"Are you telling me that he can make me bark like a dog?", Nikola asked.
"She. It's a she, or at least that's what my contact told me and no, she can't make you bark like a dog unless you really want to" Helen pointed out.
"Helen, enlighten me please" Nikola said eager to know more about the abnormal they were after.
"Well basically she has the ability to see our deepest desire at one point and she can make suggestions to make us act to fulfill that desire."
"And the reason why she's being hunted is because…?"
"Because she uses some sort of mind control in her process of suggestion. Do you realize how could this affect people if those who hunt her manage to control the process and the information that are being sent to one's brain?"
"I got it, I got. We can't let the bad boys to catch her. But it seems to me like a job you could have handled very well alone. Why did you bring me with you, except the fact that I am irresistible and you like to stare at me?" Nikola asked with that usual smirk of arrogance on his face.
"The only reason I brought you with me it's because if I get somehow affected by the abnormal's power you have to take care of things. And that goes for you too."
"Couldn't she just control us both?"
"It's not control I've told you, in the worst case she can affect our ability to think and act objectively but her powers only work on a single purpose at a time."
"In that way one of us will always be sober, got it" Nikola completed.
"You've got any other questions?"
Tons of them, his mind replied. But he could not ask her just like that. He needed the right time and place. He needed the guts to let the words from his mind materialize.
"No…" he finally answered. "I guess I know everything I need to know."
His mind fell in meditation, his eyes were locked on the road. He didn't know everything he wanted to know. A strange curiosity and something else was bothering him, pushing him to the limit of asking Helen. But his self control was always winning this battle. He had been practicing self control ever since he was a child. He shook his head to shake the memories from the past that threatened to invade his mind. This was too painful to bear.
He slowly turned his head to Helen, contemplating her. Feeling his gaze locked on her, Helen turned and met Nikola's eyes. For a moment she managed to see over the barrier he has been building in the last century. For a moment his eyes showed a torment of feelings. But after that moment was gone, the arrogance smirk was back on his face.
"What?" she asked still trying to understand the complexity of his previous look.
"Is it going to take much longer to get there?" Nikola asked. "Not that I have a problem with being with you in a car, at night, trying to warm up ourselves…" he completed with a grin growing on his face.
"We'll be there in three minutes. Get ready." She replied trying not to think at Nikola's comment about warming up.
