A/N: A very short one. Next one will be longer. I promise!
Chapter 3
A man, slightly bent under a quite cumbersome weight, entered a church from a side entrance. Reached the altar, he laid down the body, freed it from the plastic bag and disposed it in a prone position, straightening the legs and opening the arms. Then, extracting an hourglass from a little plastic bag, he opened the right hand of his victim, put there the object and closed the victim's fingers around it. Finally, straightening himself, he bowed his head and made the sign of the cross just before exiting undisturbed the church, protected by the darkness of the night.
One hour after the rising of the sun, two police cars stopped in front of the church, their sirens breaking the silence of the neighbourhood.
