Psychic Visions 08-Now You See Her... Read Online Free PDF

“The only way that information would have left Simone’s lips is if she couldn’t hold out any longer. That would mean she’s dead.”
    “Call her.” Stefan held out her cell phone. “Find out if she’s okay.”
    Hating to use her phone again if it was bugged, she said, “Let me use your phone, just in case.”
    He held it out. She snatched it up and quickly dialed. After several rings she realized there wasn’t going to be a response. “No answer.” She stared at the phone then hopped off the bed on the side away from Stefan, only to find him still holding her hand. She tried to tug it free. “I have to go. See if she’s okay.”
    “You can’t,” Stefan said.
    “You don’t understand. Simone is all I have in this world. If that bastard got a hold of her, there’s no knowing what he’d do.”
    “I’ll have someone check on her,” he said calmly. “You will stay here where you are safe.”
    “What? Are you nuts?” She couldn’t believe what she was hearing. “How can I be safe here?”
    “Because I’ve got the room under surveillance,” he said. “Woven in energy strands. You will be safe here.”
    “Your watchdog got in, so why couldn’t this other guy? He works energy too,” she said scornfully. “Or did you think just anyone could take me down?”
    “Not at all. But he has his weakness too.”
    Stefan stood up. “Rest. Sleep. Recharge. I’ll call you on your cell phone when I have news about Simone.”
    “Take me with you, damn it.”
    “No.” He walked through the doorway and she raced after him.
    Until she reached the opened doorway and hit some kind of force field. There were shocks and little blasts of light and she bounced back.
    “Shit,” she cried out. “That hurt.”
    Stefan already several steps away turned to smile at her. “That’s okay. Now that you know, you won’t do it again.”
    He motioned to Dean to walk through. “I need to speak with you.”

    Dean hadn’t seen anything like that invisible wall the woman had slammed into, but then he hadn’t ever seen a woman go invisible. And just for thinking this, he needed another mental health check-up himself.
    He still wasn’t sure what he’d seen, but he knew the man waiting for him had the answers. At least he hoped he did.
    Taking a deep breath, reminding himself he trusted the man who’d saved his son, he walked through the doorway. He felt nothing. Frowning, he turned back to see Tia standing on the other side glaring at him as if he were to blame. She rubbed her arms for a long moment before her shoulders took a downward slide and she turned back to her bed.
    He hated to see her spirit take a beating like that. She’d been a spitfire up to now. Except someone she cared about was in trouble, she was a prisoner and someone apparently had the upper hand in this business. He’d bet on Stefan any day. In fact, he already had.
    “Stefan, what the hell is going on?”
    “Tia is special,” Stefan said. “As you could see.”
    “Did she really disappear?” he asked incredulously. “I couldn’t believe what I was seeing.”
    “She doesn’t disappear as much as she plays with energy and can make it look like she’s not actually there. But, in fact, she is.”
    “So when I thought she’d escaped on me, she was actually still in the room?” It was the only answer that made any sense and even that explanation didn’t hold up for long.
    “More or less. I don’t know all she can do. Not sure she does either. Often with these weird energy abilities, the person doesn’t know until they are actually in a situation where they are forced to push the limits of their abilities and then they find out something new about themselves.”
    Dean nodded as if he understood. Like hell he did. “So now what?”
    “When are you off tonight?”
    Dean glanced at his watch. “As soon as my replacement shows up.”
    “Are you heading home then or would you be interested in checking out Simone’s situation for
