Spiritual Investigation

Chapter 10: The Bosses

A church...of course...its always a church is it? According to what Dingo gave us, these followers of the Skinner work underground of a church that hasn't been used in hundreds of years. Its practically landmark of this city and loved by many Christians. If they knew what was going on under this place they would be completely angered and possible cause of major commotion about it. So to keep things low, I brought only Cassy with me on this task. We're going to infiltrate the underground hideout, find out what their next move is and put a stop to it. I load my handgun with a fresh clip of ammo before I look over at Cassy to see her in a full black S.W.A.T uniform without a helmet. She puts on a pair of black fingerless gloves and puts a handgun in her thigh holster and notices I'm looking at her.

"What? I can't be prepared?"

"We're just sneaking into the place. Don't plan on a firefight."

"And what if one does breakout? Then what."

"I'll try not to get shot, simple."

As I exited the car she rolled her eyes at me before we made our way around he church to its back. From what Dingo said, there's a hidden passageway on the edge of the church. It took us about ten minutes to find it, but after we did, I opened it up to be met by a long pitch black corridor that seemed to split off in many directions. I groan and whip out my flashlight, descending into it, Cassy staying close behind me. We got to the first split path and I look at each one of them before out of no where, a ghost that looked like a priest appeared in front of me, catching me off guard.

"Oh shit!"

"Language young man. You are in the area of the lord."

"Sorry, you just caught me off guard. Who are you?"

"I am the priest of this church. Well I was many years ago before my death. These corridors were created when I was alive to transport certain spiritual items throughout the church."

"So these tunnels are quite old. You seem to know about it, can you help us find this group of murderer's? We were told they created an underground hideout here under the church."

"Yes, I've noticed. They are quite troublesome and need to be rid of here. Please, follow me."

The priest starts to walk down one of the paths and Cassy and I follow him closely. It feels like we've been walking these tunnels for hours and I begin to wonder how these followers can navigate this place. We finally make it to the end of the tunnel and arrive in an open area where crates of weapons, explosives, power tools and other things line the walls and walk ways. In the very middle a large building complex stands with hundreds of these followers working, guarding, and seem to be digging for things. I thank the priest before me and Cassy head over to a crate to hide behind it, the priest then disappearing.

"They've been really busy. All these weapons were all smuggled here without anyone knowing...and all these explosives...they could start a war with all this."

"Why do they need all of this anyway?"
