Indigo Incite (The Indigo Trilogy) Read Free

You have to find the other people I identified on that list. I
think they’re the only ones who will be able to help.
    How
many others are we talking about? Do you know where they are? Do you remember
their names?
    I
remember. There were four—four others. I don’t want you to write the names
down, though. If they find you, they’ll find the list, and they’ll know that I
was able to contact you. I’ll give you the first name so that you can meet him.
Hang in there. If I’m able to contact him, I’ll arrange a meeting for you .

couldn’t believe that this was real. It seemed like some bizarre dream that he
expected to wake up from, any minute. But somehow, it was real, and he was
prepared to do whatever it took, to get his brother back. All right ,
Tyler thought, what’s his name ?
    Eddie , Toby replied. Eddie Espinoza .

CHAPTER 3: EDDIE
     
     
    The snow
covered the tops of Eddie’s boots when he stepped out of his Jeep. It was light
and fluffy and floated in swirls as he walked toward the Northern Arizona
University science building. He was only eighteen but already a sophomore in
college. He had graduated from high school a year early and received a
four-year scholarship to the university, where he was preparing to go to
graduate school, to study quantum physics. There wasn’t a whole lot that Eddie
could learn from his classes that he didn’t already know, so he had convinced
his physics professor to sponsor him in an independent research project of
quantum physics. He had written a proposal for his study, and other than an
occasional check-in with his professor, he was basically left on his own to
continue his research.
    The
small Volkswagen, parked near the entrance of the building, belonged to his
friend Jenna, who, no doubt, was already waiting for him in the physics lab. In
her junior year, she was also working on an independent research project. They
often made plans to meet at the lab, so they could toss ideas back and forth.
Eddie suspected that her interest in meeting him went beyond the academic. The
way she looked at him and would “accidentally” brush her hand across his left
little doubt of her interest.
    Her back
was turned to the door when he entered. She wore tight, curve-flattering jeans,
and he couldn’t help but notice the shapeliness of her figure as she wiggled
slightly back and forth with a mirror in hand. Two other mirrors were on a
table propped up and facing each other, about six inches apart. A lamp was
angled to shine down on a small object between the two mirrors.
    With a
smile in his voice, he said, “Are we having fun, yet?”
    She
turned to him with a grin. “Hey, buuudy ! I was hoping you’d show up. I
could use a hand for a few minutes, if you’ve got time.”
    Her
gorgeous smile was contagious, and even though he was anxious to start his own
project so he could make it home in time for Abby’s party, he couldn’t say no.
“Sure. Just for a little bit, though. Today’s my baby sister’s birthday, so I
have to get out of here a little early.”
    “Oh
yeah? How old is she?”
    “Eleven.”
    “I don’t
know how to break it to you, my friend, but your little sister isn’t exactly a
baby anymore.”
    “Tell me
about it.”
    He took
off his winter jacket and hat and ran a hand through his short, tousled black
hair. “So where do we begin?” He mischievously rubbed his hands together in
preparation.
    “I’m
working to prove the theory of parallel universes by using the reflection of
photons. I’ve been working on it for a week. I’m just trying to figure out
where to go from here.”
    Eddie
wondered if a girl so beautiful was actually interested in him or if it was his
imagination. Other than the black rimmed eye glasses he always wore, he didn’t
fit the stereotypical appearance of a quantum physics major. He supposed that
he could be considered good looking. His broad forehead, high cheekbones, and
large, crystal brown eyes were a combination of his
