They knew they had all the power. Why let me walk? I can go to El Paso right now and blow the whistle on Tyler. If Dobson is there too, it’s a bonus. How could they stop me from publishing my story? They know I work for the Times and as I long as I have proof this can be published. Why aren’t they afraid?
    Who’s protecting them? That’s the golden goose. The icing on this cake.  Is it the State of Texas? The U.S. Government? Some large pharmaceutical or medical company with billions to gain?  They’re all possible suspects. That’s the fist thing you learn when investigating a crime. 
     
    Follow the money. 
    Find the money.  
    Find the answer!
     
    They want to feed me clues, because this is a twisted game to them. I may as well play along and see what’s so relevant in this Bible that Billings wants me to see to proceed. I’m checking those verses like Billings asked. Here we go.
     
    Matthew Chapter 12 Verse 43-46  
     
    43 “When an evil spirit comes out of a man, it goes through arid places seeking rest and does not find it. 44 Then it says, ‘I will return to the house I left.’ When it arrives, it finds the house unoccupied, swept clean and put in order. 45 Then it goes and takes with it seven other spirits more wicked than itself, and they go in and live there. And the final condition of that man is worse than the first. That is how it will be with this wicked generation.”
     
    Pretty wild. The final condition of the man is worse than the first. If that isn’t a mental hospital, I don’t know what is. Maybe Jesus was on to something. He was this rebel super-hero, standing up against the regime, fighting for the underdog. Let’s see what the other verse says.
     
    Luke Chapter 11 Verse 24-26
     
    24 When an evil spirit comes out of a man, it goes through arid places seeking rest and does not find it. Then it says, ‘I will return to the house I left.’ 25 When it arrives, it finds the house swept clean and put in order. 26 Then it goes and takes seven other spirits more wicked than itself, and they go in and live there. And the final condition of that man is worse than the first.
     
    Damn. It’s identical, except for the last line about this generation. That’s two different people, Matthew and Luke recording the same story in the same words over two thousand years ago. 
    That’s highly uncommon.  From my historical studies in the early part of the first century, if a scribe or historian wrote about a person or event, it was rare that you’d find two different reporters or authors write the exact same words at different times. 
    Especially, when all the other information surrounding this event is from a different perspective. They didn’t have tape recorders or video cameras to get an exact quote. People didn’t carry parchment paper around like laptops, so this is interesting coming from a historical perspective, dealing with a historical character.  I mean, these guys Matthew and Luke hung on these words. They must have had a deep impact on them. Even Julius Caesar, Caesar Augustus or Herod The Great were not quoted as accurately or as often as Jesus. The stories of Nero, Caligula and Spartacus are vintage Hollywood icons from this same era, yet their exact words are never transcribed with the accuracy and detail that went into preserving Jesus words. 
    Why are Jesus’ words the ones that stood the test of time?
    If Jesus said this and two different reporters wrote about it precisely, is there any chance it could be true?  
    I never put much stock in the Bible. I figured these were all stories like Spartacus, embellished by the church to control people to do what they wanted while they took their money and molested their children.
    But from what I read here, it looks like Jesus seriously knocked some demons or monsters out of some people, then some jackasses around him started talking smack. Jesus answered back like a press conference and gave his audience explanations. Each
