Chapter 10: Poisoning a Priest
The moment I read the e-mail, I frowned. Killing a priest was not something you did lightly. The more I read, the more I was inclined to take the job. I used a source to do some hacking, and what I learned was almost sickening. I accepted the contract and waited for the money to be put in the account.
I was always careful when I had to work in the United States, and this time I took extra precautions against the church. My entry was through Canada and then down to Chicago before heading east to Washington. The priest that was my target was a bishop, which meant it was going to be harder.
Slipping in at night was easy, and so was planting the tiny cameras I used. I placed them everywhere; the only place I could not put them was in the priest’s bedroom. I managed that during the day while they were praying. I watched for two weeks and knew in days why someone wanted him dead.
He was molesting young boys. The bishop also made a habit of drinking a cup of wine with his meals. The problem was he always ate with others, and I could not be sure he would use one particular glass. I solved the problem by slipping into his room and placing a poison in the headband of his miter cap.
