章 119: Confronting evil

Leo slammed his fist on the table, making Lisa Young jump in her seat. She stared at him with a mix of fear and curiosity, wondering what had triggered his sudden outburst. She saw a dark and dangerous glint in Leo's eyes as he grabbed his coat and met her gaze.

"What's the time?" Leo asked coldly.

"6 pm." Lisa replied promptly, wondering why Leo was asking such a question.

"Just in time for evening service." Leo muttered under his breath.

"I have one last thing I need to do before we can wrap up this case." Leo said, his voice cold and determined. "This is something I have to do alone." He added, twisting the demonic black bull ring on his index finger. The ring was a symbol of his pact with a powerful entity, a secret he had kept from Lisa and everyone else.

He didn't wait for Lisa to reply or protest. He stormed out of the office, leaving her behind in confusion and worry. He got into his car and drove to the parish of the Father Charles.
