[Savior’s Alive Church – Hospital – 6:30PM]
The hospital is located inside the Church. Just that, it’snot noticeable till you walk inches from the Rectory.
Jude lay in his bed with open eyes.
He looks much better than last night. Though, his bandaged head still banged occasionally with headache.
The Brothers stayed with him, and the Sisters and Nuns came to pray, too, but he hadn’t seen Tobias.
He gave the greedy loan sharks 4M—times four of his loan.
He needs to have a talk with him, so he tilted to get up, and that was when Tobias decided to enter.
“Father!” Jude breathed sharp, tilting completely and crashing to his knees.
On those knees, he crawled to Tobias and held his legs firmly.
“I’m so sorry I made the loan sharks enter the Church. After I lost my parents at a young age, i had to work everyday of my life to pay off the debts they left me. Anyday I failed to drop money, the loaners thrashed me till I couldn’t take it anymore, that’s why I hid in the Church..”
“But I’m real. Everything I’ve been doing for the Church is from my heart, but you paid my debt, and I’m willing to do anything to pay you back…just tell me what I have to do..”
Tobias looked down at him slowly, regarding him with quiet curiousity.
“There was a truck in front of the gate before I left yesterday,” he said.
“Yes!” Jude looked up. “But I didn’t want the other workers to see it, so I drove it to the Church old garage and covered it with a trampoline!”
Tobias squatted, knees protruding below his slacks as his eyes levelled with Jude’s eyes.
“Good. Now, you’ll do anything to pay back for the debt I payed?”
“Anything!” Jude nodded.
Tobias hands went into his coat pockets, and when the right hand came out, it came out with a gun.
A short gun.
Jude’s butt kissed the floor. He shifted back, but that wasn’t all.
Tobias took out a single yellow pill from his second pocket.
“The Loaner Boss hit the metal pipe on your head, isn’t it?” He looked up at Jude who’s still fidgeting.
“That pussycat blew me a kiss, and I got irritated. I don’t like getting irritated, and I hate kisses unless it’s to my girlfriend Mayhem. Also, they took more than they deserved, and they have to pay. Here, there’s no free food. You pay, you live.” Tobias said slowly. Storm gathered behind his eyes after each word he said.
Jude swallowed.
Tobias dropped the gun and the pill on the floor.
“The Loaner Boss will be at Berry Bar at 10PM tonight.” He said. You can choose to kill him simply with the gun,” he pointed at the gun.
“Or you can choose to slip this pill into his drink unnoticed. He’ll sleep off, then you can bring him to me. I’ll kill him for you, but know that if you bring him to me, I’ll make you watch every step of his killing, and you’ll end up getting nightmares for months, or maybe you’ll be traumatized—I like that better.”
He stood and left the ward like he didn’t just traumatize Jude with his words and choice list.
Jude backed the wall, hugging himself while staring at the gun and pills, gulping repeatedly.
