Chapter 14

'Excuse me, Justin said towards the woman standing on a bench, can you lead us to the Virgin between rocks?'

The woman nodded and sat up.

'So many pictures...' Giriko said, running towards the big painting.

'This is it.' the woman said.

'Thank you.' Justin said. The woman left without saying a word.

'Is this it? I can see nothing special.' Giriko said.

'Oh, really? Tell me what you see.'

'A woman dressed in blue... having a circle above her head... patting a child's baby, baby which has a long cross... and an angel... and a child with a circle above... and the woman seems to want to pat the other's child head... the angel looks jealous and mad.'

'What does it say to you?'

'Hey take me out of here!' Giriko answered.

'This painting was painted by Leonardo da Vinci. He was asked by the church. But this is the second one.'

'Do you mean... there's another one?'

'Yes, in Paris. But the other one wasn't liked by the church.'

'Why?' Giriko asked.

Justin pulled out of his pocket a photo.

'But this is the same painting.' Giriko noticed.

'Not really, look up for differences.'

'Well this one in the photo is darker...'

'And?'

'Nothing else?'

'Look at signs, faces, anything.'

'Oh, here's one!' Giriko exclaimed pointing towards angel's hand, that angel seems to... cut something?'

'More exactly...The woman is Mary, Jesus' mother, the child she pats is probably young Jesus and the angel is Uriel. Mary keeps the invisible head of Mary Magdalene while Uriel cuts her throat.'

'Oh, wow! This explains everything!'

'Yes, it does.'

'When we go back you got to explain me more.'

'All you want to know, Giriko, all you want to know.'

'Look!' Giriko pointed towards the painting on the wall. He approached and placed 4 fingers on the frame, 2 of each hand.

'What are you doing?' Justin asked widening his eyes.

'It's something here...' Giriko explained and slowly pulled the picture towards him, widening the space between it and the wall. A small piece of paper fell down. Giriko lightly put it back and Justin picked the paper up.

'Find Coco McGave and give him to the police.' Justin read.

'Is that all?'

'Yes it is...'

'Back to the police station...'

'It seems so...'

Justin said, taking a step forward. Giriko took his hand. Justin blushed.

'You don't have to be shy with me.' Giriko laughed.

Justin nodded and squeezed his hand. 'I have no problem with us being both men... I just want to be sure...' Justin started.

'That I won't break your heart.' Giriko interrupted him.

'No.'

'Mmm?' Giriko said intrigued.

'I am not sure if I deserve you.'

'If you deserve me?' Giriko laughed lightly, titling Justin's head up.

'Justin, I don't deserve you! You are hot, bright, cute, loving, loveable and awesome. You are clean and your soul is free. Mine is filled with sins.' he said and leaned lightly and kissed his lips. Even if Justin was way too shy to kiss back, he continued the kiss, pulling Justin closer and wrapped Justin's hands around himself. Giriko hugged him and kissed him more. Justin finally kissed him back, squeezing Giriko closer.

'Wow, priest, have some patience. Wait until tonight...' Giriko said with a lustful voice.
