Chapter 14 Losing Battle

Cutter

Instead of looking for info on Arthur Morganstein, I'm spending another hour watching her YouTube videos. Three weeks since I've seen her, and I haven't made any progress on the missing girls.

Watching the last two years of Cass's life on her channel is much more interesting to me. At first she mused about aliens and planned trips to Area 51, but she never really went anywhere. She worked at the Mac counter at the mall and went through a celebrity model phase where she recorded tutorials copying their makeup styles. Then a lot of gory zombie and Walking Dead tributes and lately she's been doing the ghost hunting videos, which are by far the most popular.

"What's that lameass song?" Foster asks as he pokes his head in my cabin.

"I don't know, but it's funny as shit because she's sitting there waiting for a ghost to knock on the wall and the song matches perfectly." It's a cheesy song from the 70s about knocking three times on the pipe if you love me. That ghost was knocking her pipes all night long.

Foster chuckles. "How's she doing?"

"Don't know. Haven't talked to her."

He steps inside and leans his back on the wall near the door, arms crossed over his chest. "You get her number?"

"I got it."

He raises his eyebrow like why am I sitting here watching her videos and I haven't called her?

"She's a good girl."

"Yeah?"

"She doesn't need my shit."

He walks in and sits down next to me at my kitchen table. He hasn't even said much yet, and he's already figured me out and got me on the defensive.

"She asked me not to lead her on," I say.

"Calling her is not leading her on."

"If I call her, it means something."

"So call her." He points to her image on the screen.

"I'm not ready for that," I reply as I'm watching her checking out the room on the Queen Mary.

"You ever gonna be ready?" he asks me.

"Probably not." There's some fires that burn deep in my gut that will always keep me from taking on a woman like Cass. I can't do that to her.

"So you're gonna let her go?"

"Trying to, but…"

The video cuts to my face when we first saw the creepy guy on the deck, pans back to the guy, then back to my face. I'm watching her freak out and grinning at her. It changes to slow motion and a dreamy song. I look happy. Happier than I've been in a long time. I like looking at her, watching her, being with her. Then the music changes to wild again and the camera goes wonky as we're running back to the stateroom. You can hear her squealing and my laughter. Yeah, I like being with her.

"She's thinking about you too," Foster says.

"Yeah." She edited the video to focus on my face as I'm looking at her. She left my laughter on the soundtrack here and other places. She likes being with me enough to take time to add me to the video like that.
