FRACTURED, Book 1.2 in The VISION SERIES
Bobby's
a hick who sees visions. Jeremy's a smartass who sees dead people.
Together, they have a weekend to stop a murderer...if they don't kill
each other first. Sparks fly when the worlds of Lisa Amowitz’s BREAKING
GLASS and VISION collide.
Excerpt:
“Hey. You were the kid that played with that amazing redhead. Not bad, man. Not bad.”
“Um, thanks.”
“Not from around here, are you?”
“No. I mean, I’m not, really.”
The guy smiled and extended a hand. “Sorry. Just a little cranky tonight.
I came in this morning on an epic bus ride from Duke just to see my
girlfriend and she’s stuck in a study group with a bunch of other
assholes. Oh. I’m Jeremy Glass.” He lowered himself on the bench next to
me and massaged his leg. “Too much walking today. Damn.”
I
tried to keep my eyes from going wide as the guy lifted the cuff of his
black jeans. Instead of an actual leg there was only a hydraulic metal
pole.
Jeremy
Glass looked at me and smiled. “Veronica’s been sticking a little
lately. I think I’ll have to bring her back to the shop. What’s your
name?”
I
glanced from his face to the metal leg. “Bobby. Bobby Pendell,” I
choked out. It wasn’t the leg. It was just hard to breathe around him,
like he was sucking up my share of the oxygen.
I
wasn’t sure if I wanted to know how Jeremy Glass had lost that leg,
though I was pretty sure he’d be happy to tell me. I thought about
bolting back inside the club, but that would be rude.
Instead,
Glass said breezily, “You were awesome, dude. Where’d you learn to play
guitar and sing like that? Man, all I can do is run.”
I bit back on the obvious response. How could a guy with a fake leg run?
Glass
laughed. “Ha! Most people are too polite to ask, but I’m not shy about
it. I was a sprinter. Fastest in my school. Until—well, until the
accident. But now I’ve got a Teflon blade and I’m the fastest on the
team. Technology is awesome, huh?”
I
cleared my throat. Something about this guy was making my skin crawl.
Maybe it was his fast talking. Or the way his eyes twinkled but looked
steely and cunning all at the same time. I felt like he was silently
laughing at me. Like his brain worked two and a half times faster than
mine did. He eyed me with one eyebrow raised, as if he didn’t actually
expect a response.
“Um, it was nice to meet you. But I really should be getting back inside,” I said, and finally got up to leave.
Glass stared calmly back at me. “Who’s your friend, then?”
A
shiver rolled up my spine. I had to get away. Ever since my last brush
with Agent Maura Reston on the Scratch Lake dock, I’d had the distinct
feeling I was being watched. Maybe I was just being paranoid, but this
guy seemed to be probing me for something.
“What friend?”
His gaze shifted over my left shoulder. “That guy.”
The blood froze in my veins. I pivoted and saw a brief white flicker, a disruption, then empty air.
Glass laughed. “Yeah. You’ve got to learn to ignore them. They’re everywhere.”
“I don’t know what the hell you’re talking about.”
Glass’s smile vanished. “I don’t like it any more than you do. But I can always tell when I meet someone like me.”
“Like you?” I backed away toward the club entrance, cold sweat trickling from my scalp down the back of my neck.
“You can see them, too. Things no one else can.”
He
pressed a card into my hand. My mouth went dry. The sidewalk tilted. I
pressed my palm to the glass of the club window to steady myself.
I didn’t have to look down to know what it said.
He’d seen the thing that I’d seen. He was like me.
He was working with Agent Reston and her paranormal goon squad.
