SNEAK PEEK CHAPTER
Please excuse any typos or formatting issues.Fear swept over me, demolishing my internal protective wall. Before that moment, I would’ve said that the worst that could happen at an awards banquet was boring speeches. I gripped the arms of my chair, surveying the room while I tried to remain otherwise still.I need to stay hidden. I can’t be found out. Not until I finish my plan.“Doc, are you alright?” Daniel Trawl, sitting next to me at the round table, whispered his question.When my gaze found my assistant’s, the concern in his hazel eyes grounded me, helping me realize that the thoughts and emotions I experienced weren’t my own.“Sarah? How can I help?”I took several deep breaths, concentrating on the lingering peppery scent of the cacio e Pepe main course, and willing my racing heart to slow. My internal protective wall was in a shambles and I needed to calm down to build it back. As a clairempath, my wall was the only thing keeping the physical and emotional experiences of others—human and, especially, supernatural—from subsuming me. I closed my eyes to focus inward on each crumbled stone block, first reassembling the bricks and then floating them upward to recreate the wall. When I no longer heard my heartbeat thundering in my ears, I paused. Choosing to leave a tiny hole in the protective wall, I opened my eyes and turned to Dan.“Doc? What happened?” he asked.Instead of answering, I stood. My inherent clumsiness chose that moment to surface. I wobbled on my sensible heels and my leg rocked the table, sloshing merlot in glasses just refilled by the circulating waitstaff.“Is everything okay, Sarah?” My former boss, Jeffrey McCarthy, asked the question from his seat opposite me at the round six-top table. The ex-private investigator was also an ex-athlete, and his tall, full frame—if soft with age—dwarfed his petite wife, Chrissie, sitting beside him.I gave a quick shake of my head, offering an uncertain smile. “I need to borrow Dan for a second. Make sure they leave me a dessert if someone comes by.”The other couple at the table chuckled before returning to their conversation. But not Jeff nor his wife. Jeff moved to stand, but Chrissie placed her hand on his tuxedo-clad arm and leaned over to whisper in his ear. Probably telling him to let me handle it. I smothered a smile; it was second nature for him to want to help. After all, he retired from the business I now ran. But if there was an issue, they knew I could manage it.And there was definitely an issue. I turned from the table, traversing the other six-tops scattered throughout the ballroom. We were in a swanky hotel in Dallas, Texas, for the annual meeting of the National Association of Detectives. Even better, tonight’s black-tie event was an awards banquet. Among the accolades, the association honored Jeffrey with a Lifetime Achievement Award. Given the heart troubles that resulted in a retirement he hadn’t wanted, this was a crowning accomplishment in his illustrious career.I scanned the crowd of well-dressed guests while I moved toward the spike of fear that pulsed against the tiny hole I’d left in my protective wall. Someone in this room was experiencing an off-the-charts level of fear, worry, and anxiety.Unless there was a supernatural boost.Something I was uniquely qualified to identify as a Supernatural Specialist. When I took over Jeff’s investigative service—and Dan’s A Doctor Danger Mystery blog blew up—it made perfect sense to offer niche services combining my supernatural abilities and expertise in comparative mythology. So far, business had been booming for my Tampa-based consulting service.I resumed scanning the room for the elevated emotions, while probing for a supernatural element. The emotional and physical drone of the crowd undulated in my mind like the waves created in a theme-park pool.There.On the far end of the room, just inside the main entrance to the banquet hall. I found the source of the emotion I was feeling. The woman wore a flowing red dress that, while lovely, was understated for black tie. I doubted she was an invited guest. Her head darted around, frantically scanning the room much as I had earlier.Her brown eyes met my green ones. A cautious smile flitted across her face. She moved toward me and Dan as we redirected our movement toward her, each assessing the other upon approach. Taller than me, even in my heels. Long, curly hair like mine, but dark brown, where mine was auburn.“Doctor Danger? Doctor Sarah Danger?” she asked with a slight Mexican accent.“Yes,” I answered, fear building again within me. We’re running out of time. But for what?The woman grabbed the sides of my arms.“Hey!” Dan exclaimed and reached to remove her hands.She leaned to whisper in my ear. “I need your help before someone else vanishes.”Like what you've read?
