CHAPTER 9

“I can’t believe I let you talk me into doing this.”

Hearing Vonnie repeat the same thing she’d said at least a dozen times already, Taylor ignored her roommate and continued to set things up. She closed the blinds, shutting out the bright sun. She wished they could have tried this at night, but it was not until two this morning that she had finally felt like she had the knowledge to proceed, and Vonnie would have killed her if she’d woken her up.

“Please don’t go through with it.”

Number fifteen on that sentence.

“You know it’s never going to work.”

Number seven gajillion and four.

Taylor placed the last heavily-incensed candle on the table beside her bed, which she had moved to the middle of their dorm room. “If you’re so sure of that, then why don’t you stop fighting with me about it and help me try?”

Vonnie’s brown eyes were narrowed with worry and with annoyance. How could she argue with that? Either Taylor’s plan would succeed, or, in Vonnie’s opinion, it would certainly fail. At least if she made the effort, Taylor could tell herself she’d given this her all.

“Come on, you know you’re dying to be able to say I told you so.”

Vonnie glared. “No, I’m dying to not watch you die!”

Oh. Taylor’s teasing died from her lips. Of course Vonnie would evaluate this from all angles, but would, in the end, be most affected by personal experience. And, honestly, fear. Vonnie—so damned smart, so incredibly strong—still had her share of nightmares. So of course those fears still lingered in the back of her oh-so-brilliant brain.

Taylor was afraid, too. Not all the time, not anymore like she had been for months after their escape from a serial killer. But she still tensed when somebody walked too closely behind her, snuck up on her, or touched her when she wasn’t expecting it.

Funny, Isaac had been the one guy who’d understood. Maybe that’s what had drawn her to him when they met. During the campus tour, she’d seen him react when someone had dropped an unexpected hand on his shoulder. It’s what had opened a conversation between them, one that had carried over into their emails long afterward. Isaac hadn’t been in the grip of a serial killer—at least not by the time they met—but he’d admitted there was abuse going on at that school of his, which had made him jumpy and nervous. That was one reason Taylor simply could not let his disappearance go. Aside from feeling a connection to him, she’d simply liked the guy. A lot.

Maybe his sister and the Extrasensory Agents would be able to find out what happened to him. But if Taylor could help—by gaining her sister’s help—she was going to do it.

“I’m not going to die. I’m not going to do a single thing to put myself at risk.”

“Oh, right, nothing except throw your soul out of your body and go on a walkabout around Savannah.”

“Thought you said it wasn’t going to work.”

Vonnie came over and took Taylor’s hands.
