Chapter Fourteen

Etta believed in the sanctity of the doctor-patient privilege and until now had never willingly broken it. But tonight, she couldn’t sleep, and she had to talk to someone. So, she shook Jasper and woke him.

“What’s wrong?” He was fully awake at first touch.

“I need to talk.”

“Okay, baby, snuggle over and let me hold you.”

She did and once she was in his arms, she felt a little better. “What do you need to talk about?”

“Deacon. Well, Deacon and Wiley and their past.”

“Okay.”

“I’m not sure where to start. This goes against the code, JJ. Today, Mathias and Brody took me to meet with someone. A woman Mason knew back when he was a spy. She was his partner once. And his lover.

“Something happened. Something bad. She and a man, a Mossad agent—they were captured. He died. This woman was already fractured because of things that happened to her as a child. Her father and mother split up. Her father was rarely home and when he was, he and the mother did little but fight.

“As the woman tells it, her mother started an affair with her Uncle. The father’s brother. The father came home and found them together and it all went south. Dad left, Uncle left, and mom turned into a drunk who eventually remarried, and the new husband made a habit of raping the daughter.”

“That’s one fucked up story, babe.”

“Yeah, and it gets worse. This girl—she developed an alternate personality, one who was strong and fearless, and that personality took control and ran away. In time she changed her name, went to college and was recruited by the CIA.

“When she was captured, a third personality was born- one who had no memories of the past—not of the original personality or the dominant one who had taken control and become a spy.

“And so, she survived, escaped and then was found and brought home where she underwent a lot of interrogation, including drugs. She escaped the facility and ended up here.”

“Here? As in Cotton Creek?”

“As in on this facility. The mystery woman who runs the obstacle course.”

“Are you serious?”

“I am. She and Brody became involved. And moreover, she became friends with Mathias. JJ, she healed Mathias.”

“What do you mean healed?”

“I mean she took it away. All the guilt and anxiety, the self-loathing. She took it from him, he said. Took it into herself and then banished it.”

“Is that even possible?”

“It must be. I’ve heard about healers like her but have never met one.”

“And today you did?”

“I did. I went to Brody’s house where she’s hiding, and I talked with her. And she asked for my help.”

“What kind of help?”

“To get rid of the extra personalities and to reunite her with her family.”

“How are you supposed to do that? You don’t know them. Do you?”

Etta found it difficult to speak those next few words. “It’s Deacon. She’s Deacon’s daughter.”

JJ was silent for a few minutes. “Holy fuck,” he whispered.

“Yeah, tell me about it.”

“What’re you going to do?”

“Arrange a meeting and hope like hell this doesn’t blow up in my face.
