Night of the Templar Page #3

---

And the blood?

Is it yours?

It is now.

Messy business, huh,

this apple picking.

It is. How are

you, my brother?

I'm ready to go to battle

again on your command, my lord.

I'm not your lord,

I am your brother.

Yes, my lord.

We won,

Gregoire, we won!

Yes, again we

were victorious.

When will I be ready to fight, my lord?

We've spoken

of this, Koko.

Every day!

Then when?

It is not your time,

little one.

It is not

your place.

You always say...

Koko, is there not

somewhere of more importance

where you should be?

Yes, my lord.

Then get there.

Aha, yes, my lord.

Yes, my lord.

But when you need

me, I am ready.

Get that from him.

He is waiting

for the day

you allow him to

shield and fight.

And he'd be

lost in an instant.

His strength lies not

in sword, dear Melkon...

but in here...

his heart.

Sergeant?

Vicinity scouted,

my lord. All sound.

Excellent.

Where's Devereux?

Dwyer?

How many did we lose?

Nearly a third, my lord.

Prisoners?

Prisoners?!

None, they would not surrender, my lord.

Ah. Such valor.

If only their

beliefs were proper.

Ah then,

scour the acre.

We leave no man behind.

We've already been

around twice, my lord.

Then you need only scour once more.

Yes, my lord.

Hello? Anybody home?

Hello, children.

I heard we had some visitors in town,

and I wanted to take

the opportunity...

Who is it?

Oh, hello Father.

Is there something we

can help you with, Father?

Because if this is

about money donations,

we happen to be short

on money at the moment.

This is not

about money.

It's just that I wanted

to welcome you to town

and take the opportunity to

invite you to the house of God.

That's peculiar,

Father, because

well, I'm from here,

and so is she, and, um...

we've never

seen you before.

You attend Mass?

- No.

- No.

Well, that's why

you haven't seen me.

But now we

know each other,

I'll be sure that I see

you again very, very soon.

And I'm looking

forward to it.

Well, who do

we have here?

I'm really glad

I stopped by.

It's certainly...

a refreshing surprise...

to have you all here.

And it's more than

I had bargained for.

I'll see you in church.

All of you.

Sunday in church.

It's weird, I feel

like I know him.

So do I.

But it's most strange,

he's not the only one

I feel like this about.

Any good?

Oh hey. I didn't

see you come in.

So, any good?

Oh, that? No, just

a hobby I picked up.

Mostly for cardio.

You know, trying to keep

the old midsection flat.

I've tried so many things.

Tennis, swimming.

But, uh... that one stuck. Go figure.

Go figure.

Thank you.

So, what can

I do for you?

Oh, right. I'm at

the Rhein estate

I'm here to pick up an order

for a, uh, chef called Shauna

Irish.

Crossdresser.

That's her... him.

Him.

Coming right up.

Thank you.

Yeah, he comes

in here, uh...

once in a while

with that Benoit guy.

Crafty couple those two.

Couple? They

know each other?

You could say that, yeah.

They're not like, married.

No, just living in sin.

Times have changed.

How much I owe you?

You're all set.

The people that own that estate,

they have an account here.

Alrighty then...

have yourself

a nice day.

You too.

Say...

do I know you

from someplace?

You ever been

on a reality TV show?

No. Wrong guy.

Ah.

Hey, um...

You need help.

As far as...

The bags, I'll help

getting them into your car.

Naw, I'm on foot.

Alone?

Yes, alone.

Ha. Well, you've got

yourself a load there

that might just be too

heavy for you to carry.

Tell you what,

if you need a ride

I can just close up the

store for ten minutes,

that's all it'll take. It's okay.

It's my responsibility.

They're mine.

All of them.

A simple, more

peaceful life.

Well, goodbye

old friend.

So how does

that sound?

Sounds good,

but the music?

No blues, no jazz.

Are you going out?

Yeah, for a bit.

Down to the pub. Mickey

is hosting a poker party

for some

out of town patsy.

It's a lock,

should triple this.

So Mickey will have

his hands on the deal then.

Make sure that you

triple this as well.

Mi amor.

Save me a plate, will ya?

Yeah, what are

you doing here?

Well, it's

about time.

It was a long walk.

So, uh... where's Benoit?

Who?

Benoit, the butler?

Ah, yes, yes, yes.

I saw him

for only a moment.

He's working hard

on something, I think.

I'm sure.

Well, um...

you're doing a great job.

And...

American, a little bonus.

Ah.

Enjoy it while you can.

I cannot

believe those men.

Taking a lifetime

vow of poverty.

And chastity?

Come on.

I know were not supposed

to speak about why we're here

but I believe you know

my reasons, what I am.

It's pretty obvious;

you're a prostitute.

And money talks.

Is this a problem?

Nope, not for me.

I'm here for

a sex weekend.

Good. Then it works

for me and for you.

How about

a little sample?

Yes.

Oh, you dirty

little whore.

Oh, you dirty

little whore.

All better now.

I knew

it was you.

I need to get the plumber

to work on that thing.

Shauna...

Whoa.

Jesus Christ.

I don't believe this.

Now I have to cook...

and clean.

We should have take-out.

You're all back, great.

I read a little ahead and the

story picks up the next day

after Gregoire gives

a speech to his men.

But then again,

Gregoire might not be

so easily persuaded.

We must keep them divided and

unarmed

if we are to meet

with success.

You have a question?

Are we enough?

What if Gregoire resists?

His sword is said to be

blessed by God himself.

That is why we must

hold to our course.

Catch them... unawares.

And what of Melkon?

He is known to fight with

the strength of a dozen men.

What say you

to that, brother?

He is your blood.

I never liked

his shadow.

Some say he is

slightly better.

Could not that have

waited until after?

No.

You... shall take his

position. Yes, my lord.

Bury the body

in the brush.

And the head.

Pick it up!

Thank you.

Have I

forgotten something?

You spoke not

of the division.

Yes, my lord.

What is our share?

You shall each

receive a tenth.

A tenth?

Each?

Hmm. More than twenty

fold your greatest harvest.

Milord.

Over there!

Koko!

He spies on us!

Catch him!

Bring the freak here.

Alive.

Hold him.

Higher!

You're no match

for Gregoire and Melkon.

Bind him and gag him.

Hide him close by.

That gold shall be mine...

be he with us

or against us.

Have you gathered

the volunteers, sergeant?

Renault, Menas and several

others offered before we need ask.

Interesting.

But all that gold,

my lord?

Will so few men suffice?

A party of too many will

draw suspicion, sergeant.

Have the men meet us at

the abbey in a day's time.

- Yes, my lord.

- Godspeed, my lord.

I can't believe it.

Gregoire and Melkon are gonna

walk right into the trap.

Maybe they will be

persuaded by Renault.

If Gregoire is smart,

he will listen

and they will steal

the gold together.

But Gregoir isn't like

that, nor is Melkon.

Then he's in trouble,
