32 Missing Atticus

"Strange, Deacon Frantz oversleep."

Owen's team was at the Chapel. The Chapel was already full of villagers, waiting for the mass to start.

"It's almost 9," Easton added while glancing at the wall clock pinned above the main entrance of the Chapel, "He's usually up at exactly 5AM."

The altar had been prepared. The weekly mass should have started by 8AM in the morning, but it looked like the Deacon was late.

"What about that Atticus guy?" Owen asked.

Easton shrugged, "I haven't seen him since I woke up."

They were at the South transept outside the Chapel, waiting for the Deacon to arrive.

"Should we go and check on his room?" Easton suggested, glancing at the villagers who were starting to ask questions to each other as to when the mass would start.

"Captain, where's Deacon Frantz? The villagers are starting to get impatient."

Abel and Molly arrived, immediately asking for the Deacon.
