“Has Ms. McKenzie been in before?” Simon asked, thinking the name sounded familiar.
“I don’t think so,” Pete replied. “I didn’t get that impression from her when she booked the appointment.”
“I’m going to check my email before she gets here.” He started toward the office in the back and stumbled as pain stabbed through his temples. Simon barely managed to set the coffee on the counter before he staggered and nearly fell.
“Simon?”
“Vision,” he replied through gritted teeth.
Pete came around the counter and steadied Simon, walking with him to the couch in the office. Simon sank down wordlessly and leaned forward with his head in his hands, trying to focus his attention through the pain, so he didn’t miss what the vision was trying to tell him.
He saw a baseball game in progress, with players in old-fashioned uniforms. Simon wasn’t a big enough fan to recognize the team, but he noted the colors and the swordfish logo. His view narrowed to the batter, a young dark-haired man with expressive eyes and a thin mustache who wore the number 12 on his shirt.
As quickly as the vision came, it vanished, leaving Simon shaken and his head pounding. Pete came back into the office with a bottle of water, Simon’s abandoned coffee cup, and a couple of ibuprofen.
“Here. This should help. Lie down until your head feels better. I’ve worked with you long enough to know the aftereffects of one of your visions.”
“Thanks. You okay up front for a while?” Simon swallowed the pills, drained the water bottle, and took a big gulp of coffee. Then he leaned back and closed his eyes, waiting for the headache to fade.
“Yeah. It’s been slow so far. I thought I saw Mitch heading this way, so maybe the reporters will back off after he rips them a new one.” The expectation in Pete’s voice made Simon smile, despite the circumstances.
“Okay. Thanks. You’re the best.”
Pete pulled the door mostly closed behind him, leaving Simon in the near-darkness of the office. After twenty minutes, the liquids and pain killer kicked in, and his headache began to fade. Once the throbbing stopped, Simon could think again, leaving him to puzzle out the unusual images.
What the hell was that about? A yesteryear baseball team, and one player in particular. How does that have anything to do with what’s going on?
Simon had learned that his psychic gift didn’t always communicate in a predictable, linear way. Supernatural ways of knowing—visions, tarot cards, tea leaves, or any of the other many psychic abilities—didn’t unfold like a book or a movie. Instead, they tended to offer a “highlights reel” of only the most essential, highly emotional moments, leaving the recipient to put the pieces of the puzzle together.
Normally, he loved the challenge. But the Slitter trial had Simon on edge, fearing that he or Vic—or their friends—could end up in danger.
