“Didn’t Dave say there was a creeper thing?” Casey questioned.

“That’s what we just saw?” Pyro asked, amused.

“Explain that shit then, smart ass,” Casey shot back.

Pyro opened his mouth and then shut it.

“Are you the creeper?” Ali-kat shouted.

“Do not ask questions like that,” Gunner snapped uneasily.

“Why not?”

“Because if it is, it might not like being called that,” Gunner replied.

“But you don’t believe in ghosts!” Artemis retorted, and Casey smugly nodded.

“No, but when things are about to go tits up, I can feel it,” Gunner murmured, looking around. He sensed eyes on them, and they weren’t friendly. “Head to the kitchen.”

Nobody argued as they made their way into it and started their questions again. Halfway through, a loud bang caused them all to jump, and Tati jumped into Rock’s arms. He looked down at her, bemused.

“Big Al won’t be too happy. Nor would Carly,” he said.

“Dude, if something is coming after me, I’ll sacrifice you first,” Tati retorted, and Rock chuckled.

“I’ll protect you, little one,” Rock teased, and Tati cracked him in the ribs.

“Enough messing, what was that bang?” Gunner demanded as he led the way out. To their surprise, they saw one of the static cameras had fallen.

“That’s impossible. They have a triad stand, so they can’t just tip over,” a cameraman said, approaching the fallen camera.

“There’s no damage to the tripod,” the second added as they righted everything and put it back in its place. Considering the bang, Gunner was surprised when the camera started working immediately.

“Look,” the first cameraman stated. He’d been reviewing the footage, and they all saw a shadow pass by the camera seconds before it fell.

“We should leave,” Gunner said, concerned for the welfare of his team.

“Not likely. I’ve got the feeling something didn’t want us in the kitchen,” Casey challenged him.

Gunner sighed. The women were most definitely digging their heels in.

“Casey, I get you’re excited, but something is seriously off here. That shadow, the camera being knocked over. We might not be the only ones here,” Gunner said slowly.

“Yes, ghosts, and we want to contact them,” Artemis interrupted.

“Okay, a deal. Should anything dangerous happen, you obey and get the fuck out of here,” Gunner bargained.

“Done!” Artemis snapped. “And Gunner, you didn’t say on whose version of danger we leave. I have a totally different version to you!”

Gunner groaned. The hot heads. How the hell did he end up with them again? He followed everyone back to the kitchen as the girls began asking questions.

His eyes sliced from right to left, and he noticed Rock doing the same. Pyro was also alert. The three of them now realised something was really wrong with this place, and they weren’t prepared to let anyone get hurt. Meanwhile, Tati was almost glued to Pyro’s side.

A movement caught Gunner’s eyes, and he saw the black mass again. He nodded at Rock and tilted his head.

“Run,”the spirit box said.

“Huh? Why?” Artemis questioned.
