Chapter 15

Brian lay in bed staring up at the ceiling as the fragments of his dreams began to fade away into oblivion. He reached over for the DPU that Driscol had given him and tapped the journal voice entry feature. A blue holographic screen flickered into existence about two feet over the unit and filled with the words that he spoke. Excitement coursed through his veins as he remembered an important aspect of what he’d seen of Ashley. He didn’t know if he should have called Agent Driscol first but he didn’t want to forget any details of the dream. When Brian finished recording what he’d witnessed, he reached for his cell phone and called Driscol.

“Driscol,” she said crisply.

“It’s me, Brian,” he said.

“What happened?” she said sharply.

“I had some dreams and I knew you’d want to hear it right away,” Brian said.

“Go ahead,” Driscol said eagerly.

“I dreamed Ashley was staying at the Evergreen Motel in Everett,” Brian said and then swiftly relayed the rest of the details. “I recognized the street in Everett or I wouldn’t have known where she was.”

“That’s great! Thanks for letting me know right away. I’ll see you after school,” Driscol said quickly before disconnecting.

Brian realized that the dreams he had were events that had already occurred but perhaps Ashley was still residing at the hotel. If so, Driscol would find her today. If not, there may be clues as to her whereabouts. Brian went through his morning routine for strengthening his psionic shielding and then prepared for school. His nerves were edgy with doubts and worries as he wondered how his new abilities would behave in the chaotic crowds of his peers. Paul and Amy were encouraging as they ate breakfast together but they were nervous too. Oddly enough, their concern wasn’t painful as it normally was. He could sense it clearly but the psionic protection was still strong so the pain was absent.

Brian began to feel the pressure when he pulled onto the campus and parked his car. On his drive over, he had sensed the FBI agent who was assigned to watch him but had lost him in the crowd of thoughts and emotions of the school. Instead of reassuring, the presence felt intrusive as though spying on him even though his purpose was to protect him on the off chance that the researchers tried to kidnap him again. By lunchtime, he was tired and a dull ache throbbed behind his temples. He met with Derek and Amy at the cafeteria.

“You’re looking a bit tired. How are you holding up?” Amy asked.

“I’m fine,” Brian said dismissively.

“Don’t lie to me,” Derek said.

“If you must have a full report, I’m tired but my psionic shielding is strong and there’s no sign of psychic burnout,” Brian said sardonically. “Are you happy, now?”

“It sounds like you’re doing okay,” Derek said hesitantly.

“I’m sure I’ll get used to it,” Brian said. “Besides, you’re tired as well. All level tens get drained being in a crowd.”

“Yeah but I don’t have the psychic burnout problems either,” Derek retorted.
