Chapter Seven

My main now concern was finding Ellen.

The moment I got down I ran through the main hall, kicking debris out of my way and aiming the torch in all directions, gasping for breath and searching wildly. I dumped the bags and noticed that although the place was cold, I was sweating like hell. “Ellen…Ellen…where are you?”

Like a mad person, I ran between the pillars, opening doors to every room and peering inside. I called her name again and again in panic.

It was a large building with many rooms—each door I opened yielded nothing.

“Give me back my wife!” I screamed at the top of my voice, standing and turning wildly around in the middle of the hall. “Give her back to me now!”

I aimed the torch towards the stack of materials, the same spot where we were before, and to my horror Ellen was standing motionless on the top rung of a ladder.

I was shocked to see where she was, hanging perilously onto an unstable piece of metal. “How the hell did you get up there, Ellen? Come down, honey; it isn’t safe!” I pleaded

She was holding on with both hands but she didn’t move or respond to my voice.

“Ellen, if you don’t come down, I’m gonna come up and get you!”

The ladder was around 12 feet high and was perched right next to the higher one that the workman fell from. I was relieved that at least she was on the lower one, but if she fell from 12 feet onto a stone-hard floor then it would be a catastrophe.

I spotlighted her face with the torch just as she turned her head to speak to me. “Go away, you’re not welcome…I’m in control here get out!”

It was a ghost using Ellen’s body to communicate probably the same one who encouraged her to lean over the balcony, caused my fall on the steps, and pushed me over the table. It wasn’t the friendly ghost she’d encountered in the room. “I’m not going anywhere,” I told the entity in no uncertain terms. “Give me back my wife, fight Ellen, fight!”

“I warned you!” she replied angrily.

“Ellen, can you hear me? I’m here; its Monty…honey you have to fight. Push him away; use everything you’ve got and hang on to that ladder. I’m coming up.”

In the light I could see she was barefoot. There was no sign of her shoes anywhere, and as I reached the first rung of the ladder and stepped up, I figured it was best to go real slow. “I’m coming up.” I said in a deadly serious tone.

“What…what am I doing up here? Monty, oh my God!”

To my great relief she was back. Problem was she was stuck up a ladder in the dark and didn’t know how she got there. I knew that I couldn’t let her panic and slip but I was worried because of her fear of heights “I’m going to help you down. Don’t move.”

“Where are my shoes, Monty?”

“We’ll find them; don’t worry, just keep still.
