THE MAFIA DON AND HIS NUN

– The next morning –

(At Los Angeles Crime Force)

Theresa walked inside the conference room with a bandaged arm.

She broke her arm while she was fighting with Alfred the previous night at the prime minister’s house.

Five men were seated around a large glass table. They wore military clothes with badges fixed on their breast pocket.

Theresa saluted the men and stood in front of them.

“What’s he status report on yesterday’s mission?” One of the men asked.

“The culprits escaped with the gold. We lost a total of six men, twelve men sustained serious injuries while the rest of us sustained minor injuries.” She replied.

“Did you see the face of their leader?” Another man asked.

“No sir” she answered.

“Did you find clues that can lead us to those thieves?”

“We surveyed the whole place but we couldn’t find any clue” she replied.

The eldest of the men stood up and walked to a projector. Displayed on the screen was a map of Los Angeles.

“The safety and security of this city depends on us. The president gave us a limited time to catch those behind the nefarious activities going on in this city..” The man paused and walked closer to Theresa.

“You’re the best agent we’ve got in this organization and I’m counting on you. Do whatever you can to bring those criminals to justice. You will be highly promoted if you successfully accomplish this mission.” The man said.

“Understood sir” she saluted.

“You’re dismissed” The man replied.

Theresa saluted him again and waked out of the room.

She walked to her office and she met Brad, seated on of the the chairs. He was holding one of Alfred’s photo.

“Hey Brad” She greeted as she walked to her seat. Then she sat down.

Scattered on her desk were Alfred’s photos.

“What’s with all these photos of Reverend Alfred? Have you fallen in love with a reverend?” Brad joked. But Theresa didn’t find it funny.

She took a picture from the table. It was the selfie a soldier took with Alfred. She had it printed out.

“Take a look at this photo” Theresa said and handed the photo to Brad.

“Do you see that pendant on Reverend Alfred’s neck?” She asked. Brad took a look at the photo and he nodded in reply.

“That was the same pendant we saw on one of the men who came to steal the gold bars at the prime minister’s house yesterday night.” She said.

“But this might just be a coincidence. I mean, reverend Alfred is a man of God. Maybe he just bought that same type of pendant.” Brad reasoned with her.

“The more I look at this photo, the more I suspect this reverend. Something seems off about him.” Theresa said as he took a closer look at the photo.

“Like I said earlier, all these might just be a coincidence.” Bras replied.

“I have a plan to find out whether it’s just a coincidence or not.” Theresa said

(At Alfred’s Villa)

– 09:16am –

Alfred was dressed in his reverend attire. He wore a white robe which had a cross sign designed on it.

Hanged around his neck was a white rosary. In his right hand was a big brown bible.

A fake brown moustache was fixed on his with fake eyeglasses sitting at the bridge of his straight shaped nose.

He also wore a fake hair on his head in order to hide his original hair.

He was invited for an interview by the biggest broadcasting company in the city.

Ceaser wore a brown suit and he styled his black hair backwards.

Ceaser opened the backseat door of a black Lexus for Alfred. Alfred got inside the car then Caesar also sat in the driver’s seat.

He turned on the ignition and drove towards the big black gate which opened automatically.

Then the car drove out of the compound and sped off.

Thirty minutes later, Caesar drove into the broadcasting company and parked in the parking lot.

He got down from his seatand rushed to open the door for his boss. Alfred got down from the car and stared at the huge building in front of them.

LA Broadcasting company was boldy designed on top of the building.

“Let’s go” Alfred said.

The both of them walked towards the building.

“Welcome reverend Alfred” The security guards greeted respectfully as they got to the entrance.

“May the Lord bless you.” Alfred prayed for them.Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

“This way sir” One of the security guards led both Caesar and Alfred inside the building.

Screams of excitement erupted inside the building as Alfred walked in.

“Oh my God! It’s reverend Alfred!” A lady screamed excitedly.

“We love you Reverend Alfred!!” The workers screamed.

Alfred smiled and waved his hands at them.

“God loves you all!” Alfred replied with a smile as they continued walking.

Caesar watched as the Alfred smiled at the workers.

They got inside an elevator which took them to the broadcasting room.

Caesar was asked to stay outside the room while Alfred walked in. Then the interview began.

(At Los Angeles Crime Force)

Theresa and Brad were seated in Theresa’s office. They watching Alfred’s interview on the TV.

“I see no reason why you should suspect this man.” Brad said as they watched the live interview.

“That’s the main reason why I devised the plan.” Theresa replied and Brad looked at her.

“So you’re gonna become a nun because of a mere suspicion?” He asked. Theresa faced him

“Yeah, as long as it’s gonna clear my suspicion.” She replied and diverted hwe gaze back to the TV screen.

“So, what do you have to say to our viewers at home?” The presenter asked Alfred.

“Firstly, I want you all to know that God loves you so much. So, make sure you all do according to his words. God bless you all.” Alfred concluded with a smile.

The TV screen went off as Theresa switched it off with the remote controller.

“Is this man really innocent of my suspicion?” Theresa muttered.
