safe distance. Ambulance trucks and police cars had already arrived. The wounded were being tended to and tow trucks were beginning the process of removing the disabled vehicles.
    Alex regarded the destruction with a sense of horror. “This reminds me of what it was like working with you when you were just a consultant.”
    “Oh, please!” Josephine threw him a disgruntled gaze. “I never came close to doing anything like this. The most that ever happened was a few telekinetic shoves and blasts of wind.”
    “There was one time you threw me across the room so hard you bruised my back and gave me a mild concussion,” Alex said.
    “That wasn’t my fault. How many times do I have to tell you I’m sorry?” Josephine grumbled.
    “I’m not looking for an apology. I’m just making a comparison.”
    Josephine stretched her awareness out to the subtle energies in the street but avoided the stores. A jumble of psychic impressions flooded her mind. She narrowed her focus on the vehicles but there was too much psychometric energy around her to block out.
    “I need to get closer to these cars,” Josephine said.
    “All right,” Alex said.
    “We just need to walk by them.”
    Josephine strode down the sidewalk past the people who were waiting for their rides or just watching the devastation with varying degrees of fear and fascination.
    “What are you doing?” Alex asked.
    “I’m scanning the area.” Josephine slowed her pace then halted as she neared a blue sedan. The hood of the car was riddled with shattered glass from the windshield and the dashboard controls had exploded. A thin stream of smoke leaked out from beneath the hood and the dashboard. A young woman had her arms crossed over her chest in a defensive posture as she leaned against her disabled vehicle. She was short and looked to be in her late teens with long brown hair, and brown eyes. A thin, shallow cut marred her right temple and left cheek. She wore a brown polo shirt and jeans. Josephine turned to face the woman and approached her. Jake and Alex took up positions beside her and slightly behind her so she could take the lead.
    “Excuse me.” Josephine offered an amiable smile and flashed her enforcer badge. “I’m Enforcer O’Connor and these are Detectives Riley and Dietrich. I’d like to ask you a few questions about the phenomenon that occurred here.”
    “Okay.” The young woman adopted a guarded look and shifted her position as she continued to lean against her car.
    “What is your name?” Josephine asked.
    “I’m Yvonne.”
    “Last name?” Josephine tensed and prepared to activate her protection.
    “Boggs.”
    “I need to see your license and registration, please.”
    Yvonne’s eyes widened with apprehension but she composed herself.
    “All right. I have my driver’s license in my wallet.” Yvonne pulled it out and handed it over then fetched her registration from the glove compartment.
    “Thanks.” Josephine recorded the information in her notebook then handed them back. “What were you doing on the road?”
    “Driving around.”
    “Where were you going to?” Josephine asked.
    “I was heading down to Circinus. I work there part-time,” Yvonne explained.
    “It’s a very nice bookstore. Why don’t you work there full-time?”
    “I’m a college student. I attend classes on the Venice campus for the Florida State College.”
    “How long have you been a category six?” Josephine inquired.
    Yvonne flinched. “I’m a five.”
    “I’ve scanned your car. You don’t leave enough trace energy in your car to be read and you don’t have a privacy field. You’re a six.”
    “I’m probably a latent six. Most of them can’t be read,” Yvonne said.
    “That’s true but I’m going to have to insist that you be tested immediately. We’re taking you to the station,” Josephine said.
    “Wait!” Yvonne’s face clouded with panic. “Please don’t do that. I guess I am a six. It happened yesterday.”
    “You
