Linda said, “Since we’re
both being honest with each other…I believe I should also tell you about my attack
on Friday morning by a masked swimmer. I had swum out too far by myself. Luckily, Todd was there to jump into the water to
scare away this person and save me from being drowned.”
“Did you see who the
attacker was?”
“No…but it appeared to be a
big strong man, who seemed very intent on drowning me.”
“How did Todd happen to be
in both places at the exact times that you needed help?”
“I don’t know,” replied
Linda. “He always seems to know when I’m in trouble.”
“He’s almost
superhuman—just like Sam. For instance, just last night I found myself balanced on ledge of the church’s bell
tower. Fortunately, Sam found me and not some stranger.”
“Why on earth would you
climb to the top of a tower if you’re terrified of heights? And why would you think of jumping? You’re
not suicidal or depressed? Are you?”
“No, of course I’m not!
Somehow…but I can’t figure out how…I’d been hypnotized. I don’t even remember climbing up there. I
would never climb to the top of a tower—even in the daylight. But this was much
worse—this was the middle of the night when it was dark outside with strong
winds blowing. It was much more than just sleepwalking. When I heard Sam’s voice
calling me, I woke up to find myself balanced on the narrow ledge.”
“These awful events can’t
all be coincidences. Maybe we were supposed to be have been killed or scared off even before the deadly party.”
“There has to be some kind of pattern to all
these supposedly random events. Let’s start doing some research on our own.”
Linda said, “Come to my apartment and we can begin
right away.”
