehicle.

She clutched her bible to her chest as she stared at the gigantic church building in front of her.

“Let’s go.” The driver said, adjusting his suit.

Then the both of them walked towards the church’s entrance. Theresa’s gaze was fixed on the two men standing by the entrance.

The two men wore grey suits and pairs of black shoes with an eagle pendant hanged around their necks. The looks on their faces could scare off anyone. They looked like those dangerous men you find a knife or a gun hiding underneath their suits.

“Why would reverend Alfred choose dangerous looking men to guard the church? There is definitely something hidden inside this church.” Theresa thought.

“Good afternoon gentlemen.” Theresa’s driver greeted the two men, placing his right hand on his chest as he greeted them.

“Afternoon.” The men replied, also placing their right hands on their chest.

Theresa wondered why the men placed their hands on their chests when they were greeting themselves.

“Who is she?” One of the men asked as he leveled his gaze on Theresa who stood behind her driver.

“She is the new nun and she is here to perform one of her duties.” Theresa’s driver replied.

The man stared at Theresa, boring his dangerous eyes into Theresa’s unfazed gaze.

“Open the door.” The man said to his colleague, taking his gaze off Theresa.

“I’ll be waiting for you in the car.” Theresa’s driver said, then he walked off.

Theresa stared at the men, then at the opened door. She clutched her bible tightly to her chest and she walked inside the church. The door was shut close after Theresa walked in.

Theresa was now alone in the large church. The whole church shimmered with bright light casting its reflection on some statues in the church.

Everything inside the church looked expensive: the furnitures, the picture frames, the pulpits, even the wall clocks.

The whole church was painted white, and the floor was tiled from wall to wall with white tiles. Some parts of the walls were also tiled.

Hanged on the walls were picture frames of Jesus and his disciples. The picture frames were of different sizes and shapes.

Theresa stood in awe as she stared around the church.

“Time to begin my investigation.” She muttered. She started checking every item in the church for tangible evidence.

After checking every item in the church for almost ten minutes, she found nothing suspicious. The altar was the only place she hadn’t check.

Then Theresa walked to the altar. She checked the pulpits but she found nothing suspicious. She checked the tables and chairs on the altar but got the same result.

Theresa sighed wearily as she climbed down the altar. The fan suddenly blew off the veil on her head to the back of the altar.

“What the fuck is wrong with this veil!” Theresa groaned frustratingly, then she walked over to the back of the altar.

She bent down to pick up the veil and her eyes caught a door, hidden behind a thick white curtain. The white curtain covered the door, making it hard for someone to notice at first glance.

Theresa picked up the veil and she stood upright, then she drew drew curtain away from the door.

Theresa held the silver doorknob, contemplating whether to open it or not.

“What if it’s locked.” A voice said in her head.

“Only one way to find out.” She muttered, then she twisted the cold door knob. Fortunately for her, the door wasn’t locked.

Theresa slowly opened the door wider, revealing a wide passage. Fluorescent bulbs were fixed on the the ceiling, brightening the passage.

“I wonder where this passage leads to.” Rita said, then she stepped in and she closed the door.

She walked through the passage slowly, checking for any signs of danger, till she got to the end of the passge.

There was another door at the end of the passage. It was bigger and larger than the previous door. Branded on the door was a golden eagle logo.

“I’m sure this door leads to the answers I’ve been searching for.” Theresa said as she stared intently at the logo.

She took a deep breath and she pressed a button in. The wall beside the door. The door slowly slid open and a gasp escaped Theresa’s.

“Impossible!” Theresa muttered shockingly as she stared at the view in front of her.

A tall building was standing magnificently on the vast acres of land. Cars of various brands, vans of different sizes and colours, trucks and bikes were all parked around the place.

Several men were carrying huge crates out of the building into the back of the vans.

Luckily for Theresa, non of the men spotted her, because they were busy with what they were doing. She quickly hid behind the nearest truck.

From where she hid, she sighted five men dressed in black suits, standing at the entrance of the tall building with guns in their hands.

The place looked like a secret warehouse of some criminal organization, Technically, it was.

“What’s in those crates?” Theresa muttered, watching as large sized crates were being carried out of the building by hefty men.

She immediately brought out her phone, then she took pictures of the men, and the crates they were carrying.

The men were done loading the crates in the vans, then they all got inside the vans.

Theresa bent down behind the truck as the vans drove towards big iron gates. The gates were immediately opened by two men, then the vans drove out of the place.

Theresa stood upright as the two men closed the gates. The men were puttng also on black suits and black shoes, with dark shades on their faces and heavily loaded guns in their hands.

“I need to get inside damn that building.” Theresa muttered, looking furtively at the building.

“But how will I get past those men without getting killed?” She thought as she took a quick look at the five men standing at the entrance of the building.

The distance from the building to where she was hiding was quite far.

“I need to ease myself.” Theresa heard one of the men standing at gate. Then she heard a footstep approaching the truck she was hiding at.

“I hope he is not coming to this direction.”

The footstep was approaching closer to the truck. Theresa remained on her spot, waiting for the right time to attack the man.

Immediately the man got to the back of thehr truck where Theresa was hiding, she grabbed him closer and smashed his head on the truck’s tank, then the man passed out.

“Hey man, is everything fine over there?” Theresa heard the second man’s voice. When the man got no response from his colleague, he started walking towards the truck.

Theresa quickly bent down and picked the blacked out man’s pistol.

Theresa counted down from three to one, then she rolled out of her hiding spot, and shot the approaching man on his forehand.

The man fell lifeless in the floor, then Theresa also picked up his pistol.

The loud gunshot grabbed the attention of the five men standing at the entrance of the building.

Theresa quickly hid behind another vehicle as the five men rushed to the source of the gunshot.

“What the fuck happened here?” One of the men asked no one in particular, as he stared at the dead man laying on the floor.

“Sound the alarm. There is an intruder in this place.” Another man said.

Before the five men could turn around, Theresa skillfully shot them dead with her guns.

Theresa walked towards the dead men. She knelt in front of one of them and she sighted the same suspicious pendant hanged around his neck.

She stood up immediately and she turned around, then she ran to the tall building. She got to the building within a minute, then she opened the door.

She raised both her guns, with her fingers on the triggers, ready to shoot whoever she saw. She lowered her weapons when she saw no one in the wide hallway.

She walked cautiously across the wide but empty hallway. She moved her head from right to left, checking for any sign of danger. After few meters of walking, she got to an elevator.

She stepped inside the elevator and she pushed the second floor button. The elevator slowly shut, then it started moving upwards. Rita held her guns tightly. Her fingers were still placed on the triggers.

The elevator finally came to halt. Rita raised her weapon as the door slowly opened.

She pulled the triggers immediately she sighted two men walking towards the elevator. The two men fell lifeless on the floor instantly.

More men dressed in black suits, rushed out of different corridors with guns, when they heard the gunshot.

Theresa stepped out of the elevator, turning her neck to the right, she sighted dozens of men running towards her. She also saw dozens of men rushing towards her from the left.

Knowing that she would soon run out of bullets, she took heels and ran forwards. She shot a man who appeared out of a room and she continued running.This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.

The men fired bullets as they chased after Theresa. Luckily for Theresa, non of the bullets hit her.

Although, Theresa was a fast runner, she robe she wore prevented her from running fast. But nevertheless, she kept on running through the long corridor.

Theresa sighted two men standing at the front with their guns aimed at her. The men behind her had stopped shooting, but were still chasing her.

A risky idea suddenly popped into her mind, then she dashed faster towards the two men who pointed their guns at her. The two men pulled their triggers, then Theresa rolled on the floor at the nick of time.

The bullets hit two men behind Theresa. Theresa then raised her gun and fired bullets into the skulls of the men in front of her. It was like killing two birds with a stone.

A wicked smirk appeared on her face and she continued running. She saw a staircase, then she ran up the stairs.

Unknown to Theresa, a man was hiding at a corner upstairs with a rod in his hand, patiently waiting for Theresa.

Immediately Theresa got upstairs, the man hit the rod hard on her head, the she passed out.

{At Alfred’s Mansion}

Alfred stepped out of his bathroom with a towel tied around his waist. Water was dripping from his hair down to his wet body.

His powerfully-built body was tattooed. An eagle tattoo was stood out from other tattoos.

He walked to a corner in his room and he pressed a button on the wall. The wall slid open like a door, revealing a large room filled with expensive clothes, shoes, rings and wristwatches.

Alfred stepped inside the room and he walked to the closet. He picked an expensively tailored white suit and he threw the clothes on, then he wore a pair of black designer shoes.

He wore different expensive rings on his fingers. And on his finger was a big Ruby ring. He picked a gold wristwatch he fixed it around his wrist.

Alfred then stepped out of the room to his bedroom. He stood in front of his dressing mirror. He swept his curly black hair backwards as he stared at his reflection in the mirror.

Alfred heard a knock on the door.

“Come in.” He replied.

The door opened and Caesar stepped inside the room.

“Greetings boss.” Caesar greeted, bowing slightly, with his right hand placed on his chest.

“Yes?”

“I just got a call from the boys.” Caesar said. “They found a lady at the secret warehouse in the church.”

A slight frown formed on Alfred’s face.

“A lady?” Alfred asked with raised brows, as he stared at Caesar through the mirror.

“Yes boss.” Caesar replied, “The lady was putting on a nun’s uniform.”

Alfred instantly knew who the lady was. He remained silent for a while, then he said.

“Go get the car ready.”

“Yes boss.” Caesar bowed, then he turned around and exited the room.

Alfred remained standing in front of his dressing mirror, wondering how Theresa found out about the secret warehouse.

“She might be a spy.” A voice said in Alfred’s head.

“I’m not gonna you spare you Theresa, if I find out that you’re a spy.” Alfred said with clenched jaw, glaring at his reflection in the mirror.
