He wasn’t going to hold his breath.

Mrs. Sebring stood as they entered the interview room, and Gary’s first impression was of a very weary woman, maybe in her forties, pale, with shadows under her eyes. Her hair was scraped back and secured with a clip, and her face was devoid of makeup.

She headed straight for Dan. “You’re the psychic, aren’t you? The one I read about in the paper.”

He smiled. “Yes, I’m Dan Porter.”

“I’m here because of you. To be honest, you’re my last hope.” She didn’t speak loudly, but Gary couldn’t miss the note of desperation.

“What can we do for you, Mrs. Sebring?” He gestured to her chair. “Please, sit down.” They sat facing her.

She lowered herself into the chair, studying their faces as if she was trying to reach a decision. Her forehead creased.

“First thing I need to know is… was it all true? Did you really find that serial killer?”

The edge of desperation in her voice grew more obvious.

Dan nodded. “I helped the police, yes.”

Her expression hardened. “You never know these days. There’s so much hype, disinformation… truth seems to have gone out of style.”

“Mr. Porter provided valuable information that led us to the killer,” Gary assured her. “So… why are you here?”

Mrs. Sebring’s gaze flickered from Gary to Dan and back to Gary.

“Okay then.” She shuddered out a breath. “My husband died in 2016. An accident, they said. But I know different. Iknowhe was murdered.” She met their stares. “And I want you to prove it.”
