The séance room consisted of a large table in the middle of the room. Hutches with displays of everything from photographs to china lined the walls. Cameras and other recording devices were positioned around the room on tripods and on the hutches. The lights had been turned off, and in the center of the table were several flickering candles.
“Are we ready now?” Natasha asked.
Various nods and responses of “yes” were heard.
“Everyone has their equipment set up?” Natasha asked.
Again, heads nodded.
“Because you can’t break the circle once we start. So if there’s any fiddling you need to do, be done with it.”
Jake got up and went over to his camera. He had placed it on a tripod, facing the séance table. He looked through the viewfinder and made a couple of adjustments. He grinned and returned to the table. Madeline scowled.
He was just looking for more attention, she thought.
“Are we ready now?” Natasha asked again.
“Yes,” Madeline said forcefully. Natasha raised an eyebrow at her.
“Sorry. I’m just excited,” Madeline said.
“Everyone, join hands.”
Jake reached for Madeline’s hand, and she took it. His grip was strong, his flesh warm, and just touching him soothed her ruffled feathers for a moment.
“Now, close your eyes and concentrate on your breathing,” Natasha said. “Just breathe in slowly and release it slowly. Every time you blow out, let your tension and wandering thoughts blow out of your system. Try to keep your mind blank so you can be ready to receive any messages.”
The room was filled with the sound of the investigators breathing. Natasha started to hum a tuneless melody while the breathing continued.
The candles flickered wildly. Madeline tried to clear her head of all thoughts, but the warmth of Jake’s hand was making her giddy. Her other hand held Natasha’s cold one. The atmosphere in the room was one of silent anticipation.
