Alex is coerced by an FBI agent to search a computer in a nobody's-home house, only to be interrupted by the cut-the-guy's-heart-out Elfy Cane, who kidnaps him.  Just great.

Episode 3, Chapters 7 thru 9

Ninety percent of the federal laws, resolutions, and appropriations pass or fail in the U. S.  Congress by a handful of votes.  When Alexander Judd stumbles upon the possibility of collusion in these votes,  and sets out to investigate it, he quickly finds himself kidnapped by a trash-talking Elfy Cane.  Who is wanted for murder.  Cut the guy's heart out.  Then, linked to Elfy by association, Alex finds the police are now after him.  What more could a slightly out-of-shape widower ask?  Well, falling in love with her wasn't one of them.  Nor was having her fall into the clutches of the shadowy Church of the Dark Light, a secret coven meeting in the great building atop Jenkins Heights.  Known today as Capitol Hill.
