Zoe had the taxi drop her off two blocks away. The area around the church was already being cordoned off. Cop cars were everywhere.

She shoved her scarf farther down over her face, clutched her purse with her camera tucked inside, and walked. It would be tricky, but the church was big, full of nooks and crannies. It cast a wide shadow.

She crossed the street, moving toward a side building, then through a dark breezeway that connected with the left side of the church. The area was deserted. She crouched in some shrubs and waited. Light from inside threw a tangle of color onto the ground as it passed through stained-glass windows.

A side door opened, and she saw a uniform cop coming out. He moved to the rear of St. Sebastian toward another building. A large structure that appeared to be the rectory.

She got up and headed toward the door, hoping it hadn’t locked behind him. She was in luck. The door opened. She took a deep breath and entered.

She was in partial shadow, in a small alcove that led into a side altar. Candles flickered, but the main body of the church exploded with light. She could see Johnny talking to another cop about twenty feet away.

She had to move quickly, do what she had to do, and get out. She crouched low, keeping near the outer wall. She was midway down the side aisle when she slid into a pew. All activity seemed to be centered near the main altar and a side altar where a Christmas crèche had been set up. She eased upward, her eyes level with the back of the pew. At first she thought it was just part of the Christmas decorations, until the horror of what she really saw came crashing through.
