Cult Killers: Dark Crime Fiction Chapter Two

Chapter Two Smartphone rang. It was Jason in the newsroom. Adam gave him a condensed version of the twenty minutes he spent with Chief Doolan, and learned that while he was in there getting nothing, the TV station, had finally picked up the story and splashed it on their website, right under the story about the St.Isidore Antique Festival.
