such as Abel’s was simply seen as a threat.
    For Abel to stay one step ahead of them, he would have to lie to them and spy on them. Abel had already told the FBI a pack of lies through messages in Alice’s dreams. He told them that he was married with children and that he had a grandchild; he had to lie to them to protect his true identity as the FBI put a profile together of who to look for.
    Abel’s wife had died in a nasty accident eight years ago, and he hadn’t forgiven himself. Abel didn ’t have any children and he wasn’t an old man like he wanted the FBI to think. He would be forty in the coming year and his father hadn’t died when he was a young boy like he had told the FBI. His father and mother were very alive.
    Abel had to live two lives: the true one of Abel Lazarus, a quiet architect working for L.A. roadways and the make-believe life of Joe the Magic Man. To make things even more difficult for Abel, his character Joe also had another life to live with a sexual addiction of invading people’s dreams and it was an addiction he wasn’t ready to give up.
    The FBI had asked Alice if she would try to find out who the Magic Man was and where he lived. Abel found that out when he was in Alice’s dreams and he had told Alice parts about his past that he had made up just to waste the FBIs time. He had later asked Alice to trust him, be his friend and not question his identity. He had confided in her that he had to lie about who he was and where he lived to throw the FBI off his tracks and keep them guessing. He wanted Alice to think of him as old Joe in his mid-sixties, not as the thirty-nine-year old Jewish boy, Abel Lazarus.
    Abel found out through Alice’s dreams that Special Agent Rosemary Burrows was a profiler trying to put together a profile for him. It was easy to know what the profile consisted of – all he had to do was be in Alice’s mind when Agent Burrows sent for her. Abel could jump from one mind to the other. How he could do that was a mystery to him but he accepted it as part of his gift, and once he had been in someone’s mind before, all he had to do to get back in their minds, was close his eyes and concentrate on that person then call their name in his thoughts and he’d be back in their minds as easily as if he had phoned them.
    He found out that Burrows was genuine when she wanted him on her team. What Abel didn’t like was the implication that Burrows and Alice were being used by Frank Brubaker to catch the Magic Man. Abel knew the only way this team was going to work was if there was trust on both sides, and that meant finding out if Frank Brubaker wanted him on his team or simply wanted him dead. To do that he had to get in Frank’s head and he did this when Agent Burrows met with Frank. As easily as he had always done, he popped from one mind to the other while they were talking, knowing he would be in Frank’s dream that night to see what Frank had planned for him.
    Abel did get into Frank’s dream that night and he found the information he was seeking. He then made Frank get up and write a letter to himself on behalf of the Magic Man. Abel sniggered when he remembered how Frank had nearly gotten a heart attack at the realization that the Magic Man had been in his head.
    Since then, the only message he had gotten from the FBI was a heads-up that they were to start work on cold cases. Alice had subsequently been sent their first cold case file to look over and so Abel took that to mean that Frank hadn’t resigned after the dream visit and that he was willing to work with “Joe Mann and partner”.
    Abel had rea d the cold case file with Alice and was waiting to see how Burrows wanted to work it but on his next visit to Alice’s mind she told him they were to forget the case. It turned out the FBI needed their help in stopping two terrorists from killing congresswomen.
    Abel knew the task at hand was something really big, and he took a deep breath as he realized what was
