Caiaphas grinned. " He attacked the temple merchants". He sighed. " Someday, he could attack you".

" Ok, I will arrest him on suspicion of treason". He turned and began to walk toward Caiaphas. " But if there is no evidence against him I will let him go".

" Thank you Procurator".

" Do you know where this rabble rouser carpenter is going to be?".

" Yes".

" Good". He clapped his hands in joy. " I will send my centurion Flavius Artemis and some of my best soldiers to help".
