Troy talked me into going with him to track down Beverly Barnes. I could tell he didn’t want to be alone, and no one back at the precinct believed in what he was doing. They thought he was ridiculous bringing in a psychic and had scoffed when he brought Lauren in for questioning. Even after she admitted to lying to the police, they still didn’t think he was going after anything of importance. No matter how much evidence they were presented with, even with the Liam O’Neal case solved, they still couldn’t accept that what he was doing was working.

It ate at Troy. I could see it in the way he kept fidgeting while he drove to Beverly’s place of employment. I wanted to reassure him, wanted to tell him we would figure this out. There was no stopping me now. I was going to prove Lauren was behind this. I had to.

I couldn’t believe she fingered Beverly. Was it possible Beverly was behind my death? Of all people. I remembered the time I had run into her at the coffee shop. Her little boy was such a cute small thing. The darkness around her aura was not. Was that because she had murdered me? Had she then killed Pete, and then finally Drake? Why? What would be her motive?

Pete had been stabbed over eighty times. Why? Why would Beverly do something like that? They thought I had been stabbed at least ten times, that means hatred. What could I have possibly done to her to make her hate me that much?

Was it because of what I used to do to her in high school? The bullying. The passive aggressive comments. I wasn’t exactly the poster child for likability from Beverly’s point of view. But was it motive for murder?

“Beverly Barnes?” Troy and I entered the local dollar store, and I spotted her immediately behind the counter at the front of the store. She looked even more tired than the last time I had seen her, but the tinged aura wasn’t there anymore. She had been delivered her karma and was still standing. That was something, right? If she was a killer, if that was her sin, wouldn’t karma have been delivered in the form of a jail cell?

Or was that why we were here?

“Yes?” She looked at us, and her eyes widened when she spotted me.

“It’s you,” she said to me. That couldn’t be.

“You’ve met before?” Troy asked me.

“Uh, yeah, I think so. At a coffee shop,” she said. She shouldn’t have recognized me. I looked completely different from when I was playing an ad exec as Cassidy Hail.

“My son still has that bear, he loves it.”

“Oh good.” I looked to Troy and shrugged like I didn’t know what she was talking about.

“Is this about Cassandra?” she asked. “You have her eyes.”

“Did Lauren tip you off that we were coming, Beverly?” I asked quickly before she could link me and Cassandra together. That would complicate things immensely.

“Oh no, it’s just when I look at you, all I see is Cassandra.
