- THWACK!! Kate had utter mastery over her bullwhip. It sizzled like a
- frying snake in her expert hand. The tip seemed sentient as it floated
- deadly above me. I had to think fast, since I'd only planned on dying once
- in this decade.
-
- "Darling, I realize that I made a small mistake..."
- THWACK!!
- "A big mistake...a terribly big mistake, but it was just a simple
- oversight on my part, nothing to be concerned about. Really, it's just a
- hop skip and a jump away."
-
- "Where are we going, anyway?" asked John, which distracted Kate
- from the punishment at hand.
- I pointed out a dense amber luminescence somewhere near Central Park's
- East Side. "We need to follow that yellow thick glow," I instructed.
- So the four of us skipped along, somewhat worried about muggers and
- hustlers and bums. That's when we heard the roaring sound.

- It sounded kind of husky, like Christopher Lee with a sore throat. Kate
- once again unsnapped her bullwhip. I pushed her and John in front of
- Sheila and me.
-
- "What are you doing?" demanded Kate.
- "Don't worry, you're safe! It's the O'Tooles that he's after!"

- And sure enough I saw a glinting pate that could only signify one thing:
- the silver beanie of Cardinal Mark Taranto. I fainted into Lily's arms.
