Chapter Ten

What was that?

That's the alarm I set when we came in. Someone's here. Stay against the wall and move back to the office.

Sudden dread coursed through her as she peered into the darkened warehouse. Mickey had arranged a meeting, but he was here way early. Like her and Jake he was being cautious, or maybe he'd come prepared to set something up.

She was almost to the door of the office when Jake stepped out, easing the door closed before walking quietly toward her. She inched toward him, and he reached for her hand and pressed his shoulder against hers. He was carrying her purse in his free hand, and he gave it to her.

She knew it was because that was where she'd put her gun.

When Jake gave her a meaningful look, she slung the strap of the purse across her chest, then opened it so she could see the revolver, feeling as if she'd stepped into a scene in a cop show.

The weapon should have made her feel safer. Instead, she felt a kind of raw exposure that she couldn't explain. It was kind of like when she and Jake had been playing around. They'd been focusing on physical sensations and sending silent messages. Somehow she felt as though the guy who'd come in was probing on the same wavelength.

He'd stayed out of sight. Now he walked to the middle of the floor. He was medium height, with blond hair. From where they were standing, they couldn't see his eyes, but his posture was relaxed as he thrust his hands into the pockets of his jeans.

He looked around, then called, "Come out. I know you're up there."

"We'll stay here," Jake called back.

The guy shrugged.

"And you are...?" Jake asked.

"Mickey Delaney. And you are Jake Harper and Rachel Gregory."

"How do you know?"

"You got into some trouble when a woman named Evelyn Morgan was killed."

Jake remained silent, and Rachel took her cue from him.

"What did she tell you?" Mickey asked.

"Nothing. We didn't get a chance to talk to her."

"Who killed her?"

"I'd like to know. You said you had information for us. All you're doing is asking questions about Evelyn Morgan," Jake said. "What do you have to say that you couldn't say over the phone?"

"I think the two of you have recently discovered a talent that you didn't have before."

Jake didn't acknowledge the observation.

"Don't be modest about it. I'm sure you're enjoying it."

"What kind of talent?" Jake asked.

"Mind-to-mind communication."

Rachel caught her breath.

"How do you know?" Jake asked.

"Because I have it, too," the guy said.

"Where did it come from?"

Mickey shrugged. "I was hoping you had some insights."

"I was hoping you did," Jake countered.

"You got it when the two of you...hooked up," Mickey said.

"What about it?"

"What can you do?"

Don't even think about it, Jake said to Rachel.

"You first," Jake said.

"I thought you'd want to brag about your new abilities."

"This isn't getting us anywhere," Jake said. "Either tell us what you want or get the hell out of here."

"You're giving orders?"

It wasn't Mickey who spoke. A woman stepped from behind the float with the king and queen and looked up at them.
