"I was here," she said in a defensive tone.

"Can anyone verify that?" he asked.

"Yes, at least 20 of our children and Miss Lewis."

He nodded.

"Barbara, I have to ask you something very important and I need you to be honest with me."

She looked very nervous.

"Barbara," I continued, "have you been in contact with Max Dolan?"
