Like I didn’t have enough problems?
Nico and I were in a car, on the way to our first proper mission as the
Medusa Project. We’d been trained, we’d been briefed and we’d been told
why our mission was important. So why was I feeling as chewed up as the
inside of my trainers after a long, sweaty run?
‘Hey, babe,’ Nico murmured. ‘What’s the matter?’
I shook my head. I’m not good at explaining stuff at the best of times,
which this definitely wasn’t. Anyway, Nico’s totally sorted about his
psychic ability. So are the others. It’s just me . . .
I have visions of future events which – I know – sounds like it should be
interesting. The trouble is, I can’t control when these glimpses into the
future are going to happen or what I’m going to see. My ability’s
completely random. And yet there I was – off on a mission that was built
around my psychic powers.
‘Are you scared about getting hurt?’ Nico lowered his voice so our driver
wouldn’t hear. ‘Because you don’t need to be . . . I’ll make sure you’re
okay.’ He smiled that chocolate-eyed, half-cheeky, half-sexy smile of his.
I smiled back, it was impossible not to. My boyfriend is the fittest thing on
two legs – not that I’d tell him so.
‘Thanks, you macho bighead, but I can look after myself.’
Nico’s grin deepened. ‘So what’s up?’
‘Nothing, I’m fine.’ I turned away and looked out of the window. I knew if
I explained my anxieties to Nico he’d just tell me I was being silly – that
my abilities were as valid and useful as everyone else’s. But suppose I
didn’t have a vision later? Suppose I never had one again? It had been
nearly two weeks since I’d had my first – and only – proper precognitive
experience.
Geri Paterson – she heads up the Medusa Project – had tried all sorts to
bring another vision on, from getting me to focus on pictures of random
strangers to sending me into a state of deep relaxation.
Nothing, so far, had worked.
The streets outside were dark, the damp pavements glistening with the rain
that had fallen earlier. We were speeding through a maze of back streets
somewhere in central London.
