Chapter 19

Tori rolled down the windows of her weathered compact car after having stopped by her apartment, allowing the fresh breeze and meager sunshine in. Her hands remained steady and calm on the steering wheel as the forest sped by on both sides. There was something to inner relaxation that so far seemed to be helping with her impact on devices. She’d even dropped by the grocery store to get supplies, and the automatic door had opened the second time she’d stood on the censor mat. Usually it took five or six times, and last week she’d had to wait until another shopper showed up before the door would open.

This time, once she’d concentrated, she had seen vibrations around the door. Waves?

Her clothes were packed in her bag in the back along with her guitar. It had been a while since she’d written a song, and the cabin would be the perfect place to give it a try.

First she’d drop off her stuff at Adam’s cabin, and then she needed to go check on Bear. She’d promised Simone, and besides, Bear seemed like a good guy. If nothing else, maybe he could give her the scoop on Adam. And on himself. Every time somebody talked about Bear, they seemed to be holding something back about him. It was time she figured out what.

She pulled up to Adam’s cabin, her back straightening at the sight of the yellow cab waiting next to a long log. Jumping out, she cautiously made her way toward the driver.

“He promised five hundred.”

Tori stopped rummaging, her head snapping up. “What?”

The man shrugged. “Said he wasn’t feeling well and that he’d give me five hundred dollars if I got him here quietly. I did. That’s a valid contract.”

Why was the door open? “Um, okay. I’ll go get the money.” She skirted the cab and hustled up the wooden steps.

“Make it fast, or I’m calling the men in blue,” the guy yelled.

Her pulse kicked up a notch, and she used two knuckles to edge the door open more. Was it Bear? He really hadn’t been looking good the other night. Maybe he’d had to take a cab to get to Adam. She moved inside, seeing a man’s legs sticking out of the bedroom. “Bear?” She ran forward. Her heart stuttered. “Adam,” she whispered, dropping to her knees.

His eyelids opened. “There’s money in the top drawer.” Sweat dotted his upper lip and soaked through his T-shirt. “Pay the cabbie.” Then he shut his eyes again.

Panic swept her, and she jumped up, rifling through the drawer. A neatly tied stack of hundreds was pressed against the edge. She grabbed five and
