A cold breeze came up, as if somehow summoned by the priest's dark thoughts, and tugged at<br />

his cloak as the plane appeared in the south. Its running lights were on, and it was gradually<br />

losing altitude.<br />

The phone call had come like a bolt out of the blue. Vittorio knew who it was the moment he<br />

heard 47's voice. The agent was on a plane loaded with orphans, headed for Sicily, and in need<br />

of someone to care for the youngsters. Why was a hired killer flying north with a planeload of<br />

children? There was no way to know.<br />

And it really didn't matter. The orphans were in need of help, and Father Vittorio would do his<br />

best to provide it. No simple matter, given all of the legalities involved, but the local customs<br />

agent was a member of Vittorio's parish. The Holy See could be counted on to help, and the<br />

Lord would take care of the rest.<br />

There was a brief screech of tires as the airplane put down, the engines roared, and it wasn't<br />

long before the twin-engined transport turned off the runway and onto the taxiway in front of<br />

the terminal. It stopped a few minutes later, and the big props continued to turn for a few<br />

revolutions before finally coming to a halt.<br />

A door opened, stairs were lowered, and Agent 47 appeared. The assassin was wearing his usual<br />

black suit, white shirt, and red tie. When he was halfway down the stairs, he turned to accept<br />

two briefcases, then two suitcases. Three of the objects were left next to the plane as he crossed<br />

the tarmac.<br />

Vittorio noticed that 47's skin was darker than usual, as if he'd been spending a great deal of<br />

time in the sun, and wondered how long the agent had been in Africa.<br />

“It's good to see you, my son,” the priest said, as the two men embraced.<br />

“And you, Father,” Agent 47 replied. “Thank you for agreeing to help.”<br />

“Such is the Lord's work,” Vittorio said, as he eyed the plane. The children were being unloaded<br />

by then, and the scrawny youngsters made for a pitiful sight as another man, who looked to be<br />

the pilot, led them toward the terminal. “What can you tell me about the little ones?” the cleric<br />

inquired. “What happened to their families?”<br />

“Their parents were killed by slavers. They were on their way to a whorehouse in Fez when<br />

something happened to the man who owned them,” 47 replied.<br />

Vittorio crossed himself. He could well imagine what the “something” was.<br />

“But unlike most orphans, they come with an endowment,” 47 added, as he presented<br />

Al-Fulani's briefcase to the clergyman.<br />

The priest released the latches, took a peek inside, and closed the lid.<br />

“That looks like a lot of money, my son.”
