what limited connections he believed
they shared. Chief Johnson joined them with three mugs of coffee, two of which
he handed out to the detectives.
    Johnson
asked Felton, “What’s this about?”
    Sage
took a breath and said, “I believe I’ve found something.” He pointed to pages
spread across his desk and explained, “I didn’t think anything of it at the
start, but something in Caroline Reynolds’ diary made me reconsider.”
    “What?”
    “She
wrote that she could walk through glass,” Felton told him.
    Johnson
stared at them both, with a cocked brow, and asked, “Like, through it, without
breaking it?”
    “Yes,”
Sage reluctantly confirmed.
    The
chief rubbed his eyes and found a seat. He groaned and muttered, “Why on earth
would you even think this is relatively plausible?”
    “Chief–”
    “Sage,”
his eyes shot over to him, “This is insane. People do not have super powers.”
    “Then
explain how Red Irons was able to remain underwater for over a half an hour
before Breanna French dove in to save him. Better yet, explain to me how she
even knew he was down there considering she was out jogging and wasn’t anywhere
near him when he tried to kill himself.”
    Felton
grimaced as he looked at the rest of Detective Sage’s notes. He read the
entries in Caroline’s diary and admitted, “It doesn’t sound so improbable when
you’ve got a fourteen year old girl writing about it in her journal.”
    “That
isn’t a binding fact though,” the Chief told them. “We need hard evidence, not
fiction.”
    “Chief,”
Detective Sage looked at him, “This might be all that we’re going to get.”
    Johnson
closed his eyes and thought a moment. The three of them didn’t move, or speak,
and hardly breathed for quite some time. One of their radios transmitted a
signal about a robbery on the east side, but none of them paid any mind to it.
The chief finally asked, “How are we supposed to investigate something like
this? Even if there are people with super powers and none of us have known
about it until now, how are we supposed to go about finding this Cladis guy who
supposedly knows about these people, and stop him?”
    Felton
shrugged, “How we usually go about these sort of investigations, we look for
other clues, interview those closest to the victims, and try our best to find
any leads we can that could lead to us capturing this killer.”
    Johnson
rubbed his head and relented, “Fine. Just, please, don’t mention these powers
or whatever they are to anyone else. The last thing we need is the press, the
people, or anyone above us believing that we’ve suddenly lost our grip on
reality. You two investigate this as if it truly was a lead and if anything
concrete surfaces, you let me know.” He looked at his watch and swore, “If
you’ll excuse me, I have to go and explain everything about Caroline Reynolds’
death to Commissioner Schmitt.”
    He
left the detectives and they returned to the case on the desk in front of them.
Detective Felton scratched his head and asked, “How are we going to go about
this anyway?”
    Sage
told him about what he’d read in Caroline’s journal, about how her class had an
intern substituting for their teacher. “I’ll have to go through the school
district to get this intern’s name though, which might be a bit of a headache
seeing as school’s out for the summer.”
    “Are
you going to ask if she’s suddenly displaying supernatural powers and
abilities?” Felton asked with a smirk.
    Detective
Sage frowned and admitted that he might have to. “I don’t even know how to ask
that without her dismissing it altogether.”
    Felton
shook his head and chuckled, “You’re a bright guy, I’m sure you’ll figure it
out,” he said with a smile as he handed Sage the phone. “I’ll be back, I’ve got
to go and check up with Brown about a few things involving some shoplifters we
caught last week.”
    Sage
nodded and dialed Caroline Reynolds’ school. He
