There was a knock on the door.
" Enter".
Severus and Eubulus entered. The burly guard had his arms bound behind his back.
Mauritius held up a parchment. " This says you have been charged with treason". His powerful voice hesitated. " How do you plea?".
" Guilty". The burly guard smiled. " I am a follower of Jesus".
" Now why would a Roman guard". He frowned. " Become a follower of a carpenter who was executed years ago".
" I was on the execution detail for Peter's execution".
" Who is Peter?".
" One of Jesus's closest disciples". Eubulus shook his head. " His execution really shook me to the core".
" And why is that?".
" He asked us to hang him upside down".
Mauritius scratched his chin in puzzled thought. " And why would he do that?".
" He did not want to die like Jesus the Son of God".
Later, Eubulus was saved from execution by an angel.
