"I know. And he does, too. Harry, this is going to sound crazy, but—-"

He laughed softly. "Odd word to come from a psychologist."

She laughed, too, but there was a hysterical tone to her laughter.

Harry must have noticed, because his voice was serious when he prompted, "You were saying?"

"I was about to say that, despite all the appearances to the contrary, I don't think Joe is mentally ill."

"Are you sure that isn't just wishful thinking?"

Maggie sighed. So her feelings toward Joe were apparent to others.

"That may play some part, but my gut instinct is that there is some other reason for all these things he claims. To tell you the truth, I've felt that way from the beginning, and I just can't get rid of this sense I have that there's something more to Joe's story... something beyond the explanations of science and logic."

"Maggie, Maggie, Maggie. The man says he's a tenth-century Viking who was delivered to this land by a killer whale."

"I know."

"And you believe that?"

"I'm not sure what I believe. I just know that he's not insane, or deranged, or mentally ill."

There was a long pause while Harry digested all that she'd said. They both knew there were cases that defied all the textbooks, that sometimes instinct was the best measure... but would he accept what she said now?

"Okay," he agreed finally. "What happens next?"

"I just want to go on record as stating that Joe Rand is no longer my patient."

"Uh-oh."

Uh-oh is right. Major uh-oh. "You've already said he's not a patient at the clinic anymore. I want to establish a paper record that he's not my patient, either."

"For the lawyers?"

"If need be."

"Maggie, be careful. You've got children to consider."
