Back in Rome Clara and her driver meet with the Blood Pope, in the dank catacombs where he explains the plans he has to summon the Dark Lord without the boxes.

  “I will do the ritual myself, I will need a couple of sacrifices before I sacrifice the false Pope.” He said matter of factly.

  “I’m not volunteering for that job!” The driver said in a contemptuous tone. “I am beginning to get tired of all this bullshit, let me go back and they will all be dead by the end of the week!” The driver said with a growing arrogance.

  “Silence you fool, you will do as I instruct, or you will be joining them. Now go out and find me two participants for the sacrifice while I get everything set up, and if you fail I will use you two in the ritual.” He said staring them directly in the eyes.

  The Driver squeezes the handle of the .40 caliber he carries in the small of his back, ready to draw. Clara grabbing his arm said, “Yes your Lord we will not fail you.” Looking at the driver she turned and pulled him along with her. “What were you doing? You actually thought you could just shoot him and be done with it?” She said in a frantic tone.

  “Well yes that is exactly what I was thinking of doing why did you stop me we could have been free of all his bullshit.”

  “You are a complete dumbass!” She said.

  “Why is that? Do bullets not kill insane clergy members? Or perhaps they would fall short because he threw a tantrum!” He said.

  “No, you are a dumbass because he is mostly demonic energy now, he can only be killed by magic, by people like me. Your guns will have no effect on him, and he would just rip out your organs and smile while you bleed out all over the floor.” She said.

  “We need to find a couple of people here in Rome, I want them to be close friends with Father Murray if possible.” She said with a grin.

  “How are we to know who he is close to here.” He said.

  “We will go find the closest church and start asking about him, and where we might find his people or contacts over here. When we find them we will get them to meet us somewhere and you can knock the shit out of them, and we will bring them back here to the Blood Pope.” She was satisfied with her new plans.
