. Derrick leaned against the outside wall of the Wing Zero church as he took one last drag off of his cigarette. Hilton's disappearance had gone widely unnoticed, mostly because of Derrick's efforts, it had taken alot of inside connections and string pulling, but he had managed to have the police call off the search for Hilton.
Of course, Hilton himself had been a help there as well. Few people acknowledged Hilton's existence, his disliking for forced weekly gatherings at the church and his lack of appearance in public helped to tag him as just another face in the crowd.
Derrick lit a new cigarette and contemplated some more. Yes, convincing the police to drop the search for Hilton's body was difficult, but finding out what Hilton had been planning so secretly was an even more difficult task, he glanced down at the small scar on his finger, a slightly itchy reminder of his vow to secrecy on the matter, it was a pity Derrick had little regard for his blood.
The cellphone in Derrick's coat pocket went off, bringing the newly promoted Wing Zero priest out of his trance.
"Derrick." he said as he clicked the Receive button.
"How goes the clean-up ?" the coarse aged voice on the other side asked.
"The Gundam has been dismantled and is on it's way to the main church under the name of construction equipment. Hilton has become nothing more than a memory as well."
"Very good. Go about your normal business until contacted again. The Great Reawakening is at hand, but the time is not yet right, so until then, you will wait, we will all wait."
"Yes sir..." Derrick answered. "...you old fool." he added after placing the disconnected cellphone back into his pocket.
Derrick knew exactly where his loyalties were placed, on himself, and he knew how to play every angle to his advantage, it was what had gotten him through life and into the lofty position he currently had, yet he wanted more, and had already devised his own plan to obtain it.
A great reawakening is certainly going to take place, but you silly bastards will not have the chance to see it. Derrick thought as he flicked the remains of his cigarette to the street below.
Elsewhere, in a secluded room lit only by the red and green blinking of the computers lining the wall, a large human sized capsule opened, temporarily filling the room with a blinding white light and mist...
Evets : So, what do ya think so far ? Please review, as I said before, I certainly hope to have this become a series, and I need all the input I can get, good bad or ugly, it all works for me.
