"What do you mean, something's happened..?" Patrick's voice echoed mildly,
mirroring Kat's self appointed co-guardian's expression and tone.  Then he
turned his thoughts toward Kat.. seeking...........

He was confused as to why Kat was here.. that much was certain.  And he
could see and feel Julia's reaction to having felt her here and shared it.
But there was something else.......

His form started to solidify like Julia's as he turned his thoughts around
them, seeking.. then he smiled slightly.  He hadn't pinpointed her location
yet but he could sense the object.

"You gave her your cross." he said, knowing what it had meant to the young
woman beside him.  They hadn't talked to each other, but when he had visited
Kat during Christmas that one year he had sensed her and a number of stray
thoughts.

"There." he said suddenly, looking at a spot that looked, to the naked eye,
empty.

He frowned because that wasn't the only place he sensed Kat -- but it was
her life force and the crucifix he was sensing "Kit Kat?  Why are you here?"

Her form hadn't solidified yet so they couldn't see her.  But now that
Patrick had focused on her, Julia was able to better sense her as well and
was even more confused than before.  Neither of them could sense Kat injured
or in a physical trauma that would have her where she was now.

"Patrick?" Julia started to ask him if he knew what was going on but he was
already shaking his head, as perplexed as she was.
