Five years ago, I disappeared from the life I had and built this one. I spend my days and most of my nights on the line, helping my clients achieve their goals. They call me when they are in a jam or are getting ready to move on a target. I'm their information specialist. The woman in the chair. I'm their switchboard.

I know them, they've never seen me.

Supernatural outcasts. And her, the curvaceous writer who sees ghosts.
