by Don Massenzio

Judge Stuart Jameson was a familiar name to Jonesy. His eidetic memory recalled the name from the board membership of one of the holding companies in the Christianity Today ownership hierarchy. He also knew that Travis Bullock, III, his new highly placed acquaintance in Tallahassee, was once a law clerk to his honor. Instead of spending Monday morning researching the judge, Jonesy thought he might save time by going directly to Bullock. Jonesy called the private cell phone number that the Florida Deputy Attorney General had given him. The familiar voice answered after the third ring.

  "Mr. Jones."

  "Jonesy, please."

  "OK, Jonesy. What can I do for you on this early Monday morning?"

  "Sorry to bother you, but I wanted to bring you up to speed and see if you have some information that can help us out."

  "I'll do my best."

  Jonesy recounted his and Frank's Sunday adventures. He finished with Pastor Worthington's revelation that he had told Jameson what had occurred between Maggie and the seminary student.

  "Mom and Dad would have been disappointed, but they would have supported Maggie to the ends of the Earth. They have been that way with all of us. Dad told me about her call. She's a smart girl and I think Dad interpreted her message correctly."

  "What's your take on the involvement of Jameson?"

  "I became a law clerk to Jameson based on a recommendation from his very close friend, Stanton Cobb."

  Once again, all roads led to Cobb, Jonesy thought to himself.

  "The judge was very active in the First Baptist Church hierarchy. He served on their council of elders when the incident with Bobby took place."

  "So he must have moved to Christianity Today when your parents did. This is extremely helpful. It appears that Mr. Cobb might have more than a circumstantial connection here. We just need to figure out what that connection is."

  "Keep me posted and let me know if you need more information. I'm in meetings all day, but will return your call during a break."

  "Thanks again Travis."
