"You’re not Catholic?" he asked her

"No, no, white, Anglo-Saxon Protestant," she assured hiood, sit down, please Are you interested in joining us then? Can you fill out some information for our roster?" he asked them

"Frankly, first, we’d like to find out a little anization," Jake told him earnestly

Telfur indicated seats in front of the desk

"We don’t do anything unlawful We support the candidates who can keep control on the various situations in our city We exercise free speech, and we support the NRA We’re backed by a huge systeive speeches, and we try to educate people about the problems caused e step outside our racial lines We’re social--look on the walls Bowling And over there, a picnic at the park We have dances, of course, try to get all the young folksfolks!"

"May I?"

Jenna stood, anxious to look at the photos on the wall

"Certainly!"

They pretended to enjoy the photos; Jake was stunned that many contained swastikas and other neo-Nazi paraphernalia But one particular photo of a group at a picnic perplexed hi that she should seize the young man’s attention

"Um, Mr Telfur, could you tellat a shot near a waterfall

"Well, of course," he said, striding over to Jenna

Jake slid his phone from his pocket and quickly took a picture of the picture as they talked

He turned back, hoping he’d been swift and subtle Apparently, he had been Jenna was gushing away about so at

"Mr Telfur, I’ A Mr Conroy Has he been with the group long?"

"Conroy?" Telfur looked puzzled "I don’t know that name Perhaps he’s a prospective member, too"

"Well, thanks," Jake told hi to fill out some of the papers?" Telfur asked

"We need to discuss this between ourselves, but I’ broadly

"Oh, absolutely," Jenna said

He caught her hand, and they left together

"That was fast!" Jenna said

"You were enjoying yourself? You wanted to stay longer?" he teased

She shot him a look that could have killed

"No, but it was business Though, I don’t think that the kid working the desk--good old Brad--did know Blake Conroy"

"No, I don’t think that he did," Jake agreed

"So Blake Conroy was telling the truth?" she asked

"I think"

"Then?" Jenna asked

"Blake Conroy was telling the truth But, I think we do have e need," Jake told her "I think that Gabby gave Angela the information we need to force the truth out into the open"

Jackson was deeply gratified that the federal and local authorities had et Gabby Taylor and her family out of the city

But after Gabby had sat in the station for an hour, relaying every bit of information she could about the Church of Christ Arisen, Andy Devereaux sat in conference with Jackson and Angela for another hour, debating the course of action that needed to be taken

"You can get a search warrant, at least Try to find out what happened to those other girls," Jackson said

"And we search the place--and find nothing Where do we go from there?" Andy asked hie," Jackson said

"Maybe it would be better to rattle it through Senator Holloway," Andy said

"What if the senator is involved in some way as well?" Jackson asked

"Why would the senator be involved with a church that hates him?" Andy said "Hell, no He’ll fire DuPre’s ass! Then, et careless"

Jackson was quiet for athis investigation," he said
