ISHOT

Both Silas and Annabel moved swiftly thru the Opus Dei housing building. It was 3:00 AM and together Silas and Annabel had work to do. Silas got into the passenger's side of Annabel's sapphire jeep.

How is a woman of god driving a jeep, Silas thought tell he saw the opus Dei cross hanging in the review mirror.

Silas never did thinking about laughing but this was something he had to chuckle at.

"What so funny" Annabel asked as she slide into the drivers seat?

"Nothing" Silas replied and his smile curved back to a scowl.

That was quit weird, Annabel thought as she turned down the black road and drove north to the church of Notre Dame. "Yet somewhat hot" Annabel said quietly to herself. After all Annabel wasn't prohibited to think about the opposite sex.

"Silas"

Silas turned to Annabel.

"Oui".

"Do you want to stay at my house after the deed is done" Annabel question with hopeful eyes.

"I don't have anywhere else to stay,

(The housing building was only for the night)

at least tell Monday."

(It was Thursday)

"So I guess that would be alright as long if you let me pray to the lord"?

"Why of course if you didn't I would fell like I was leaving you out" Annabel said lifting her right pant leg to reveal that she also was wearing a cilice!

Silas stared at the cilice.

"How come you don't limb, even though your cilice is two notches higher then mine" Silas questioned?

"Woman are stronger" Annabel joked.

Silas didn't like this joke, seeing males were top rank in the Opus Dei group.

Annabel pulled into an old church.

"This is the place" Annabel said stepping out of her jeep.

A building completed in the 13th Century stood in front of Annabel and Silas. Tudor and Gothic styles could be seen from side by side. The high alter, rising to 17m was consecrated in 1628. The Lady Chapel dates from 1631. The 58m Bell Tower was destroyed in a bombing raid on the 26/9/44. Round the corner attached to the Church is a reservoir built in 1691, with 2m thick walls, holding 1,800m2 of water. Louis XIV ordered its construction for the garrison and population during drought. Water is collected from the vast roof of the Church.

"Yes this is it, and I've been waiting all my life to met HIM" Silas replied looking at the enormous building.

Annabel nodded, and stared to walk up to the building, Silas soon followed after.

Nock Nock

Annabel hit a big wooden door.

A man with two coal black canes open the door.

"Hello teacher" Silas and Annabel said in unison.

The teacher smiled with a devilish grin as he let both Silas and Annabel into the old church. They both fallowed the teacher/Leigh Teabing down into the old basement.

"Do sit" the teacher said motioning to some uncomfortable looking chairs.

Silas obeyed the teacher but Annabel would rather stand than sit in cheap chairs.

"Teacher, why did you bring us here" Silas questioned?

"Why to tell you the new rules my boy" he replied.

Annabel eyed Leigh, What's he up to, she contemplated.

Leigh motioned to a small picture he had laying on a table.

It was of a girl, around the age of 16 or 17.

"Who is she, and what do you want with her" Silas asked in a concerned voice?

"She is Brettany Row, and she must be taken care of" Leigh pointed to a pistol.

"But teacher she is just a little girl, what could she have done" Silas asked!

"Brettany killed……….Father Aringarosa".

As the teacher said that Silas's world change, and he would make sure Brettany life would end.
