Father Martin Buchanan closed the door of the presbytery behind him and gazed in both directions along the street. He had two things, some free time before Confirmation classes started and a plan. To the right first, he said to himself, and struck out. Martin tended not to wear clerical dress in his spare time, so he looked like any other thirty-something young man as he ambled along in sweats and trainers. He’d given a lot of thought to the frightened young woman in the confessional the day before, and the more he thought about it the less he liked it. Once he’d shared the story with Angela and Patrick he’d felt a bit better, but it still wasn’t enough. Even though they’d reassured him about his actions, he still felt bad for ducking down behind the screen.

Somewhere in a house in one of these highly respectable suburban streets, one of his flock, kept against her will, faced who knew what awful threat for not complying with the wishes of her captors. She might even now be suffering a punishment for having tried to escape. Martin had decided to turn his private prayer into a walking event. He planned to trawl the streets around the church and see if he could find the house. They couldn’t stay indoors all the time. What had the young woman said? “They want me do bad things, with mans – men, at parties.” Unless the parties took place in the house itself, the women would have to come out, no doubt escorted by a hulking giant like Igor. And if they happened in the house, then guests would arrive. Either way, it would cause traffic. And he might just manage to pass at the right moment.

He knew it was a very long shot, and possibly naive of him, but he had to do something.
