Chapter 15

Football and Ex-wives

On Saturday, Fallen woke up after ten in the morning and felt gluttonous but refreshed. She tried not to think about what she’d be doing at the hotel right now. Anyway, her new job with Adelaide would be from 4 to 6 today, and after that she’d go to Fenn’s game under the lights at 8. If she rushed through her house chores, she could get a few hours of research in before going over to meet Ms. Adelaide.

Fenn woke up even later than Fallen and was obviously pumped about the game. He happily scarfed down the grilled cheese sandwich she made for him before she headed out to the library. She wanted to talk more with him and felt guilty about skipping out until he mentioned he was going to practice in less than an hour.

After telling him about her new job, she wished him luck, promised to see him later, and locked the door behind them. She had to stop herself from running all the way to the library. Her fear about the war Thomas was fighting was always with her, but she was determined to channel it into action. Today she would see if searching for the name Lucy McHugh and researching wars the US had been involved in would turn up any additional information about where, and when, Thomas could be.

She remembered the look on Desta’s face when she’d mentioned Lad being in her dreams. That worried her a little. She’d thought of the room just as a doorway to Thomas, but there was a whole other world there. And these days visiting it might be like riding an untested roller coaster without a seatbelt if things were happening that surprised even Desta, a 14-year veteran. But what could she do? Stopping wasn’t an option. Pushing those worries aside, she opened the glass door to the library.

She was thrilled to see that it wasn’t too crowded so they wouldn’t yet be enforcing the half-hour computer time limit. If she wasn’t kicked off, she could get in a good two and a half hours of searching before she would have to leave.

Scraps of paper littered Fallen’s station when she finally logged off. She’d attacked the problem from every angle she could think of, but ended her session without any uplifting information. Lucy McHugh didn’t seem to have much of an online presence. The clothes Thomas wore in the dreams had held promise, but had yielded the soul-crushing realization that time was a definite issue. She’d compared his khakis and T-shirts with the images on a website that showed US military uniforms through the ages. Thomas’ looked like standard issue from the Vietnam era or earlier. So the Thomas she met in her dreams was not living in her current, modern world.

As Fallen walked to Adelaide’s house, she thought about ways of learning more about Thomas during the dreams. It would help to know the state where he lived, his birthdate, and where he was in the world.
