"I think he's been out all night Ma'...his clothes is all damp an' he don't look well...he can't stand up on his own fer one...an' he looks real pale don't ya think..."

She said, already hurrying to fetch some of her daddy's clean clothes, him being about the same build as Luke, and some warm blankets.

Luke waited until she was out of sight before biting his lip and struggling to change clothes. He had never realized how much balance it took to pull on a pair of jeans. Eventually, e managed though and , with his wet clothes in a heap on the floor, he sat leaning his head back against the couch and closed his eyes, plumb worn out with the work of changing clothes.

Her mother looked over Luke who by now was sleeping restlessly. "He ain't goin' nowhere for a while... least not til he gets better. Last thing we need is a stranger nosin around..." she muttered to herself as she started to make some soup thinking that would be the best thing for the young man to eat, for her bark was much worse than her bite.

Jaimie sighed and went back to watching Luke sleeping, brushing a lock of hair back from his forehead a little. At 13, she was barely allowed a life of her own outside of school at all because of her 'gift' and her mother's controlling attitude. She knew her mother was frightened about people finding out about her, but she thought her self old enough now to be able to hide it by herself...she just wanted friends...that's why she snuck out so often...she was just glad her mum was distracted by the stranger who she had found...

Jaimie bit her lip and looked to the kitchen worriedly...she knew her mother had warned her against using it again...but what Luke was dreaming about could give them a clue to finding the one he was talking about.

Swallowing, she gently put her hand to Luke's head, palm down and closed her eyes, looking into Luke's mind and the nightmare he was seeing.

"He didn't do nothin'! It's me ya want... leave Bo outta it."

Harve shook his head. "We were told to hurt you... and I can't think of a better way than hurting baby brother." With that he knocked Bo to the cold cement, kicking him in the stomache.

"Bo!" screamed Luke trying with all of his might to get to Bo. "Stop..please..."

Bo landed with a sickening thud on the cold floor, crying out and wheezing in pain as he was kicked in the stomach, spitting up blood as he lay bound and shaking on the floor.

Jaimie covered her mouth, biting her bottom lip as she watched the scene before her, wanting so badly to pull out but she couldn't.
