The pain she felt with the kids fading was like nothing she had ever experienced before. It seemed to go to her bones, both emotional and physical. The group watched in silence and hated that they could not go to her. Ethan had put his hand up when Emily had tried, knowing that it would likely only increase her pain as well as cause it … Continue reading The Barrier: Case Two- Chapter Twelve
While Emily was helping Riley, Josh took over for Gabrielle, waiting for the police by the ditch. Emily was able to slowly help Riley get dressed, which was difficult with Emily needing to avoid touching Riley as much as possible. They were able to do it and get her back to base, but not without pain for both of them. The blankets had been changed … Continue reading The Barrier: Case Two- Chapter Eleven
Riley was standing in the ditch, looking around, desperately searching for any way to get herself out. She used the flashlight on her phone and scanned to see if there was anything nearby she could climb, but realized it was a wasted effort. She started to scan the ditch to see if anything stood out, but all there was, was a few graffiti symbols on … Continue reading The Barrier: Case Two- Chapter Ten
The three went inside, and Riley picked a corner of the room where she would have space from the group but still be close enough to properly participate. “Riley made contact,” Ethan informed the group, and Riley tried not to be too annoyed with Miller’s outward display of disbelief. “We know,” Josh said. Ethan nodded at Josh to explain. “When Emily noticed that Riley had … Continue reading The Barrier: Case Two- Chapter Nine
“Riley, Emily, Josh, go take readings,” Ethan said after the group had sat in silence for roughly an hour. They nodded and quickly got to it. When they were outside, it was almost completely dark, just the last bit of sun was hanging on. The three walked quietly to the various locations. As they neared the camera closest to where the children had been killed, … Continue reading The Barrier: Case Two- Chapter Eight
When the guys went to town later, they did not have much more luck. They were able to find a few new people to interview, and even got some people to agree to a second one. However, the answers did not really change. Josh returned, agreeing with Riley that even those that seemed to distrust the group truly did want the answers found, although none … Continue reading The Barrier: Case Two- Chapter Seven

Riley walked into the kitchen and saw Mrs. Perez was still cooking breakfast. “Can I help?” she asked the older woman cheerfully but softly to not startle her. The woman smiled at her. “Yes, dear, thank you. I just need to get everything into serving bowls and on the table.” Riley nodded and walked over to help her with it and to help set the … Continue reading The Barrier: Case Two- Chapter Six
When they arrived at the mortuary, Gabrielle made no moves to get out of the van. “I will meet you inside, Caroline.” Riley stiffened a little as Miller rolled her eyes. Did they think she was stupid? Miller thought to herself. Just bring the damn woman in if they were so certain she was an empath. It was not as though they were being subtle. … Continue reading The Barrier: Case Two- Chapter Five
“Speaking of the team, when do you think Gabrielle and Miller will get here?” Emily asked. “They should be arriving shortly,” Ethan answered. The three remained silent as they drove through the rest of town and down a dirt road. When they arrived at a Spanish-style house not far from town, Ethan stopped, and they all got out to stretch.
