Chapter 1 Sapphire Walker

ST LUKE'S CATHOLIC CHURCH, MOSCOW (RUSSIA)

"Peace be with you"Rev Gabriel said to the large congregation after reading the apostles Creed.

"And also with you!" The congregation chorused as they all made the sign of the cross.

Rev Gabriel smiled and was about to proceed to the prayers when a loud gunshot interrupted him.

It sounded outside the church and the church scattered immediately.

Everyone started running out through the side doors, no one is obviously ready to die yet.

Rev Gabriel stood his ground on the altar, knowing that running won't prevent him from dying today.

The crowd kept rushing out, including the sisters and matrons, the choristers weren't left out too and the other priests.

They all kept escaping till it was only him in the church, then his nightmares came in.

Two guys who are known by everything breathing on Earth.

Even the non-living would feel their presence.

The Gambino brothers, Romanio and Rosario.

They looked like death's messengers.

Romanio was chewing bubble gum as usual, with that cocky smile on his merciless face. He's hanging his gun on his shoulder, rolling his eyes as he smiles.

Rosario has the usually calm look, but his eyes never left Gabriel.

Behind them, are two ladies who look like death's women.

Hellcat and Nightingale.

As they walked closer to Gabriel, he tried to extend his lifeline by trying to outsmart them.

He got his gun from under his robe and made to shoot but Rosario was faster.

He shot his leg.

"Ahhhhhhh!!!" Gabriel screamed as blood rushed out of the shot leg.

He held the leg, squatting in immense pains.

"F*ck! My leg!" He shouted, more of his blood wetting the ground.

"Reverend Gabriel" Romanio said in an obvious mockery when they finally got to him.

"Bastards!"Gabriel groaned.

Romanio shot his second leg.

"AHHHHH!!!!!!" Gabriel shouted as pangs of agony gripped him tightly again.

He fell on his butt immediately, the holes in his legs showing off the redness of his blood.

It stained his white robe already so it's currently red.

"Blood" Rosario called his real name and Gabriel looked up at them.

Hellcat and Nightingale held their guns to his head gallantly.

"Isn't it amusing that the fucking boss of the Imperium empire in Italy successfully posed as a Reverend father in Russia? How funny"Romanio laughed but it was short.

"The shipments you stole from us, where the f*ck is it!" Rosario seethed.

Despite his hurting legs, Blood managed to let out a shrill laughter.

"Were you seriously expecting me to still have it with me?" He said after stopping his laughter.

He looked at them defiantly.

"I sold it, and the money...the trillions of dollars!, Is with father!" BHe laughed.

"Enzo?" Nightingale said.

"Where's your fucking father!, Where the fuck is Enzo!"Romanio barked.

"You think I'll tell you guys? Come on I'm not daft, you're gonna kill me anyways....go on!" Blood laughed.

Hellcat hit the base of her gun on his head and blood ran down his sweaty face.

"Where's Enzo!" She thundered.

"F*ck your clit" Blood smirked and Rosario blessed his right eye with a bullet immediately.

"AHHHHH!!!, F*ck shit!"He shouted agonizingly as that eye went blind.

"Speak, or it's your deathday today, Blood"Romanio said and Blood smiled with a bloody face.

"Don't worry, father will take care of Beryl"he said mockingly.

Rosario shot him thrice immediately.

On the forehead, chest, and the stomach.

Blood crumbled on the ground, his stream of blood flowing around his body. "Why the f*ck did you shoot him!"Romanio shouted.

"Not like he had something to offer," Rosario replied.

"But still!!, We should have taken him back to Italy with us and torture his ass till he spits out his location!"Romanio spat.

"Blood is a bastard we both know! He'd never speak!" Rosario replied, trying to keep his calm.

"The cops are on their way" A voice said through their earbuds.

"We need to get out of here," Hellcat said.

They both stopped glaring at each other before trying to get out of the church, but....

Footsteps made them look back to see a girl, dressed like a rev sister, holding her bible closely to her chest.

Fear was inscribed on her face, she's shaking on her spot.

She was actually trying to hide well.

"Go to hell," Romanio said immediately, aiming for her.

"Please spare me!!!!" She cried out.

"Don't shoot" Rosario said and Romanio looked at him.

"What the f*ck"

"The cops are almost there," the voice said in their earbuds again.

Romanio tried shooting the girl again but Rosario held the gun nozzle.

"Rosario, stop this shit" Romanio glared dangerously

"We're taking her along," Rosario replied.

"Have you gone fucking bunkers? Stop being stupid!" Romanio yelled.

"I also don't think it makes sense to take her along, for what exactly?" Hellcat said.

"Rev sister in a mafia empire? Interesting" Nightingale smiled, looking at the frail looking girl.

"We're not taking her, "Romanio said.

"I am taking her," Rosario thundered and Romanio almost punched him.

"Please don't kill me, let me go in peace and the Lord will be with you"the girl said shakily and Hellcat almost laughed.

"The cops are fucking close!" The voice from the buds came again.

"To the car" Romanio rolled eyes at Rosario

"Get her, Cat" Rosario said and Hellcat went to the girl.

She flung away the cap that's covering her head, her long hair falling behind her.

"Please don't take me!, Don't!!" She cried as Hellcat dragged her out of the church.

She pushed her to the backseat of the car and entered with her.
