Chapter 11

Get Out

It was as perfect as could be to release Ron and Tom from their cell, every guard and soldier had rushed outside to foil his phoney escape while he was really inside the cathedral the whole time. All that remained inside the cathedral were the priests and nuns who cursed the guards for being there anyway and each time he passed one of them through the hall it was as if they could see right through his disguise which must have meant that these guards had been here for awhile and they knew what they looked like but they stayed quite and carried on their daily duties.

Even though there was no soldier or guard was within site he kept down low and avoided attention at all costs. He also knew he had to get the hell outta here soon cause he knew if he could sense A2 then he could sense him. Too bad he couldn't stay around to take a look at this beautiful cathedral but one thing was for sure everything looks pretty from outside a cell so he kept going down to the lower levels on the circling stair case.

Finally when getting down another level he could hear Ron and Tom's voices from behind the door. He opened it up leading to another hall kinda set up like his and immediately knew which cell they were in since he could sense Ron's presence. "Shhhh keep quiet I think I hear a guard" Ron's voice whispered.

Ron's ability to sense him must been numbed with drugs cause he would had sensed him by now. That was his best ability.

He walked over to the barred doors that lead to the cell where they were kept at. At first they both glared up at him with wondering eyes then soon they finally realized who he really was. "Jake how did you get here?" Ron asked while he was clicking the key into the gate unlocking it. "Long story I'll tell you later here unlock yourselves" He threw the keys over to Tom cause he wasn't as securely chained up as Ron was who had the same steel shackles he had before. After Tom unlocked the heavy set of shackles on Ron he sighed in relief. "Oh man that feels so much better..."

"Yeah I know I had the same set." Jake moaned. All Tom did was laugh "Looks like I was the lucky one but baby face here can't sense anything man they put him on something." Ron shook his head in anger "They gave me this same shit back when me and Francis were in Germany... I didn't need my senses to know the apprentices were around..." He said while cautiously walking down the hall "I'm afraid your right..." But before he could finish the door knob at the end of the hall turned which immediately put them into hiding.

Instead of guards there were two nuns carrying in laundry "I got a good idea " Ron whispered to him. Oh god what did this crazy man had in mind. Ron stood up and walked toward the nuns. "What the hell is he doing?" Tom nervously asked Jake. "I don't know"

Instead of the nuns being horrified they talked to him like he was a welcomed guest. They both knew very little English but the conversation ended when the nuns gave him a pile of nun clothes then vanished off. After awhile Jake and Tom got and walked over to Ron they both already knew what was to come. "They'd never hurt a few nuns." He said with a grin. "Hell no your not getting my ass in those clothes" Tom flat out complained "Why do I need a new disguise?" Jake asked but all they did was laugh "Your a weird looking guard dude here guys just shut up and put these I want to get the hell out of here." Eventually after convincing Tom to do it they changed into the nun outfits which completely covered them from head to toe. "They'll never figure us out." Then completely covered their heads with the head dresses. "Okay keep your head low and don't look up or they'll immediately know we're not nuns." "You better not tell one single damn soul about this Ron" Tom really didn't like this whole idea.

Then they heard the steps of guards about to come into the room. "Okay here comes the true test" Ron quickly added before they entered. They kept their heads low as the guards passed by. Even though Jake knew both him and Ron could take them out easily it still made him nervous.

After a few seconds the guards wondered off into another room then came Ron's giggling of excitement. "This is good lets go" They made their way down the staircase to another room onto the main level. "Alright lets get out of here" Tom whispered. They walked up to the double doors that lead to the main hall. Loud talking and rumbling could be hear from where they stood. "You guys ready?" Jake asked. Both nodded without hesitation before Jake oped the doors up to a room full of guards and soldiers as well as a few priests and nuns.

Jake and everyone else kept moving casually through the crowds like they were ordinary nuns but in reality they were undercover resistance members sweating bullets. They were already half way through it all and coming up onto the door when suddenly and by accident Tom bumped into one of the priests.

Me and Ron nervously watched as the persist took one look at him and frowned. He stood there for awhile with a stern look while staring at him. Oh my god... its all over... Jake thought.

The priest lifted his hand up to his shoulder and patted it with a smile then said "Carry on you duties sister" in french and walked away. Jake cloud sense Tom's sigh of relief all the way from where he stood as well as Ron's but there wasn't time to celebrate so they moved on to the doors and walked right out of the cathedral.

"Alright lets get the hell out of here." Everyone agreed and made off like trees wandering off into the darkness. "okay first things first we got to get of out of these robes and find a ride" As they were walking down the sidewalk they saw a small four seat car. "Forgive me lord" Ron chanted then busted out the window without the car alarm going off. "He has blessed us" Tom laughed.

The whole situation was just wrong... We all got in to the car then after giving it a little hot wiring the engine blasted to life. "Alright lets see what this thing can do" They drove away from the Cathedral still keeping the casual look by driving into moving traffic.

"We need to find the others fast and quick but where will we start?" Tom was right where and how would they... "Ron can sense them when his senses come back" "Yeah but that will take a few hours to wear off and we still got to get some new clothes." That's when they passed by a donation box "Oh may god forgive us..."

After parking and going through the box they put on new outfits, not the best in the world but they were donations. "This is wrong dude..." Tom said while putting his legs into the jeans and pulling them up. "Yeah well we're using these clothes for a good cause anyways."

Jake chuckled "There was nothing right about tonight but like Tom said all the way back at the cathedral this stays between us" Everyone laughed "Agreed" "But you got to admit it was a good idea."

Tom grinned "Yeah I'm pretty sure it wasn't the first time you dressed up like a girl baby face." Both Jake and Tom laughed now it was Ron's turn "Well at least a priest never mistaken me as one of the sisters" That got everyone laughing Tom sighed "Ha ha lets go already"

They all got into the car after their bit of laughter then took off. "Alright now all we got to do is stay low until Ron's numbness wears off." "This sucks so much feels like a hangover plus a stuffed up nose..."

Didn't sound that good at all after saying it like that... but it was hard to focus on the situation at hand knowing that his father was trapped in his own body. "Whats up dude?" Ron could always read his face like a book "Nothing dude.." "Come on tell me whats up"

How could it hurt telling them "A2 is really my father." The car swerved but Ron regained control "What! You got to be kidding so he never died?" Ron asked "A2's nasty dude but I never knew that body they used was your father's" Jake sighed... so much to explain but it was hard for him cause he wasn't too sure. "It's still his body... he talked to me, he even had his blue eyes..." Ron only shook his head "I'm sorry to tell you Jake but that's impossible, once they inject the serum into their bodies the previous owners loose them forever." Jake didn't believe a word he said "I saw it with my own two eyes he was the one who even gave me a guards disguise and distracted the guards while we slipped out."

Tom had a look of anger "A real man never would've killed off a whole squad of men." Those memories always came back to haunt the poor man. Ron sighed "Don't give your hopes up, A2 is the 2nd highest apprentice and that could have been all part of his little plan cause they all like to play with your head like that."

Even though Ron said that he knew... he just knew that his father was still there and still there is if he lasted all those years. Now he wondered how Jason would react but from what he heard his encounter with A2 wasn't pleasant but that couldn't have been his father doing his mother always told him the war stories of him of how he was brave and courageous she even showed them his old ribbons and the Victoria Cross he earned, that just didn't sound like him and most likely was the doing of the monster A2 that took over his body. He had a feeling Jason would believe him... hopefully.
