[Tiffany, of course, makes a point of visiting the chapel every Sunday morning, but she also drops by every few days besides that as well. Today, she'd noticed something was amiss the moment she'd walked into the room: it smells funny (like there'd been a fire, she thought), it's dustier than usual, and there's a large sunken stain on the floor.

She is very displeased about this, and becomes doubly so when she finds Dillon's broken rosary on the floor.]

Hey.

[She's filming herself sitting on one of the newly-shortened pews, looking sternly at the camera.]

The fuck happened in here? Where's Dillon? This is his.

[She holds up the rosary, dangling it from her fingers.]

Somebody kill him? Were y'all fighting in the chapel?

I don't got an anger parasite in me, but if someone hurt Dillon, when he just woke up, you got me to deal with, you hear? You don't fight in God's house, and you don't hurt my friends in here, either.

Fuckers.

[And with that, she cuts the feed. She'll be in the chapel for a while, first looking around for clues and then sitting and praying.]

[Hours later, after her conversation with Jean, she adds a short addition to her post.]

[withtheoldbreed]

Of course, miss.

[tucky]

Tiffany.

Tell me if he's not there too, all right? I don't wanna be wondering.

[withtheoldbreed]

I will. Lemme know if anything else turns up.

[tucky]

Yeah.

I don't wanna let people get away with this.

[withtheoldbreed]

No one does, miss. No one half decent, anyway.

[tucky]

Even if he's okay, something happened to him in the chapel. That ain't right, especially for him.

[withtheoldbreed]

I know. We'll find out what happened.

[tucky]

Are you an inmate or a warden?

[withtheoldbreed]

Warden. Jimmy's my inmate.

[tucky]

I'm sorry I swore at you, then.

[withtheoldbreed]

You don't have to apologize, miss.

1/2

[tucky]

Okay.

[tucky]

[And then, a bit later:]

He's dead, I think. That patch on the floor? I think he got burned up there.

[withtheoldbreed]

[Gene manages not to say "I figured."]

He's not in the infirmary. I'll go check his room.

[tucky]

If he's not dead, he's really badly hurt. Or--

[Suddenly, she thinks of the other option: that Dillon's rosary was there not because he was the victim, but because he was the attacker.]

-- You seen him lately?

[withtheoldbreed]

Not for a while, no.

[tucky]

Those things he was pulling out of people-- you think they could go in him when he was doing that?

[withtheoldbreed]

I don't know. We don't have anything like that we're I'm from.

[Which people have tried to argue with him, but. He's pretty sure.]

[tucky]

He could've killed someone else, is what I'm saying. Maybe it was him.

[withtheoldbreed]

He wouldn't've done it on purpose. Is anyone else missing?

[tucky]

I don't know.

He would've done it on purpose if he got infected, maybe.

[withtheoldbreed]

I don't know. I guess we've gotta start askin' around.

[tucky]

I will.

You look like him, you know.

[withtheoldbreed]

I know.

[And he forces something that's supposed to be a smile, but he's still too shaken up to make it genuine.]

But I guess I'm old enough to be his grandfather.

[tucky]

You from the past or something?
