Chapter Five

CHRIS ARRIVED at the construction site well before sunrise. Autumn was kind to the mountains this year, providing warm, dry days, but the nights plummeted to near freezing temperatures. He climbed out of the truck and zipped up his insulated vest. If his ceremony failed this morning, at least he’d be warm in his layers of vest, T-shirt, and flannel. Not that he expected to fail, but he never expected a vortex to spiral out of the Earth in the middle of town either. Times were changing. The Earth was changing. His guides informed him on more than one occasion that the changes they witnessed since the turn of the century were occurring faster than they had ever seen. He always paid close attention to the messages from Spirit and tried to use the information wisely. Chris gathered his medicine bundle and approached the empty lot and energy vortex with his supernatural shields in place. He wouldn’t be caught off guard this time.

The ground near the center of the vortex appeared to have risen a few feet as if being shoved upward from beneath. The skid loader sat at a hazardous angle near the trench where Marlin worked the morning before. A slew of ghosts hovered around the lot like unearthly guards. Chris’s eyes burned from lack of sleep and his body dragged as heavy as his eyelids. Regardless of the detrimental sleep loss, his mind remained in overdrive.

Yesterday passed in a whirl of activity. After the excitement at Jack’s Corner Pocket, he rode with Naomi to the hospital, stayed by her side through the check-in process, and then visited the police station. By the time he was finished filing the police report, he had needed to find something to eat. He drove to his father’s house to consult with him on the unusual case.

Sherman White Wolf Abeyta shared food with his son and told stories through the night. Chris gained much-needed insight regarding the ghost world and energy shifts. In the early hours of the morning, he asked his father to come to town with him, but the elder shook his head and told his son he didn’t feel like it.

Chris had his own interpretation of his father’s refusal. Sherman once told him that he should develop his own methods and medicines for working with Spirit — without outside influence. Chris believed his father shared those words because he knew his son better than anyone else did. The elder understood that Chris worked best alone.

With Todd and Marlin’s hasty departure the morning before, the gate hung open and no one had returned to lock it. Chris walked unhindered onto the lot. He concentrated on all that needed to be done. He couldn’t relax or rest until the vortex was stable and the spirits, who arrived with the increase of Earth energy, passed to the spirit world.

Someone tapped him on the shoulder, and he steeled his resolve before responding.

“I am not here. Pretend you do not see me.”

“Fat chance,” the hefty male spirit said.
