"It's nice to meet you, Malia, I hope that we can have a fruitful relationship." Ben raised his hand in greeting.
"I'm sure, but I have a quick question," Malia said ignoring the gesture
"Sure, I'm an open book, ask me anything."
"Where were you ordained?" she asked with a critical eye
"Ordained?" Ben asked in confusion
"Yes, ordained."
"I was ordained in Japan."
"Really?"
"Yes, I was, why do you ask?"
"Because just from where I'm standing and sensing from you, you're lying to me, " Malia deduced with a poker face that impressed even him
"I don't know what you are assuming, Malia, but I can assure you that I'm a pastor that is only concerned about the welfare of the flock,"
"Only time will tell, but I warn you, if I catch you leading my brothers and sisters astray, God himself will have to keep me from getting your hide,"
Pretending to sigh with patience when in actuality, he wanted to roll his eyes at her, Ben asked: "How can I prove to you that I'm not here to deceive?"
"Easy, get ready for Sunday, you've got a sermon to preach," Malia said with an attitude.
"What, but I just got here, "
"Don't worry; it's just Friday today. I'm sure that you'll be ready before then, " she said with a smile while getting her car keys.
Oh crap, I need to find that deed, fast!" Ben thought with panic as his situation began to officially sink in.
