Chapter 22 - From a Dream
Dom hung up the phone as Brody came back through the door. “Captain said he’d be here shortly. He’s sent some sort of specialist on ahead of him.” He tried to remember the name. “I don’t know what they’re going to do. It’s too dark to see shit out there now!”
Brody nodded as he squatted down by the items still scattered on the floor. “We got everything. Do we try to lift anything off of this stuff?” Using his pen, he moved a tomato a few inches on the floor. “I really doubt they manhandled the groceries.”
Dom picked up the camera and went over. He held it out. “Just take pictures of it and then we’ll get it picked up.” Brody nodded and started to take the pictures. Dom stood there and tried not to glance at his watch again. Time was not going to bring her back. “Jennah? Honey, can y

Jennah had no idea how long she’d been lying there. There was no sound coming from outside of her darkened prison. There was no noise inside it either, she thought with relief flooding through her. At least she knew she was in this place alone and without rodent companionship. Her head ached and her eyes were hurting from straining to focus on something in the dark. She had come to several realizations while lying there. She couldn’t reach Dom—for whatever reason she couldn’t figure out. This brought her to the conclusion she could be here for a long time and that blind people were amazingly strong and brave to live in darkness like this all the time.With no watch—she snarled; they’d even taken her damn watch—she had no idea how long she had searched around her own private hell. If there was a way in and out of here, she hadn’t found any evidence of it. Just as she hadn’t fo

Someone tapped his shoulder. He turned and cleared his vision to look at Tess.“Can she touch one of the assailants?”“What?” He frowned at her and then glanced to Brody.She closed her eyes and then glared at him. “Please, there isn’t time to explain. If she can touch one of them while the two of you are connected—I can make it so we can see him. Maybe even both of the assailants, I’m not sure. Please, detective Palmer—trust me!”He turned, and the look on Brody’s face said what he was feeling. She was nuts! But, a small chance at anything helpful was worth it. What did he have to lose? “I’ll ask.” Shaking his head, he looked back to a spot on the table and reached for Jennah again. “Jennah, can you touch one of them?”“Them? The bozos that grabbed me?”

Jennah looked from the one holding snow on his nose to the one she now knew as Lester. “Am I just to sit here?” She kept her voice soft and non-threatening.Lester turned and looked at her from the window ledge he was leaning on. “I thought you’d be happy to have some light and be out of the hole.”“Oh, I am. Thank you.” She kept her hands clasped in her lap, even though she wanted to break his nose, as well. “Speaking about that, I wondered ...” She tried to look hopeful. “If I do have to go back down there, could you leave it open a bit, or propped up, or something? Just to let a bit of air circulate down there?” The other one snorted and then winced and cradled his nose again.Lester smirked. “It’s pretty rank down there, huh?” She nodded. He looked at the other man who sat there glaring at her and shrugge

“Hey, beautiful.”Jennah smiled. “Hey.” She looked around her and recognized her own bedroom. As much as she wanted to believe she was tucked up in her own bed, her conscious side knew better. They were in a dream. “Aren’t you supposed to be rescuing me?”His chuckle filled her mind and vibrated through her whole body. “That is the plan. I wanted to let you get some rest before I disturbed it.”She smiled and rolled over on the pillow. “You’re allowed to disturb me anytime you want. How much rest have you gotten?”His touch burned a trail down her back. She tried to snuggle back into it, but he wasn’t really there. She didn’t understand it. Usually, when they were in a dream together she could touch him. The only thing she could think of was he wasn’t truly asleep. “An hour, or as long as it took to fall asleep and be h

Shaking his head to clear the fog, Dom looked around and figured they’d landed where they wanted to be, in the grungy bathroom. Tess released his arm and held her hand over her lips. He nodded. She held up the transmitter and then pointed toward the window.He nodded again. She jerked her head toward the shower stall and it was then that the sound registered. “Jennah.”“You’re here? Just give me two seconds—this water feels too good to not grab a quick rinse.”He grinned and pulled his jacket off, and then his t-shirt quickly followed. Tess turned back from the window after securing the transmitter and raised her eyebrows at him as he undid his belt. He held his hand over his lips, much the same way she had done to him, and jerked his head toward the door. With a skeptical look on her face, she went over to the door and turned her back to him.

Dom stomped back over his tracks for the third time. If he didn’t hear from her in the next few minutes, he was going in regardless! Brody looked at him from the tree he stood leaning against.“You need to take it down a notch, Dom, your hostility is smothering all the oxygen in this area.”Dom glared at him and then looked down at the snow. “I’m trying. She should have contacted me by now.” Tess came through the trees and headed toward him. She looked tired. “You’re sure you’re rested enough to be in on this?”She frowned and ignored his question. “We have an SUV headed this way.” She kept the phone against her ear and looked at him.He nodded. “Jennah, we’ve got someone heading your way.”“I’m still in the hole.”“As soon as he’s inside, let me kn

Jennah stayed low in the snow. The trees were more than enough cover, but she was cold and starting to feel tired. She glanced over at Brody, who was looking at her.“You okay?”She nodded and looked back toward the cabin. “Where are they?”“In the bush. They’re heading somewhere. We just don’t know where.”She looked back at the cabin. “Where are your vehicles?” She turned to see him pointing in the opposite direction. “Okay.” She started to stand.He jumped up. “Where are you going?”She motioned toward the warden’s SUV. “I’m going to disable that so we can go get the car and go help.”He shook his head and cursed under his breath as he felt for the mic on his collar. “Tess, are you still on the west side.” He looked back toward the cab
Dreams Chapter 29 - From a Dream
Jennah watched Dom’s feet under the curtain that hung around the bed she’d been put in when they’d reached the hospital. She gave it five more minutes, and if the doctor or nurse didn’t go out and tell him she was all right, he was going to get even more agitated than he was.As if on cue, the curtain flew back and he stood there looking larger than life. The doctor looked up from the pages he’d been writing on, a very apprehensive look in his eyes. Jennah hid a smile behind her hand and met Dom’s eyes. “You’re scaring the medical professional that is checking everything but my shoe size.” “I don’t care. I have been standing on the other side of that damn curtain for almost an hour!” He returned his serious eyes back to the doctor.The doctor straightened away from the counter and turned to look at Dom. “Mister Pa
