DeMarco added, “Our minds tend to do what they need to in order to protect us. Sometimes the mind of a psychic, their nature, is stronger than they realize. They can endure more than they believe they can. And for whatever reason, the Universe insists that they endure.” He wasn’t looking at his partner, though the other two agents glanced at Hollis. “And for those psychics, the mind apparently doesn’t give building a shield a priority.”

“Why is my mind giving me trouble?” Kirby asked with a tinge of desperation in her voice. “I’m not strong, really. I mean inside. Not tough. Too many things still scare me. And feeling what others feel . . . I think it’s a good bet the emotions in this town are going to be getting more intense, especially after the sheriff’s warning. Panic, worry, fear. Is my mind going to protect me from that?”

Hollis said, “You haven’t been in this kind of situation before, right? With a whole town, even a small town, feeling way too much to be calm about it?”

“No, I haven’t. My abilities were triggered by a car accident around two years ago. And it wasn’t long after I started freaking out the nursing staff at the hospital that Bishop paid me a visit. I don’t have any family except distant cousins I never kept track of, and since I’d left Chicago to move to New York and had the accident on the way, there were no friends nearby. When I was discharged, Bishop was there to take me directly to a big house up in the mountains here in the South. Really high up, like a sort of . . . aerie. I don’t know if you guys have been there, but it was like someone’s private home, only it had half a dozen guest suites and a pretty amazing communications center, and incredible views out of every window. And a helicopter pad, which is good because I’m not sure there were roads.”

Hollis glanced at her partner, their eyes meeting briefly as both of them remembered that particular aerie. It was where they had met for the first time. At that amazing place that was part home and part business, where Bishop and Miranda occasionally met up with teams during their cases and where they tended to spend what off time they could carve out together. But neither Hollis nor Reese interrupted the younger agent as she went on.

“From what I saw and what I was told, I gather that’s where Bishop takes some of the more . . . fragile . . . psychics before he decides whether they belong in the FBI or at Haven. Or neither. There were other people there, other psychics including Miranda, almost all of them with shields, so it felt very peaceful to me. And there were tests, I suppose to see what I was capable of. I honestly don’t know why Bishop thought I belonged at Quantico, but he convinced me. About
