Blood Ties - Session 04

Characters Introduced:
Rose - Father Soto's secretary
Mrs. Fieldstone - Old church lady, has friends who noticed Lucy's wounds one time in church

Dr. Mason called Daniela to warn her that the Diocese had approved her meeting with Father Soto, but that the meeting wouldn't last long.  Leaving Brother's Pawn Violet and Daniela got soaked as they rushed to St. Teresa.  Father Soto admitted them into his office and explained that he had counciled Lucy when she came to him with strange symptoms of visions and bleeding from her palms.

Father Soto mentioned that Lucy reportedly was visited by angels or apparitions.  Lucy was confused by their appearance and seemed reluctant to even admit that they were real.  Father Soto said that Lucy didn't seem to understand what was happening to her, which he initially interpreted as childish.  In the end he admitted that Lucy's insecurity regarding the wounds and visions were more likely evidence of their validity instead of it all being a hoax that was made up for attention.  Father Soto did know where Lucy may have gone and he hadn't seen her for three days before she was reported missing.  The Diocese cut the meeting short before anything further could be learned.

During a late lunch Beth called Daniela to tell her that Phil Gardner, a report from the Chicago Tribune, was at the apartment building with a number of other new reporters who were looking for Daniela.  Beth was able to put Phil on the phone and Daniela agreed to meet with him at a laundromat called Shiny Dime, that was just a few blocks from her apartment at 7 pm later that evening.

After talking with Phil, Daniela and Violet paid a visit to an old friend of Violet's family to see if she could get any more information about Lucy.  Mrs. Stonefield proved to be mostly unhelpful but she did mention that that last time she saw Lucy she was praying at St. Teresa and left after being interrupted clutching a rosary in her gloved hands.

Next session begins outside of Mrs. Stonefield's home
