money and recognition and then finally I can get my own lab, a staff, I could really move the ‘working flesh’ idea along. Then people will listen. Then they will want to read my articles. His mind begins to wonder toward the letter in his briefcase. What should I do? They are expecting an answer soon. He drives for another ten minutes then turns off the highway and onto the long tree lined winding road with the tall limestone university clock tower poking up toward the sky.

CHAPTER 7

 
 
    “It is them. They have two, maybe three of the relics. We believe they stole one from a church less than two weeks ago,” Belo says.
    “How can we be sure?” Roman asks.
    “We have our people working in the field. They were able to trace the culprit to America, somewhere in the east.”
    “Well, that certainly narrows it down.” Roman lends back in his chair.
    “In some ways it truly does. The Elite has been known to go mobile when they sense danger. They’ve been known to separate and travel in opposite directions for months at a time if need be, making them difficult to track down particularly if they know we are looking for them,” Belo says.
    “And they know this?” Jean injects.
    “Oh sure, they know. They have to know we’ve been searching for the foreskins. Those relics rightfully belong to the church,” Belo answers.
    “What do you think they will do with them, do they know about our plans?” Roman asks.
    “I don’t think they do, not unless one of us told them. They know we want them, but why is only known to us,” Belo says.
    “They are up to something I fear,” Roman says.
    “Yes, they are. They are more advanced than I thought. We believe they may have contacted a biology professor in America to perform DNA testing. The same tests we wish to perform to determine the same answer we seek,” Belo says.
    “If one of them is His?” Roman asks.
    “Yes, exactly and if they do indeed have the DNA of Christ then we must use all measures to stop them,” Belo says.
    “Perhaps we can negotiate with them, everyone has a price no?” Jean asks.
    “I’m not so confident I would trust them in any negotiations,” Belo answers.
    “They are not to be trusted EVER! Look what they have done, they have stolen the very flesh of the Savior directly from the belly of The Church!” Roman exclaims.
    “We have another option open at this time,” Belo states.
    “What is this you speak of?” Jean asks.
    “I have someone ready to go to the U.S. and locate the biology professor. We get to him before the tests are performed and tell him who he is getting involved with in the Elite . Then we convince him to work for us,” Belo says.
    “And this plan will work?” Roman asks.
    “Certainly, I believe it can. But we must move quickly. In fact our Go Man is at the airport now waiting for our call.”

CHAPTER 8

 
 
    “You seem nervous Jim, everything all right?” Glenn says standing in Jim’s office.
    “Oh, ah, no I’m fine, just tired that’s all,” Jim says while sitting down behind his desk, the lines in his face seeming a little deeper than before.
    “We waited for you down at the committee meeting, you know end of semester.”
    “Oh damn, that’s right that was today wasn’t it,” Jim says.
    “No big deal usual stuff, budget crap. I covered for you.”
    “Thanks Glenn.” Jim says rubbing his beard.
    “You’re sure you’re all right?” Glenn asks.
    “Yeah, I’m just going to grab some coffee or something.”
    “Okay, Maybe I’ll see you this weekend, I got a tee time Saturday afternoon.”
    “Yeah, maybe I’ll call you Glenn.”
    “Okay friend, get some sleep,” He strolls out of the office closing the door behind him.
    Jim buries his hands in his face wandering if his anxiety is obvious to his colleague. Rubbing his eyes he stares out the office window still trying to believe that what just occurred an hour ago did in fact happened. How the day before yesterday he finally called the
