I tried calling back twice, but it went straight to voice mail. I paced in my room. Was she seeing things? Was there really someone out there? What was going on?

My phone buzzed with a text message.

He’s here.

I typed back as fast as my fingers would fly.

Who? Get out of there!

Her reply was the last thing I wanted to see. Ever.

Old Joe Bush. He’s here.

This was as close as I’ve ever come to screaming in my room. Actually, I did scream, but I got my pillow first and held it against my face.

A few seconds later, my phone rang, and Sarah was back.

“Tell me you were messing with me. Please, Sarah, tell me you were kidding.”

“I’m back in my car. I’m safe, but I wasn’t kidding. He was there, Ryan. He was right there, standing in the shadows.”

“It could have been anyone.” I said these words more out of hope than reality. I knew Old Joe Bush was still out there. I’d seen him myself.

“My camera was on, so I’ll show you. Right now, I’m getting out of here. This is crazy, Ryan. Like really crazy.”

And then she started laughing. She was thrilled and scared to death all at once. Sarah Fincher loved this kind of ride, where the stakes were high and the shocks were off the charts. But even this one got to her more than usual. She was laughing, but it was a hair shy of turning into crying. I knew her well enough to know that much.

Someone was watching us. Someone knew. And that someone was out there with my friend, keeping an eye on what was his.

“I got it. I got what we were supposed to find.”

Those were the last words Sarah said before stepping into the hotel lobby.
