Detective Liam Niles: The Last Crusade by BONITA HIGHLEY - HTML preview

At the door of the home of Monsuer Vernold. Liam, Trey, along with Marquess Reban, with oversight of Inspector crouse, stood looking around themselves. Seeing that no one is witnessing them at the door, they proceeded to barracade Liam as he bent down to the eye level of the door knob. Placing in a firm wire into the keyhole to try picking the lock. With a clicking sound, he smiled at them. Standing tall again. ”Right. Is Eveyone ready?”

All the men in agreement. Suddenly, a girls scream was heard from inside. Liam and Crouse veered at each other, then, Liam, quickly turning to the door,taking his robust black booted foot, slamming his foot hard up against the hard wooden door, as the other men coming together with their feet, striking at it harder, then on the fifth wham, the door busting wide open as the door giving way with open clearance, Liam swiftly entered inside leading the way. The other men waiting their cue.

As Liam entered into the room, on first sight, as his clear deducement of planned calculation is now affirmative. With his first view of the room with no valid evidence in sight of Pastor Roger McKenzie’s daughter, Brandy, no where to be seen, confirmed. Inspector Crouse, Trey and Reban waiting.

The priest nonchalantly appearing before him front and center. Seeing the bashed in door. “What are you doing on my property breaking and entering an invasion into my home. “I’ll have you arrested for you treachery!” Standing next to an electronic console, placing his finger on a big red button, he pressed it diligently turning on a red light as it flashed red. “The police will be arriving shortly to take you away.”

Liam, nonchalantly walked around the room. “Good. We still have those few minutes before they arrive. The gig is up Monsuer Vernold. Tell me. In what room did you place her in?” Inspector Crouse instructing Trey and Reban to now obscurely enter inside as Liam taking caution taking steps forward to divert his attention.

The priest, shrugging his shoulders in uncaring defiance.

Liam, continued looking around. “Ransom with funds coming from the dealings with your runaway assistant Maynard. If found out, is a very costly penance.”

The priest showing defiance. “He was a backstabber to me. When he took off with all my money from my added flock, I had to have another back up plan to defend myself with.

Liam, taking another step near a door. “Kidnapping charges is a very hefty crime. Could land you in jail for years.”

The priest, stood unwavering. “Is been more than five minutes gone. Where is the police when you need them?”

Trey and Reban,sneaking their way inside searching for her. But not able to find her.

Reban, coming out from the shadows, going rogue, reaching for his daggar from his side, taking the priest as prisoner in hand from behind him, pointing his daggar directly at the priest’s face. “Where have you taken her?”

The priest, not divulging. “This is not of your concern, Marquess.”

Marquess, in retribution mode. “Now there is where you are wrong, PRIEST. For I am the only man to lay hands upon her while still in her untouched nature. For she has been spoken for, BY ME!” He tighten his grip upon him. Now where is she?”

The priest, struggling to break free from the Marquess. “

Marquess Reban, with tighter grip. “You may think you have deceived her father, a man of the cloth, that he may give penance for your evil wiles. But be wary of his armor of god to destroy you in the name of our god. NOW-WHERE –IS- SHE!!!” He dug his daggar into his side with painful warning.

The big banging of noise coming from the far room down the hallway sounded off with loud calls out. “REBAN!! IM IN HERE! REBAN-HELP ME!!”

Reban, looking at Liam in alert, Liam looking at Reban, Trey looking at the both of them, Liam giving signal to Trey to check the room, as Trey hurried toward the door, the door being locked. Then Trey, taking out a sturdy wire from his trenchcoat, bent down to pick the lock,then opened the door.

Brandy McKenzie coming out of the room and into his arms with a whimper.”Reban. Where is he?”

Trey, taking her to him.” Its ok. Everything is ok.”

Inspector Crouse, incoming with the police, the police taking the priest in handcuffs, taking him away.

Brandy, seeing Reban, goes to him in his opened arms.

Reban, taking hold of her.“Now, we will be going into our new life.”
