Clarice entered the motel's lobby. She noticed Josh's dad was vacuuming. " Hi Mr Marcotte".

Brandon turned off the vacuum. " Hi Clarice". He put the vacuum away. " Thank you for agreeing to help me around the motel".

" Your welcome".

Brandon began to study the motel's financial ledger. " Where's Josh?".

" He wanted to talk to Pastor Winters". Her voice hesitated. " Mr Tang gave me a ride back".

" Something about him gives me the chills".

" What do you mean?". She gave him a shocked look. " He's a nice man who cares about people".

" How do you know that?".

" He healed me". She showed him her elbow and arm. " He touched them and they were healed".

" How do you know he healed you?".

" I could barely lift them". She nervously played with her hair. " And now I can".

They heard the front door open.

" Good afternoon Mr Marcotte and Clarice".
