Second Sight.

Ben Reynolds walked into the Lightman Institute to see Heidi sat staring at the computer screen. It seemed the office PA/Receptionist was lost in her own world.

"Hi." He paused. "Heidi?"

"Oh hi." Heidi smiled up at him. "Are you ok? I didn't realise we were expecting FBI today."

"No." Ben sighed. "I haven't got an appointment." Heidi frowned, knowing Ben would rarely turn up unless he was expected. Or something had happened. "Is Foster in?"

"Not yet. She was taking Laura to daycare. Emily and Dr Lightman will be here any minute. Loker has gone to get coffee and Torres is in a meeting about her sister. Wont be in until later."

"I really need to talk to Lightman and Foster."

"What's wrong?"

"You guys keep records right?"

"Yeah." Heidi nodded. "Of course we do."

"How far do they go back?"

"Ben, what is this about?" Heidi frowned as she watched her friend look away.

"As I said. I need to talk to Lightman and Foster."

Gillian waved to the toddler as she left the girl in daycare, knowing the girl would be well looked after but still hating the way she felt guilty about leaving her. She shook her head as she headed towards the car, knowing she had a full day ahead.

"Hi." She picked up her cell phone as she slipped into the car. "Heidi? I'm on my way." She frowned, not liking the way the younger woman sounded. She knew the woman well enough to know she was worried. What she didn't know was why. "What's Cal done?"

"Nothing." Heidi answered. "Please, just get here as soon as you can. Ben is here and needs to speak to you both."

"Ok." Gillian hung up, wondering what was so important Ben had asked Heidi to call her.

"Morning luv." Cal pushed the door to the Lightman Institute as Ben and Heidi turned to him. "Welcoming committee? What do I owe this honor? Emily, luv. Give us a minute."

"I work here now too." Emily sighed. Cal raised an eyebrow as the new office junior shook her head before walking away.

"Ben?"

"I need to talk to you and Gillian. Together."

"She wont be long, dropped the baby off by now." Cal frowned. "What is so urgent you turn up 'ere before we've got in the front door?"

"I'd rather wait until Gillian is here." Ben repeated. Cal narrowed his eyes.

"Well, I'm here. Traffic was awful. Ben? Cal?" She looked from one man to the other as Ben seemed more relieved to see her than he ever had before. "What is it?"

"Dunno Luv." Cal sighed. "He ain't said anything yet."

"Can we go in your office?" Ben asked, hoping Gillian would be the more sensible one.

"Tell me what is going on." Gillian decided she wasn't moving until she knew the facts. Her friend's body language radiated anger, fear and worry. She didn't like it.

"Do you remember a case? A few years ago, before you had Laura."

"We had a few cases back in the day." Cal rocked on his heels.

"This was a nasty one. A copycat, a serial attacker. Blinded women."

"He attacked me." Gillian spoke quietly. "I was still with Alec then. The divorce hadn't come through." She folded her arms across her chest as Cal watched her. He hated the way she closed herself off when she was scared.

"Gil?"

"I'm ok." She smiled sadly. "Bad memories."

"I know Luv. Wasn't my favourite time either." He touched her hand as she bit her lip. "What about it?"

"He's escaped. He's out. Paul is out and we think he's looking for revenge."
