At the Hall of Records, you ask to look up court cases and resolutions. After you convince the clerk to let you in, he leads you back to the records room and leaves. You search for a while, finding out as much as you can on the case. You find that there was no recorded end to the case at all oddly. You also learn that Mr. Corbitt's final will was executed by a Reverend Michael Thomas, pastour of the Chapel of Contemplation, Church of our Lord Granter of Secrets. You decide to follow up this lead, and look deeper. You find the location of the church, that it was closed down in 1912, and that there were criminal actions involved with the church. You can't find the specific actions however.

"Sounds like we should go back to the library and look for a newspaper article on that church." Father Ted said after writing the important info down on a memo pad."

Frankie nodded and stood, replacing the files in their proper places. "I suppose we might find something a bit more specific in the newspapers."

"I also think we should check ou tthe church. It sounds very unusual for a church, what do you think padre?" Doc said looking at Father Ted

Frankie looked over at Marcus and thought for a moment before throwing in his two cents. "That seems like a good idea as well, although it's been closed for quite some time now, so I don't know what we will find. However, I believe we should go to the library first. The church will still be there later, while the library may close."

OOC: Just noticed you went back to your old avatar, krylo. And since it's 2:1, back to the library you go...

6:00 PM

You head back to the library, and begin your new search. After putting some time into it, you find no records, or even mentions of this church anywhere. It's as if it never existed as far as the media was concerned. The librarian comes by and asks what you are looking for now. After explaining she says, "I never heard anything about that when it happened, but if it was true, they would have to have some sort of documents of it down at the Central Police Station. They document any criminal investigations there.

OOC: Puh, he said in the dicussion he edited that out... And I know just noticed the edit in that post.

IC:

Dave went to the middle right room and opened the door.

12:30 PM (I think that's where you all were at) House Team

You enter the dining room to find yet another sparsley set room. There is a long mahogany table in the center with 7 chairs of the same wood set around it. On the table, you see a tureen, and three unused table settings. You look in the tureen to see some ancient soup rotting. There is nothing more of importance in this room.

Frankie nods and thanks the librarian before turning to his two compatriarts. "Well... this was a dead end. Why don't you two go and look at the church, I'll meet you there later... I think I'll have an easier time convincing the police to let me see their files if I go alone."

OOC: Wuss! You just don't want to run the risk of meeting some big, ugly, flesh-devouring monster...

9:00 PM

Frankie makes his way to Central Police Station. Once inside, he fast talks the clerk into thinking he is there to do a college study on the police. After the clerk lets him into the records room and leaves, Frankie gets to work. He pulls out docuemtns from the right year and begins to review them. After about an hour of searching, he comes across the proper files. There was a secret police raid on the Church, after multiple families in the neighberhood claimed that they were responsible for multiple missing children. The police struck the church at night, but the Churh members were well armed. In the ensuing battle, the church caught fire, and overall three officers were killed and seventeen cult members were eitehr burned in the house or killed in the gun battle. Oddly on recovered bodies, there seems to be little or no data on the subjects, almost as if there were no autopsies. 54 Memebers of the church were arrested, but only 8 were held and charged. Of them was the Pastor Michael Thomas. He was sentenced to 40 years in prison on five counts of murder, but he was able to escape prison in 1917 and fled the state. You learn that due to mostly illegal intervention from high, and unnamed, local officials, the story never made it to the papers and remained largely unknown to the public.
