Cross that Bridge

“Wait. You’re that Detective Ponti, aren’t you? The one that finds lost kids.”

“Unless there’s two of us.”

“That boy you found at Myall Lakes – how’d you do it?”

“Do what?”

“For one thing, he was snatched from Campbelltown. So, how’d you know to take a five hour road trip north while everyone else was still door-knocking his neighbours? Seems kinda…”

“Strange? Yeah, well. I didn’t say it wasn’t strange.”

Detective Ponti has a gift. He can find lost children, children who can’t be found. When he runs into young Angie Thomas, he finds she has a power, too. Ponti promises to bring her home safe, but that’s going to take some doing with police and anti-terrorism interested in maybe taking a piece of what Angie can do. With his new partner, Ponti’s going to chart a path through doing things right, being a cop and maybe, just maybe, taking up one of those job offers from the Grey Institute.
