CHAPTER FOURTEEN

CARL FELT RELIEVED ONCE HE was on the plane to New York. He was relatively sure the men who had been following him and Cassi hadn’t returned. Of course, their disappearance didn’t eliminate the possibility of another pair of eyes. That was how he would do it, if he was responsible for tailing someone. The hair rose on the back of his neck. Subtly, he moved his head back and forth, studying each of the passengers around him. No, none of these had the right-colored aura. They were mostly white, tinged with gray. The aura of a small child burned the most brightly.

The array of colors he saw in the airplane reminded him of when he had awakened in the hospital after his surfing accident. He hadn’t been able to feel his legs, and for days he’d ranted and cursed God. He refused any consolation; if he couldn’t ride the waves, he didn’t want to live at all. It took him two months before he emerged enough from the apathy to realize that the colors surrounding the doctors, nurses, and other patients in the hospital didn’t stem from damaged eyesight. Instead of being grateful, he had cursed the newfound talent when it had shown him the naked truth about his so-called “friends” in the surfing world.

With dogged determination and a heavy load of bitterness, he’d turned his back on that life and made another for himself in the world of art. He had become widely respected in several countries and extremely well-paid. But it had taken him twenty-four years, Jared’s persistence, and Cassi’s blunt comments for him to comprehend that seeing auras was a gift from God in compensation for what he had lost. Once he understood, he was grateful.

Now, if given the choice to walk and surf the waves again or to date art and see auras, he believed with his whole heart that he wouldn’t make the trade. His disability had forced him to make something of his life.

Carl closed his eyes and relaxed, but he couldn’t sleep. He pulled the papers Cassi had copied for him out of the manila envelope. A credit card belonging to Cassi’s brother fell onto his lap. Surprised, Carl checked inside the envelope, where he found another credit card and a phone card.

Oh, no. When he had given Cassi back her manila envelope in the bathroom, he had somehow given her the wrong one. I’ll have to find a way to contact her as soon as I get back. He knew she had a few hundred dollars in French money that would have to get her by until he could send more. Placing the cards in the pocket of his shirt, he settled down to examine the papers.

In New York, he went through customs easily. But on his way to the ticket desk to see how long it would be until there was an available flight to San Diego, two casually outfitted men appeared in front of him, seemingly out of nowhere.
