Chapter Nine
Walt sifted through the papers in front of him once again, before he continued. "Well, I was able to speak to her captain and he faxed me copies of Laura's case files… The thing is, some of them are puzzling. There doesn't seem to be enough evidence for this case," he picked up one of the papers and showed it to Johnny, "yet, she was able to solve the case and put the suspect away. And that's not the only case that doesn't make sense. There are dozens more and to top it all off, I think the captain is hiding something from me. When he talked on the phone, he sounded distracted. It was as if he was trying to stray away from the subject."
"Well, what do you think is going on?" Johnny asked.
The sheriff shrugged. "I don't know, Jon. But, it's fishy. I still have more to go through, though."
"So, how is this supposed to help us find Laura?" It made no sense as to why Walt was telling him this if it wasn't going to help him get his cousin back.
"It doesn't. Yet. Hopefully we can find something in these other files." He let out a heavy sigh as he patted the medium-sized stack of papers he had yet to go through.
Johnny groaned loudly. "If I could only get a clearer vision! I feel as though something's blocking them though." He was now fed up with all of the cryptic bull. He roughly stood up and exited the kitchen.
"What are you going to do, Jon?" Walt asked, following his friend back to Laura's bedroom.
"I have to get a vision. I just have to." He ran his hands over a few of his cousin's belongings that were sitting atop of one of the dressers in the room. "Come on," he muttered. His hands were shaking as he felt the energy from her belongings. "Come on," he muttered again, this time more forcefully.
Laura stared in awe at the sight of the man standing above her. She couldn't believe this was happening. She was also so resourceful and could get out of these situations. But, this time was different. She could feel it. There was no use in trying to fight her way out. She had been trying for hours to break free from her binding. It was no use. She was in trouble and she needed help. It looked like Johnny was her only hope.
Her captor turned away from her as if thinking about what to do with her. This was her chance.
'Good,' she thought as she closed her eyes. 'Come on, Johnny.' She thought, deeply.
His hand brushed over her hair brush, which made him shudder as he was finally hit with a vision.
He was standing in the street, somewhere outside a large warehouse. A gun shot echoed in the air. Panic rose up inside of him as he rushed toward the origin of the sound.
He entered the warehouse to see a man in shadow, holding a smoking gun into the air. He was laughing hysterically as he lowered his arm to aim the gun at something on the floor. "It's too bad it had to end this way, Detective. I ratherenjoyed our little encounter." His voice became serious and cold. "But, you've interfered with my affairs for far too long."
Johnny saw as the man pulled the trigger. He watched as the bullet was pushed from the gun and it slowly paused in the air. He followed the direction of the projectile to a body lying on the ground. He saw the look of horror on the girl's face as the slug was only inches from her torso.
Johnny welled up with fear as the vision ended. Laura was in trouble. He needed to find her fast.
Yay, I finally update. Please readand review. I could really use the feedback.
