<em>Katherine Jones --Sunday morning -- At Church</em><br/><br/>"Oh Katherine, we're so pleased that you've been helping the less fortunate," She forced a smile on her face as one of the elderly woman grabbed her hands and squeezed them. Her eyes were wide and sincere as she said firmly, "God will certainly bless you for all the long hours you've put in at the shelter. God bless you."<br/><br/>The words got stuck in Katherine's throat as she nodded and blushed, her voice hushed, "Oh it's no problem, Betty. I love helping others." She moved along to sit down in the second pew, watching her husband speaking to one of the choir singers. Casually she looked over her shoulder and did not see Viv, her sister in law.<em>Or Amethyst.</em>Her cheeks burned brightly before she forced herself to take a deep breath. This was NOT the first time she had been to the brothel. It would certainly not be the last. She just had to make sure that next time, she did NOT get her sister in law. She had thought sinful things...wrong things. She took a deep breath and began to pluck out bible verses from her mind, reciting them.<br/><br/>"Katie?" Reverend Vincent Jones looked at his wife with a fond smile. He raised his eyes and looked around the sanctuary before he frowned slightly, "Vivienne isn't here. I wonder if she's sick. Or maybe Jayden?" He looked at his watch and sighed lightly, "Maybe we can pass by her house after church and invite her to brunch?"<br/><br/>"Of course," Katherine's voice was faint as she nodded in agreement with her husband. She ignored the way her heartbeat picked up or the way her mind reminded her of where she had seen her sister in law the night before. "I'll send her a text message before service starts."<br/><br/>His smile widen as he pressed a kiss to the top of her head, "That's my lovely wife. Dutiful and always ready to help me." As her husband turned and made his way back to the podium, Katherine slipped out her phone and with shaky fingers sent a text message to Viv.<em>"Vince and I would like to invite you to brunch after service. Sorry we missed you at church. Love, Katie."</em>She hit send and slipped her phone in her pocket so that she could feel it when it vibrated.<br/><br/>As the choir began to sing and the congregation stood up to sing their first hymn, she looked around the church to see if she had seen anyone from the night before. She did a quick scan but she didn't think she saw any of them.
