THE MAFIA DON AND HIS NUN

-The next morning-

(At Theresa’s apartment)

Theresa was seated on the couch in the living room, watching a news channel. She stared intently at the TV screen as the male news reporter made his report.

“Yesterday night at 11:49pm, some gangs of criminals broke into the most secured prison in LA, killing a total of sixty five officers. One inmate was shot dead and one inmate named Matilda Hayes, is still missing. Investigation is…

Theresa switched off the television before the news reporter could finish his statement.

She dropped the remote on the table in front of her, and she rested her back on the couch, with a loud sigh escaping her lips.

“How did those criminals break into Iron Heights with it’s high level of security?” Theresa thought to herself.

Her phone beeped beside her, interrupting her thought. She picked it up and she saw a message from Brad.

Brad: Morning Theresa. Trust your night was good.C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.

Theresa: Yeah, it was good. And yours?

Brad: Great.

Brad: Did you watch the news this morning?

Theresa: Yeah, I did. I’m still perplexed about how those criminals broke into the most secured prison in LA.

Brad: All the officers in the prison were found dead. Some had deep scars on their body.

Theresa: That’s inhuman. Where are you right now?

Brad: Iron heights prison with the general. We’re looking for some evidences or clues that might help us locate the perpetrators.

Theresa: So, what have you found so far?

Brad: Nothing much. The prisoners said the perpetrators wore black masks which had an eagle logo on it.

Theresa: What about the CCTV footages?

Brad: Unfortunately, the CCTV cameras were offline throughout the time of the incident.

Brad: The perpetrators are high levelled criminals.

Theresa: (sighs) Yeah, they really are.

Brad: That aside, how’s your mission going?

Theresa: Still going as planned.

Brad: That’s good.

Brad: Gotta go. The general requests my presence.

Theresa: Alright, goodbye.

Theresa replied Brad’s message, then she dropped her phone on the table.

She heard the gate’s doorbell ringing, then she stood up and walked outside to the gate.

“Who is that?” She asked as she approached the big black gate.

“I’ve got a package for Miss Theresa.” A masculine voice replied from outside the house.

“Who sent the package?” Theresa inquired.

“Reverend Alfred.” The man answered.

On hearing Alfred’s name, she opened the side gate and she saw a man holding a white branded bag which had a eagle logo on it.

Theresa stared at the logo in the bag, then she raised her head up to look at the man.

The man was putting on a black suit which also had a golden eagle logo on it’s breast pocket. His black designer shoes were shining under the sun.

The shoe also had the same logo on it and this piqued Theresa’s suspicion.

The man was young and he seemed like a rich person. After inspecting him from head to toe, Theresa asked.

“Who are you?”

“I work for reverend Alfred and he sent me to give you this.” The man said, stretching the bag towards Theresa, “And he also instructed me to drive you to church.” He added, pointing at the white Range Rover which was parked outside the house.

Theresa suddenly remembered that she was going to take care of Alfred’s church that morning.

“Can I ask one more question?” Theresa requested with a smile.

“Sure, you can.” The man replied.

“What’s does the eagle logo on that bag and your breast pocket signify?” Theresa questioned.

“It’s the brand logo for every organizations and companies working under reverend Alfred.” The man answered.

Theresa was piqued by the man’s reply. She had also seen the same logo on the pendant worn by some criminals who came to rob the prime minister’s h

“The gang who came to rob the prime minister’s house some weeks ago also wore a golden pendant which had this same logo on it.” Theresa said, inwardly.

“Does this mean that the criminals work for reverend Alfred.” Theresa thought inwardly.

She shook the thoughts off her mind, then she faced the man with a pretentious smile across her lips.

“Um… Do you perhaps know what’s in that bag?” She asked as she glanced at the white bag the man was holding.

“Yeah, it contains a nun uniform and a pair of black shoes and black socks and a bible.” The man answered detailedly.

“Okay, let me have it.” Theresa requested, then the man handed the bag to her.

“You can drive in and park while I go in quickly and prepare myself.” Theresa said.

“Alright ma’am.” The man replied with a polite nod of his head.

Theresa walked back into the house, heading straight to her room. She dropped the bag on the bed immediately she got inside her room.

She stared at the eagle logo on the bag for a while, then she took a picture of the logo and she sent it to Brad. She also typed a message to immediately.

Theresa: Sup Brad! I just sent a picture to you. Ask the prisoners whether it was the same logo on the masks of the perpetrators who broke into the iron heights prison.

She sent the message after she was done typing it. Theresa waited for a few minutes, then she got a reply from Brad.

Brad: Yeah, the prisoners said it was exactly the same logo.

Brad: Where did you get the picture of that logo?

Theresa: it was branded on a package sent by reverend Alfred this morning.

Brad: Seriously? ?

Theresa: Yeah. I have to do some investigations on this logo and I will start from reverend Alfred’s church.

Brad: Goodluck on that.

She dropped her phone on the bed after she read Brad’s reply.

Theresa hastily took her bath and she applied lotion on her body, then she opened the white bag which contained her uniform.

She took out a black robe which had long sleeves and she wore it. She also wore a pair of black socks and brown sandals. She also wore a veil on her head. Rita then checked herself out in the mirror after she was done dressing, and she really looked like a nun.

Theresa took her phone and the bible which was also in the bag, then she walked out of her room. She had already eaten breakfast earlier that morning so she was good to go.

Theresa descended down the stairs and she walked out of the living room, then she locked the door.

The man who was appointed to drive Theresa to her destination got down from the car and he opened the passenger’s seat for her.

“Thanks.” Theresa said as she got inside the car.

The man sat in the driver’s seat, then he turned on the ignition and drove towards the gate. The gate slid open automatically, then the man drove out of the compound and sped off to Saint Romans Catholic church.

Theresa wasn’t going to Alfred’s church to take care of it. But she was going there to start her investigation.
