Work Text:

Cudgel

Tony eyed the priest holding a cudgel with suspicion. “Aren't you guys supposed to be pacifists?"

The priest snorted. “As if. We're the avenging angels of God. It's our job to make sure the flock doesn't stray.”

“That includes beating them to death for adultery?”

“They must be punished. It is God's will.”

Tony shook his head at the obviously deluded priest. Tony would even go so far as to call him a false priest. More of a cultist than a priest. The priest needed to re-read the scriptures again. This wasn't what God would want at all.

Still it was Tony's job to keep him talking, so that McGee could sneak up behind him and handcuff him. He’d made the mistake of killing a Navy man and thus bringing the attention of NCIS to him.

Notes:

Prompts are currently open. If you'd like to prompt me, please do so here. Note you have to be an ao3 member to do this.

If you are not an ao3 member, you can prompt me here. Please follow the same rules as are listed in the above link. However, because this is a handmade prompt form(that thinks it's a poll), it is considerably more limited than what ao3 provides, so please use the ao3 form if you're an ao3 member. Please note the name option is for a name that I can say this is for so that you know it's for you. Since this is for non ao3 members it won't be true gifts, but you will be mentioned in the notes.

This is a new thing I'm trying, so please leave feedback here if you think it could be improved.
