A/N: Thank you so much for the reviews and comments so far. I am excited about how this is coming out, and I wanted to make sure that I updated tonight as I may not be able to for a few days. Enjoy!


It didn't take them long to get to the accident site. There were plenty of people crowded around, watching the mess. There was a fire truck on site, and an ambulance parked quite close to the two cars. Audrey was struck by the obvious chaos of the scene. The police and emergency workers were trying to load a woman onto a stretcher and get her in the ambulance. She kept crying and screaming, quite terrified by what was going on. Audrey kept hearing her say, over and over, "Why can't I see?" There was another person, a little farther away on the road, a person that help was too late for.

Nathan was a seasoned officer of the law. He had seen many accidents and injuries, but there was something about this one. The cars were totaled, and the panic in the survivor's voice was heart wrenching. He and Audrey moved closer to the paramedics. There was so much debris in the road, they had to be careful where they walked.

Audrey was deliberate with her steps, she knew that everything had to be recorded for the investigation. With everything going on around them, for some reason, Audrey noticed the litter of a life that got unexpectedly interrupted. There were groceries and dry cleaning on the ground. She didn't know if they were thrown from the car when the impact happened, or if they were just tossed aside when the emergency workers were trying to extricate the victims from the cars. A little closer to the first car were several books, strewn over several feet. She snapped out of her reverie when she and Nathan reached the back door of the ambulance. The woman inside was calmer, just whimpering now instead of crying.

"Can we talk to her?" Nathan asked the paramedic. He didn't know this one, probably came aboard while he was in hiding from the Guard.

The paramedic shook his head, "We had to give her something to calm down, she was going to hurt herself, or us."

"She was saying something about her eyesight?" Audrey inquired.

He nodded, "Weird thing. She kept insisting that she went blind all of a sudden. She kept saying they were 'gone'. When I asked her what was gone, she said, 'her eyes'." He hopped up into the back of the ambulance. "Listen, we've got to get her going."

Nathan stepped back, allowing the door to close. After it drove away, he turned to Audrey. "That's three."

Audrey turned to look at the spectators ringing the area. "We're missing something." She paused. "I wonder if there is someone here that can answer questions, maybe someone noticed something."

They both took the better part of an hour interviewing all of the people, but most saw nothing. They had just come to see the show. One person told them that he was walking down the street when he saw the first car start to swerve back and forth. He stopped to watch, as he was shocked at the erratic driving. Suddenly, the car veered sharply to the left and ran right into the other car, without braking. "It was like they didn't see the other car, even though it was right there," the man said.

Nathan called the hospital and confirmed that the woman driving the car was in surgery, and would be for a while. "We need to start at the beginning and see what these three women have in common. Let's find out more about this one, and see if she worked at the high school."

Audrey agreed. "That'd be a good place to start."

They went back to the station, and things were more chaotic than usual with the accident and Molly still missing. They found out the name of the latest victim and discovered that she had absolutely no connection to the high school, not even a child that went there. She worked from home with some sort of computer based business. She seemed to be out running errands, they found a to do list in the purse that was recovered. Library, laundry and shopping were all crossed off. It looked like a perfectly normal kind of day.

Audrey's phone rang, and she answered, "Hi Duke, we're a little busy, what's up?" She stood up sharply and motioned to Nathan. He came right over and listened.

"When?" she asked. "We're on our way right now. Don't panic. Keep her calm." She listened for another moment, and started walking to the door. Nathan followed without question.

When she hung up the phone, they were already part way across the main room of the station. "Jennifer can't see."

Nathan was taken aback. "What?"

"It started moments before Duke called. She was just helping him at the Gull and she dropped tray of glasses. When he walked over to see what had happened, he found her scared to death and saying that she couldn't see anything."

"We need to find this Troubled person. This is getting closer together," Nathan said.

Audrey nodded.


They drove to the Gull in record time to find Duke and Jennifer in the back. He had his arms around her, comforting her. She was quite upset. Audrey quickly crossed the room and went to her. "Jennifer," she said softly.

Jennifer turned her head to the sound of Audrey's voice. "Audrey?" she said shakily.

"I'm here and so is Nathan. The first thing I want you to know is that you are the fourth person in the last 24 hours that we have seen like this. And two we know for sure got there sight back in a short time. The third we don't know because she was in a car accident and is in surgery. But, I'm guessing her sight will be fine, too."

Jennifer swallowed. "Okay, Duke told me that, but it feels good hearing it from you also. Do you know why this is happening?" She sat more upright, but she didn't let go of Duke's hand, and he didn't move his other arm from around her shoulders. He seemed very protective, Audrey would have smiled under different circumstances.

"We don't yet. We haven't connected the dots enough to find whose Trouble this is," she said.

"We're hoping you can help us with that," Nathan added.

"What can I do?" Jennifer asked.

"Can you tell us where you have been today? Any people you talked to?" Audrey inquired.

Jennifer thought for a moment. "I was here for a chunk of the morning, but then I went into town for a little."

"Where in town?" Nathan asked.

"I went to the shop with the salt water taffy, went to the library and went by the Herald. I'm hoping to get a job there," she explained.

"What is it?" Duke asked, looking at Audrey's face. She had that look where the puzzle pieces were starting to fall into place.

"The library," Audrey said.

"Library?" Nathan echoed.

"Or just books," Audrey explained. "The first woman was reading. The woman in the car accident had books in her car, I remember because they were all over the road. Her errands list had the library on it. What do you want to bet that the chemistry teacher had gone to the library prior to the accident?"

"That would explain the lack of overlap in financial activity," Nathan commented. He turned to Jennifer. "What did you do at the library? Did you talk to anyone there?"

Jennifer thought for a moment. "No one really, just the librarian. I was getting a library card."

"A librarian would come into contact with the patrons. What did you talk about?" Audrey asked.

"Now that you mention it, I remember she was pretty agitated. She was talking about the missing little girl. She kept saying that it was bad, bad for her to be missing," Jennifer answered.

"We've got to get to that library and talk to her, she may be our Troubled person," Audrey told Nathan, standing. She addressed Jennifer again. "Did you get her name?"

"Sara," Jennifer replied.

"Sara Heron," Duke said to Nathan. "Doesn't she work at the library?"

Nathan nodded, "That's interesting."

"What's interesting?" Audrey asked.

Nathan looked at her, "Sara Heron was kidnapped when she was little. They never found the guy. She was held in a house on the outskirts of Haven. She was found wandering the streets back in '87. When they finally tracked back to where she was being held, they found out who ever had her had been keeping her in a small room under a staircase."

"In the dark," Duke said.
