If its a set up, well, if its connected to Akus' death, maybe it'll give him a lead, and his team can investigate *his* death too. 'Mom always said not to be interested in married women, or the real good lookers', he thinks with a wry smile. 'She didn't say 'and',' he thinks. He slides along the bench seat, then, when he is in the darker area, stands up and goes into the darkness behind the columns. He stays alert, but focuses his attention on the woman.

This isn't Lessa, it is a middle aged woman dressed as a nun. She says very quietly, "I'm Sister Claire. A young woman, who needs your help, asked me to bring you to her. If you are willing to come."

"Good." she whispers, then smiling she beckons you to follow her. > He follows the Sister wherever she leads. She leads you out of the main sanctuary and down a series of corridors deep inside the large cathedral. Finally she stops outside a wooden door. Turning to you she says quietly, "Father Douglas and I have talked to Sianna Cramer and we are convinced of her innocence. Neither of us think it would be wise for her to go to the authorities, even though we believe her evidence would clear her. ..well, you will understand why after you talk to her." She knocks softly on the door and then opens it. You see Lessa sitting in on a wooden chair behind a wooden table. She stands as the door opens looking anxiously at the door. Relief floods her face when she sees it is you and Sister Claire. Sister Claire says, "I hope Si Shultz will be able to help you, my child." " I will leave you two to talk.", then with a nod to Woof she steps aside and pulls the door shut leaving Woof and Lessa in the room together. Lessa looks like she has been crying, and Woof sees that both of her hands are bandaged. "Woof." says Lessa, "I'm glad you came. My daughter's life depends on your help." Eris AKU GM

Woof tries to keep up with the twists, turns and stairs, but eventually loses track and just follows. >Turning to you she says quietly, "Father Douglas and I have >talked to Sianna Cramer and we are convinced of her innocence. >Neither of us think it would be wise for her to go to the >authorities, even though we believe her evidence would clear her. >..well, you will understand why after you talk to her." Woof nods. What can he say. "Thank you, Sister," is all he can think of. >She knocks softly on the door and then opens it. You see Lessa >sitting on a wooden chair behind a wooden table. She stands as >the door opens looking anxiously at the door. Relief floods her >face when she sees it is you and Sister Claire. > >Sister Claire says, "I hope Si Shultz will be able to help you, >my child." "Again thank you, Sister Claire," he says, giving a slight smile. >" I will leave you two to talk.", then with a nod to Woof she >steps aside and pulls the door shut leaving Woof and Lessa in the >room together. Lessa looks like she has been crying, and Woof >sees that both of her hands are bandaged. > >"Woof." says Lessa, "I'm glad you came. My daughter's life >depends on your help." Woof takes a step towards her, and holds his hands out to her, "I'm here, Lessa... You're hurt! How can I help you and help her? Tell me what happened." Woof
