... kill someone without leaving traces, but to make it gruesome implies some kind of splatter. The priest couldn’t have been hanged, maybe strangled? Either way, all of my instincts are telling me that something terrible happened here.”

Sam spun around and drew his pistol, finding himself staring down the sights at a raven-haired woman. She was in her early twenties and quite attractive, but her scowl was off-putting.

“Sorry about that,” Sam said, lowering his gun.

“Whoever you are, you do not have permission to enter this place!”

“People are dying and we’re trying to stop it. Don’t pray for help and expect it to knock.”

“Samuel, you’re not helping. I’m sorry for intruding, Miss….”
