in saving his sister. We were confident, based on the FBI’s recommendation, and those of Agent Reed, that the information from Morgan was reliable.”
    At the linking of his name and Morgan’s to the press, Tyler heard Morgan scream No! in his mind so loud and with such anguish that he actually grabbed his head from the pain. Sam’s hands clamped onto his arms, and he dragged him away from the crowd, down the street to their car. He couldn’t think for the searing pain and pressure in his head. It took several minutes for the pain to subside. He stopped Sam’s progress and turned back to city hall and Agent Davies trying to end the press conference.
    “I’ve got to go back. He’s got to be stopped. Didn’t you hear her yelling?” He shook his head to try to clear away the pain. The pressure in his head made his nose bleed. He swiped his hand across his face, smearing the blood more than removing it.
    “She didn’t want her name to get out to the press. She didn’t want anyone to know she was helping the FBI. Now everyone knows. They know she’s been working with me.” He rubbed at the sides of his head to try and ease the last of the throbbing ache.
    “She sounded so scared,” he said miserably.
    The press conference continued, and Janet James’s next question almost sent him to his knees.
    “I understand this psychic, Morgan, also directed the FBI and yourself to several of the ‘clients.’ In short, she named names. That’s quite a gift if she can link these men to the prostitution ring.”
    “Morgan provided several names of wealthy, well-connected men linked with the abducted women.”
    Detective Stewart implied the entire case had been built on Morgan’s predictions. If the public thought the FBI could charge these individuals with a crime based on a psychic’s word, the FBI would look like a laughingstock. This case was turning into a media nightmare, and Stewart fed the frenzy.
    Davies physically nudged Detective Stewart from the podium. Although it appeared he simply took up the space where Stewart had been, Stewart knew the score. The FBI replaced him again. Davies didn’t care and addressed the press and the gathering audience. He looked out across the faces to the rear and spotted Tyler and Sam well away from the crowd. Sam held Tyler up. He had a firm grasp on his upper arm and Tyler looked stricken. Blood ran down his face and onto his shirt. The worst possible situation, he wondered if Morgan would ever help the FBI again. He considered the number of cases that might go unsolved if she didn’t.
    “The FBI set up a sting and arrested the individuals participating in the solicitation of a prostitute. The individuals arrested, no matter their financial standing or personal connections in the community, were arrested based on the evidence and their breaking the law. We also freed the women from their abductors, and criminal charges have been filed against those individuals. Let me emphasize that the FBI, in conjunction with the SFPD, worked diligently to uncover the evidence to bring these criminals to justice. I would also like to inform you that while the FBI on occasion uses psychics to aid in an investigation of a case, they only play a small role. While Morgan provided the FBI with information, the FBI and police bear the responsibility to prove the charges.”
    Janet James, ever aware of the camera on her, gave her most serious look. “Agent Davies, please provide Morgan’s full name. I’m sure the public would love to know who this woman is and how she can pick names out of thin air and link them to criminal activity. It makes one wonder what other abilities she might possess.”
    “Neither the FBI nor the SFPD have any further comment about Morgan and her association with the FBI.”
    Before Janet James made any further comments or questioned him further, he thanked everyone for coming, stepped away from the podium, and went directly to the chief of police. He leaned into his
