IIM - Seeking Silence
Allgood ventures down the street to La Iglesia de San Juan Bautista. Approaching the entrance, he can hear the sound of children's voices from within. Stepping inside, he finds that the pews on the right side of the simple, but well maintained sanctuary, are occupied by young ones, who are giving their attention to a woman with long, dark hair. Their schoolmistress, Allgood presumes.
The woman pauses the lesson and approaches Allgood, introducing herself as Valentina Perez. She confirms that Father Emiliano Narvaez is present, but outside, tending to the churchyard.
Stepping around to the back of the iglesia, Allgood finds a tall, dark haired man in a wool coat, standing over a pair of open graves, his expression serious. His collar identifies him as a member of the priesthood.
He looks up as Allgood enters the cemetery. "Good afternoon," he says in greeting.
