Felt  said,  "Gosh,   sheriff,   you   would  think   something irreplaceable  like  this  would be  considered  priceless.  Yet somehow it  ended up in  the trash. I  wonder why." Then it was Felt's turn to pour through the pages of the manuscript. When he saw the pages in the very  front of the document  he said, "Now that's cute.  This is like a  kind of baby book  for the Church. All the important  decisions and events are  recorded here, like this  entry  from 1931  marking  when  Klaus Hansen  became  the Apostle. Mr.  Hansen, would you  please write your  signature in the sheriff's notebook so I can see if they're the same?"

"Special Agent Felt, I  assert my Constitutional  right against self-incrimination."

"I see. Oh,  look  Gabriel,  it says  here  Doriel resigned  as Apostle, yesterday, on the very day your wife was murdered. Were you present when this entry was made?"

"Yes sir, Special Agent Felt."

"Do you remember about what time of day it was?"

"It was about eight o'clock in the AM, sir."

Sheriff Walker wrote that in his notebook.

Felt said, "Gabriel, I may need  you to testify in  court under oath to  the same effect. Now  let's see who replaced  Doriel as the  Apostle. Why  look, it's  Klaus Hansen!  And he  signed it. Gabriel, did you witness Klaus Hansen making this signature?"

"Yes sir."

"So let's back up a bit to an entry made in 1866. It says if the Prophet dies or resigns, the Apostle becomes the new Prophet. So here's Klaus Hansen as the new Apostle, with the Prophet having only an hour or two left  to live. Please Gabriel, tell me, what happened immediately after Klaus  Hansen became, once again, the Apostle of the Church."

"He had his own breakaway Church down at the bottom of the hill, with only white folk there. He said we should go meet with them and announce  the division in  the mother Church was  healed. So Paul left  with Kim,  and Klaus  took me  separately in  his own truck. But  on the way down  we got into a  heated argument over race or something like that, and he just pulled over and made me get out  before driving off. So  I walked back up  to the temple where Dory was waiting."
