Passage 1: A new day

He was facing away from the priest.

"I have my ways father."

He spun around and looked Zeek in the eyes.

"But that is not important, what is is that soon you will be in danger, how long can you hide it father. The church hates me and I know, how long till Johas finds out father, how much time do you have left before "someone" tells your superiors."

Now Zeek was starting to get mad, though it was actually mostly fear. He came forward a bit, away from his pulpit. "Are you threatening me?"

"No my good father, I am here to invite you my protection and friendship."

He paused.

"If you don't accept them, then I blackmail you."

"This is absurd." Zeek was worried now and was begining to pace about. "The church would never turn their back on me."

"At first they'll say it's a miracle, and so will you."

He was walking around the good father now.

"Then Johas will check it out himself, he will ask you if you think it was god touched."

He stopped in front of Zeek, and looked him in the face.

"We both know Johas's blessing Father, he will know the truth, and have you killed. Probably calling you a spy and ruining your name, it would be the first time he did it."

"But I can't just up and go. Oh, they'll find out and hunt me down. My reputation will be tarnished."

"Think of the people father, is hunting and killing the innocent because of their believes, sexual orientation or anything that Johas doesn't like right Father, is it?"

He was again walking around the father.

"Your reputation wont be tarnished, but refurbished. The hunted and hurt innocent will see you as a hero after they see who you really are."

He stopped in front of Zeek.

"Father, after this is all over, and new head of the church will be needed, I don't want to destroy it, just to stop the mindless killings."

"I don't care about reputation! I care about the people! I only worry if others think me a deserter then they won't, no, can't trust me."

Realizing the pointless of refusal he asked just to confim his suspicions. "There isn't another option, is there?"

"Listen, I know it is hard. You truth can hurt, but the current catholic church has become paranoid and is now hurting the people Father."

He stopped at the window, looking out it.

"The screams of the children in the concentration camp I was held in for years still haunts me now."

He looked at the father.

"Is that good for the people father, concentration camps?"
