And suddenly.<br/><em>'Leave me alone! Please!... I need to stay alone for a while...'</em>- spoke Luke's mind.<br/>She was more than surprised. Most of the times he was very open and it was very easy for her to 'read' him, not in an assertive but much rather in a supportive way. But this time Luke blocked himself,<em>locked</em>himself somehow...<br/><em>'But why??...'</em>The message was so clear, Marsha didn't try to get to know more right now. Once again she squeezed his arm as an encouragement.<br/>''I'm more than ready, Sweetheart.'' - she said, giving him a pander smile. Usually they used that old joke when they were outside somewhere on a mission, but now she wanted to tell him somehow that she's<em>here</em>, right beside him and feels the change in his soul. And that she<em>will catch him</em>if he falls.<br/><br/>Then she let him guide her inside when Luke touched her left palm with his right hand as a sign to go. They knew each other's moves like a dancing couple and that was the reason why everything went so easily, almost invisibly between them.<br/>Besides, she was ready indeed. All the unpleasant feelings were gone as soon as she placed herself<em>inside</em>the case, preparing for anything she may find in the mind or soul of that suspect.<br/>Of course, there were things time to time that were very hard to deal with and it was compulsory for her to meet a psychologist in every two weeks or more frequent if she felt so, as she was an agent working with the mind and soul of killers and shocked family members. But yet there was a sphere of her soul that remained mostly hidden, even for herself...<br/><br/>...She was a little girl, only 9 and a half year old when the symptoms of a myterious disease started show up on her. Very high and increasing fever, paroxisms - this all only took for three days, that she spent being in a sort of comatose state. But was enough to take her eyesight thoug Doc was as quick as possible to give her the best medical treatment. He even arranged to get a helicopter that carried her to the closest clinic as soon as possible. But it was late already. The doctor of the orphanage balmed himself for this, almost resigned.. but later the friendship of Marsha eased these feelings. She's always been a very gifted child and a very interesting company. And this just doubled since her illness somehow.<br/>Nobody knew it but those three days brought a special talent to her...<br/><br/><br/>''You know, when we met our last case with that snake-killer I thought there won't be one such complicated. But now I have the feeling that this one's gonna be something like that, veeery much.'' - she smiled a little as they were walking towards the interrogation room.<br/>She liked his slow steps so much. Luke was a very energic one, one who<em>loved</em>spinning and adrenalin. When he was walking alone he was always quick, she could hear it. But<em>never</em>when she was on his side. And she liked him just more because of this.<br/><br/>When the small listening device was already in her ear and they entered the room she could immediately feel the thick wall around the suspect.<br/><em>'Won't be easy to break through...' </em><br/>Luke practicedly put her hand on the back of her seat so she could sit down in her own pace. Marsha felt the suspect's sharp look at the skin of her face...<br/>
