Chapter 13

Holly sleeps badly, haunted by dreams of the big man with the bat. She doesn’t kick the chair in these dreams, only freezes in place while the big man swats Kate’s head off. She awakes with dawn just an orangey-pink line on the eastern horizon, pulls her iPad off the charger, and writes an email to Jerome.

I hope you are busy with your book, and I hate to ask you to go back to work for me, especially after you got in touch with John Ackerly, but I have to. (Besides, I think you said you were looking for a distraction.) I believe the woman who is stalking Kate may be—is almost certainly—a religious zealot. Kate got a note in Spokane that said she who speaks lies shall perish, which is from the book of Proverbs. When the stalker dumped roadkill on Kate’s luggage, she wrote Exodus 22 on the door. This is a long shot, J, but would you look online for churches that have been in trouble with the law for crimes having to do with abortion protests, women’s rights, or LGBTQ+ rights or rallies. Start with Westboro Baptist Church in Topeka, and follow the breadcrumbs from there. I’m only interested in church protests that resulted in charges for gross trespassing, assault, criminal threatening, things like that.

If you do this for me, not only will you be paid, you will also get a free pass to call me “Hollyberry” three (3) times. Thank you, and if you are too busy, I understand.
