“Let’s get something to eat and drink and see where we go next,” Marsha said. “Because I’m not going back to that hellhole.”
“In total agreement there. Let the professionals handle that!” Drake agreed. And he had a wife to spank because this was one of the most frightening Halloweens he could remember.
Team Two.
Command Centre
“You got attacked?” Silvie questioned excitedly. Drake wished he could find her level of enthusiasm.
“Yes, as I left the room, something hit my back,” he confirmed.
“Can we look?” Lisa asked.
“Yeah,” Drake replied, but he didn’t expect anyone to see anything. Therefore, he was rather shocked when Silvie hissed.
“Shit, man, you’ve got two large handprints on you, and they are red as a tomato,” Axel boomed.
Drake winced as Axel poked him with a finger.
“Did you get footage?” Jason inquired.
“That’s all that matters?” Drake asked, affronted.
“No. I want to see if we can see anything that pushed you. You said there was a shadow. Let’s review the footage, see what we can make out,” Jason replied calmly.
They rewound the footage to where the REM Pod was being activated.
“What is that?” Rooster sought as the cameraman had a perfect shot of the shadow detaching itself from the wall. They all peered closer.
“That looks like a man. It is human-shaped,” Silvie answered.
“A real shadow person captured on camera!” Dave exclaimed, excited. He turned to Jason and Lisa. “We need to go down there.”
“Dude, it is too dangerous,” Drake instantly stated.
“Thought you didn’t believe in ghosts?” Clio asked softly.
Drake sent her a warm smile.
“I don’t, but whatever that is… it’s beyond my understanding, and it’s evil,” Drake replied. He touched her shoulder and squeezed gently. Her small hand came up to cover his for a few seconds.
“I am sorry you were hurt,” Clio said. Drake dropped a kiss on her forehead. He knew tonight, surrounded by everyone and strangers, would be hard for her and was happy she’d not fled.
“I’m glad it wasn’t you. But as for you three”—Drake turned to the investigators—“if you go down there, be fucking careful. Because that thing isn’t messing around.”
“Believe it or not, we do this for a living. We’ll take precautions,” Lisa promised. “But for now, how about you check out Wing E, floor one?”
“Yeah, once I’ve eaten,” Drake muttered, giving them all a baleful glance.
Team Two – Crematorium
Apache
Apache muttered furiously under his breath. This was not his idea of fun whatsoever. He wasn’t frightened of crematoriums, as Rage owned one, but this place was a scene from a horror movie. Trees brushed against the windows in the small entrance hall they stood in, while everything was covered in cobwebs or a thick layer of dust.
“Can you talk to us?” Penny was asking while waving the EVP recorder around.
“Do not fuckin’ speak to us,” Apache murmured.
