Chapter 18

• Jennah hung up the phone with a loud groan. It had been nice of Captain Wilds to call her with an update, even if it wasn’t the one she wanted to hear. They had a few leads on the warden, made three more arrests, and had spent the last week checking out contacts, which was all good. It was coming together. Dom was still in a safe house, and from what the captain implied, he wasn’t happy having to stay out of sight.
• She sighed and watched out the window. It was snowing again, and she felt as heavy as the snowflakes looked. She had tried to connect with Dominic several times in the last week, but hadn’t been able to. She wasn’t sure why she couldn’t. The captain had said he had been exhausted and spent a few days resting more than anything, but now he was working the case with them. Did he have her blocked again? She was wishing she had asked him more questions on this thing that they were able to do. It wasn’t as if she could just search for it on the internet. What would she search? Controlling your mind hopping abilities? How to connect in dreams? She snorted at her own exhausted thoughts.
• Work had kept her busy enough. The crazy incidents were the only things that were distracting her right now, and there were a lot of them. Rudy had tried to get her to take a day off, but she wasn’t interested in time alone to sit here and wonder and worry. The captain wouldn’t tell her where the safe house was, and that was probably a good thing because, despite her knowing she might be recognized or followed, she would have gone there just to see if Dom was all right.
