met anyone like you before.  I just don’t understand all this psychic stuff.  It’s difficult for me to wrap my brain around it.”
                  “Believe me, this is weird for me, too,” admitted Sarah.  “I only went to eat crawfish and hang out with friends.  I got pulled into a drama the likes of which I’ve never seen in my life.”
                  “It’s my fault that you did,” asserted Billy.
     
                  “No, it’s not anyone’s fault,” Sarah assured him.  “I’m supposed to be involved or Jessie wouldn’t have come to me at all.”
                  “I think that she wanted me to meet you,” said Billy.  “Jessie knows that I’ve avoided getting involved with anyone.”
                  “Well, we all have free will,” replied Sarah.  “It’s up to you to make choices separate from her.”
                  “I think I already did,” Billy smiled. 
                  “I wish that we had this all behind us,” said Sarah.
     
                  “Maybe tomorrow we will,” replied Billy.
     

 
     
                 
    Chapter Three
    Searching for Answers
    -
                  On Monday afternoon, Billy and Sarah met outside of the Hall of Records.  They proceeded to look through every document they could find to see if Charla owned any of the buildings that they had seen the day before.  None of them were in her name.  It proved to be a fruitless effort on their part.  When they walked out, Sarah was completely discouraged.  “What can we do now?” she asked.
                  “I don’t know,” said Billy.  “Maybe we could walk down more streets and try to locate it.  Are you sure that there wasn’t any other detail that you might have overlooked in your dreams?”
                  “Not that I know of,” replied Sarah.  They walked over to Billy’s truck and got in it so that they could talk awhile.  “Maybe we should let go of this until Jessie gives me more information.”
                  “Do you think that she will?” asked Billy.
     
                  “I’m not sure.  I feel like time is of the essence, but I don’t know how to make the connection between her father and the building.  I worry that we don’t have time to wait for more messages.  I’m not sure what to do.  There’s something else that we could try.  Why don’t you follow me to my apartment?” asked Sarah.  “I’ll park my car and get into your truck.  We can drive around and see if there are any buildings that we might have missed.  I am sure that we didn’t locate them all.  Like you told me yesterday, the entire Quarter is less than a square mile big.  It probably wouldn’t take too long.”
                  “Are you sure that you’re up to it?” asked Billy.  “I would rather meet you at your apartment and take you out to dinner.  You’ve had a long day at work and need a break.”
                  “I know I do, but I feel badly about not getting on this right away,” said Sarah.  She reached over and gave him a hug.  “Dinner sure sounds good, though.  Maybe if we get away from all this for a while, an answer might appear.”
                  An hour later, the two of them were sitting outdoors on the terrace of a beautiful restaurant overlooking Lake Pontchartrain.  “This is so special,” said Sarah.  “Thank you for bringing me here.”
                  “I was hoping that you’d like it,” Billy smiled.
                  “The view is amazing,” said Sarah.  “I love looking out at all the sailboats.  By the way, how did you ever come up with the name of your boat?”
                  “Actually, I didn’t.  Eddie named it and it just stuck,” replied Billy. “It’s bad luck to rename a boat.  There
