Chapter 25

Jess was getting frustrated as she threw down the latest notebook she had been writing down notes inside as she went through everything in her mind about her stay there as well as her past and any connections she might have with the two women that were still being held. Jess knew that her friends were worried about her, especially Colin. Getting married to each other was a big step, but they were both ready for this and Jess knew that after everything that had happened, Colin realizing how important they were too each other.

"Hey, why don't you try relaxing?" Nicole asked setting a cup of tea in front of Jess. "You know you have problems when you push yourself too hard when it comes to your visions, I have a feeling it would be the same for you if you were pushing memories and anything else you could think of."

"I know but those two women are in so much danger. I could feel their terror, see it in their eyes as they realized whatever they had been going through, was about to happen to either one of them or both of them, again." Jess said as she shuddered at the utter and complete horrifying terror worked over her whole body and mind, making her feel like she needed to hurry or that she was going to be the one that was hurt badly.

"Jess, I know it's hard to handle, but I promise you that we are going to do everything we can to find those women and bring these creeps to justice." Nicole said, knowing her best friend and partner was having a rough time of it.

"I feel like I failed them. How could I not see this? What could is having the ability that I have, if I can't help people who really need me right now? All those people I manage to find and when it's people who are in the hands of people who hurt me, I can't see anything that would be of any use." Jess said with tears in her eyes.

"Babe, you just need to relax. If you keep pushing it, you aren't going to get anywhere but back in the hospital and having a huge migraine." Colin said as he sat down next to her.

"I can't just sit there and wonder what is happening to those women. I was there, I was tortured by these creeps just like they were and I can't handle not being able to put this whole thing together and help them." Jess said as she slammed her hands on the table in front of her and got up and went into the bathroom, locking the door behind her. She leaned against the wall and looked into the mirror, and as she stared at herself it hit her, again.

Vision:

"Sh… they're coming again." The younger woman whispered.

"Just stay calm. I know it won't be long until the cops find us, they have to have a lead on these guys. Two women can't just disappear without someone seeing or knowing something and it probably helps that they took an FBI agent as well. That agent, Jess, she has to know how to find us, she has to find us!" Amelia said as she looked towards the door, panic written all over her face.

"What if there is nothing for them to find? There is no one out there who will miss me! There isn't anyone who is going to care about…" The young woman stopped as the man walked into the room again, the smirk on his face made it clear that there was going to be nothing but pain for the two women yet again.

"Please, leave her alone." Amelia begged them as they grabbed the younger woman.

The torture, the pain and the beatings started again. There was blood, there was pain and there was screaming. They were begging for them to just finish them off, they just wanted their lives ended so they wouldn't be in this much pain anymore.

End vision.

Jess was crying as she slid to the floor and brought her knees to her chest. The visions were not the same, she didn't understand why her powers were changing, why was she seeing these things like this? Usually she would only get clues she needed to put together that would allow her to find the people that were missing, so why had everything changed on her? She wished her powers would go back to normal, she wished she could see things the way she always had so she could find those women and put the men in jail.

Colin was worried as he glanced towards the closed bathroom door yet again. He rubbed the back of his neck as he turned back towards Nicole and Antonio were just as worried as he was. Colin knew that they had known Jess longer than he did and they could tell this was really starting to hurt her. Sometimes, as Nicole had informed him, Jess felt like it was her fault if her visions didn't give her the answers she needed to find the people that were missing quick enough or alive. Nicole had informed him that Jess always felt that she was the one who had to take the world on her shoulders and if she was the one who messed up then she was going to be in deep trouble.

"I don't know how to help her." Colin said softly.

"All you can do is listen to her and be there for her. She is probably going to have breakdowns over this and she is most likely going to really feel guilty because a part of her will always think that her visions are the key to solving everything and saving everyone." Nicole said softly.

Antonio looked between the two of them and then sighed as he looked up and saw Jess walking out of the bathroom and walking towards them. The three of them were staring at her pale face as she walked over to the table and sat down.

"They are being tortured again." She said softly as she started shaking.
