A noise frightened him and he chickened out running back out the back door.


The picture rewound and he was back at the patio door slipping inside. He ignored the sound hurrying to the back of the house.


The woman screamed as the front door opened and her husband came running in, he grabbed a knife from the counter and ran to the back of the house.


Police and Paramedics filled the house as the man sat on the stairs sobbing looking at the blood all over his hands. Ari watched as two stretchers were carried from the house. The chubby young mans hand fell out of the white sheets.


Ari smiled brightly watching it all play out as the priest faded away to nothing leaving a ring floating in the air. Ari let the ring fall ignoring it.


She turned back to the nun who still stood stunned from the mini push she'd received.


"So now it's your turn."

Lucas laughed, "I heard you rip that door off the hinges from out here."


She smiled, 'We still have two stops."


He put his arm around her, "Fine but then we go home." He kissed he side of her head and they walked down the road enjoying the quiet of the neighborhood.
