Chapter 7

The alarm sounded again, and this time, Molly didn’t hit the snooze button. Though she had been out late with Spencer the night before, she wanted to get up and head to his church.

She hadn’t gotten anyone to talk about Spencer’s job, partially because most of his friends repeated the same mantra: “Spencer’s a great public defender. He cares about his clients and works hard to help them.” The other part was that she hadn’t spent as much time as she should have digging into his career.

The voicemail from her boss demanding an update jolted Molly back to reality. She couldn’t neglect her duties as a reporter just because she cared for the subject of her assignment. As a matter of fact, she needed to keep a clear head and not allow a bias to form.

Church was the next step, or rather, watching Spencer at church. She could also ask his friends from church a few questions, which would hopefully help guide her future choices for the investigation.

Molly arrived at Crystal Cove Fellowship, one of only three churches in the whole town. It was also the church Molly had gone to until she moved away her senior year, and the church her parents still attended. They had been surprised when she told them she would meet them there for the second service if they were willing to let her borrow one of the cars. She had conveniently left out the fact that it was simply to find out more about Spencer for her investigation.

As she stepped through the doors, she wasn’t sure what to expect. She hadn’t gotten a chance to say goodbye to anyone before she left, her parents insisting it would be easier that way. What would they think now that she had returned?

Molly didn’t recognize the first several people she encountered, though she wasn’t surprised. It had been ten years since the last time she had been there.

As she approached the doors to the sanctuary, she heard Sarah say, “Hey there, Molly.”

She turned to find her friend approaching. Sarah greeted her with a warm smile. “I’m glad you came today.”

“Thanks. It seems like this place hasn’t changed much,” Molly observed, glancing around the church, noting the only differences were a few modern pictures and new paint job.

“Not on the surface, but Pastor Joseph retired four years ago. A new pastor took over, Pastor Matt. He has really brought in a younger crowd, adding life into the church. I think you’ll enjoy his sermon today.”

Molly was surprised to hear there was a new pastor. Part of her hoped Sarah was right and she would enjoy the service. Nothing was worse than sitting through a scare-tactic lecture about hellfire and sin.

“I need to head in and find my parents,” Molly explained. “I’ll catch up with you later.”

Sarah nodded as Molly pushed through the doors and headed into the sanctuary. On the other side, she not only found her parents, but Spencer as well. They were standing together talking as she approached them.
