Ghost and Sunny chuckled.
“Guess we are going down,” Diesel mumbled.
“You’re buying into this?” Apache demanded.
“Got no choice, dude. We’re on camera. Can you imagine what Alice will say if I lose my balls?”
Determination in his strides, Diesel took the lead but kept a wary eye out. Just as they reached the bottom of the stairs, a little voice rang out.
“Daddy, come and play.”
“That’s it! I am done!” Apache cried in a high-pitched voice. The others moved and blocked him in.
“No chance,” Sunny said firmly.
“I’m not a shaman. Whatever in there is well and truly beyond my control,” Apache explained, fear in his tone.
“Maybe you ought to sit this one out,” Madisen suggested in a pitying tone.
Apache’s spine stiffened.
“I am no coward.”
“Never said you were. I was trying to be sensitive to your beliefs,” Madisen retorted.
“Thank you,” Apache replied stiffly. His beliefs were something he didn’t discuss often.
“Wonder if anyone else ended up in a basement,” Wild asked. Apache noted Wild’s eyes were darting from side to side, expecting an ambush at any time.
“The temperature just dropped,” Diesel announced, holding out his piece of equipment.
“That’s the sign of a ghost being present. Ghost, see if you’re picking anything up on the EMF,” Penny replied excitedly as they walked down the hallway. At the end was a metal door; Apache had a gut feeling it held the furnaces used to burn bodies.
Every instinct he had was screaming at him to get out of there. It wasn’t just the spooky atmosphere, but something was there watching them. He paused as he heard a skittering noise and shone his torch above his head. Nothing moved, and the noise stopped. Apache drew in a deep breath and followed the others. His beliefs alone wouldn’t stop them from getting hurt, but he may catch something that could save them.
“This feels wrong,” Penny exclaimed as they entered the furnace room.
“Been telling you that,” Apache muttered under his breath.
“Put the REM Pod down and turn on the spirit box,” Sunny said.
No sooner had they done so than the REM Pod lit up.
“There’s something here,” Mina added warily.
The skittering noise started again, and everyone looked around them.
“Can you talk to us?” Penny asked bravely.
“Mine,”the spirit box spat out.
“Who is?” Penny demanded.
“Souls,”came the ghoulish reply.
“Do you like to frighten people?” Mina questioned.
“Feed me.”
