“Everything’s good. The mayor is interested in what we’ve got. He wasn’t surprised to hear that Henry has been framing him. He said he heard bits and pieces from the two police chiefs about it, but Henry is keeping his cards close to his chest. He hasn’t said too much to anyone else about what he’s got. So we just need to make sure that the mayor moves first on the information on Ricardo,” Viktor said. “The mayor was surprised that Chen was bringing him information, but he said he appreciated the discretion and he agreed to use Chen for the duration. He said he had more work for Chen once this project was complete, just to keep anyone from getting too suspicious.”
“This works out well for Chen,” I said, smiling. It made me happy to see him doing well enough that he didn’t need to deal any longer.
“The mayor was going to take a look at what we have from the journalist about Henry and get back to us. Everything will come through Chen,” Viktor said.
“Did you two see the mayor today?” Adrik asked Misha and Andrei. They both nodded their heads. “Did you get anything from him? Good or bad?” “I didn’t feel anything bad,” Misha said.
“I didn’t either. I couldn’t see him when he was talking to Chen, which always gives me more accuracy. I didn’t feel anything off,” Andrei said. He glanced at me, tapping his temple discreetly, indicating he wanted me to look in his head again. When I looked, he showed me what he could see when the mayor was leaving after meeting with Chen. I could see his aura, but he also had dark spots, or holes. I suddenly had an idea. “Misha, come here,” I said, extending my hand to him.
“Who are we looking for?” Misha asked.
Sephic
“You’re not looking for anybody. F’m trying to show you something I want to and think of a blank movie screen,” I said, I grabbed Misha’s hand and tried but finally he saw it.
“Whoa! That’s what people look like to you?” Misha asked Andrei.
“Not all the time, but yeah,” Andrei said. it this will work. Don’t think about anything, if you can. Maybe try roject what Andrel could see into Misha’s mind. It took me a second,
“Holy shit, that’s awesome. Is everybody the same color?” Misha asked, complely enchanted by what he was seeing.
“No, different people have different colors. I’m not sure what the colors meat, to be honest,” Andrei said.
I let go of Andrei, then extended my hand to Ivan. “Squish, you’re next in my little experiment. Come here.”
“I think I know where you’re going with this, princess,” he said as he took my band.
Misha looked at me, confused. “Now what am I supposed to do?”
“I need you to replay what you just saw for Ivan,” I said.
“I can do that?” Misha asked, completely surprised.
“We’re gonna find out,” I said, grinning at him. He started to replay what Andei saw in his head. I could see it clearly right away, so I tried to push it to Ivan. I felt Ivan squeeze my hand, so I knew he was seeing what I was seen. Once I felt like he had the video clip in his mind, I let go of Misha to see if I could see what Ivan sees.
I saw the same short clip of the mayor, walking outside his house. His aura was visible, just like Andrei had seen, only now, I could see the outline of something else hovering just behind him. Wherever the mayor moved, it move with him.
I grinned at Ivan. “It worked,” I said. I looked back at Misha, asking, “want to see what Ivan sees?”
“Don’t ask st upid questions, gazelle,” he said as he took my hand. He was quiet for a minute, while he watched. I could feel Misha’s nausea as he saw what Ivan saw. “Is that what it always looks like?” he asked, still watching what I was projecting into his head.
“No, this one is actually faint. Some of them are really well-defined. This one doesn’t look firmly attached, either. Like it’s moving with the mayor, but it’s also hovering away from him. Some people have them literally sitting on them, or holding on to them,” Ivan said.
“Blink, Ivan,” Adrik thought. Ivan quickly shut his eyes. When he opened then again, he was normal.
“I can feel your nausea though, Misha,” I said.
Stephen stood up, walking to me. “Okay, I want to see. It might not work on in, but my curiosity is overriding my aversion to having you in my head,” he said.
“I want to see what Ivan sees, too,” Andrei said.
I grabbed both of their outstretched hands, trying to project the final picture to both of their heads.
“I’m reevaluating my entire existence now,” Stephen said. His eyes were wid he was watching what no one else in the room could see.
Andrei was quiet for a moment as he looked. I had stopped projecting, thinking he was done, but he said, “wait, no. Show me again.” Stephen dropped my hand, so Andrei grabbed that one too. When he did, I could see what he was focusing on. It was difficult to see, unless you were looking for it, but
