30 Chapter 30 - Decision (1/2)
The Vatican is the central hub for Catholicism. The young people who learn from here go on to be Bishops or higher.
Right now a rising star who is currently a Deacon that works for the head of the secret division of the Vatican. Section 13, the Iscariot Organization.
'I can't believe vampires exist and I'm working with the man who deals with them.' Deacon Baxter thinks to himself.
'Although he can be a bit demanding, Bishop Maxwell is a great man and he will help me become the youngest Bishop to ever walk these halls.'
Jamie Baxter is the youngest Deacon and is on track to breaking many records in the Vatican. He has been assisting Bishop Enrico Maxwell for about 6 months and is almost ready to take the test to become a priest.
'Just a few more days and I'll be the youngest priest ever.' Jamie thinks this as he gets to Maxwell's office.
Jamie has been doing his job dutifully despite the week long absence of his boss. He gets to work at 7:00AM sharp and immediately heads to Maxwell's office to sort out the paperwork.
The past 6 days have been well until he opens the doors the seventh. He noticed something immediately wrong as the door was left open a little.
'I know I closed it before I left.'
Jamie doesn't think anything of it until he hears a groan coming out of the room. He walks inside and sees something that will scar himself forever.
A Gigantic blood soaked Cross is hung upside down on the wall behind Maxwell's desk. A man who is covered in blood and gore is groaning while impaled on said cross similar to Christ. this is true except each foot is impaled desperately on it.
'Who could do such a thing?' Jamie asks himself before he notices the man who is impaled.
”Bishop? Is that you Bishop Maxwell?” Jamie runs closer while asking but all he received is more groaning.
”SOMEBODY HELP! BISHOP MAXWELL NEEDS A DOCTOR!!!” Jamie yells hoping someone can hear him.
Before help arrives he notices the amount of wounds that Maxwell has suffered.
All his fingers broken in multiple places, and cuts placed all over his body that amount to the hundreds. He's naked except for the underwear that is almost torn to shreds.
'What has happened?' He thinks this as many people come in and start to get Maxwell off the cross and onto a stretcher.
As he is laid upon the stretcher Maxwell starts moving his lips. Jamie leans closer hoping to hear the words.
”G-God....For-Forgive Me.....please.” He passes out again afterwards.
'He's asking for forgiveness? Why' the young man thinks to himself as the men start to leave with Maxwell.
When they leave Jamie notices a piece of paper on the desk with a bloody smile.
He trembles before opening the letter and reading it.
- Dear Chief Replacement,
You may be wondering why Maxwell has arrived in the condition he is in. I'm not going to say as it's not my place, but if you're wondering why I have staged him in such a way, it's to instill as much fear as I can. Like basting a turkey. Which I'll proceed to fuck. That's right, I'm going to fuck the fear turkey.
Follow me at theCrimsonFuckr.
Sincerely the Crimson Fucker.-
”My God.” Jamie mutters not noticing he just took the Lords name in vain.
After seras took out all of her frustration on Maxwell she goes back to the room her master is in and phases through the door.
She sees Integra is sleeping while Walter and Alucard are playing another game of war.
”How did it go Police Girl? Did they harm you?”
”They did But It was a lot of fun.” She smiles at him before walking closer.
”Fun?” He asks and turns to her.
When he notices the amount of blood on her clothes and the holes on her body his face gets dark in anger.
”What did they do to you?”
”Oh nothing I couldn't handle master. Although I am extremely tired.” She yawns while saying so.
”I'm sorry Walter but I'm going to goto bed, do you mind releasing Heinkel and Yumie from the dingeons?”
”The What?” He asks when she disappears.
When Walter doesn't receive an answer he turns to his war buddy in confusion.
”Don't look at me Walter, when seras went into the old library I lost all connection with her. I believe it was a spell that can hinder communication from the outside.”
”So we have absolutely no idea what occurred? I have to go and find out.” Walter leaves Alucard alone with the sleeping Integra.
He chuckles as he carries her in a princess carry before phasing other bedroom and laying her on top of her bed.
”Get some sleep Integra. I believe you're going to need as much as you can get for what's about to come our way tomorrow.” He smiles at her before going to his room.
When Integra wakes up, she is surprised at how well rested she is. She feels very happy until she looks at the clock on the wall.
'My god! It's already 5 in the afternoon?' She jumps out of bed and yells for Walter.
”Sir?” Walter knocks on the door.
”Walter, why haven't you woken me up!? It's well past time for the Iscariots to leave my home.”
Walter just chuckles and Integra notices this.
”What is it Walter? Did something happen?”
”No, did Alucard do something? Even when I explicitly ordered him not to.” She continues quickly in realization.
”No sir. Alucard hasn't touched any of them.”
”Then tell me what happened!” She yells out angrily.
”I believe you'll find out when seras wakes up tonight.”
”Seras? What did she do?”
”Let's just say that the members of the Iscariots have experienced what an angry vampire would do when you torture them.”
”What!?”
”Please sir, let's wait for seras. Would you like some tea?”
”Yes Walter. Tea sounds lovely right now.” She sighs in defeat before saying so.
The night comes quickly for seras as she wakes up groggily and very sore.
'Why does it hurt so much?' She complains to herself.
”That's because you still have 4 new holes in your body. It will take time for them to heal Police Girl.”
”Master?”
”Yes and get ready quickly, Integra has some questions for you.”
”Fine.” She says while still laying down.
Seras morphs her pajamas into her Hellsing uniform without getting up. She then phases out of the bed and appears in Integra's office.
Integra notices her and shows a happy expression.
”Finally. Will you tell me what happened seras? I got word that Maxwell was found at the Vatican in a very dangerous state.” She says this quickly without noticing seras' injuries.
”Did they like my present?”
”Present? You almost killed him seras!” She yells back and turns to see seras finally seeing the holes on her body.
”Why are you injured? Don't tell me...”
”Yeah, they tortured me before conducting the interrogation. I waited to see what would happen but Maxwell put a gun to my face and shot at me. So I retaliated.”
”Please tell me what you did. I need all the information so I can protect you.”
Seras spends a half hour telling Integra what she did and it was mostly about her torturing Maxwell.
