Chapter Eighteen

Wade

As soon as Jimbo lit the sage, a ripple ran through the spirit. She didn’t react as though she was in pain, but it was very apparent it had affected her. Jimbo glanced at me, his brow starting to sweat with the exertion it took to hold back the beacon he held power over. When he’d opened it up in the basement in Old Sacramento, it had looked like a bright spotlight. And every spirit within miles had been drawn to it. But we didn’t want to draw spirits.

“Jimbo, I know you can do it. Dial it open just enough for people who are connected to her to see. They’ll see it before any other spirits do. As long as you keep it dialed down everything will be okay.”

He shook his head and after taking Dean’s hand, he closed his eyes. We all watched as his breathing became faster and more frantic. It was as though he was running a race, but he was standing right in front of us. The physical strength it took to restrain his power was something very few people would ever realize or understand.

The power burst out of him, but not without control. It pulsed, and the bright white light that shone out of his chest was nearly blinding in its intensity. I glanced at Jason and even though I knew neither him nor Dean could see it, I had to force myself not to shield my eyes.

“Do you see your loved ones?” I asked the spirit. Her gaze was focused behind Jimbo. The part of the veil I couldn’t see, but I now knew without a doubt was there.

“I didn’t mean to hurt anyone. But they hurt me, and I couldn’t remember who I was anymore.”

“Now you have a chance at a new existence with everyone who meant something to you. You won’t have to be alone anymore.”

“I’ll go, after all this time all I want is peace. Please, tell the man who saw me he doesn’t have to worry anymore. I’ll be free now.”

She walked toward the edge of the room and crossed through to the veil. As soon as she was gone, the beacon closed the pathway behind her. I was so focused on her I almost didn’t notice when Jimbo collapsed.

“James,” Dean shouted, as he hit the floor.

Jason and I rushed to his side. Jimbo was exhausted. Sweat ran down his face and soaked his shirt. But he was okay.

“Jimbo, you did it.”

He turned and met my eyes. Through the sweat and his breaths that came so fast—the exertion from controlling his beacon was easy to see—he smiled. Probably the first real smile I’d seen from Jimbo other than when he was smiling at my mom or Dean.

“I did it. I wasn’t sure it would work but it did. I used my beacon to guide her to the other side of the veil. And I didn’t let any of the other spirits follow it. Janis was right. I can control it.
