Robby was relieved when Olivia called him Saturday night as promised. She reported that Otis’s mother had passed the lie detector test. Mrs. Crump knew nothing about the apples, but she was delighted to meet Olivia. Otis had told her that he and Olivia were in love and destined to be together forever.

“Did ye tell her the truth?” Robby asked.

“I tried to, but I don’t think it registered. She’s convinced Otis is innocent and that he’ll be set free someday. She’s in major denial.”

“Well, it may be the only way she can cope,” Robby suggested. “Who would want to admit that they’d raised a psychotic serial killer?”

“Exactly,” Olivia muttered. “Anyway, when the mom didn’t pan out, we decided to try the brother. He lives in Indianapolis.”

“So ye drove there?”

“Yeah. We saw him about an hour ago. He was so full of rage, his aura was bright red tinged with black. He was angry at us, angry at his mother, angry at the whole world. Afterward, I called the local police to warn them to keep an eye on him. The guy’s about to explode, and I think he’s capable of being extremely violent.”

Robby winced. This was bad. If the brother blamed Olivia for Otis’s incarceration, she could be in danger. “Did he know anything about the apples?”

“Zilch. He knew nothing, and it was the truth. As raw as his emotions were, he was very easy to read.”

“Are ye still in Indianapolis?”

“Yep. It was getting late, so we checked into a hotel. We’ll drive back tomorrow.”

He gritted his teeth. “Ye’re in a hotel room?”

She laughed. “Separate rooms. So did you make any progress on your end?”

“I have a few ideas. First off, we have to assume everyone in yer office knew ye were on Patmos. The few who did know could have talked to others. So, ye need to check everyone, from yer boss to office workers to the night janitor.”

“Okay.”

“I’m going to check on Otis’s lawyer,” Robby continued. “He may have received long range instructions from Otis years ago. And we need to figure out if Otis has a way of communicating with the outside world that the prison doesna know about. Could he possibly be psychic?”

“You think he’s communicating telepathically?”

“I think we need to consider every possibility, no matter how bizarre.” Robby talked to her for another ten minutes, then rang off when she wanted to shower and go to bed.

He decided that since she was obviously away from home, this was the perfect time to visit her apartment. He called her home phone number, and when the answering machine kicked on, he used her voice as a beacon. Within seconds he materialized in her dark apartment. His eyes quickly adjusted, taking in the small living room. It contained a green love seat, a coffee table, and a television set on a small entertainment console. A table for two was tucked into a tiny eating area next to the kitchen.

He made sure the blinds and curtains were all shut before turning on a light.
