Quinn’s sleep was fitful and broken, and when morning came, he would have given his world for a coffee IV. It was too late for breakfast in the hotel restaurant, so he ordered room service and waited for an early lunch to arrive.

Today was Sunday, and it was a day dedicated to interviews and research. The team would conduct the interviews, and then Tyler would head off to comb through the location’s history. That sort of thing was Tyler’s star gig, and normally Brent would go with him to film his information-gathering. Quinn wasn’t sure if things were different now that they had the network’s cameramen on hand. Maybe those guys would be filming, and Brent would have to learn a new skill.

A soft knock on his door gave his empty stomach something to hope for, and he went to let room service in. To his surprise, it was Emma, not a hotel employee, who was standing in the hallway outside his room.

They stared at one another for a moment, then she said, “Can I come in?”

“Uh… of course. Yeah.” He stepped aside for her, then closed the door once she was inside. “How are you feeling?”

“Perfectly okay,” she answered. “How about you? I heard about your aunt. I’m sorry.”

He couldn’t suppress the bitterness in his voice. “Yeah, well… I’ll bet you weren’t surprised at all.”

“I didn’t realize she was so recently dead. If I’d known, I wouldn’t have said anything. Hearing it from a medium is a shitty way to find out that someone you love is gone.”

“Yeah, it was shitty,” he agreed. “This whole situation is shitty.”

She crossed her arms. “For all of us. I didn’t ask to be forced on you, Quinn, and I’m really getting sick of your attitude. I have done nothing wrong, and I’ve done nothing to hurt you.”

“No, but other psychics have.”

“Well, I’m not them.”

“You might as well be. Same schtick.”

They stared at one another, and she turned away. “Look, I came here to be nice, to offer my condolences, but if you’re…”

She started to walk toward the door, her face red with anger. For reasons he couldn’t fathom, he didn’t want her to leave that way, and he knew he was being a jerk.

“Emma,” he interrupted. “I’m sorry. You’re right.”

She stared at him as if she hadn’t heard him, but finally she said, “I’m really sorry about your aunt, honestly, but at least now you know I’m not a fake. Can you please drop this hatred?”

He ran a hand over his head, then cupped the back of his neck. He could feel a tension headache starting to take hold. “I can only promise to try.”

Quinn sat on the bed, and after a moment’s hesitation, Emma sat beside him. “I know that there are people out there who prey on the weak and the grieving,” she told him carefully. “I don’t know who in your family was lost, or who was preyed upon, but I can sense that it’s very close to you and very personal.
