"Mayor Chesterfield is a relative newcomer to Red Road." Father Joshua reported, shrugging slightly.

"He was appointed Mayor of Red Road when the old one died...five years ago, I think. Richard was the nephew of the previous Mayor, though he spent most of his life in Baker City...he only came here to Red Road maybe two years before he became Mayor, when he married a local girl. As for what sort of man he is...a kind enough man, I suppose. He's mighty ambitious, though...if you ask me, he intends to seek higher office...or did, at least. I think he wants to impress his superiors in the Ministry of Social Order, and get a promotion to a more prestigious town. Or he did, like I said. Since this whole mess began...I'm quite sure his handlers at the Ministry of Social Order have disapproved of how he's handled things. Mayor Chesterfield shouldered the blame largely on Sheriff Cobbs in the town, but he's seen an equal amount of scrutiny from the Consul Archdeons."

At Anna other question, the priest paused, considering the matter. "Hmm...Sheriff Cobbs kept us all informed of the investigation's progress, of course. The specifics of it...I doubt he shared it with the Mayor, unless he had to. Sheriff Cobbs didn't take to how the Mayor was fostering all the blame on him for these continued attacks...the two had some shouting matches, now and again, from what I recall. He also didn't share much of his findings with me, I'll admit. He came to me for spiritual guidance more than once since this started, of course...but he kept a lot of the details to himself and his Deputy."

Father Joshua leaned back in his chair, frowning as he thought something over. "Wait...I do recall a conversation Jacob and I had, maybe a few days before he died. He asked me if I believed anyone in town was capable of being...culpable, in this grave matter. I protested the very idea, of course! To think one of my own flock could be complacent in all these murders and kidnappings...! But, he asked me to entertain the notion, all the same..."
