Josh walked into the lobby of the motel. His father was filling the snack and candy machine. " Morning Dad".

" Morning Josh". He kept filling the machine. " How was the breakfast bible study at Flo's?".

" Great as usual". His voice hesitated. " As I was leaving, Mr Tang was coming in".

" Something about him always bothers me".

" I cleaned his room after he left". He frowned. " I noticed something strange on the dresser".

Brandon put the candy and snack box underneath the front counter. " Like what?".

" It looked like a small statue that you could worship".

" I feel strange when he's around".

" I feel strange around him too".

" Are you going to church to help them put together Sunday's bulletins?".

" I am". He hugged his dad. " Love you".

" Love you too Josh". He smiled at his son, " Say hello to Clarice".
