Trooper Darren McAllister was on pins and needles as he trailed the mysterious Explorer. Just a few more miles, and they would hit the Maryland state line where, he had been told, the federal boys would be waiting to take over this highly unusual assignment. Then he could go back to pulling over speeders and make his monthly quota.

They were a quarter-way across Chain Bridge, and Jed was reasonably sure they were not being followed. Eli sat in the middle, sniffing and wiping his eyes and nose; Dave, riding shotgun, was as stiff as a board and kept glancing in the side-view. Jed rolled down his window, swerved briefly into the oncoming traffic lane, and heaved his pistol out. It sailed over a tall metal guardrail and disappeared into the darkness toward the Potomac River below.

She was standing at the foot of a green hill beneath a brilliant blue sky. At the top of the hill there was a swingset. A figure was on one swing, swinging back and forth. There was joy in the swinging; a carefree happiness that drew her upward.

“So, you’re willing to have the echo, huh?” Dr. Goodwin strode into the conference room, a rolled sheaf of papers sticking out of one pocket of his doctor’s coat, a freshly lit cigarette hanging out of the corner of his mouth.
He smiled, pumped Jed’s hand and gave him a pat on the back. “Howya doing, Jed?--no need to get up. You don’t mind if I smoke, do you?” Without waiting for an answer he stepped over to Eli, who had turned away from the window toward him, and shook his hand, too. “Good to see you, kid.”

“Good morning. Markle, Regan & Walsh.”
“Hi. I’m trying to reach Roger Carson.”
“One moment, please.” Jed was placed briefly on hold. Then a new female voice, this one somewhat older and carrying a haughty, british accent, came on.
“Mr. Carson’s office. May I help you?”
“Hi. My name’s Jed Inverness. I need to speak with Roger.”
“Does he know why you’re calling?”
“No. I’m a neighbor of his. I need a little legal advice.”

Jed felt completely exhausted as he and Eli climbed into his chilly pickup truck. It was quite late, and he made no effort to suppress an unhappy yawn as he put on his belt and Eli snapped in next to him. Because of what Eli had said about going away, he was dreading the ride home.
The truck started like a charm and the big V-8 rumbled reassuringly as he backed out of his parking spot and headed toward the exit. He found its sound comforting; it afforded a sense of normalcy that had been absent the entire evening.

When Jed introduced himself to Dr. Cook’s receptionist, a short, heavy-set brunette in her late 20’s with an honest-to-God native Virginian accent, she wasted no time in telling him to come around to the back; clearly, she had been told to keep her eyes peeled for him. Once again he entered the back area, but this time they passed the exam room from the night before and she took him to the left down the hallway toward a door at the end.

Katie was in the kitchen flouring a bundt pan for her Christmas rum cake when the knock came at the side door. She glanced at the clock radio hanging under the cabinet in the corner nook, which told her that it was 7:15 p.m. as it began to play Burl Ives’ “A Holly Jolly Christmas.” She wiped her hands on her apron, went to the door, and peered out through the sheers at the figures on the concrete stoop: Jed and Eli. She gave them a surprised smile, threw back the deadbolt, and swung open the door.
“Hello, Jed—and Eli, too. Come in, come in. Quick, before you get cold.”
