Ch. 14

Jess opened her eyes and looked around her. Part of her hoped that everything that had happened would only be one horrible vision but she quickly learned that wasn’t the case. She bit her bottom lip as she studied Amelia and the other female, they were both still out of it. She turned her attention to the room, trying to find anything that would help her figure things out and maybe help her plot an escape. When she quickly realized she couldn’t see anything useful she tried to struggle out of her binds and sighed when she realized it really was no use. She had to rely on her friends back at the FBI to get her out of this situation without her visions.

Colin groaned as he stared at the different things the computer had spit out at them. It was making it clear that there were just to many things that Jess’s visions could mean. Without Jess there to tell hem which one made the most sense to her they were pretty much screwed.

“You have any idea where to start?” Colin asked as he threw a piece of paper down on Nicole’s desk.

“Not a clue.” Nicole said shaking her head. “It’s almost as if her visions were just there because she was trying to force them.”

“So she forced herself to have visions and they had nothing to do with what was really going on?” Antonio asked confused.

“That’s almost what it seemed like.” Nicole said shrugging her shoulders.

“But her visions included a missing woman, a vision she had before we knew she was missing.” Colin pointed out.

“I know, that’s what I don’t understand. There has got to be something going on that we don’t know about yet.” Nicole said biting her lower lip. “Maybe this has to do with Jess and not with a case.”

“So we need to dissect every vision she had connected with the case and see if it has any connection to her?” Antonio asked.

“Basically.” Nicole nodded her head as she grabbed a pen and a pad of paper. “Let’s get to work, we have a missing agent to find.”

Jess woke up a second time and looked around. She wasn’t sure what had happened but she felt her head pounding and figured she must have been hit in the head. She glanced at the two other women in the room and then realized they weren’t there. She sucked in a deep breath and looked around, confused. This wasn’t the same place that she had been at earlier, and she wasn’t tied up in a chair she was chained to a wall. She felt the chilly air around her and realized she wasn’t in a house, it seemed more like a basement. Now she was really confused, she had no clue what was going on.

Nicole was getting frustrated as she threw down her notepad. There was no word yet on Jess and none of her visions made any sense. She tried to get into contact with her mother but there was no answer. At this point she figured there was nothing she could do but hope that someone here recognized something in the notes of Jess’s visions.

“Why didn’t I listen when she talked about her personal life? Why didn’t I find out more about her, about her past?” Nicole asked more to herself than to the three other people sitting in the room. She could tell that everyone was asking themselves that same question.

“Where do we go from here? We have been through these visions with fine tooth combs and there is nothing in here that is standing out to us.” Antonio said frustrated.

“There has to be something that is right in front of our face and is just being overlooked.” Pollack spoke up.

“What if we looked at Amelia’s personal life? Maybe there is a hidden connection between the two of them.” Antonio suggested.

Jess was struggling to stay conscious when a man walked into view. He stopped and stood in front of her with a smirk on his face. Jess knew this man in the back of her mind but at the same time she couldn’t remember him. She struggled with her mind but it kept flashing with visions of a field and a scarecrow, nothing that would help remember this man. She tried pulling at the chains but she was feeling way to weak. Groaning she looked at the man closer and when she still couldn’t place him she figured this was someone she hadn’t really met but still knew.

“What…” Jess started to talk but her throat and mouth were dry. She struggled to form the words she wanted to say but they wouldn’t come out. Where were the other two women? Why were they separated now of all times.

“What?” The man snarled with a smirk. “You want to know what you are doing here?”

Jess could only nod her head as a feeling of dread overcame her. She wasn’t sure she really wanted to know where this was going but she figured she would find out soon enough.

“This isn’t about you agent, it’s about someone else. I can’t give you the details yet, because they won’t let me but trust me when it’s time for you to die, you’ll know.” The man said angrily as he slammed his fist into her jaw and Jess knew no more.

Nicole looked up as Pollack dropped an address on the desk in front of her. She arched an eyebrow but she didn’t need to ask. She slowly got to her feet and headed towards the door to get Antonio and Colin. Whatever was at this address might lead them to wherever Jess was being held and that was important. She glanced at the two men who were typing things into a computer and when she caught their attention she nodded towards the door and held up the slip of paper. They both grabbed their coats and followed her out of the building. This might be the break they were hoping for.
