She replaced the phone on its cradle and sat staring at her note pad.

"I take it we have something other than a senator's wife seeing a ghost
or having a dream that needs to be interpreted?" her secretary said,
urging her gently.

"Here's where we justify our budget for the year," Sherry responded,
snapping out of her trance. "It looks like we have a full-blown
assignment for a change, Donald. There's an Irish rock group, Green
Fire, that's about to start a tour of the U.S. It seems one of their
members has been getting threats and even suffered a couple attacks.
The rat in the woodpile is that the threats and attacks have been of a
psychic nature. That makes it our problem."

Don began to smile. "The kind we can solve without leaving the office?
Good. Who's the target?"

"Fionna Kenmare."

"Fionna Kenmare? Their lead singer? Isn't she the one with the green
hair?"
"I guess." Sherry shrugged. "I don't keep up with that world much."

"What kind of attacks are we talking about here?"

"Mysterious illnesses, disembodied voices, and cuts appearing on her
arms when there's no one around."

"All of which could be staged for publicity," the secretary said with a
frown. "The Secret Service is taking it seriously, though?"

"The Brits are," Sherry said through tight lips. "They sent someone to
check it out, and that person is out of the running with a mental
breakdown. Because of that, they're sending along an agent of their own
to watch over Ms. Kenmare while she's on tour."

" . . . And if there's one of theirs tagging along, there has to be one
of ours tagging along as well, right?"

"You got it in one." The department head grimaced. "Run a quick check
for me, will you? Have we got anyone in New Orleans, or do we have to
air-drop someone in?"

"I think . . . Let me check."

The secretary ran his finger quickly through the Rolodex on his desk.

"Here we go . . . Oh boy!" Don said, dismayed.

"What is it?" Sherry was suddenly concerned by the change in his voice.
