“Come
out, come out, wherever you are!”
Father
Paladina knelt in his uncomfortable position beneath the staircase, eyes closed
and struggling to control his breathing. Each gasp sounded like the cracking of
a tree branch, and he couldn’t fight down an occasional sob of terror. His
heart beat in his ears, and his veins seemed about to burst open.
“I
can smell you, Priest. I know you didn’t run far. Where are you?”
The
voice came from upstairs in the local priest’s office. Niccolo couldn’t
remember a time in his life when he had been so on edge and afraid. It felt
like a sickness in his stomach, as all of his muscles tensed simultaneously. It
made his body shake, and he worried that he might throw up at any moment.
“We
both know how this will end. If you come out now, I’ll do it quick. If you make
me come and find you, though …”
Niccolo
struggled to control his breathing as hot tears ran down his cheeks. He reached
into his front-right pocket for the single item he kept there. His rosary,
which he held between his fingers and pressed against his lips, praying as hard
as he could for the strength to deal with whatever was happening to him.
Not
to overcome it, though. Part of him—if he were honest, a large part—knew
he was about to die alone in this church, and the only thing he prayed for was
the strength to die well.
After
all, right now, not only his life hung in the balance: so did his everlasting
soul.
“This
basement has no exits. I know this church. This is my church. Not
yours,” the man—if still a man—said from just upstairs. “I never thought I
would actually get to kill a priest here. This is delightful!”
What
is he waiting for?
Niccolo wondered, in fear. Tim Spencer—or whatever controlled him—seemed to
enjoy taking his time. Every muscle in Niccolo’s body ached, and he had to
fight to keep from sobbing. Why is he doing this? Why is he waiting
up there?
It
felt like he’d been hiding under the stairs forever, but it had probably lasted
for less than a minute.
“We’re
having fun, aren’t we, Priest?” Tim asked.
Niccolo
couldn’t contain a shudder, and the movement caused his shoulder to bump
against one of the boxes behind him. The noise it made wasn’t that loud, but to
Niccolo, it rumbled like an explosion in the stillness of the basement.
If
his pursuer heard, though, he didn’t let on. Tim hummed to himself as he took
his first step down the staircase. It creaked heavily underfoot, and Father
Paladina winced when dust fell on his head.
Another
step; the sound of the boot on the stairs sounded like a nail in the priest’s
coffin. Tim kept on coming, humming a tuneless tone, until the father could see
muddy boots in front of his face.
“Priest?
You know I’ll find you. You can’t hide from me.”
Niccolo’s
whole body trembled, and the man had called it true. His hiding place seemed
weak and pathetic now. As soon as Tim reached the bottom of the staircase, he
would spy Niccolo. The priest had backed himself into a corner and had nowhere
to go.
He
shouldn’t have stayed here at Saint Joseph’s Cathedral alone. Should have gone
with Father Reynolds to his home; splitting up had turned into a terrible idea,
and one that might well cost him his life.
