Thor and Genevieve ca," Thor said

"Beautiful day, isn’t it?" Genevieve said cheerfully

"Coffee on?" Thor asked

It ht have been an ordinary visit Except that when Thor left to get coffee for himself and his wife, Genevieve walked into the center of the parlor and stood very still

"Anything?" Christina heard herself ask hopefully

Genevieve let out a sigh "Yes…and no I can feel so, but…" She smiled "Let’s take a trip to the cemetery, shall we?"

"Sure"

"What’s wrong?" Genevieve asked her

Christina shook her head, then tried to explain "I had a nighted and blindfolded"

"Does the killer bind, gag and blindfold his victims?" Genevieve asked

"I…don’t know"

"Okay, what then?" Genevieve prodded

"Then I woke up"

Genevieve watched her thoughtfully Adam Harrison stepped closer and looked into her eyes "It’s possible that…"

"That…?" Christina asked, not entirely sure she wanted to hear the answer

"We know Beau Kidd has made a connection with you," Adam said, "soto speak to you, as well"

"Oh, God So I was feeling what she felt Before…" Christina stared at hiht You woke up But no one ever really kno far the ht, Christina," Ada the clue that cracks the case The dead do tell tales"

Jed waited in Jerry’s office until his friend came back and tossed a file on the desk "It’s all copies--you can have everything there," he said

Jed arched a brow to him "What did you find?"

Jerry had taken the chair behind his desk "Aly little I suspect their private work stays private, but there are a few articles in there about several cities, even a few states, hiring Harrison Investigations in…abnormal circus that go bu the folder "Here’s one…a Florida story, even, about Old Dixie Highway, outside St Augustine There was a rash of abductions of teenagers The locals were claihway, that the kids were being abducted by the ghosts of three woed there by a lynch ht in the state, and the state brought in Harrison Investigations"

Jed looked skeptically at Jerry "Let ations performed some sort of a voodoo rite and the abductions stopped?"

Jerry leaned back, shaking his head "Harrison Investigations found the kids being held in a shack in the woods One kid’s dad was head of an oil corporation The kidnapper, an ex-ee, intended to ask for ransom eventually, but first he wanted his old boss to suffer"

"The police couldn’t find this shack, but Harrison Investigations did? Was there ever an explanation?"

"Adam Harrison found the shack himself," Jerry said "He claih the woods"

Jed shook his head, clearly still doubtful

"Our own fed, Gil, told it He hasn’t worked with him personally, but he knows people who have, and they swear by the guy"

Jed stared at Jerry, feeling irritated He didn’t knohy, but he’d wanted to find a reason to mistrust the ations angle The guy had to be some kind of charlatan Didn’t he?

"What I want to know," Jerry told hiirlfriend’s doorstep"
