“I admire you so much, Vesta,” said Jason, unabashedly gushing over Odelia’s grandmother. “The way you single-handedly managed to bring in all of those followers. And the way you convinced your family to join the church. I wish I could do the same.”

“Your family isn’t keen on joining your church?” asked Odelia.

They’d taken a seat in the living room. A couple of chairs had been placed around a small table, and in a corner a couch and two armchairs were positioned in front of an old television, all of them festooned with doilies. On the walls framed pictures of Jason’s family were in evidence, knickknacks liberally strewn across every available surface.

“No, my family isn’t as interested in the spirit as I am,” said Jason sadly. “They regularly attend Soul Science meetings, but I think they only do it to humor me.”

“I heard your grandmother refer to Soul Science as a cult?” asked Gran.

“Yeah, Gam-Gam is not exactly Master Omar’s biggest champion.”

“She looks like a real pistol.”

“She’s something else,” Jason agreed, inadvertently darting a glance at the door, as if dreading the prospect of his grandmother joining them. “So what brings you here?” he asked, then: “Oh, where are my manners? Do you want something to drink?”

“Tea, maybe,” said Gran.

“Nothing for me,” said Odelia, who didn’t want to inconvenience Jason or his family.

“What kind of tea do you prefer?” asked Jason, getting up.

“Anything you’ve got,” said Gran. “But if you have herbal tea, that would be great.”

“Be right back,” he said with a smile, and was off like a rabbit, only to return moments later with an apologetic expression on his face. “Tea will be a few moments.”

“That’s fine,” said Odelia. “The reason we’re here is because I’m actually a reporter, and I’m writing an article on Soul Science.”

“Only this is going to be a very positive article,” said Vesta, casting a pointed look at her granddaughter. “Isn’t that right, Odelia?”

“Yes, a very positive article,” she dutifully confirmed.

“You’re a reporter?” asked Jason, suddenly nervous. “I-I didn’t know that.”

“She’s a very honest and conscientious reporter,” Gran clarified. “Not one of them overly critical ones who like to twist your words and invent a lot of stuff you never said.”

“Yeah, I don’t go in for that sort of thing,” said Odelia.

“Okay,” said Jason, now wringing his hands. “So… what is it you want to know?”

“Well, Soul Science is pretty new,” said Odelia. “And people are wondering where it suddenly came from, and what Master Omar’s intentions are. In general I think people simply want to understand.”

“Okay. Um…”

“Maybe you can start by telling us how you got involved with Soul Science?”

“Oh, well, um…” He glanced from Odelia to Vesta, and swallowed convulsively. “So, um… Are you going to print everything I tell you? Is that how this works?”

“Look, if you want, we can conduct this entire interview off the record,” said Odelia, who sensed sales resistance. “In which case I’ll simply use whatever you tell me as background information, and your name will never be mentioned, nor will the fact that you talked to me today.
