             “Larin, could you and Evan deal with the last of those security measures we discussed doing while I talk with Mr. Winters? Becky, the historical documentation still needs to be reviewed. Please see if you can make a dent in it. Any clues from the past might help us pinpoint what’s happening here. I’ll arrange a plumber to come in and have them look for any possible plumbing problems we might have.”             “I’ll get breakfast on the table while you talk with Mr. Winters. I hope pancakes and sausage are good for everyone. We’ll need to get more food in the house with triple the mouths to feed. It’ll get dicey soon.”             “I’ll have your household budget adjusted to reflect the increased number of people

             “Since you have the weapon. I think I should be the one warding while you guard against attack. Is that alright with you?” Angelica asked. She tried not to sound pushy because she wasn’t sure how much he trusted her. She figured he wouldn’t allow her to have a weapon just yet, and he’d be double-checking everything she did. But she needed to do something useful and if they accepted her enough to do this, then she’d do the best she could to prove that she was trustworthy.             “For now, let’s see how it goes. The herb bundles are in the bag with the maps. There’s a device in there to light it. Let’s start with the building and then work our way into where the ruins are. That way we can give the most time to the ruins and know our job’s done correctly.” &n

             “Now the great hunt for these ruins. I have no clue what they want me to do with ruins. Well, it all depends on how much of the building still exists. Even cave entrances need to have a ward placed on them. But it’s finding them. How are we to find them with these maps? None are to scale, and half of the symbols don’t have an explanation for them.”             “Hugo, it’s less about what the symbol means and more about what we bother to investigate. We don’t have a clue what is out there. What has cropped up? Or how the land has changed. All we can do is cover this land as best as we can and deal with things as we get to it. Isn’t that what Gemma and Larin want?”             “More information would have been nice.&rdqu

             “Now that we’re done eating, we really need to talk about several things. Or I’m afraid someone will walk into a dangerous situation because they just didn’t know. I will assume everyone else is in the same mindset as I am. Okay, I’m going to start with Mr. Winters, knows something weird is going on here and wants to stay out of it as much as he can. The same families basically run the town council and the local university control board. They aren’t happy because an unknown donor to the university is insisting on turning this place not into a museum, but into a paranormal research facility. I don’t know what that means for us in the long run, but I doubt it would be good. I couldn’t get any of the repairmen to visit for at least a week. So, we have time to quell the Fear Monger situation and the warding issue. I’ll turn this over to Becky and she can tell yo

             Gemma and Evan paced the basement floor while trying to listen for sounds from the tunnel. The two men only left them minutes before this for a destination that no one knew how far it was. Gemma’s only consolation currently was she heard no sounds of falling or fighting. “We need to know where that goes and where those things went.” Becky shook her hands as the tension got to her. “Why am I waiting for the other shoe to drop?”             “Because at every turn, so far the other shoe has dropped. I’m hoping that we’ll run out of shoes.” Gemma responded to her friend’s comment dryly. “I just want some good news. How are we to get these things done with all this looming over our heads? It’s not like we can tell the restoration people they can’t work right now because we
