PART SIX

WITHIN RANGE

The kid - Vincent - waved as he walked up the steps to the first floor of the apartment building he and his mom lived it. Pat Timmons, sometime detective in the glorious NYPD waved back. As the kid disappeared into the building, Timmons' stomach turned over. The boy practically glowed with the power he'd drawn in. Spending time that close to him - and that book, whatever it was - felt like straddling a live power line.

No doubt Vincent thought Pat had just happened on him. Which was almost true. Dr William Thomas, the boy's violin tutor, had called him when he and Vincent's mother found the note he'd left in his room, and given him a likely starting place. Which had helped, but once he'd gotten within a quarter mile or so, he'd been drawn to the kid like a magnet. The magic juice - whatever it really was, he had no clue - running through Vincent thrummed in the air. Pat couldn't help but feel it.

He'd always had a good bit of a sense of the genuine weirdness of the world. His granddad on his mom's side claimed it came from the Irish background.
