Darling Companion Page #5

You're irrational.

I would have had that whistle,

and he would have come back to me.

But now he's gone.

And for all I know,

he may be suffering somewhere.

He's probably terrified.

I don't know. He may be dead.

He's not dead.

- Freeway is alive.

- What?

What are you talking about?

I am certain he's alive.

You're certain?

I never told you this, but I find things.

What kind of things?

Missing things. Sometimes living things.

You mean like a detective?

My great-great-grandmother was

Madame Luminitsa.

You've probably heard of her.

I am of the Romany people.

Gypsies?

On my mother's side.

My father is a yogi.

The women in my family, they have a gift.

We see things.

You find it hard to believe.

Gadje always do.

But I can help you find Freeway.

Gadje?

How?

When I realized Django was my spirit-mate,

the animal world became visible to me.

As opposed to the vegetable

and mineral worlds?

Now, who's Django?

That was Carmen's dog. He lived to be 24.

It was then that the gift blossomed in me.

My third eye truly opened.

What Django felt, I felt.

I traveled through the world with him,

seeing what he saw.

And what did he see?

He saw things for what they are.

He was connected to the prana.

The prana.

Shut up, Joseph. You're such a tight ass.

Do you have to be so one-dimensional?

Excuse me for living in this dimension.

Carmen.

Do you see him? is he all right?

Beth, are you kidding me?

Can you see what he sees?

- Yes.

- What do you see?

I see trees

and a shed with construction equipment in it

and mountains.

Wow. That really pinpoints it.

I see a redheaded woman.

What, Freeway's looking

at a redheaded woman?

She may have fed him.

He had some kind of interaction with her.

What should we do?

Yeah.

Go to bed.

What, are you closing for the night?

In the morning,

everything will be much clearer.

I need rest. And so do you.

Wail,

How long are we supposed to wait?

This is Freeway's hair.

Keep this close to your heart.

Freeway will feel our concern.

Are we supposed to sleep with this?

Makes sense to me.

Could I have mine in a baggie?

- Sure.

- Thanks.

Carmen, why are you getting her hopes up?

Gypsy trick.

So you're leaving in the morning,

aren't you?

I have to. I'd stay if I could.

Violet is expecting you.

No, not Violet. I have patients to see.

My people have a saying.

"Those who don't push the caravan

from the muck

"become one with the muck,"

Thank you. That's very understanding.

Good-bye.

Beth, what are you doing?

I'm looking for those night-vision glasses

I got you for Christmas,

They're probably still in the same box.

Beth, you have to get some rest.

You heard Miss Luminitska.

Let me get you a Xanax.

You think it's impossible

Carmen might actually know

something you don't?

About Freeway? Doubtful.

Unless she kidnapped him.

She's given me hope. Maybe she has a gift.

And unlike you,

I don't think

I know everything about everything.

Why are you turning on me?

I didn't commit a crime.

There are a few pivotal moments

in a person's life,

where one reacts

exactly right or completely wrong.

I forgot the whistle.

But that's not what I'm talking about.

This is a difficult time for you.

For both of us.

And especially for a woman,

there are physical changes

that affect everything.

Tell me about being a woman.

I think that the anger you're feeling

is not actually about me. It's hormonal.

No, it's not menopause.

It actually is about you.

Zee men in my family have a gift.

They find things

that no one else can find, Gadje.

Gadje.

- Hello?

- Dad'

Grace. Gracie, you surprised me.

- What do you mean?

- Well, it's 5:
00 in the morning here.

- It is?

- Yeah.

Oh, God, you're right.

I counted wrong. Go back to sleep.

No, no, no, no. I was up.

Tell me about Bora-Bora.

Amazing.

You've got to come here someday.

Dad, Sam and I can't stop talking

about the wedding.

It was just what we hoped.

And I know you didn't want Freeway

in the ceremony,

but you have to admit, it was sweet.

How's Mom?

She's great. She's fine.

Really? Is she doing okay? No big letdown?

She's relieved

that Sam took you off our hands.

When are you going back?

Later on.

Okay, well, we're going to dinner,

but! want to talk to Mom.

Call her when you wake up.

- Okay, give her a hug for me.

- Sure.

And give Freeway some of that salmon

that fell on the floor' He's earned it.

You got it, cookie. You just have fun.

Okay, love you.

I love you. Bye.

Hello?

I thought so.

Thanks.

This is good.

I was picturing a waterfall.

Now a hiker saw a dog

above Bear Creek Falls.

There's a reason you stayed,

but it's not the one you think.

No, I stayed to help find the dog.

Good.

Russell will need your help

finding the redheaded woman.

I'm supposed to find the redheaded woman?

Yes, it will take both of you to do it.

Okay. Where are we supposed to look?

I'm seeing a green house.

No, yellow. It's unclear.

- On a street named for a tree.

- Okay.

A tree.

Well, yeah, I'm gonna head up to Bear Creek.

Yeah, I'm gonna go with you.

Well, not with that knee.

No, you, please, come with me.

I need your help,

Well, I could go with Beth.

Or I could stick with Russell.

I don't mind going alone.

No.

Hey, Joseph.

Freeway!

I don't understand

why you're not talking to me.

I came back

because I wanted to be here for you.

I understand searching for Freeway.

But this Carmen crap?

It's voodoo.

But if another day of searching

is gonna make you feel better,

I'm here to support you.

Could we just not talk for a while?

I don't need to talk.

I think it's good for two people

to have quiet time together,

to heal, to smooth out the feathers

or whatever.

Grace called.

- What?

- Yeah.

- When?

- This morning. You were sleeping.

You didn't tell her about Freeway, did you?

Of course not.

- What did she say?

- They're having a great time.

They loved the wedding.

Anything else?

She asked how you're doing.

Excuse me. Sorry.

Oh, hey!

You didn't happen

to see a dog up there, did you?

- Yeah.

- You did?

Like that?

Yeah, could be.

Where exactly does this trail go?

It heads up towards Purgatory,

then loops back.

- Come on.

- It loops back? How is it?

It's radical.

Do you think you'll ever get married?

Perhaps.

I'm sure you have no trouble attracting men.

They swarm like flies,

but who wants a fly?

I'm a passionate woman.

It's not easy to find a man

who can keep up with me sexually.

- Yeah, it's tough for women like us.

- Yeah.

There was one, But he was a pickpocket.

My family would not tolerate that.

- No, of course not.

- It's not steady work.

Russell is very cheerful.

Can he keep up with you?

Why do you think he's so cheerful?

Do you want me to get that?

I got it.

Okay.

- Yeah?

- What are you doing?

Right now?

We're way the hell up toward Purgatory.

Where's that?

Above Bear Creek.

Yeah, we met a guy who saw a dog.

Okay, you sound
