There wasn’t a clear and defined path that Sam followed, but he had the screen shot of the aerial view of the island, and a general idea of where the church was. He had been there the night prior, but had used the basement tunnel access. The rain pattered down on umbrellas and jackets. Anyone not protecting themselves from the rain soon became uncomfortably wet. Though reaching the grove of trees that separated the house from the old monastery and graveyard reduced the rain some. Eventually the group made it through the grove of trees and found themselves in the graveyard. Old decrepit stones marked grave sites. Most of the markers were unreadable. Whoever had been buried here was long lost to time. It was not obviously clear if any of the La Lunes were buried here. Ralph had also been at the old church the previous night. However, during the daylight, and without lightning and thunder it was a more serene place. Ralph, the previous night, had been a little freaked out by the whole situation. Seeing it in the daylight though made him less scared. He did wonder why Sam had brought them here. [color=dae8c1]”I suppose this is as good as any other place to chat.”[/color] The church didn’t provide much cover from the rain, parts of it were long collapsed and even longer burned away. Ralph looked at Tony and Constance, pressed against each other, interesting. [color=dae8c1]”It was your idea for us all to chat. I agree it is a good idea. Rihanna and I learned some interesting things I think we should all talk about. First, though, I think we need to establish something important. I think Millicent’s bad vibes yesterday were on point. Something really weird is going on here. I for one am not involved in any of it, but it is a problem for me, just as much as I suspect it is for all of you. Whatever the award may be for or about isn’t as important as the stuff going on behind the curtain. I think we might all be in danger. Someone is trying to blackmail us. If you claim you’re not being blackmailed I am going to assume you’re in on it.”[/color] Sam had been vague, but he had had a note. As long as everyone had a note and something resembling blackmail as far as Ralph was concerned they weren’t involved. There was a chance that wasn’t true, that whoever from the Château was involved had a second party among the nominees, but if that was true they as a whole group were doomed. Ralph had decided he was going to trust the other nominees at least this far. [color=dae8c1]”I’m not going to force anyone to admit what they are being blackmailed about, but at least tell us that you are being blackmailed. That you got a note among the welcome papers when we arrived.”[/color] He looked at everyone in the group and waited.
