Thank God for my SEAL training.
CHAPTER 7
“Tellme if we need to go back.” Savanah glanced over her shoulder as they emerged from the water and took off running toward the concrete compound.
“I feel fine,” he said with a smile. “I bet our views could have merged as well.”
“Maybe.” She slowed as an image of Willow flashed across the building. “Did you see that?”
“Yep. It was part of my vision.”
“Anything else I should know about that vision?”
“No. It ended here,” he said.
“Wow. I can hear you both,” Willow’s voice boomed between her ears like a set of loud speakers.
“This is way too cosmic.” Savanah came to a stop about twenty yards from the building, crouching down behind a tree. Not that anyone could see her, but it made her feel better about being out in the open.
“This is giving me a headache,” Willow said. “So, I’ll be quick. I got a call from Hazel who said she had another vision about this building being blown to pieces at seven twenty-two this morning.”
“Did she see where the bomb was?” Chad asked.
“If you go in the far east door and into the cellar, it’s behind the furnace.” Willow’s image faded as her voice grew quieter.
“What are you thinking?” Savanah turned to Chad as the link to her sister disappeared.
“We need to split up. You find the men. I’ll find and disarm the bomb.”
“We can’t do that. First, you have to come back with me through my tunnel or you could be lost here forever.”
“According to Scottie, I shouldn’t be able to do this, so we really don’t know what risk there is, and maybe I can summon my caves.”
“Then summon them, just to make sure.”
He turned, planting his hands on his hips. “They are there.”
“If you’re lying to me, I’ll come back here and kill you myself.”
“Trust me, I don’t want to be stuck here.”
“Fine, but my other concern is how will you disarm the bomb. It took Brett a long time to take something back from a different plane.” She glanced at her watch. “We have time to go back and tell Scottie to just—”
“Without knowing where exactly the men are and the bomb is, Scottie won’t have time to make a plan that would ensure at least a fifty percent survival rate of more men.”
Movement on the right side of the building caught her attention. Five men, all armed with Uzis, appeared to be making some sort of security check around the compound.
“We go into the building together. We only separate if we have to,” she said.
“Let’s go.” He patted her shoulder and started running toward the building.
No matter how many times she’d viewed, she always felt exposed when out in the open inside a view. Realistically, her body wasn’t there. No one could see her, except for maybe a fewvery powerful psychics, which included Brett and Chad, but others might be able to sense her presence. If anyone thought she were there, or anyone like her, she feared for the men who were being held captive.
“Quick.” Chad reached back, taking her hand, which shouldn’t be possible either. She shouldn’t be able to feel his touch.
Together they scooted through the open door into a long, cold corridor. “This door faces north. We can communicate with each other. So, I’ll go find the bomb. You methodically search the rest.”
“I don’t like this one bit.”
