Monsignor Howard stormed down the long and dark corridors of Briarcliff Manor. He stopped as he reached his destination, Doctor Ardens office. The Monsignor opened the door and stepped inside. The loud classical music and his high spirit angered the priest even more. He threw his rosary to stop the music.    "Jude has been right about you, you're a monster!"

Timothy was mad as hell, he had to choke the life out of Shelley with his very oen rosary to protect Briarcliff and most importantly his reputation.

The priest would have prefered to get rid of Arden. But the older man threated to expose "everything" and thr Monsignor couldn't let that happen. He had worked so hard for his reputation and success, he may be cardinal in a year or two if the church acknowledged his hard work.

"We have a threat in common, Jude has to go." Arden was serious about it, he wanted to get rid of her before she could expose his past or his experiments. He needed the patients or else his research would be useless.

Timothy couldn't let this happen. "No, she will stay, I will make sure that she won't be any harm anymore." The Monsignor couldn't do this without her, she was after all his right hand and he needed her strength, one of the things he adored the most.

"I hope you know what you are doing. Take care that this nosy nun won't come near my lab or she will end like Shelley." Arden turned around and left the priest behind in his office. One way or another, the older nun had to go...

Timothy was horrified, surely it was only a threat, he wouldn't go that far, or would he?

The Monsignor left Ardens office to visit Jude. His heart rate increased, he adored her smile that lit up her face every time he came near her but this time, she wouldn't be happy about his visit.

Timothy often thought about the boy Jed Potter and what he said that night before he died. "It's you who she thinks of when she touches herself at night!" He had screamed it when Timothy grabbed Jude and carried her out of the room after she attacked the young man.

He had never been this close to her before and nearly forgot why he had to carry her away but he still heard what Jed sayed regardless her screams.

The days events had been awful and he had prayed for Jeds family but what shocked him the most was that she might feel more than just friendship and appreciation.

She was strong, confident, intelligent and beautiful. He always admired her but knew he had to be the most powerful and dominating of them because she was "just" a nun. He was the superior and both were married to god, a liaison unthinkable.

Timothy didn't want to loose her, he definitively couldn't work without her in Briarcliff.

They had to talk but first he had to think of something to say or do.... Timothy stopped, he would do the excact same as Jude, he will punish her like the patients in Briarcliff and make sure she will listen to him this time... or he might loose her forever.
