The door is noticed during the few moments you are searching for a hiding place. If you wish to hide there say so.

Rebecca's editor would be more upset at an arrested reporter, than at one who came back with no story.
She runs.
She runs.

Those within the church: From the sound of it, most of the visitors have left the church entrance to investigate the open grave. But relief is brief, as the door slowly inches its way open to reveal three shadowy figures one armed with what must be some kind of shotgun, "If'n there's anyone in there, best you come on out before Hennesy begins shootin'".

It's just cobwebs, thinks Anne, but she cannot fight the rising feeling of panic.

Re: 'The Strangeness of Hezekiah Mason' - chpt 1
Blake felt his heart come through his mouth, and a terror grip him. Somehow, the start reality of a shotgun, physical and material, was so much more horrible than the ethereal and supernatural possibilities that he entertained a thousand times in his imagination, when writing his pulp. Perversely, he could swallow being eaten by a ghost, but the thought of being shot was terrible.
"I surrender! I surrender!" he said, coming out of hiding behind the church organ with his hands held firmly up. "Please Mr. Hensey, don't shoot!"

Tommy Stone
Tommy's heart thuds loudly as he hears a group of men enter the church... he feels around trying to locate something to use as a weapon, something to bludgeon the would be assailants with. If he could get the drop on them as they made their way further into the church he might be able to even the odds a little. Silently he cursed his decision to leave his pistol behind before he made his journey to this cursed church-yard... his groping hands made contact with something....

In the church: As the figures begin to enter the building the ominous shape of a shotgun before them, there is a moment of confusion as Harry Blake steps out from the shadows hands high his voice raised several octaves with fear. The advancing figures halt and the double barrels of the shotgun swing towards Harry, "Okay feller just stand still and keep those hands up, the 'Colonel' here has a light trigger and I'd hate to twitch it through suprise". From alonside him comes a sharp laugh, "Yeah and a big guy like you would' look good hanging on his wall".
More laughter, "Okay any more in here? Come out now it'll be better for you than havin' us come lookin'".

Harry Ignored the jibe about his weight. He had endured much and worse, and it bothered him less than a fig.Priest wrote:"Okay feller just stand still and keep those hands up, the 'Colonel' here has a light trigger and I'd hate to twitch it through suprise".

"Gentlemen, it is a Church. In the middle of a black night. With firearms being brandished. No sane man would be here, and even an insane one would have fled!" he answered, without answering.
"Pardon my nerves, gentlemen, but I am afflicted with a distrust of firearms, particularly when aimed my why. You have no need of intimidating me, for I can assure you I am already intimidated. As you can see, I am of no threat, unless you take objection to my profuse sweating..." he joked, wiping his duly sweating brow.

In the church: At your remark about it being a church you elicit a bunch of nervous sounding laughs, "Well feller" says the shotgun wielder who you figure is the one called Hennesy, "I don't reckon I like the idea of shootin' somebody in a church. So ifn I was you I would just ease on over here slow, where we can get a good look at you".
Without taking his eyes from you he speaks out of the corner of his mouth, "Jed you'd best go find Otis an' tell him we caught us a stranger hangin' about the church". Footsteps attest to one of the three moving away into the cemetery.
"Now big guy, I'm guessin' that it weren't you a ringin' that bell. So why don't you tell us who's in here with you, might go easier with you when Otis comes back"

Rebecca waits among the trees across the road. She moves through them up the road to the church to make out what cars may bevparked there. If she can safely creep up to note the license plate she will.

Tommy Stone
"A shoe!" he thought, realising what he had discovered, maybe he could throw it to create a diversion and try to flee the Church? Deciding against that, the men sounded edgy and although he's only just met the fat author he would feel bad if the man was peppered with buck-shot, Tommy carefully put the she back, it wasn't much use as a weapon either.
"All-right.. All-right, I'm coming out.. I'm not armed.." Tommy stepped out from his hiding place, hands held high, clearly empty.

Re: 'The Strangeness of Hezekiah Mason' - chpt 1
In the church: The sudden appearance of Tommy causes a few moments of consternation amongst the newcomers, Then the shotgun wielder, obviously the guy called Hennesy, moves the weapon to cover him, "Jumpin' Jiminy there's another one, best you step forward slowly mister ifn you don't want to upset the 'colonel' here". As he speaks the other guy shorter and stouter than the gunman steps forward, in the church's candlelight you see the glitter of a badge on his jacket front.
"Okay guy, you heard Hennesy step on up and let's get a look at you. You and the big guy as well"[/color]
