Azrael was silent the whole time. Han felt small talks and jokes were either beyond him, or he didnâ€™t showcase his amusement. The Bishop acted just like he expected him to â€“ ever-surly. Han shredded the â€˜jovialâ€™ mood and went down straight to business.<br/><br/>â€œThe letter was sent from a post office in Iowa. We sent a couple of Deacons to investigate. None of them came back. One of them was found exactly 6 hours before, wrapped in black sheet, neck broken, floating around in the Crabtree Lake.â€<br/><br/>Han paused, taking another sip. Azraelâ€™s interest was piqued, evident by his glistening eyeballs, faint ridges across his forehead - all the telltale signs of rapt attention. Han knew Lobo was listening to every word heâ€™s saying and making mental notes. He didnâ€™t express much, but he was the most trusting with information. Han continued.<br/><br/>â€œRight after we discovered the body, the personal number of Padre rang. Blocked call, voice masked. He said he is the Messenger of God and that God apparently is furious that the flock that he chose is so lacking in faith. He said the loss of life was merely a sign of Godâ€™s discontent. He â€˜advisedâ€™ us not to commit any such indiscretions in the best interest of the flock. Saying he will be in touch, he cut the call without any further comment.â€<br/><br/>Draining the whole cup with a huge sip, Han went on, in a more hurried pace.<br/><br/>â€œThe call was traced by our tech people.

This is where you come in.â€<br/><br/>â€œHow?â€ Azrael asked.<br/><br/>â€œIn a minute.â€ Han turned to Lobo.<br/><br/>â€œForget our general recruitment procedure. I suggest youâ€™ve looked at the current batch of Fresher in our seminary. Who is the most promising?â€
