Chapter 11

Cassie and April watched Jacob go. April turned to Cassie and opened her mouth to speak, but no words came. Cassie put her arm around April’s shoulders.

April brushed away the tears on her face with the back of her hand. “Jesus, Mary and Joseph.”

“You can say that again. I guess Jacob can’t deny Kathleen any longer since she spoke directly to him. No wonder he rushed out of here.”

“Where is Shamus?” April turned around in a circle.

“There he is on Sister Mary Lambert’s grave again.”

“Wish you could talk, Shamus.” April attached the dog lead to his collar.

Shamus looked up at her and whined as if to say he was trying to talk to them.

“We better get out of here, April. Let’s go back and turn on the recorder and walk around and see what we pick up tonight.”

“We best wait for a little while to make sure no staff or workers are roaming about. There are a few staff who do still come to the library and archives now and then. The library section is very good, better than the library in the new wing. Never know who will show up there.”

“Oh, I guess you’re right. It might be hard to explain what we were doing walking around with recorders. Not to change the subject, but I wonder what Jacob is thinking?”

“I’ll bet he is feeling terrible about not believing his wife.”

“Oh April, you’re right. I feel bad about being so hard on him before.”

“It’s not your fault, Cassie. You told the truth is all. It was up to him to believe it or not.”

“Still, I hate to see him in pain.”

“Ah, you like him then… I mean you more than like him.”

“Oh wow, are you kidding me? More than liking him, as you put it, is the worst thing I could do. We are worse than Romeo and Juliet. We are doomed to fail. No relationship could survive all we have going against us.”

“Love conquers all, Cassie, or don’t you believe that?”

“No, I don’t believe it, and I’m not even sure I want a relationship. I just got out of one, remember?”

“I know, but…”

“Give it up, April, Miss Romantic. Change of subject.”

They reached the building and climbed the stairs to Cassie’s room, both glancing at the shadows in the gloomy hall.

Cassie unlocked her door, and April and Shamus followed her inside. “I’ll get the professor’s case and we will see if we can operate this equipment while we are waiting out the roving staff and workers.”

They put the case on Cassie’s bed, and were happy to see it was a simple machine to operate, as the professor promised. There was an off and on switch, a volume control, and record and pause buttons.

“Where do we start, across in Lydia’s room?”

“Oh Cassie, I’m not sure we should.”

Cassie played around with the volume control button on the recorder. “I have no idea what level of volume we need. Let’s test it.”

“Okay, ready set, turn it up on high and see if it picks me up from the hall.
