The door of the convent opened and the man inside was startled to find five equally gorgeous girls standing in front of him. Though they all wear a face mask that covers their nose and mouth, their eyes and body suggest how beautiful they are.
"My, God blessed this day," The man shook his head looking at the five girls from head to toe while licking his lower lip.
"Hi, we are looking for Sister Faye, she is expecting us," Brylee said with a smile behind her mask.
The man grinned widely but not for long when he heard the other girl said.
"We are here for Torin Wald," Bell said in a grumpy tone.
The man frowned.
"What? I thought we were going to do this the easy way?" Brylee said matter-of-factly.
Bell cocked her head and said, "It's too long. I prefer it a hard and fast way." Then she walked past Brylee and Briony.
"Move aside," She said in an intimidating way looking at the man from head to toe.
The man who was dumbfounded unconsciously stepped aside to make way for the five girls. They were already at the center of the nave when the man snapped back.
"Wait!" His voice echoed through the walls of the empty nave.
The five girls look at him. The man opened his mouth to say something but he was cut when Bell spoke. "Where is Torin Wald?" Bell asked in a cold tone.
The man gritted his teeth and questioned them back, "Who are you?"
"I'm sorry but the introduction is not necessary. We are here for Torin Wald. Just tell us where he is and you will be spared." Brina started to persuade the man to help them and point where they could find Torin Wald.
But the man seems unwilling to help.
"You are bounty hunters, are you?" The man narrowed his eyes and his whole body is now on full alert.
The next thing they know, the man's voice is echoing inside the church. "Hunters! Hunters!" Alerting everyone inside the convent.
"I told you, I've never met a gang of men who didn't resist an arrest," Bell said sarcastically.
In just a fraction of seconds, they heard footsteps coming.
"We should separate," Brina suggested.
"Okay, Brylee take Brina with you and find Torin Wald. We'll meet you outside in five minutes." Bell said, staring at Brylee. Her eyes send a message that she knows Brylee and Brina could understand. She knows that Brylee could search for each and every room in less than five minutes.
She intentionally has Brina go with her because she knows that they are unlikely to be attacked since it looks like all the gang members that reside in the convent are coming their way except for Torin Wald that would most probably try to escape.
While she chose Briony to be with her because she knows that she can be harmed but she'll never be injured.
On the other hand, she was to keep an eye on Bianca.
Bianca can fight, but to what extent, she is yet to discover.
Briony closed her eyes, her eyeballs were moving under her lids. When she opened her eyes, she said, "Some of them will be coming from the second floor, in that stair." She pointed at the door near the main door.
"Someone's coming from the cloister." Briony continued. They looked at the door near the choir that is connected to the cloister.
"You can start behind that high altar." Briony pointed at the high altar opposite the main door.
