From the Journal of Caleb Michael Smith

Being a member of The Association has its benefits. Among many others is the ability to access huge amounts of information from sources not available to the common man. Today I took advantage of some of the resources at my disposal and was able to finagle a satellite photograph of the area where the man was killed in his car in the Negev Desert. I wrote last night that The Order is sick, evil, twisted in a way that is truly hard to wrap one’s head around. They are to the Schutzstaffel what the Schutzstaffel is to your average nursery-school class. However, like the SS, they are efficient and wildly attentive to detail. The dead man in the car was killed when he stopped to assist a man and a little girl in a part of the desert where they should never have been. This is the first clue; the dead man had lost, in the past year, his brother and his niece, both about the same age as the man and girl appeared to be. Seeing the odd pair in the desert set off a strong reaction in the man so he stopped. Second clue; the spot where the man was killed is right over an here-to-for unknown ancient temple dedicated to a demon-god whose name I have not yet deciphered, but Josh and I are working on it.
Third clue; the day it happened is the day of celebration of sacrifice for some pre-Columbian cultures. The connection looks, at first blush, to be a tenuous one, but I guarantee that the day was chosen for this reason……still waiting on results from Harry’s lab.
