Chapter 38
After Gunn returned from Sarah's group he was worried about being followed. He was probably being paranoid, but didn't want to take stupid chances. He listened to the Imam's lecture, let this kind old man believe the worst. Gunn returned to the shelter on sunday evening, waited until tuesday morning to talk to detective Kate Lockley.
Gunn: Sorry I'm late, had to make sure I wasn't being followed.
Kate: Fair enough. What are they planning?
Gunn: Something big, I don't know specifics.
Kate: How many?
Gunn: Roughly fourty at the compound. I don't know how many will go throught with the attack.
Kate: You never know until you're faced with the situation. We know more about Sarah now. Her father was a fundamentalist preacher who ranted about the end of the world. Abraham was killed four years ago while trying to buy illegal assault weapons. Abraham fathered at least three children by three different female followers, Sarah, Nancy, and Michael. Michael became the satanic preacher who killed Marcie Ross. Suffice it to say Sarah's childhood was far from ideal and may have included forced incest with her father and/or brother.
Gunn: And yet she still wants to bring about her father's vision. Somehow they think Wilkins is the anti-christ. They might be planning to assasinate him.
Kate: I'd have to check but I think Wilkins is campaigning in California next week. Thank you for your help by the way.
Gunn: I don't like the Imperialist crusader government. But my Imam is right, there's no excuse for the killing of innocents.
