Assignment: Undercover- Infiltrate child kidnapping ring
Paige looked at herself in the mirror and smiled at her reflection. It was her wedding day. It was not her first wedding day and probably not her last one. Francis had not wanted to wait so he insisted that they marry the following day. She wiped a tear from her eye and one of Francis' other wives came over and handed her a tissue. Paige smiled in mock excitement. When the other woman hugged her she hugged her back.
Paige had come to like the priest's wives. They each had a skill that he was exploiting them for. Mary was the perfect Priest's wife. She was the picture of perfect manners and she knew everything about the religion and she was his first wife. She was 41. His second wife Ellen was a master in the kitchen but she could be a little curt and terse with her words and she really didn't like to have sex very often. Ellen was 38. His third wife was very young, maybe 17 at most. Her name was Angela but everyone called her Angie. Paige was watching out for her. Angie was 5 months pregnant. The other two wives seemed to be slightly jealous of Angie's pregnancy.
It was Angie that Paige was walking with to the chapel when one of the senior parishioners car jumped the curb and it was headed towards Paige and Angie, instinctively Paige's shields went up and the car bounced off of the invisible force field. She immediately looked up and saw a huge smile cross the priest's face. She pretended to not notice and turned her attention to Angie. Paige nodded and ushered the girl inside while her fiance checked on the driver of the car.
The priest's underlings handled the ambulance and the commotion outside.
"Lara, why didn't you tell me you had powers?" Francis said turning her around to face him. The look in his eyes was excitement tinged with anger. She smiled.
"Because it never came up. It's just a defensive power. It's only good for stopping curb jumping cars and walking down dark alleys." She fixed his collar and pouted slightly.
"I hope you aren't mad at me.""On the contrary, I think you will be able to help me with some things." He pushed her up against the wall and slipped his hand under her dress. When she realized where his hand was she forced a smile and kissed him with a forced passion. Francis pulled her roughly into the chapel and he walked her down the aisle to perform the commitment ceremony. It was watched and approved as a wedding by the 2nd in his church. Lara had not planned on letting him see her powers but now she realized it was probably better that he did because now she was going to be let into the operation.
The priest picked up his bride and walked out the back door with her in his arms possessively. Later that night Paige got up and went into the kitchen. They were in the apartment in the back building where he kept her separate from the other ladies. She lit up a cigarette and breathed it in deeply. He slid his arms around her and she felt him behind her and he put his hand around her neck and she reached up and pulled on his arm.
"Francis? What is it you want me to help you with? I was wondering about that. Is there something in the church that Mary needs help with?""No, but I will show you tomorrow. Come back to bed." He took a drag off of her cigarette and put it out. With his hand around her waist he guided her back to bed.
