Chapter Seventeen

Kieran

The feeling came suddenly, sending my body into a cold chill. The vision appeared suddenly, warning me of Zoe’s imminent danger. I tore myself away from my laptop, knocking it to the ground with half of the papers on the bed. I didn’t bother to pick them up as I grabbed my shoes and raced out the door.

Zoe was in trouble. All I cared about was getting to her.

They were in the woods, I knew that for sure. All of them had run right into a trap. Where in the woods, I wasn’t sure, though. Nor could I see who set the trap. “Bloody hell,” I muttered as I strapped on my motorcycle helmet. I was going to need help on this one. Who in Elliot Lake could I even go to for help?

I didn’t have to think twice. I turned down the road to Zoe’s dad’s office. As far as his daughter was concerned, nothing was more important. Hopefully that meant he would listen to me and help me without asking questions about whether or not I was a crazy lunatic.

I sped through the streets and parked the bike in a doctor’s marked parking spot near the front before I raced through the front of the building toward her dad’s office.

His nurse-secretary lady wasn’t there, so I headed straight toward the back, to his office. Shouting, “Doc? Hey! Zoe’s dad?” I opened the door without knocking.

He looked up, shocked. A pair of Beats earphones covered his ears. He must’ve been dictating or something. “Kieran,” he said, pulling the earphones off. “What the h—? What’re you doing here?”

“Zoe’s in trouble,” I said, nearly smiling that he caught himself from swearing. “Don’t ask me how I know because I can’t explain it. But she’s definitely in trouble. Big trouble.”

He paled and then grabbed his keys. “Where is she?”

“By the mine.”

He raced out of the office, quickly locking the door. I led the way down the stairs and into the parking lot.

“We’ll take my car,” he said when he noticed my bike.

I followed him, focussing on trying to sense anything else about Zoe. I couldn’t and it was driving me nuts. “Oye!”

“Pardon?” Zoe’s dad unlocked his car and we jumped into it. He tore out of the parking lot and headed toward the mine.

“Nothing, sorry. Just frustrated.” Part of me wondered why he believed me and why he wasn’t taking me directly to the police.

“You have the same ability as the others?”

I stared at him as houses whipped by. “Um… no?” When had Zoe told him? Or had he known all along.

He glanced at me from the corner of his eye. “Your bloodwork showed nothing. Did it occur later?”

I shook my head. “I switched my blood that day.”

“Really?”

“Just a hunch I needed to.” I shrugged and we drove in silence the rest of the way.

Zoe’s dad drove to the edge of the woods to where Brent’s car and the Beetle were. As soon as the BMW was in park, we jumped out.
