1 Boston at the turn of the Century

The Sun glared over the city of boston. a deep orange in the sad grey sky against a shield of skyscrapers. rain started falling over the city.

with haste a young girl and a boy both sixteen crossed the black top into the musuem. a roar of thunder came as they got inside and looked around.

"do you think we missed much," asked Kevin, he looked over at Mira's brown hair and blue eyes she was shorter than he was she shook her head and took her coat off revealing a pink shirt. "if anything we only missed the beginning notes", she smiled, 'like anyone cares.'

Kevin followed Mira into the main halls library. books encompassed the whole room. shelves were on both sides of several tables that were lined across the room. some book shelves came out a little bit. but their class was in the back. Drumman a man in his mid forties who was their teacher was rambling on from what they could see something about General Lee and The Civil war.

"Ah its good to see you two," said Professor Drumman. He was tall and a bigger man with black hair and glasses. They're was their class sitting at tables around his lesson. they all turned their heads. Kevin felt the stares, piercing into them.

"yeah we figured we would come to visit for a bit hows the lecture everyone"? asked Mira. Charlie in back with red hair and a taller gangly boy started laughing. Donovan a blond boy was next to him which concerned Kevin alot.

"Sit down. There will be a letter home to your parents. The President doesn't approve of tardiness". said Drumman, "don't be late to my lecture again or you might find detention a mercy".

Kevin nodded. Mira rolled her eyes.

"Today i want everyone to put this aside and do your own research". he started passing out papers. A Blond haired girl with green eyes grabbed the stack and started handing it around. the smell of coffee started wafting around the room from a back room behind drumman in between the book shelves.

"For our leadership day as you saw my paper on. someone who was an effective leader and brought something good to our country just like Lee here tried to do. begin you have two hours to gain research".

everyone stood up and Donovan came over. his blond hair was shorter and piercing blue eyes. "what an idiot", he spoke this of the teacher. Lee was a kind man who fought for his state first. If it wasn't brother against brother he would of been a Union soldier most likely",

Mira smiled and spoke. "so whats the deal with that D? what did Charlie want"?

"nothing i just picked a spot, charlie started talking about something about motorcycles and his father".

they headed up the stairs in the back of the library. red carpeted and fancy brown wood. imitation books lined the walls of bookshelves That carried them.

so i was thinking of going straight to the top of the list with my work", Donovan said.

"what would that be," asked Mira as they walked over to the window where a red cushion was between the bookcases where she could sit and look out the window. a short table between the book shelf and her. as well on both sides of her.

"Rydalf himself the first emperor of america in 2023". said Donovan. Mostly through his presidency", he smiled looking at Mira.

"Didn't Rydalf kill some of your family members as well as many people of us all, over some of the dumbest stuff. for example his ban of religion in general was unneccessary when we have war to worry about, potentially with Russians"? Said Mira.

"well you know maybe I'll do it instead on Thomas J barker," he pulled a book out and showed her. he opened the page up.

he was renowned for his police service in several states. boston was his final stop.

"You know he started as a career criminal until his brothers death sent him over the edge and he pulled a total death wish move killed the guys who did it and became an officer". said Mira. She smiled, "I think you should do it beau. He also got a great start with Leonardo Hamlin who was an amazing lawyer".

"really", asked Donovan. "well damn heres his criminal profile too".

"yeah told you."she smiled brightly. whats wrong kevin? kevin was staring over at a room where an older greying man looked suspicious. he crept from the room quicker. thier was an officer statue next to the room door.

"over there that man. acting bloody strange". said kevin. he came from a british family.

"your right," she said. she grabbed kevins hand. "lets go", she moved toward the door creeping slowly.

"wait Mira ugh. I dont think this." started Kevin. Donavan followed holding his book.

"The great boston officers 2000s to 2030 by clement adams. Said Donovan. He looked over and sighed following.

quit pulling said Kevin. he let go of her hand.

well your like a deer caught in headlights most the time". said Mira. she kept moving forward looked inside the door.a dim light pierced in from a old red and purple stained glass window other than that it was dimly lit by a purple light and it gleamed onto a glass case in the middle of the room.

"look at this said Mira. Kevin looked immediately wishing the contrary.

"its illegal ". said Kevin. she smiled brighter raising her eyebrows and opened the leather bound book on top.

"To whom I am writing this book, it has been a hard travel although i know that this book will probably be antiquatie by the time you read this. I have journeyed with the sacred word for twelve years. God bless that i have made it this far. a certain senator Rydalf has gained power. we all are on the mans hilt, and i dont know how much longer til i get captured. I refer you about the secret order sacred to protecting God for millenia.

my goal always to continue the spread of christianity has threatened my existence now. however this bible I have sworn to protect.

I write my journey to the moment i pass on and with my demise will lead to this book passed on  and someone else journeying to find a way to relegalize christianity and get ready for the end times.

Yours sincerely and welcoming you to this book in the name of the lord, Nicolas",

"whoa Nicolas really did one last noble thing", said Mira. she looked at kevin.

"but why is it here"?asked kevin. "it sounds like it would be destroyed if found. after all i was always told against such things".said Kevin.

I think maybe to pass on the torch said Donovan. lets ask Mr.

"No are you crazy".,said Mira. kevin nodded looking at him stern. "if its found it will be destroyed Don".  she continued. christianity is still illegal.

"wouldn't that be the right thing"?asked Donovan. I mean its illegal for a reason right?

"you dont believe that and your sounding way to much like our teacher now, besides we could be tried as conspirators". said Mira. "I think it was brought here to be destroyed which would be a loss to the whole world". She shook her head. "No this is sacred we keep it close". She grabbed it off the ledge and turned around.

"Its here to be protected",said a voice. a man entered the room. he wore a Shabby Brown Suit with a white shirt that were tattered and ripped a lot. he looked shabby. he had brownish greying hair and a mustache."I am Louis Blue a guardian of the Bible of Christ".

they flipped around.

"I promised to look after it until it got here. but one man, has come today to destroy it and now i might have a long road ahead. "There is Someone here who hopes to harm it".

"our teacher perhaps?" said Kevin, Mira shook her head.Louis looked behind them at the books.

hmm? He spoke. Interesting". A History teacher by chance"?

"Yes", said Mira. She spoke nervously. "So your here to protect this relic"?

"It was taken from my Companion by a guard and brought here. I have fought tooth and nail to get here now I must get it out. Oh blasphemy".

wondering now why you three are here? he snapped his fingers, "of course. He spoke of this in his last words." he turned away from them. Then looked back suddenly smiling. he raised a finger up and said, "He knew someone would always be there for the Will of Christ".

"who said",asked Mira. she looked at the books looking around closer. "Everyone good I think is long dead".

he looked out the window and spoke calmly and confidently. "The Man with the Tiger." said Louis. "we have been fighting for years to protect religion from dying since christianity was outlawed and the ban went out. A sort of protective brotherhood, as long as people still believe as I can see you do there will always be some good left in the world",
