Chapter 8

Our meeting with Gavin Smythe was what paranormal investigator dreams are made of when they aren’t dreaming about kissing gorgeously handsome ghosts. Or being visited in the middle of the night by one. I woke believing that Caspian had come to me last night and we’d gotten all hot and heavy on the bed, him above the covers and me under them, unfortunately. The smile on my face would not calm down, not even for our meeting and I was sure Gavin Smythe thought I was a touch crazy.

We told him that the ghost of the little girl, Amanda, made contact. Carlos showed him the footage of me holding the bear in the elevator. Eve had briefed me to say that earlier Carlos had discovered something almost as good as me being inhabited. He found an anomaly of a light-colored shape the size of a small person entering the elevator where I sat with the bear. Our temperature detectors showed a blob of green coldness on the screen right over the shape. Carlos played the footage for Gavin and from my seat beside him, I heard his breath catch in his throat.

“That’s amazing,” he said.

I knew that any skeptics might think that I was simply trying to act like a little girl from my spot on the floor of the elevator, but the footage of the coldness merging with me, was impressive, Eve had assured me. The moment the green blob covered my body, it disappeared, and I started speaking like Amanda.

Gavin was convinced of the ghost’s appearance and inhabitation and took to his walkie-talkie to summon someone named Dave to our table where we were tucked into the corner of the restaurant. “I hoped you’d find something but never imagined…” his voice trailed off. Footsteps approached on the tile floor and the hotel manager greeted Dave. “Take a look.”

I listened while everyone watched the screen. Everyone but me. I hated being blind but at moments like this, I hated it more than usual. I was lucky to pick up on a sense of wonderment from the two men who were watching the tape and a sense of satisfaction from both Eve and Carlos. But I wanted eyesight too. I wanted to read Dave’s expression, not just feel that he was a big paranormal skeptic and was trying to figure out how we jimmied the tape to look like this.

“I sense you don’t believe it, Dave,” I said, mostly to mess with him. “I assure you, as I sat in the elevator last night, the ghost of a little girl inhabited me.” I took a sip of my tea.

“It isn’t that I don’t believe in ghosts,” Dave said, but never finished. He didn’t need to. We came across this all the time.

“It’s that you don’t believe we see them. It’s fine,” I said, setting my mug on the table. “Eve? Can you order me two scrambled eggs and wheat toast with jam, please?” I was ravenous, having been up all night and down a couple of meals.
