The Policeman and the Prophet - Day 42

Father Bill looked at Frank and lifted one eyebrow.
“Have you two got time for me to get Gibbs?” asked Frank.
Bill and Lynn nodded. Frank picked up his cell phone, phoned the three five and told Gibbs where they were. In less than four minutes they heard a police siren. A few seconds later, Gibbs walked in and joined them.
“You used the siren?” asked Frank.
“You said to hurry,” replied Gibbs with a deadpan expression.
The three of them sat in the booth and repeated what Lynn had said to Detective Logan.
“So they telephone after they’ve healed somebody?” asked Gibbs.
“What do they do if they can’t get in touch with the person?”
“They send a letter that basically says the same thing that’s said in the phone conversation.”
“You said there was a follow-up telephone call. Is there a follow-up letter?”
“Oh yes.”
“I would give my right nu. . . arm for a copy of one of those letters,” said Gibbs.
Lynn reached into her pocketbook and pulled out a file. “Would this help?” she asked as she handed the file to Gibbs.
Gibbs flipped through the file, stopping momentarily to glance at each page. “I can’t believe this,” he said. “I can’t believe it.”
“What is it?” asked Frank.
