Summary

Jennlynn returns back at Lambdatron, since the media frenzy has largely died.

Leroy describes his investigation into Kwame:

• his congregation shrunk to a core of mostly older members;
• his income seems to have been reduced as well;
• he maintains a somewhat clandestine affair with a white woman, Myrna Frederick, who is known to be free with her favors, though not for any compensation;
• 2-3 years prior he had an affair with another white woman, Vivian Hammerstrom, who vanished under mysterious circumstances.

Jon and Tanisha, after a bit of short-hand discussion, plan to stage a controlled meeting with Kwame to let him know that Tanisha is well guarded. Jim Bricklin is confident that appropriate security can be arranged for such a meeting.
