"A witch?" Father Dennis Mulray said, not bothering to hide the scorn in his voice. "You have evidence to support this accusation, or do you expect me to lightthe bonfire for you. This isn't Salem, father, nor is it the 17th century."
Father Peters was quivering in his seat, sweat poured down his forehead. He fumbled with a file in front of him. A Manila folder with the words Cassandra Bell. A bunch of photos and files fell out. Men and women all smiling.
"My congregation is dropping like flies, and it's all her fault. Jenny chambers, one of our most fervent and vocal patrons leaves us for another woman. Dan and Kelly Simpson volunteers at every fund raiser were caught making love on the alter. They all spoke to her. This Cassandra woman. She told them to do it , or convinced them that they should be more adventurous, damn the sin, and they did.
But worse was Father Harper. He went to talk to her, the next day we found him hanging dead by a rope in his bathroom. The suicide note said "I didn't want to hurt the children, thank you Cassandra for showing me the way."
Father Dennis Mulray was a stone faced man. Most people assumed he was a black and white, right and wrong evangelist. A man who believed in good and evil and the thin line that separated them.
Part of him wished that were true. But he couldn't ignore the shades of grey that lay between black and white. Before becoming a priest he has been a policeman. It was this skill and his experience in interviewing suspects that allowed him to see when someone was lying to him. It's what gave him his reputation.
"You spoke with her didn't you," Father Mulray said.
Father Peters looked away. His eyes suddenly intent on a bird sitting in a tree outside the window.
"All I am asking is that you speak with her. See for yourself." Father Peters passed a slip of paper over to him. "But be on guard, when she speaks it will be with the Devils mouth."
Father Mulray picked up the slip of paper, and read the address written down.
"Very well, I will speak with her and hopefully put this nonsense behind us."
Father Dennis Mulray had other investigations to run. He would be keen to put this one to bed.

A little bell announced Father Mulray's arrival in the small shop. There was the faint smell of incense in the room. It smelled of jasmine, and reminded him of working in the garden with his mother. It was a homely place. Warm and inviting
