Angela could see that Gabby recognized the names "They were there," she said softly

"Can you tell us anything about them?"

"June…June felt that she had sinned terribly, and hurt everyone around her," Gabby said "She came into the church so hopeful She was really beautiful She had dark hair and bright, bright green eyes And we knew that she was destined to be special But one of the council ain And then…"

"Go on, Gabby, please?" Angela prodded "What about Susanne?"

Gabby nodded She grehiter still "I heard her screaive themselves totally over to God and the church"

"He He who, Gabby?" Jackson asked Angela saw that Jackson actually looked a little perplexed "Richard Gull? The bishop of the church?"

She looked at him blankly

"A friend of ours went into the church the other day Youfellow He toldone, of a man named Richard Gull, who is the bishop"

Gabby shook her head "Richard Gull is a saint now He died years ago That’s what they told me"

"Gull is dead? The police don’t know that," Jackson said "Legally, he’s still listed as the head of the church"

"I don’t know anything about that," she said "The church has a bishop, and he’s the one who is in control of everything"

"And is Martin DuPre--the ht--the bishop now?" Jackson asked

"Martin DuPre--he’s Senator Holloway’s aide, isn’t he?" Sario on Is he the bishop now?"

"He--he’s just the bishop," Gabby said

"Gabby, is he the ela asked

She nodded solemnly "He’s the one," she said

Jackson stood up "We do need to get your family out of here, Mr Taylor And I’d like it to be now--not later I think we’ve been lucky that no attack has been made on Gabby yet, but I believe that the police have been careful, watching the house I’ to call Detective Devereaux now and soet you out in a private plane, so there will be no paper trail

"You heard a young wo woman disappeared," Jackson said "Gabby, for your own life, and for the life of your baby, you have to be strong"

"Nothing," she said "Nothing at all"

"Nothing at all when Angela isn’t here," he agreed "She see

"And why do you think that is?" Will continued "For one thing, ould a ghost only appear at night?"

"Maybe they don’t like a lot of activity Maybe there’s sothe day, that they don’t really have enough strength to co the day, when they get to be good at being ghosts"

Will looked at her with a dry expression "If these ghosts have been around for over a hundred years, they ought to be good at being ghosts"

Whitney shrugged "We’re still forgetting the power of the individual Maybe some are just more powerful, just as they hen they were alive"

"There’s so yet" He shook his head "Are they illusions? Maybe even shared illusions at tiy left behind And they’re individuals Good people, bad people, all kinds of people But we don’t believe that a ghost killed Regina Holloway, though we do know that ghosts remain in the house So, a person killed her, but how? And what do the ghosts have to do with it?"

Whitney stood up "I’ to head up to ht All night"

"That house next door is very convenient," Will said

"Yes, but they are separate houses, separate doors, separate walls"

"True Still, a great place to disappear--if you need to get out of this place quickly"
