hear this now."

The phone rings and someone answers, Carrie speaks, "hello, this is Dr. Mullins and I'm calling to find out if Dr. Ricks left anything for me. He did, that's great, no thank you, I can pull it up on my computer, thank you very much." She hangs up the phone and moves to her computer.
Todd walks in looking at her smiling, "what are you doing..are you going to work now..after all that work to relax you?"
"Work?....no baby, I just want the file on this new patient to go over before monday." Carrie starts the printer and walks to him . "And what are you going to do?"
He places his hand on the soft skin of her face, leans to her and kisses her gently, " good, lets go down stairs to play a game of pool, I want to beat you once before bed."
She returns his kiss then looks at the printer, " sure, I'll be there in a second."
As she finishes printing out the file, Todd goes down stairs to the game room, she finds something that upsets her, " Todd...Todd" as she runs down the stairs, " will you look at this?"
"What is it, let me see." Todd takes the papers and reads them.
"They want me to go and help bring this girl back." She paces back and forth not happy with this.
"Thats great, this will give me a chance to meet you brother and mom if you would like to go visit them, you do want me to go with you, right?" As he watches her trying to calm her down.
She stops looking at him for a second, thinking of what he said, "if you really want to, that would be fine."
"Sure, I can send the kids to my sisters this week and they can go to my folks from there next week and I can meet you at the hotel." Todd stands up and looks at her.
"Lets play pool after you call your family to set it all up." Carrie walks up the stairs.
Todd gets off the phone with his family and tells Carrie Anne the news. " I will put the boys on the plane sunday and I can meet you in virginia on monday, hows that?"
"That sounds great, but I have to be there on sunday, can you handle getting the kids off on your own?" she worries about the kids and Todd.
"Sure, you just leave everything to me and get yourself ready and I got the kids." He smiles and holds her in his arms tight.
She drops the papers on the corner of the table and picks up a pool stick. they play for a few hours and joke around with each other, after playing pool they go to bed.
About 2:00 AM Todd is awaken by Carrie Anne screaming. "Carrie, are you ok..wake up..come on, wake up."
She sits up crying and shaking, " just give me a minute..I'll be fine."
"Carrie, what did you see, what was it?" He holds her to calm her shaking.
Carrie crys and remembers her dream, " i saw my sisters, one face down in a river but Tiffany was standing with me. Kim had a mark on her hand that looked like an eye, but it was real, alive, it blinked, Kim also had a demon symbol on her forhead, and I can see in my mind a faint image of a woman sitting in a old wooden chair and the room is dark as the night with out the stars, her skin is cold and white as snow, her eyes are like light blue crystal gems shinning brightly, her teeth were like pointed razors." Todd looks at her not saying whats on his mind but asks, " whats all this mean Carrie?"
Carrie shakes her head, " I'm not sure, but the images are to weak to see where this place is and I don't know if it's the past or the present, and its the same dream over and over."
Todd thinks for a moment then asks her, "so you can't reconize anything or could you make out something new?"
Carrie closes her eyes and pulls the images to her mind again holding them there, "no, nothing new but it all happens to fast." She looks at Todd, "I've got to get some sleep, please just hold me."
Todd wraps his arms around her and lays them both down again, "you just come here and I won't let anything happen to you."
The next morning, Carrie Anne starts to pack for her trip and calls for her plane and hotel reservations. "Todd, I'll be at the Beach Front Hotel in suit 213 and I'll leave a messege at the front desk of what time I'll meet you there and where I am at. My plane leaves at 9:00 PM tonight, gate 10, I really don't like going off leaving you and the boys like this."
