“WHERE’S THE WOMAN you were talking to?” Sam asked.

“Who is she? And who the hell are you?”

All good questions. Max took his time sitting down at the large oak table in the kitchen. He’d taken a minute to pump Linc for information, so he was aware that all the armchair detectives knew Neely had at least the potential of becoming a psychic time traveler. They’d gotten that much from her grandmother, and they’d deduced that she’d finally discovered and was using her power. The question was how much more could he expect a street-smart cop to buy into?

Sam leaned against the table and crossed his arms, establishing himself as the interrogator and Max as the suspect.

Max knew he was taking a risk telling anyone in 2008 who he really was, and he sure as hell hadn’t run it past Deirdre before she left. But time was running out for Neely, and he needed to use every means he could to protect her. “Neely didn’t tell you who I was?”

“Neely claims you’re some kind of private eye chasing the Ripper. I’m not leaving until I get some straight answers. And don’t give me some crap about her letting you in the back door. She’s led a sheltered life, she’s too trusting, but she’s not stupid.”

“I agree with you one hundred percent on all counts. And you’re right. She didn’t let me in the back door or the front door.”

Max took out his wallet, opened it and pushed it across the table. “The woman I was talking to is Deirdre Mason. She’s my boss at Trans Global Security.”

Sam glanced at the ID, then back at Max. “Never heard of it.”

Max decided to go for broke. “My presence in this house has to do with the fact that Neely has the ability to psychically travel back in time.”

Sam said nothing for a moment, and Max could read neither surprise nor disbelief on his face.

“She told you about that?” Sam finally asked.

Answer a question with a question. It was a standard strategy that security agents, himself included, still used. Some things hadn’t changed much over time.

“You already knew about her ability?”

“Mabel claims Neely can travel through time. Before she passed away, her grandmother told Sally and me about her own abilities, and she made us all promise to look out for Neely if she became aware of hers. Neely’s a bit of an idealist. Cornelia was worried that Neely might consider taking a more active role in the past. How do you know about her ability? Did she tell you?”

“She showed me. Last night when I was sitting on the stoop across the street, she took a trip back to Buck’s Row, London, 1888, and she pulled me with her. Being taken along for the ride like that has never happened to me before. I usually operate under my own steam.”

Sam’s eyes narrowed. “You’re saying that you can travel through time, too.”

“Yes. But, as I said, she pulled me along last night to London and back.
