"They're upstairs. I'll get Milly to get them."

The Dean waited in the office that was now converted into a bar for the other members of the board to come down. He had decided to tell them about Corman. He didn't think it was any big deal but he felt they had a right to know. Anyway, another plan was forming in his mind. He was going to fix Reverend Uptight and fix him good. He'd make sure that the bastard kept his nose in the Bible where it belonged, not in the lives of others. God, he couldn't see what the sense of having a chaplain was anyway. No one at the school was religious in any way in fact, they were more atheistic if anything. It was really just for form's sake that they had anyone and up to this minister they had all taken a back seat and kept their noses out of school business. It was up to Lowell to make sure that he did. He was not about to change his life for this jerk's misguided morals.

"Hey guys," Lowell greeted Mitch Bryant and Dave Hudson as the two men strolled into the bar. Both men were in their fifties and exuded a cool demeanor that suggested power.

"What's up, Bill?" Dave said.

"I hope nothing, yet," the dean said. "We could have a little problem though with that new chaplain we have over at Craven. It seems some anonymous caller… probably some asshole who didn't get his rocks off… told him about our little happenings up here and he's all gung-ho to do an investigation of some sort."

"Christ, there's always some do-gooder throwing a monkey wrench in the works," Mitch muttered.

"Maybe not," Lowell paused here for effect. "Maybe we're going to throw the first monkey wrench."

"What are you talking about?" Dave asked.

"On occasion my wife speaks to me and I've decided to enlist her aid in my little plot." The two men snickered at Lowell's comment about his wife for Arlene's exploits were well known in the small town. "Arlene doesn't know it yet but she's going to seduce the reverend's wife and he's going to watch the whole thing. He'll be our invited guest. With a bit of luck we can get his daughter up here too."
