I wouldn’t know who I could trust.” Victory said. But seeing Detective Howard there really spooked me. I spoke to him about one of my research projects only last week.” Payton stared at Victory in disbelief, tears trickling down her cheeks. “I’ll get him right on it, but in the mean time watch yourself,” Wyatt warned. Get Jack to use those cyber skills of his and do some more digging, see if he can find anything more on Victory Winters. Could be no more than women’s intuition.” Nevertheless, when you and I first communicated I watched her pace visibly slow as she scanned the area.” She wasn’t there by the time I reached the scene.

People seemed to be going about their business, grooming dogs, or talking with friends. She didn’t hear a specific conversation and yet she could feel a conversation this was new- what kind of sensation was this? Slowing her pace she glanced around, surveying her surroundings. Victory felt a whisper of electricity run the length of her spine. Had she not taught herself years ago how to filter out the bombardment of noise and emotion encompassing her, she would have fallen to her knees from the deluge of sensations.

Your only assignment is to keep tabs on her for now, don’t engage,” Wyatt said.Īs quickly as Wyatt entered his mind, Tristan could feel his presence fade. “It’s nothing, I was daydreaming for a bit,” Tristan said. ” Wyatt popped into his thoughts and broke the spell. “For crying out loud, I feel like a school kid,” he muttered to himself.
