Let's not waste anymore time here. Why did you call me ?" "I need you to go to Rome". "Rome? That's across the ocean". "And seas". "Of all places,why Rome?" "I want you to uncover a hidden truth for me" "What do you mean?" "Theirs a hidden truth that has never been brought to light up till this day". "A female pope named pope Joan". "That's a lie". "The story doesn't end there.
Raid downs his glass of whisky
According to the legend; it says that she had a child". "A female pope? A child as well?" "Indeed. A forbidden one at that. But theirs more to it. The rumor says she delivered her child which was a girl in mansight". "She gave birth in public?" "Yes". "What comes next?" "I don't know. From there on out,the story goes blank. And till this day no one has heard a word about her. Some say it's a legend,some a myth,while some say it's a story made up by the church inorder to prevent women from being higher ups in the Catholic mission. But I say, the church and all other stories are lies. I believe the church hid the truth and theirs more to the story we don't know about". "If that's the case then why do you want to dig up what has been buried? I mean, if the church went through great lengths to hide the truth ;their must be a reason". "You don't understand the situation at hand. Do you know what it means that people in Rome, particularly twentieth and twenty-first century have no knowledge about her". "Because it might be just a myth". "I choose not till believe. Not tull you get back with the information of what actually happened ". "You know it's gonna cost ya?" "I can pay any double". "Triple". "Just send me your details and leave the rest to me". "Why are you so interested in this pope and her life? Wanna marry her daughter?" "Don't
Raid smiles
be silly". "Look, I can help you buh if your plan is to expose the church then count me out. Because for them to eliminate her from human existence means their's a great reason for it". "You think too far. I have no intention to expose the church. You think I wanna be eliminated as well?" "What do you mean by as well?" "Topic for another day. Let's go back to the main topic. I am a collector, a discoverer and so much more;but I can't go on this one by myself". "Reason?" "I was accused of murder".

"You're under
Jaden looks at the house arrest band on Raids left leg
house arrest?" "Indeed. So I was put on confinement till further notice". "And you're sure it's an accusation?" "I might be a bad person buh not a murderer. I am not the giver of life so why should I take it?" "You intend to document the information?" "Nah, that wouldbe a waste of time. The girl who wrote a novel about it didn't even last a day". "She got executed?" "No,the novel was stolen before it could even got finished". "So you want me to find the girl as well?" "You're intelligent. But that's if she's alive. Anyways, do qe have a deal? "Take.
Jaden brings out a paper and gives it to Raid
It's my account details". "Gimme a second.
