Part 24
He expected to see pews, an altar at the back with candles and an cross on the wall. But instead he stepped into a large room with a dirt floor and walls and a ceiling that were painted black. Although Adam could see no light source the room was well lit. Along the sides there were tables and chairs. People had gathered around the various tables, some sitting, some standing, in quiet conversation.

“Is it?”
“Yes Sir’
Just at that moment the sour faced stranger at the front door came and sat with them.
“This is Jules Isko” said Al. “He’s also on your list.”
Adam and Jules stared at each other for a moment. Finally Jules said “The ram and the unicorn will not appear tonight.”
“Is that some kind of password?” asked Adam.
