CHAPTER TWELVE

"Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage."

Lao Tzu

"I'm glad you're back," Ed says when I enter to the SCU. "I have a present for you." He hands me a box. Inside is a pair of thin leather gloves – exceptionally thin. So thin, I can pick up a dime off the counter. "They'll protect you from intrusions when you touch objects that might have been connected to a murder."

"Thanks," I say, slipping them off and putting them in my coat pocket.

"Most Adepts wear them. Once you start working, doing cases, you'll be more attuned to the traces left in crime scene evidence. Helps keep the crazy images and visions at bay."

I smile at Ed and take in a deep breath. Michel comes to my desk and examines the gloves.

"There's a development in Montana," Ed says. "A similar case. Same MO. Seems as if our killer's gone inter-state in his killing spree. I want you both to come with me and investigate."

"You want us to go where?"

I can hear the frustration in Michel's voice and see it in the lines on his brow. He shakes his head.

"Montana," Ed says, as if he's unconcerned. "There's a similar murder. We need to investigate the connections."

"I don't like the idea of leaving Boston when Eve isn't fully trained," Michel says. "Not a good idea."

Another murder. I shrug, trying to appear calm at the prospect.

"Here," Ed says and places a paper bag on the desk in front of me. "We use the FBI for our cover. Your badge, your jacket and your permit to carry a weapon. You can go to weapons later and get yourself one. You won't have time to actually do your firearms training, so your magazine will be empty but we can't have a Special Agent walking around without a weapon on their person."

I take the badge out and hang it around my neck. I inspect the jacket. It's a blue windbreaker and has the letters FBI in yellow on the back and the insignia on the front. It feels like a costume rather than a uniform and I feel like an actor, not the real deal.

"Sounds interesting," I say, trying to feel confident in my abilities. Truly, I would have preferred to spend a few more days reading and just becoming familiar with SCU procedures but I understand they want to find the killer.

"Fill out the requisitions," Ed says to Michel, "and I'll sign them to approve your travel expenses."

I'm not really sure I want to go to Montana but it will be a chance for Michel and I to work together as a team. I get to do some real work, and so, I'll put extra food in my cat's dish and pack my bags once more.

I can tell Michel isn't happy but he shrugs and gives in. Later, when we're finished making arrangements, he pulls me over alone in the hallway.

"Eve, I don't like this. I don't like taking you out of town when you're not trained.
