Flashback: 20 years ago, Eglise Saint Julien-le-Pauvre, Paris France.

Hsu looked up as he sensed the approach of another Immortal. He was dressed to show off his Power, the bespoke Saville Row suit and gold, rings, watch, bracelet chain necklace and a diamond tie pin. Such a display of wealth and power was at odds in the small, humble church dedicated to the patron saint of the poor. His scimitar lay across at least three of the old wooden chairs next to him. He looked down the aisle as the door opened. Behind him Marcus stood ready with a Sig Sauer PDW , just in case there was trouble. Andy’s was slung over his shoulder, as he held a leather bound document holder in his hand.
