Dump Miner - Chapter Twenty
The Cardinals hear rumors from the dumps of the coming birth.


Cardinal Superbia calls a emergency meeting to discuss Father Templar’s findings.

Cardinal Luxuria:
What is so important that I had to be called from my bathing?

Cardinal Superbia:
There is a rumor going around the facilities that a Messiah is coming.

Cardinal Invidia:
I have not heard this. Has any one else heard of this?

A rumble starts among the other cardinals.

Cardinal Superbia:
Father Templar’s responsibilities brought him to a welfare facility and he mentioned that he heard an insane man saying that a Messiah is coming. It was causing quite a disturbance.

Cardinal Gula:
An insane man, many souls that live in the facilities have mental illness. This is nothing new, so what is your concern?

Cardinal Invidia:
I think we should send someone, I would be more comfortable.

All cardinals agree with him.

Cardinal Luxuria:
You should send Father Templar. He is already familiar with the facility.

All cardinals agree.

Cardinal Acedia:
We need to move on to real business. We need to discuss the Reagan. He is making this world so distressing.

Cardinal Superbia:
It is true! We are losing profits every day.

Cardinal Gula:
And it is making us look bad! I feel fat.

Cardinal Luxuria:
What can we do about it though?

Cardinal Superbia:
He holds more stock than any Americo corporation combined. The Walker’s will be the Reagan for years to come.

Cardinal Acedia:
But the sad and recent loss of his only heir. This leaves a lot open to the imagination.

Cardinal Superbia:
But what if he was to pass.

Cardinal Luxuria:
Of what, he looks good enough to eat.

Cardinal Ira:
We must eradicate him from our glorious Americo.

Cardinal Gula:
It is the only way, he does not have children now, and he has no other relatives that we know of.

Cardinal Superbia:
And with no heir to inherit the Walker estate, The Church would receive all of the Regan’s holdings by default.

Cardinal Luxuria:
Giving The Church the control it needs to get this company back on the path of the righteous.

Cardinal Invidia:
But what if there is a sibling or a family member we do not know of?

Cardinal Superbia:
We will have to take that chance, what is truly the worst thing that could happen?

Cardinal Acedia:
Yes, I agree. They couldn’t be worse than John Walker.

Cardinal Ira:
I will handle the arrangements. So this meeting is adjourned?

The Cardinals all agree and go about there regular business.
