Chapter 13

Julie stepped into Jeremy’s office just as he and Emily were preparing to leave. She wore a black business suit that augmented the severe, hawk-like features of her face. She conveyed a sense of grimness that wasn’t completely uncharacteristic.

“I have some bad news that I wanted to tell you before you left,” Julie said to them.

“What’s wrong?” Emily asked.

“The four Psi-Tech operatives that the police arrested yesterday were found murdered in their jail cell last night,” she said.

Disappointment and disgust crashed through Emily in a heavy wave. She should have anticipated something like this.

“I knew it wouldn’t be so easy to pin anything on Psi-Tech,” Emily said stiffly.

“Don’t worry. Our center is perfectly safe. We have plenty of guards,” Julie said. “One of them is a telepath. His name is Alex and his secondary ability is electrokinesis. A very rare talent that we’re lucky to have. He’s the one I assigned to escort you both to the airport.”

“Great,” Jeremy said. “Thank you.”

Alex arrived a short time later. He was a young man in his early twenties with black hair and brown eyes wearing a black tee shirt with jeans and tennis shoes. He, Emily, and Jeremy took Jeremy’s SUV to the airport. When Kate finally showed up, Emily hugged her effusively and was overcome with the joy of seeing her mother after all these years.

“I’m so glad you’re back,” Kate said.

She hugged Jeremy and they went over to pick up her luggage. As they headed out to Jeremy’s car, Emily sensed a remote-viewer which she easily blocked. Jeremy’s gaze cut to hers with a look of concern.

“It’s been weeks since they tried to track you,” Jeremy said.

“I know,” Emily said.

“What is it?” Kate asked nervously.

“Someone’s trying to find me again,” Emily said.

“Let’s get out of here,” Jeremy said emphatically.

They climbed in his SUV and headed for the center. They had only driven about a mile when they could sense the presence of Psi-Tech operatives following them. The pursuers drove a blue sedan and there were five of them.

“Don’t sweat it. I can handle them,” Alex said confidently.

His gaze stared off into space for several seconds and the blue sedan suddenly fell back rapidly and turned off to the side of the road. Soon, they were out of sight.

“What did you do?” Emily asked.

“I killed their engine,” Alex said.

“That’s amazing! What ability do you have?” Kate asked.

“I can manipulate electricity.”

“That’s incredible! I wish I could do something like that!” Kate regarded him with envy and awe.

“You have an impressive ability of your own,” Emily said. “Seeing the future is very important.”

“I saw the news about Phoenix Enterprises and read the company FAQ online. I would like to apply for work there and live at the center,” Kate said.

Emily was flabbergasted to hear these words from her mother. She would have thought it would have taken a lot of persuading but Kate had come up with the idea all on her own.

“I anticipated you might be interested and spoke to the president of the company on your behalf.
