Third Eye P.I. Chapter 44: Nightmares
She stood, confused, the darkness surrounding her. Frantic, she spun, searching for light until she lost her balance and fell to her knees. She couldn't see anything, but she knew she needed to keep searching. She needed to find a way out. Fast. He'd be back. Evil assholes like him always came back. She'd be waiting. This time, he wasn't going to surprise her. Tears burned her eyes, her heart pounded fiercely in her chest, but she kept on. The floor seemed to never end. She couldn't find the door, and there wasn't a single piece of furniture. There was nothing but wood floors and walls. She slid her hands along the walls, feeling for the crack of a door frame or window but couldn't find one. The room was a giant box.It's no use. There's no way out. She curled up into a ball on the floor, determined to wait. Suddenly the roof opened up, and she was blinded by a light that was shone directly at her eyes. She saw what looked like a ladder drop and could make out the outl

"Come in, Daniel," she said, dreading what was about to go down.Daniel walked in, looking all business. "We finish this, tonight. Get Eryn and everyone out of here. I just want your van visible. He'll be here soon." Cassie nodded and jumped out of bed. She raced down the hall and found Eryn and Jack on the couch watching a movie. "You have to leave. Take both your vehicles and go. He's coming. Daniel will be here. It's okay," Cassie assured Eryn who gaped, vehemently shaking her head. "Where are Ben and Kali?" "They went into the city for dinner," Eryn said.From behind Cassie, Daniel spoke up. "Do you have a storm cellar or basement that can only be accessed with a ladder?" Cassie stared at him in disbelief. How did he know about the cellar? How did he know it was happening here? She didn't even know that, until now."Barn One. The barn on the left. It's in the furnace room." Eryn looked at Cassie with concern in her eyes. Cassie nodded her assurance."Get Kali and B

Excruciating head pain forced her eyes open. She was in the cellar, but there was plenty of light and people bustled around her. She heard Eryn's voice but couldn't make out her words.Moaning, she tried to move but everything hurt. She rolled onto her side, and her eyes locked on Dillon's cold baby blues that stared blankly into hers. Shrieking, she squirmed away. Eryn had her. "Shhhh. It's ok. He's dead," she assured Cassie, holding her close."Can she walk?" Daniel shouted. Cassie shook her head, trying to squirm further away. She needed to get as far away from the body as possible. Eryn helped her to her feet, and it was then that she noticed Randy on her other side. Daniel busied himself tearing up floorboards. She stared absently around the cellar as everything slowly came into focus. The shock of it all hit her full force, and she collapsed into Randy's waiting arms. He lifted her up and carried her to the ladder."You need to do this part, Sugar." He set her down bu

Silken black tendrils danced in the breeze, whipping strands along his neck as Gunner galloped across the beach. Waves crashed against his hooves and splashed a combination of water and sand into the air, spraying Cassie's face and soaking her clothes. Hugging her legs to him, she strained to maintain their grip on his drenched torso. She squinted against the scratchy invasion of saltwater and sand in her eyes and turned her gaze towards the ocean. One long, golden ribbon of sunlight spread across the horizon and glimmered like spun gold falling off the edge of the world, and then just like that, stars appeared, blanketing the heavens with a diamond-like glow. As they raced into the burgeoning night, dread delivered promises of doom, and her body tensed with unease. An unknown desperate urgency prompted her to increase their speed, and the need for answers egged her on. She had to hurry. The reason for haste seemed to be a blur in her mind, but she knew the answers were within reach

"Stop thinking about Dillon." Eryn sighed, annoyed. "No wonder you're having dreams about him. You need to lock that shit up and forget all about it.""I can't help it. I'm scared." A single tear escaped her eye, but she bitterly batted it way. "I swore I wouldn't shed another tear for that prick, yet here I go again.""I think it's more the fear of being caught than sadness for Dillon," Eryn spat his name as though it were poison. "No one is going to prison for that bastard. I promise you. Just keep your shit together, and your mouth shut, and everything will work out just fine."Keeping her shit together wasn't even a remote possibility, but no matter what, she had to keep her mouth shut; there was too much at stake, for everyone involved. Still, the shit storm of recent events couldn't easily be pushed aside. Cassie struggled to recuperate from what went down, and Eryn's casual acceptance pissed her off, like the fact that they covered up a murder didn't mean anything. N

The Cassie's mood darkened as they flew over Regina, Saskatchewan, preparing to land. The leafless trees and dreary, autumn, prairie landscape signified the state of her world, reminding her of the death she played a hand in. Gloomy, dark clouds plastered the sky, smothering the already setting afternoon sun. It was hard to believe that yesterday they had been in a sun-filled paradise. As the plane landed, Eryn took Cassie's hand and gave it a supportive squeeze. They hadn't spoken much on the plane, each too absorbed in the potential fates that awaited them. Like the awesome friend she had always been, Eryn gave Cassie her space. They found Eryn's truck and drove straight from the airport to see Cassie's parents. As they climbed the stairs to the condo, John and Margo Woods whipped the door open, and Margo rushed forward to lovingly welcome Cassie and Eryn into her arms. After releasing a sigh of relief, Cassie gently inhaled her mom's lite vanilla scent. She relaxed into her

Cassie stood in front of the bathroom mirror, frowning at her haggard reflection. Her attempts to brush the dull out of her just-longer-than-shoulder-length hair didn't do a thing to liven it up. Raising her hands, she patted the bags under her tired, bloodshot eyes, and her frown deepened. When did she get so tired? At thirty-years-old, she looked, at most, twenty-five on a good day. Today, she looked like forty was just around the corner. Shrugging, she forced a smile, consoling herself with the fact that at least she had a hot, well-toned body that any forty-year-old would envy. A solid, uninterrupted sleep was all she needed to return to her normal self. Exactly what her normal self was, she couldn't say, but she intended to get there, somehow.After a quick shower, she snuggled into bed and waited for her dad to come in. He finally arrived and plopped himself down on the bed beside her, leaning back against the headboard. She listened to him, without interrupting, mesmerized

Alone with her thoughts, she settled into bed and stared into the darkness, considering her options. There were plenty of questions to choose from, but she couldn't stop thinking about Ben. Her brief affair with him left her reeling and contemplating the possibility that their casual hookups could morph into something deeper. He had a way of making her feel as though everything was going to be okay, but before anything serious happened between them, she had to know if he was the father of his ex-girlfriend Kali's unborn baby. Eryn had asked her to call on a dream to find out, and Cassie had balked at the notion because what happened between Ben and Kali wasn't her business. Not really, even if she did have a sexual relationship with him. Given the fact that Kali cheated on him, wouldn't Ben want to know? But Ben didn't know about Cassie's gift, so how would she tell him if he wasn't the father or if he was? Should she even tell him? Should she even be thinking about this?An

Third Eye P.I. Chapter 107: They Love Each Other
Margot Woods whipped open the door and beamed before yanking Cassie into a mama-bear hug to beat all hugs. Cassie went limp in her arms as Randy chuckled at the exchange."My sweet girl," Margot cooed as she pulled from her embrace. "I've missed the dickens out of you.""I've missed you too, Mom." Cassie giggled, reached for Randy's hand, and followed Mom inside. They entered the living room where her father was seated, and Mom disappeared into the kitchen. Cassie scanned towards the kitchen and then the dining room, looking for Sara and Greg. She had been dreading this encounter, but Randy forced her to put on her big girl panties and face them. So here she was. Baby steps.Sara's laughter could be heard from outside. Cassie moved to the sliding doors to the backyard and stared out through the glass as Randy moved in behind and kissed the back of her head. The scene before them was like something out of a mushy Hallmark Christmas movie. A young couple laughing and throwing
Third Eye P.I. Chapter 106: Clean Sweep
Focused on work, the hours passed. Again, voices from out front caught Cassie's attention although she hadn't heard the door chime. She stepped out into the hall and almost fell over with shock. Sara stood in a small circle with Daniel and Karly. She spoke quietly while holding Karly's hand and resting another on Daniel's arm.They appeared engrossed in whatever she was saying. Nothing about the conversation seemed hostile, so Cassie quietly backed into her office while briefly catching her sister's eye. It looked as though Sara had it handled. Cassie knew it wasn't her business and hoped it would stay that way.A few minutes later, Sara knocked and then entered the office. Cassie noted a sense of peace on Sara's face that could be attributed to the 'cleaning of house'."I've put everything to right, except for Greg," she sniffed as if trying not to cry. "I've tried, but I just can't find the words. And how do I explain my gift or your gift or dad's or all of it?"Cassie shrugg
Third Eye P.I. Chapter 105: Case Closed
By noon, they arrived at the office, ready to roll. Feeling safe, Cassie and Randy strolled hand in hand through the front door in broad daylight. Gone was the sense of doom. Gone was the man who wanted her dead. Karly rose from her place at the front desk and greeted them with a smile. Her brown bob framed her face which held a lovely glow. "Welcome back. You must be relieved that Bolton's under house arrest," she said, her eyes conveying concern for Cassie. Karly didn't know that Bolton took his life the night before, and neither did Daniel, unless his precognition revealed the truth. They had no way of telling Karly without giving up Randy's initial intent or Daniel and Cassie's abilities, so Randy and Cassie agreed to just let it all play out.Cassie grinned with relief. "It's definitely good to know he'll have a difficult time taking another shot at us."Daniel appeared next, moving down the hall towards them. He smiled and nodded a hello as if all was well in the world. He
Third Eye P.I. Chapter 104: Retribution
Cassie rose early and with Mooch in tow, headed straight to the barn. Overnight a blanket of fresh fluffy snow covered the slush by at least two feet, but the still air defied the evidence of last night's blizzard. The silence was amazing. She paused, closed her eyes, and inhaled a long slow calming breath. The cool morning air flushed her cheeks, but she welcomed the feeling, she welcomed the prairie chill that ripped through the fabric of her jacket. She was alive. Bolton was gone and she could really live again. As she continued towards the barn, she noticed a spring in her step, and her body didn't feel rigid with worry. She fed the horses and then took Mooch for a walk around the property.She imagined a check list of things to deal with and crossed off Bolton's name. Immediately below his was Melody. Crazy, bonkers, completely unbalanced, Melody. The only person left wandering around that hated Cassie with a passion fueled by serious imbalance.What would Bolton's de
Third Eye P.I. Chapter 103: Calling the Dream
Cassie took Mooch to bed. They snuggled in and she took comfort stroking his ears. He was asleep in seconds, but she lay awake wondering.Sleep was a touchy subject for her, but tonight she intended to utilize her abilities, to gain some insight into Bolton's death. She needed to know if he did indeed kill himself, and if so, why? It just didn't make any sense. She could see it, if he had finally exacted his revenge and killed her, as a way of escaping prison, but before he got to do the deed? No. She just couldn't accept it.Closing her eyes, she focused, relaxed, drifted: Mist surrounded her, the blinding kind, so she knew she was close. Within seconds it began to clear, and she could take in her surroundings. Bolton entered his home through the front door and walked straight passed her as she stood in his living room unnoticed. He dropped a backpack on the dining table, left the room for a minute and returned with a pen and paper in one hand and a handgun in the other. Focused o

Eryn fired up the truck, laid her foot on the gas, and they sped from the yard. "You're up," she said. "Where to? I'm not sure if I want to know but what did you see?""It was Randy, he's going to shoot Bolton and kill him." The words tore from her mouth like a dagger to the heart. "I can't believe he'd do this.""Jesus," Eryn hissed. "Do you know when? Where?""I saw this while awake and the last time that happened it was an immediate thing. We need to go to the city, to Bolton's house, to try to stop it, but I think it's too late." "Why would he do that?" Eryn said. "I mean, Bolton was busted lighting fire to his house and yours, he was going to jail." Cassie remained silent, but she could feel Eryn's suspicions grow in the awkward air that surrounded them. "Spill, lady."Sighing, Cassie shook her head. She literally couldn't keep anything from Eryn, so she said, "I had a dream that Bolton planned on shooting me, and Daniel confirmed, saying he had the same dream.""Oh,
Third Eye P.I. Chapter 101: Rogue
Twenty-four hours of cyber stalking, mini-naps, and watching the tag on Bolton's car go to his place of work, Thomas Tire and Auto, and then home, felt like a lifetime. With an ankle monitor on, Bolton lead a boring existence, but so far, he'd adhered to the court mandated restrictions. They caught a break in surveillance thanks to a buddy of Randy's at the station who provided them with Bolton's work schedule that he submitted for monitoring. Randy thought he'd have the poison figured out by tomorrow and would plant it while Bolton was at work.The plan was falling into place. It was a shaky plan that Cassie wasn't comfortable with and poison seemed ridiculous and obvious. A gun to the head, that made sense, but Randy though it was too loud, messy, and hard to wash their hands from it. Like a caged animal, Cassie was sure as she paced the floor of their room that if she didn't get out of the hotel soon, she'd lose what was left of her mind."So," Cassie drawled. "We gotta kick
Third Eye P.I. Chapter 100: The Plan
Cassie drifted back in the sofa and dropped against the cushions, tipping her head back to stare at the ceiling. Stunned wasn't enough of a word to describe watching your sister make a man forget he impregnated her. It was beyond bonkers. But it happened. It was epic, and as far as Cassie was concerned, terrifying. The implications of Sara's new gift were off the charts."We need to undo what she just did," Cassie blurted out."What's that now?" Daniel asked, clearly confused by her statement.She swung her head on the cushion to address him. "Seriously? You don't remember? It's the reason you're even here." Cassie eyed him as if he might say otherwise, but everyone in the room except Daniel knew the truth.Daniel laughed and then gaped at Cassie as if she were insane. "What are you on about, Cassie?" Daniel's genuine look of confusion was all they needed to know. With very little effort, Sara had wiped him clean. The sinking feeling in Cassie's chest returned, and she fough

The door to the room opened and everyone filed in. Dad rushed to greet Cassie with a hug, and Cassie looked towards her sister who stood off to the side, arms crossed, eyebrow arched, looking as if she anticipated an apology.Randy offered Sara a chair and she took it, looking uneasy. Cassie eyed her perfect bombshell sister. Sara looked amazing, rocking her almost pregnancy figure with a cute grey maternity sweater and jeans. She glowed, radiantly, and Cassie was sure she had never seen her sister look so beautiful. "So, what's so important that you just had to see us?" Sara asked not even trying to disguise the fact that she felt put out.Dad pulled away, noting Cassie's worn appearance, and turned to address Sara. "There is much to discuss, Sara. I need you to promise to listen carefully to all that is said. Do you trust me?""I mean, you've only been my dad for like five minutes." she said, eyeing Cassie for confirmation so Cassie nodded. "I guess," Sara said. The fact
