ghosts. They all need something from her, they all have emotional issues she can’t always meet.”

Bill rocked on his knees and took my hand. “I’m sorry, Hannah. I realize how hard it is for you. But you are our link to answers that we require to save lives. Doesn’t that make a difference?”

“Tom can be that link, Bill. I don’t think I can do it. I’m a great speaker box for Tom, but I’m not strong enough. I can’t make it all right for everyone.”

Takeshi took my hand. “If you use her as a direct link it will do her mental and emotional harm. Worse yet, she will come to the attention of others who will not have your standards of integrity. She will not deal directly with any of the other plane crash victims, or anyone else except Sharon, Tom and Bethann.”

“When did you become her manager?” Jack demanded.

I looked at Takeshi and then at Jack. “He’s my friend. He’s much more to me then that, but first he is my friend. He’s the one person in this room who gives a damn about me. Do you, Jack? Do you care that it kills a little part of me every time I see them? Tom’s the only one that I feel certain I can help. So we are helping him. But even with that my goal is to send them into the light. To let him and the others move on to the next world. What’s your goal? Do you care that they’ve already suffered a terrible death and they still linger to help you find answers?” I sighed and shook my head. “When Tom steps into the light, I’m done. Even if it means I give up my chance to be taken into the light. I have to have choices in this. If you take away my choices, you put me in a prison, and I don’t deserve to be in a prison. I would not survive. I would make a choice not to.”

“Miss Campbell—” Jack started to say.

“Shut up, Jack,” Rachel said firmly. “At least act as if you have a soul, even if you don’t have a heart.”

Enrique spoke in Spanish to Mateo and Hector. An extended conversation ensued. What appeared to be an argument grew forceful between Mateo and Enrique, before they turned to us and Mateo stepped forward.

“We agree that we saw no evidence of Miss Campbell’s ability to see or communicate with anyone except Tom. We will not report to our government something we did not witness.”

“I’m in agreement with your assessment.” Rachel looked to her boss. “What about you, Bill?” Her expression was beseeching.

Bill was fingering the braid of hair in his right hand. He stared at it for a few seconds before he looked down at Takeshi. “You’re a man in love, Dr. Shimodo. I’ve known that since Washington. I understand you better now.” He turned to me then. “Yes, they all deserve to walk into the light. We’ll help you in that purpose.
