Isabella put her hands in front of her, staring at them as if she could actually see blood running between her fingers and dripping onto the floor.
The room grew icy cold and Georgette longed to bolt and run away, but something held her. “Did you ignore the gift and let someone die, Momma?”
“It doesn’t matter. The past can never be undone. Tell me about this man who first caused the images to appear.”
“His name is Tanner Harrison. He’s a truck driver, I think. He doesn’t have a criminal record. I checked. But I have this feeling that he’s not leveling with me.”
“You must be careful, Georgette. Be very, very careful.”
“Then you think he’s dangerous.”
“All I know is that sometimes when the images are so strong that they won’t let you go, the danger can reach out for you, too.”
“What should I do, Momma? Please. You must tell me.”
“Talk to this man. Spend time with him, and go where the images lead you.”
“Are you saying I should go into a swamp and look for her?”
“It might help. All I know for certain is that you must let the visions guide you. Follow them, but don’t let your guard down. Not for a second.”
The tiny kitchen seemed to be closing in on Georgette, and she hated that she was here, that she was talking of spells and curses and psychic visions. Hated that her insides were tumbling around and making her nauseated. Hated that she’d been sucked back into a life she’d tried so desperately to escape. “I don’t want to talk about it anymore.”
“You’re right. I’ve probably said enough for now.”
Even Isabella seemed relieved to let the subject drop. Georgette drank her tea, then said a hurried goodbye. If she were half-smart, she’d go back to her office, bury herself in her work and not give any more thought to the blond woman in the swamp. She’d pretty much convinced herself to do just that when she turned on the radio and heard the latest news.
A young woman’s body had been pulled from the Mississippi River in Plaquemine Parish. She’d been identified as Simone Billings, a prostitute who’d been listed by her friends as missing a month ago.
…her blood will be on your hands.
Isabella’s warning echoed in Georgette’s mind as a new plan formed in her mind. Swerving into a U-turn, she headed toward Tchoupitoulas Street and another visit with Tanner Harrison.
