Flavius Artemis the centurion page 6 by ric gustafson
Flavius was standing along a wall in the dimly lit room. He watched intently as a tall dark haired man quietly entered the room. He was a wearing a hooded cloak. He now was standing along a wall at the back of the room. The cloak covered most of his face.
Caiaphas banged a fist on a chair. " Let's get started". He stared at Flavius. " On recommendation of Pilate and myself". He smiled. " Flavius Artemis is now the garrison centurion for the Fortress".
Flavius replied quietly. " I give you my complete loyalty".
Caiaphas sat down in his chair. " Let us begin this special council meeting".
One of the priests stood up. " This man is performing many signs".
" If we let this man continue like this, all men will believe in him" yelled another priest.
A third priest stood up. " The Romans will come and take away both our place and our nation".
Caiaphas raised an arm. " It is expedient for you that one man die for the people". He frowned. " And that the whole nation not perish".
Just then, Flavius saw the tall slender man uncover his face.
" What are you willing to give me if I deliver him to you?".
