she let it go slowly. Something did happen. Quickly typing she explained it to Barbara. “There was a tingling like little electric currents that crawled up my right arm.” Good, that’s your “Seeing” hand. While we may pick up impressions with both hands this is the one that is strongest and will give you the clearest vision. Try not to touch an object your “reading” with your left hand. That is the hand you leave impressions with. You don’t want to leave something on an object you are reading; it could muddle the original impression. That’s why I really hate coins, too many touches.”
That last comment made Ryan feel better. Even this Barbara had something she didn’t like to touch. Well let’s get it over with . She reached out and grabbed the shoe with her right hand. It took a second but then a scene flashed. Candles on a table, wow hot guy. It was as if she were seeing through her sister's eyes. She knew what Amber wanted from this guy, not that she blamed her one bit.
The scene shifted and they were in a bedroom she felt the soft press of lips on her shoulder. Arms encircling her. Ryan’s heart began to race as fingers trailed down her throat as they walked toward the bed. She spun around and was caught by Mr. Wow., No, Andrew. His name is Andrew. His hand brushed the hair from her face as they lay back. His eyes were dark as he kissed her, the hand sliding up under the hem of her dress. Ryan gasped then threw the shoe in the trash.
She was furious with her sister. How could she? In my shoes! Her body still tingled with sensations she hadn’t felt in what seemed like a lifetime. She never really liked to be touched but now that she couldn’t touch at all it was torture. Her heart felt like it would shatter at the thought of never being able to be held. Something that didn’t seem important before.
Chapter 3
Thomas walked in the department to find his partner sat feet crossed on the desktop the keyboard in his lap. “Have you been here all night?”
Taking a sip of Margie’s coffee Jackson shrugged. The stuff was only good for two things paint remover and staying awake. “Since four thirty, so close enough.”
Tom pulled up a chair and picked up the notepad where Jackson had written. “Anything to go on?” There were notes on a murder that took place five years ago and one from two years ago.
All the victims were killed somewhere else then brought back home where they were found with the murder weapon. Same circle pattern. The only difference was the fact that the first two had their cornea surgically removed for medical reasons before their deaths.
Thomas assumed the same position at his desk and started reading the paper files Jack pulled. The cheap department would only give them one computer to share. “Did you look at the trace reports? They all have the same kind of grass, leaves, forest stuff on their cloths and skin.”
Nodding Jackson pointed to the large area on the wall map. “Yeah, all of it indigenousness to that entire area. Nothing to say this one hundred acres is where we should look.”
“Indigenousness? You’ve been reading books again haven’t you?”
Glaring he flipped Tom off. “Not all of us can graduate top of the food chain at Harvard.”
Thomas straightened his vest. “You’re just jealous that I got to sleep with all the sorority girls.” Grinning wide Jackson spotted Heinz coming from the corner of his eye. “Who said you have to go to college to sleep with the sorority girls?”
Thomas made a point mark in the air with his finger as the supervisor stopped at their cubby. “Update.”
The uptight man’s mood did not improve with the findings of two similar past cases. “These are unsolved?”
Prince nodded.
Their cell phones rang in unison. Heinz glanced down. They were being dispatched to a new homicide. “Take it and let me know what’s going on. Comb through every
