H stepped out of the testing room and slammed into a wake of waspish worry. His barriers faltered momentarily before he got them back in place. Cautiously, he headed toward the waiting area, wishing he had a receptionist to deal with the latest onslaught of surprise visitors.

A blonde beauty with a flaming red streak of hair dominated the spacious waiting area. Class surrounded her and reached far deeper than her elegant slacks and silk blouse. Her gaze sought his with laser-point accuracy.

“Dr. H?”

“Yes.”

“I’m Kami Evans.” She moved forward with her hand extended. “My friend needs your help.”

He squeezed her hand politely and then released her. It wasn’t often people dropped in asking for help or handouts or looking for proof of alternate realities, and this woman seemed sane enough, but he gave her the same answer he gave everyone else. “I don’t believe I’m in the business of whatever it is you’re here for.”

“Then you better get into it.” She jutted her chin forward arrogantly and arched a refined brow. “I don’t know what you did to Ava, but she’s hurting. She says you’re the only one who can help her.”

“Ava?” His heart plummeted like a lead-filled balloon. Ava was in trouble. If something had happened to her after he’d left… “Where is she?”

He grabbed Kami’s elbow and turned her toward the doors. “Take me to her.”

“In a moment.” Kami gently extracted herself from his grip and stared up at him.

She didn’t speak.

She didn’t blink.

She studied him, scanning him with her eyes as if she’d be able to sense any malice. Maybe she had abilities, but he had his doubts. Regardless, Ava’s guard dog wasn’t budging until she’d satisfied herself in her pursuit of whatever she sought.

He couldn’t lower his shields to scan the area for Ava. Not with Kami standing close enough, alert enough, to notice the metamorphosis his eyes would make.

Seconds clanged like gongs.

His blood raced with the driving force of his heart. Ava was hurt and this woman was withholding.

Clang.

Unless she was part of a plan to keep him off Ava’s trail. He muted the conspiracy theorist in his head. It was possible. It wasn’t likely.

Clang.

Kami rubbed her lips together and narrowed her green gaze.

Kami.

Clang.

“You’re Channing’s Kami.” She was older than in the picture he’d glimpsed at Channing’s lab, but she hadn’t changed much. He should’ve put it together immediately.

She softened in the span of a breath. “Yes. I was his, just as Ava is mine. Can you help her?”

“I’ll do my best. Where is she?”

“In my car.” Kami turned toward the door, clearly deciding to trust him. “I’m not sure what’s happening to her.”

“Is her head bothering her? She took a hard hit yesterday.”

“That may be part of it.” She pointed to a white Lexus sports coupe. “But this feels…bigger.”

Internal alarms blared somewhere on his empathic plain. He shoved past Kami, rounded the hood of the car and pulled open the passenger door. Pale and weak, a battered shell of the woman he’d left a few hours earlier cowered in the leather seat.
