2024-10-29 19:42:56" what is this ?" Griffin asked George when they got back into the car
" I'm not getting you "
" How could the witness be dead? What the fuck is this , some kind of drama or something? Is someone filming us right now ?"
" Calm down , griffin"
" Calm down ? A five years old girl is dead and the only witness we have is dead too and what the hell was that scripture doing on the sword ?"
Everything was annoying griffin but what was really adding fuel to the fire was the scripture. Griffin was an atheist and ever since he was small his father had always told him to never believe in God or the men that preach his words. He never asked why and always listened to his father even now that his father was dead . Or not dead. Maybe missing. He refused to believe his father was dead because his body is yet to be found.
", We are going back to her house"girffin said
" Whose ?"
" The dead girl's mother. We have to tell her about her daughter. Everything happening is already giving me the creeps. We head to that church first thing tomorrow morning "
******
The next morning, griffin and George went to saint Nicholas church and saw a man in his mid-thirties questioning the police out of concern
Griffin approached him " who are you ?".
" Ah, I'm the pastor. This is my church. I'm pastor Nicholas"
Griffin nodded his head . That made sense"ah"
" Sorry but what is happening here?" Pastor Nicholas asked?
" A five years old girl was murdered in your church"
The priest looked stunned and did the sign of the cross . Griffin was about to look away from the priest in annoyance but something on the priest's hand caught his attention. A scar .
Griffin grabbed his hand"this. How did you get this "
" Ah, that?" The priest smiled as he recalled the memory "I got that from doing the lord's work"
Griffin looked at the priest as if he were a different person. Those exact same words he's heard it before and this scar....they were things hid dad said and had .
Could it be that.....?
The priest removed his hand from griffin's " anyway, when will the church be good to open again?"
Griffin just kept on looking at the man. If he was his father as he suspects how couldn't get recognize him or remember him and how was his name different and more importantly ....how was he a priest , his father who hated God and priests and moved him into that belief. How was it all so different now?
"Griffin, come over here" George called him .
" Sorry ,but I have to go " griffin said to the priest
"Sure".
When griffin got home he stared at the small picture of his father and him on his desk and recalled the event that happened that day.
The day his father died...
They had both gone to see his father's friend but griffin had waited in the car . After some few minutes , his father came back into the car
"Dad , what's that ?" Griffin asked referring to the scar on his father's hand " you didn't have that before"
" Oh ,this" his father scoffed " I got it from doing the lord's work "and started the car
"Griffin".
"Yes, dad"
"Pastors, priest, prophet , God, don't believe in them . They are all hypocrites . You hear me ?"
"Okay " griffin replied smiling,
" That's a good boy , here" his father handed him some money " why don't you run over to that shop and buy yourself some ice cream for being such a good boy "
" Thank you ,dad" griffin took the money and ran off smiling. As he came out of the shop, he saw his father's car go up in flames
"Dadddddd!!!!" Griffin shouted dropped his ice cream on the flow and made an attempt to run towards the car but some ladies around him held him back .
The next day , he was told that they didn't find hid father's body . So no matter how rare it was, he had hope that his father was alive .
And now....now if this priest was actually his father he was going to seize this opportunity and make the most out of it. If that meant to start from helping him open his church back ,then he was going to start from there .

A/N: thank you for reading priest so far
