This is a joke, right?” Katz said in disbelief. “You can’t be serious, Pierce. She saw Jesus Christ! How many other sons of God were crucified in Jerusalem two thousand years ago?” he said through clenched teeth.

Both he and Gavin quickly looked into the living room to see if their elevating discussion from the foyer had disturbed Karianne. Fortunately, she was still under, with her right hand raised like a flag. “There is nothing bigger than this, Pierce,” Katz said in a desperate whisper. “She was actually there. At the crucifixion. Her report is the most… most…”

“Sorry, Katz,” Gavin whispered. “We have to move on.”

“Move on? Move on? I’m scheduling you for a CAT scan, Pierce. You definitely need your head examined. No one in their right mind would move on from this. For heaven’s sake, I’m Jewish and even I want to know more!”

“Katz, we almost lost her. She cried hysterically for more than a half hour and didn’t respond to any of those little tricks of the trade you’re so hot on. Thank God you finally did get her back under.”

“I screwed up. What can I say?” Katz said. “I never expected her to pop out of the trance like that. Very uncharacteristic. She’s been the perfect patient up until then. But now I know better,” he pleaded. “I won’t take anything for granted.”

“Neither will I,” Gavin shot back. “Whoever or whatever she saw almost drove her out of her mind. If we lose her, we lose our best shot at Krogan. I can’t—won’t take that chance.”

Katz rolled his eyes. “Look, we won’t lose her. I promise.”

“Sorry.”

“But how can you not let me take her back?”

“How can I let you? These questions you’re asking her could give her nightmares—could screw her up for the rest of her life!”

“Please! Let me be the psychologist and you the cop. When was the last time you heard someone speaking in premedieval Latin, asleep or awake?”

“She never actually did say his name. All we got were nicknames.”

“Nicknames? Nicknames! ‘God’s Son’? Render unto me a break, Pierce. When was the last time you heard a nickname like that?”

“The answer is no. You’re just gonna have to be patient.”

“If you asked every person on this planet whom they would want to meet if they could meet any person from any time, half of them would say Jesus Christ. And you want me to be patient? We could confirm or rewrite the Bible!”

“Leave me out of your professional aspirations, Katz. Leave Karianne out of it. Look, the longer you argue with me about it, the longer it will take us to get Krogan. And the longer that takes, the longer you’re going to have to be patient,” Gavin said.

“Okay. Okay,” Katz said. “If that’s what it’s going to take, let’s get him. He’s ruining everything.”

Gavin had to laugh to himself as he followed a newly motivated Harold Katz into the living room. The psychologist took his seat facing Karianne with a determined countenance.

“Karianne, I want
