Hi, and welcome to the second last scene in this story (tear, tear). I hope that I have not disappointed anyone's expectations. Anyway, in the timeline of the story, this is after the anime series of Chrno Crusade. That means no Rosette or Chrno in this story. Also, Azmaria is now a member of the Magdalene Order. All of this is before the Great Depression hits the world.

CHRNO CRUSADE: PATH OF THE GREEN MILE
ACT TWO, SCENE ELEVEN: PERSONAL JOURNEY
After the events that transpired in New York, Azmaria embarked on a secret and personal journey. A journey in search of a beloved and invaluable friend; A friend whom she parted ways when she finally fulfilled her destiny. It was a very hot day, where Azmaria decided to hitch a taxi ride all the way to a prison. Maximum security.
"Why would the order say that he's in a prison?" Azmaria asked herself. "I hope he didn't do anything wrong…"
The cab stopped in front of the prison gates. The cabby looked at her funny.
"Are you sure you want to stop here?"
Azmaria nodded.
"You're a little young to be traveling alone, aren't you?"
"Why do people keep saying that?" she asked herself. "Yes, I'm young but I'm older than I used to be."
"………$18.50 please."
Azmaria handed the money over to the cabby and he sped off. Azmaria passed the gates and headed over to the main office of the prison.
"Excuse me," she asked the guard.
"Hmmm?"
"I'm looking for someone. His name is John. John Coffey."
"John Coffey? Let's see…" The guard looked at the files, and found John's name. "Here it is. John Coffey. Says here he's in E block."
"Where the E block?"
"Uh, go right, straight out the doors, across the yard. You can't miss it."
"Okay! Thank you!"
"Hey, wait! You're friend…"
He was too late to tell him. Azmaria was already down the hall.
"Oh, well. Let her find out for herself."
Azmaria darted across the yard, and found E block.
"Okay, here we go."
She knocked on the door.
"Come in!" a voice call out. "It's open."
Azmaria opened the door slowly. Three guards were standing around a desk.
"Uh, hello," Azmaria said nervously.
"Hello," one of the guards said. "What's you're name?"
"Azmaria. Azmaria Hendrick."
"Azmaria, eh? What brings you to E block?"
"I'm looking for John. John Coffey."
The guards all looked at each other. Their faces were all expressionless.
"She's looking for John," one of them whispered. "What do we tell her?"
"What's wrong?" Azmaria asked.
"He's dead," a voice said behind her.
Azmaria jumped. "What?"
"I said, John Coffey is dead."
A sad ending due to John's death (although those who actually watched the Green Mile knew it would end this way). I know this scene was kind of short but I had to build up the suspense. Please R&R this scene and tell me what you think!
