A few days after her intoxication, she needed to confess.
______________________________
She held her rosary in her hand as she walked up the steps of the large church in front of her. Ruby grew up a strict catholic, it was what she believed because of her Russian mother.
______________________________
Her mother always made sure that she always went to church, made her say the sermon in the language spoken and everything.
______________________________
"Welcome Ruby." The priest of the church said, she always remembered him. He was there since she was a young child, and he's still here. She only knew him as Father Dimitri, he was from Moscow and she was close to him like a second father.
______________________________
In the confession room, Ruby's fingers were tangled in her rosary as she heard the door close on the side that Father Dimitri was on.

"Bless me Father for I have sinned. It has been 3 months since my last confession. These are my sins." Ruby began as she sniffled.
______________________________
"Father, all I feel is wrath. The deadly sin of wrath. It started after Wilson Fisk entered the picture in the precinct." She started to explain as her fingers slid all over her rosary beads.
______________________________
The closing prayer ended the same and the confession always ended with Ruby thanking Father Dimitri.

Ruby only remembered him as the kind man that he had always been, she remembered when he arrived back where she was from and was thrilled when he came to New York.
______________________________
She was at the coffee shop near her apartment, she was sitting in the corner. The warmth from her drink just made her feel at home. It was raining and it was her favorite type of weather.
______________________________
She was walking, heading back to her apartment with the rain pouring down around her. She heard soft steps behind her but she just shrugged it off as it was nothing to her.

Her brain froze when she felt a gloved hand over her mouth and a forceful pull to an open area nearby.

Her sight was becoming foggy, then all blackness, she couldn't feel her senses.

______________________________
Hours seemed to pass, until her head was dunked into a bucket of freezing cold water. She woke up; she was shocked awake.

Her eyes stung, it was due to the cold water flush.

"Lift your pretty head," a gruff voice seemed to be heard as Ruby was coming around.

She tried to move once she came around but she noticed, she was bound with duct tape.

She finally looked up and saw the face that she thought she'd never see again.
