"Did you have any questions, James?"

James shakes his head.

"No other questions right now, thanks for your time though," he says to the aide, and proceeds to read over Dexter's shoulder.

Err, maybe that theory about aliens deserves more merit than I gave it.

He raises an eyebrow, its obvious that this wasn't what he expected.

"We should get going," he says, "Whenever you're ready."

"Right," Dexter says, trying to keep his face neutral. "Have a good one," he says to the aide. He and James head outside. "Okay, this is definitely getting creepy," Dexter says quietly. "Let's call Sakura and get back to the office." As they reach the car, Dexter gets into the back seat and says to Dan, "Well, we got the translation." He hands Dan the note from Professor Wilson.

I will assume tht everyone meets back up again at the office, if so, it is about 11 in the morning. Once you are done there we can fast forward to the evening, to the college bar, and your little surveillance operation...

Once everyone has had a chance to peruse the note, Dexter observes, "Mammon is a sort of personification of the love of wealth. In the New Testament, Jesus said you can't serve both God and Mammon. He probably meant it literally as money, but people since have personified the concept. De Plancy's 'Dictionnaire Infernal' said that Mammon was Hell's ambassador to England," He notes with a wry smile.

He sits at his desk and puts his feet up on it, clearly warming to the subject. "It's interesting, the word actually derives from the Latin mammon, whic comes from the Greek mamOnAs. That, in turn, from the Aramaic mAmonA, meaning riches, probably from Mishnaic Hebrew mAmôn. So the idea's been around a while," he says. "Anyway, I could see how some ill-informed lunatic would think sacrificing to Mammon would bring him wealth and power."

James sits behind his desk, twiddling his thumbs.

"Well, I'm under the distinct impression Selene is involved in some kinda cult activity," he says, "But I don't think it'll impact that much on our own case. As interesting as the other side may be, we're only trying to confirm whether David is involved with her."

He pauses for a moment.

"Then again, Dexter's cousin's message makes me think there may be a fair bit to this whole cult side of things. If we don't want to get dragged in we'd best be careful in how we approach it," he says, tugging at his shoulder holster for a moment.

"You're right. In fact, maybe we should go to the cops. If any of this might be involved with the Pepperdine murders, we should probably give them what we've got."

"You're right. In fact, maybe we should go to the cops. If any of this might be involved with the Pepperdine murders, we should probably give them what we've got."

Alicia listens reading her Cosmopolitan magazine, and casually glances at the mention of the cops. She shrugs, "How do we know that Selene is involved with a cult, I mean, the handwriting on the note is different from the script on it, do we even know what language this is? Eh," she shrugs, "we don't have definitive proof that she is involved with any crazy kind of cult. Besides from the way Sakura talks, and the way Dan gets that look in his eyes from the mentioning of her name, she sounds cute. Cute people never join icky cults, its always the freaks..." she jokes.

 

[barsoomcore]

"Actually, uh, that's a good point."

Dan just pretends Alicia hadn't said anything about him. It's safest.

"If there is a connection between the script and the murders, maybe we should ask Selene where she got the paper from. Could be a connection. Maybe."

Sakura has remained quite, uncharacteristically still, sitting in her seat, since she got back to the office with the Camera. She left it on the table as she stares at the wall, lost in thought. When Alicia mentions her name she gives a start, and looks at the others, "Wha.. oh, yea, she is pretty, Danny almost left a puddle of drool in best buy." she says with a distracted smirk.

"This is gonna sound kind of freakish, but on the way back from best buy, I had this vision, I know...I know... visions, pretty crazy stuff, but it was off Selene, it was at her concert tonight, somebody was gonna shoot her, they had a silinced pistol pointed at her, but I couldn't see the guys face." she says self-consciously. "I know it was probably just a day dream, but it felt real. I think we should go to the club tonight armed, most likely nothing'll happen, even if that cult thingy is real, but we can be ready just in case, just because we are investigating her is no reason to not help her if we can."

"Whoa... maybe you are psychic?" Alicia jokes, "but that is pretty freaky, what are you going to do, try and stop Selene from getting killed, I mean hypothetically if your vision is true... I mean... well okay I am a just a little wierded out now."
