IC Ch 6c: Discovories

August 1921, Boston.
A dead guard at the abandoned chapel, a stolen statue revealing strange numbers and a burnt postcard. A strange night sighting by a Harvard professor only 2 days later has led to too many coincidences to ignore.
Dr. Chambers is forming another MAPS team, and you have been called.

"It certainly was," says Eddie between mouthfuls of pie. "It struck when we were out on Thatcher Island. We just barely got off of it in time."

Norman considers how best to raise the issues with Angela. This called for a cautious approach.

"What a lovely meal. madame, you have outdone yourself." he begins.

"We spoke with Reverend Peterson today. He mentioned you are a kind soul. Someone who can be trusted. He also mentioned that your family has suffered a grave loss uh, recently. You have our deepest condolences."

He waits to see how she reacts before pressing the matter.

"Oh, thank my cook, that was all her." She smiles. When you bring up her recent loss her smile fades, "Yes, my parents both passed away a while back."

"I am sorry to hear that. Apparently a lot of folks have lost family members recently. The Reverend mentioned Christina at the Hardware store did as well. It seems like a difficult time for the good folks of Rockport." Norman adds.

"In fact, The Reverend shared with us that he believes a Chapel of some sort is behind the uh, recent misfortunes."

"Yes sir, Christina lost her father about a month after my mother passed," then after hearing the last part, she smiled "Oh that's just silly. Why would a church have anything to do with murder. Christina thought that also, but they were just accidents. Nothing more." she says as she gets up and collects empty pie plates.

Richard gently reaches out and places his hand on Angela's arm and wrist and gently urges her back into her seat and with a warm and heartfelt voice says "Angela, I know this is hard for you but you need to hear this please take a few moments to talk to us about this, otherswise they may have already won, the threat here is VERY real. They are working to make everyone believe there is no threat and that all of these strange occurances are freak accidents, please believe us when we tell you that they are'nt"

Angela sits down, "NO, my parents died in accidents. Nothing more. Deputy Morris assured me they found nothing to indicate foul play. There is no conspiracy." She says as she puts her head down in her hands.

Richard places his hand on Angela's back trying to offer her some comfort from her grief "I am truely sorry Angela, but there is a very strong possibility that the Deputies office is involved with this. I know this is hard for you but could you please go over the details of how your parent passed and anything unusual about what they may have been involved with the days leading up to each of them passing?"

"My father died two years ago. It was just a boating accident." She looks up at you, "And my mother almost a year ago. She died from a shark attack, nothing more to it." She says indignantly.

"We saw something that resembled a shark on our way back from Thatcher Island," says Eddie, "only it wasn't exactly a shark. Aunt Loosa got a better look at it than I did."

Angela looks up at you not sure if she believes you or not. "But that would mean..." you see her begin to shake, then put her face down in her hands.

Richard gently rubs her back to comfort her as she sobs and softly says "Go ahead get the emotions out its ok, but we need you to have a clear head when you tell us everything you remember about the things leading up to their passings"

Richard looks up to the others and puts his hand up to them signalling them to give her a minute, to let her emotions run their course.

Eddie doesn't know what to say, but he looks at Aunt Loosa, who he feels would be best suited to comfort Angela.

The cook comes in. A rather plump 30 year old black woman. "Miss Angela," Then she looks at you. "What have you done? Don't you know to leave dead ghosts lie." She pulls a roller pin out of nowhere it seems. "Now get away from her."

Aunt Loosa moves towards Angela to comfort her when the maid walks in.

She places herself between Angela and the maid, then shoots the maid a stern glare Now dear, your concern is well meant but your actions misplaced. Put that rolling stick of yours back where it came from.

Tidy away these dishes whilst my Doctor friend help Miss Angela
she steps closer to the maid and then hisses forcefully, dropping into a deeper southern accent Girl, what you tink you doin? You threatnin' these decent white folk? What you tink goin' to happen to a coloured girl who threaten white folk? You crazy girl? We may be free now but they don't tink twice about lockin us away for doin' nutin'. What good and help you goin be if you locked in jail, huh? Now go! Clear dem dishes and I'll set these nice folk aright by you
Yeah, well, sometimes nothin' can be a real cool hand.
