Becka waited impatiently in the library, feeling like an unwanted pet. How could they do that? Without her at the helm, Benjamin wouldn’t have a blog,
or any media accounts.She’d cared for him through it all. She was the one that made sure that everything went smoothly. Yet they cast her out? He needed her.<The ghost-hunting guests left the office, leaving Donny and Gabby alone. The silence stretched between them. Donny looked over the documents they’d left. He knew about her ancestor Olivia committing suicide and her mother’s tragic car accident. He sat looking at the list of tragedies. They didn’t occur to a few generations, but all the generations. None died a natural death or by disease. “Gabby, I’m not ready to lose you yet.” “Donny, it’s okay. We have years yet. This is the closest anyone in my family understands the curse.” “Figuring out? What do you mean? You don’t know what the curse says?” “When Olivia wrote al
The Germains’ stopped by the front desk asking for their key, and Jody mentioned what happened with their assistant. Denise looked pleased until Benjamin mentioned they would need to leave early so he could secure their accounts and such. She took it in stride. Jody apologized and offered to get management to help them with the confusion. Because she was unsure how to correct the situation for them. Benjamin appeared almost relieved she left. Though he asked that they deal with it in the morning. It was too late to drive home safely in the dark. Jody promised to tell the management to have everything readied for them in the morning. The Germains left with smiles and promises to return in the morning. Apologizing for the disturbance before heading up to their room. Though five minutes
Eddie was jittery as he got ready for his dinner date. He was meeting Hailey at the Restaurant at the Evergreen Grove Ski Resort. Eddie couldn’t remember the last time that he’d gone on a date. He struggled with a tie for cripe’s sake. Eddie had not used a tie in so long. He wasn’t sure if the tie was in fashion. He’d been flirting for ages with Hailey always backing down from asking her out. Her reaction to seeing him cleanly shaven that he just went for it and asked. He half expected her to throw her coffee at him and accuse him of teasing her. She’d jumped at the idea of having dinner with him. He’d cleaned himself up even further. Eddie was checking the time once a minute on his watch as he
Greta spent the day picking up the shooting permits. The team would need it all to do their job. It was all routine. It was the police at the Inn that was unexpected. She’d found out some interesting things about other legends within the area. She’d also picked up another interview with a detective. When she spoke to the producer on the phone. She’d explained who the new tech guy she’d found was. The producer couldn’t get over the influence Eric would bring. Shayla, their primary producer, was ecstatic. Aaron, their main technical specialist, needed to leave the team because of family issues. One of his sons found himself in trouble. The network wanted to keep scandal far away from all their shows.&nb
Greta needed to find a shaman. What knowledge a shaman would have she didn’t know? She’d talk to Gabby come morning. Maybe she was familiar with a local shaman? Greta would find one as she’d worked with one before. It’s a close-knit profession. And they were familiar with other practitioners. If she couldn’t find someone here to introduce her to a local shaman. She could contact Red Feather for an introduction. It made little sense. Shamans knew the spirits and legends of Native Americans. They weren’t working with ghosts and Irish fairies. She stood staring at the evidence board. Greta looked for connections that were a clue or answer fit. A knock on her door drew her attention. Taken2 aback, she stared at the door before her curiosity got her. Wh
Greta was lucky to get about five hours’ sleep. There was someone knocking at her door. Bleary-eyed, she stumbled to the door and opened it for Shayla. “Hi, what’s up? Thought we would meet at noon as usual.” “It’s not just that. I want to know about this tech guy you’ve brought on. I have paper of course for him to fill in. Is he as cute as the photos make him out to be?” Shayla thrust her phone into Greta’s face. Sure, enough Eric’s face glaring at the photographer. “He doesn’t quite look like that. He’s a nice guy when people aren’t pushing him to do something, he’s not comfortable with.”&n
Erichung out for the rest of the morning in the technical truck. It was nice having a mobileshop at his hands.They’dkitted the truckwith what seemed to be every toolhe needed. Allto maintain,repair,or even createthe tools of ghost hunting. All he needed now was the rawmaterials. Which wasn’t an unknown tohim? He could get what he needed to be shipped here, rather.
Eddie never thought he’d be doing the walk of shame. But here he was. Shivering he slipped through the back garden gate in the wee hours. He’d never seen a man in any movie doing this. But now he understood why women did. It wasn’t the shame of sneaking back in. It was thinking of the annoying questions. Eddie also didn’t want Hailey to get questions. This was between the two of them.Eddie shivered in his jacket while struggling to see the lock to his rooms. Now he thanked whatever gods gave him the common sense not to drink last night. Otherwise, he’d be feeling so much worse this morning and he could remember everything last night.They’d a great time last night. They planned a date for the weekend. Why’d he waited so long? That was the big money question.Right, he needed to get changed. Then get some work done. It took longer than it used to. Now he’d to shave and chan
