After a long day of failed leads Toby stopped at St. Patrick’s Church to speak with his long time confidante and mentor Father O’Henry. Toby was on a search to find his heritage but time and time again was stopped by roadblocks. Coming from a long line of Irish immigrants Toby always felt at home with the parishioners of St. Pat’s. Many like himself were fresh faces in America and looking for a semblance of a community like the old country. They all knew the stories of the great fire that destroyed the city, but it was by God’s righteous power that St. Pat’s was unharmed and stood as a symbol to the Irish that they were meant to be here. “Evenin’ Toby. The Father is in the confessional. Take a seat and he’ll be with ya in a few.” Nodding once again Toby enters the pew and bows his head in prayer. After a few moments of silent contemplation Toby heard the door of the confessional open and a thick Irish accent quietly echo in the room. As Father O’Henry stepped out of the confessional he smiled and motioned for Toby to follow him into the back. Father O’Henry furrows his brow and places a hand on his chin in thought. “I have heard of a building in the industrial park on the north side that was once inhabited by career criminals, but it’s been long since abandoned after the leader was killed in a gun battle. Why would you want to find such a pla-.” Father O’Henry’s speech trails off as he notices young Toby’s head droop. With a slight quiver in his voice Toby repeated the harrowing words of the priest. “Criminal.. Killed? I’m sorry Father I need to find something out.” Without a word Toby walked past Father O’Henry and made his way out of the church. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________ “I will find out what happened.” |
