Black Order/Epilogue

Epilogue

6:45 P.M. WROCLAW, POLAND

Gray and Rachel Verona were set to meet in a coffee shop. However, he was set to do one thing before that. He walks to a church and had an interview with Father Piotr. Intelligence had gone cold, but a chance with a journal revealed truth. Tola Hirszfeld had saved her baby and left it on the steps of the monastery and was buried in an unnamed grave.

The father appears and greets him. Father Piotr had lived an unassuming life within the church. There was nothing especially noteworthy about his accomplishments beyond steadfast devotion to his flock. His health, though, remained exceptionally good. Little to no medical history. A broken bone when he was a teenager, falling off a rock. But other than that, routine physicals showed a perfectly fit individual. He wasn’t massive like Gunther or wickedly agile like the Waalenbergs. Just stolidly healthy. After the interview, Gray notes the father likes puzzles. The father said it was to keep the mind sharp. Afterwards, he goes to Rachel to meet. He tells her that something important has to be discussed, only for her to know as well.

As Father Piotr sees Gray leave, he knows Life forever remained a wondrous mystery.
