Malchus yawned as he sat on a cold marble step. People were beginning to show up with torches. He noticed a young man standing alone under the arch of the gate. Just then, he noticed Jonathon appear with a group of temple police. Jonathon threw a bag of coins at the young man's feet. He smiled as he tied it around his waist.

Then Flavius Artemis, Pilate's centurion, came with some more soldiers. He began to talk with the young man. Then the Roman centurion got his men into formation. Malchus noticed that the soldiers had small shields and battle swords.

When it was time, Flavius raised his sword. " Let's go".

Led by the young man who had taken the bag of coins, the group started walking toward the Pool of Siloam, Led by Flavius and Jonathon, the group gained numbers as it walked.

At the rear was Malchus.
