Early in the morning, Martin drove away from the Clayton Community and arrived at the parking lot near Highway 265. Within less than ten minutes, Buckley had driven over.
When the two cars were parked together, Buckley got out and handed the bag to Martin, "Everything is inside."
Martin opened the bag, and inside were a voice recorder, camera, press card, and interview permit. He took out an envelope and stuffed it into Buckley's hands.
Buckley quickly counted the money, and with a satisfied smile,
Martin said, "Wait for my phone call."
"No problem, no rush." Buckley was somewhat concerned and gently reminded him, "You won't be doing anything illegal, right?"
Martin replied, "I'm a civilized person, I'll just be using your newspaper's name to attend the Methodist Association's press conference."
Buckley nodded, got back into his car, and left. On second thought, he felt something was amiss.
