Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 22
[Savior’s Alive Church – Brothers Quarters – Jude’s Room]
The laptop keys felt hot under Jude’s fingers as he ran then impatiently over the letters, typing, erasing, correcting, and entering.
He has been on this for almost an hour now, trying to find out tidbits about Tobias.
He’s not sure this man went to seminary.
He probably just deceived everyone. Cos how would a Priest possess all the uncouth characteristics he has been seeing? He also has porn on his laptop and uses cuss words?
He’s losing his mind cos there’s even nothing about him online.
Not even a single of him picture from Hollow University.
Not a picture from his highschool days.
Not a picture from his family tree.
He went to the seminary board to check the pictures of the just-graduated Priests.
Only his name was mentioned, and while other Priests had their pictures attached to their names Tobias name had no picture. It’s blank.
It’s like he doesn’t exist.
People don’t even know Dean’s twin is still alive unless Saint, Uncle Will or Dean himself mentions him.
Who’s this man?
Jude closed down his laptop frustratingly and swept his hair back with his two hands, sighing.
“Christ, what’s going on?”
His thoughts were cut off by a inappropriate buzz from outside.
“You can’t just enter this place like that! It’s a holy land!”
“It’s either Jude shows his face, or our forceful entry will be the least of your problems cos we’ll burn this place to the ground!”
Jude rushed out of his room, proceeding the general passage.
He met total disarray.
The Brothers who’re washing clothes in the lavatory have been kicked out, and their clothes have been poured into the sand. The Brothers praying in the halls have been dragged out, and they’re getting beaten so bad.
Chairs and tables have been broken. Even the kitchenwares have been slammed around the walls, filling the floor with glass shards.
There’s water everywhere too—lathered water from the lavatory.
And the orchestrators of the chaos are some tattoed thuggish men who look like they live for chaos.
They were screaming mockingly at the helpless Church Brothers as they molested them.
There are too many of them in that passage, but when they saw Jude, they let go of the other Brothers.
Jude gulped, fear signing in his sight. He recognizes them. These are the same people who made him run away from his home two years ago.
He left his home, came here, and became a devoted Brother.
They’re loan sharks, and he’s owing them money huge enough to get him arrested and thrown in jail.
“Jude Achilles,” the Loaner Boss pointed a finger full of rings at him, laughing. “You’re a smart thing, I give you points for that. Your late parents borrowed cash their faces became our loaning office signboard visual, but when you couldn’t pay us back, you decided to come hide in Church cos it’s a safe place anyways. Isn’t that iconic, guys?” He faced the other men who replied him with laughter.
When he faced Jude again, the smile and laughter cleared off, replaced by the look of a predator they always had on their faces two years ago. The same look which scared Jude away.
Jude felt himself sweating, gulping again. His spine snapped.
“You hid for two years, and hats off to you for that, but now that you’ve been found out, this safe place will become your burial ground!” The Loaner Boss yelled, grabbing a metal pipe. He twisted, leaping over the washing machine.
Jude saw it coming, but it still took his breath away when the Boss stuck his head savagely with the metal pipe. The sound was straight.
Jude staggered—two steps back.
His eyes rolled as his groan escaped his mouth with a painful push.
Blood ran down his forehead from his head. He staggered, again. The blood entered his eyes.
“Uhhh,…hhg!”
The passage door was thrown open fast, showing the Sisters and Nuns.
“Jude?” Grace and Ruth chorused with popping eyes.
Estelle closed her palm tightly over her mouth, gasping.
