“We had a visit.”

“From a ghosty?” he questioned, and I couldn’t help but roll my eyes.

These were the men who were going to save MY ass from the big bad monsters? Lord help me, I think I’m in trouble!

“No!” I snapped and got up, slowly pulling Zander to his feet. “From the Maytag repairman, Everett! Yes, from a ghost, and not only a ghost, but apparently the one who wrote the little love note on the wall in the kitchen!”

“Baby, calm down,” Zander whispered as the tips of my hair began to flutter off my back.

I glanced over at him and took a deep breath, then moved passed the old man and his two sidekicks and walked into the living room. Walters was standing at the kitchen counter pouring sugar and creamer into several different cups and then he turned to me, a white powered mustache across his upper lip. He smiled, offered me a cup and I shook my head, taking the warm Styrofoam and stepping out the door.

The cool breeze of the morning air swept across my face, cooling the fire that burned within me. Then I looked up at the multicolored sky as the sun rose higher, casting an orange glow above the trees. Sunrise was the only good thing I remembered about my childhood. The sunrise meant the end of the terrifying nights that I spent curled up under the covers of my bed, and I closed my eyes to take in the warmth.

I smiled as soon as I felt it, the telltale pulse of Zander as he stepped quietly out the door, coffee in hand. He quietly sat down on the two-foot high wall of stone slabs that my thighs leaned against.

“I’m sorry, but it’s like a freaking school trip for these guys,” I muttered angrily as I kept my eyes tightly shut. “Do they even take this seriously?”

“When it comes down to it, yeah, they’re the best there is.” I opened my eyes and looked over at him, coffee in one hand, chocolate frosted donut in the other, and I smiled.

“I think they have a bit of hero worship for you.” I grinned and watched him cough as he swallowed the hot coffee that he had just taken a sip of.

“Oh yeah,” he laughed. “How so?”

“Well, to say the least, you are the best looking one of the bunch, not to mention at the moment you have the undivided attention of a girl, whom they have all been scolded at for staring at, innocently, and you seem to have the run of the operation,” I replied, the smile in my voice, as I slipped my hands in my pockets and leaned back on the large SUV that sat behind me. “Thank you, Zander.”

“For what?” he inquired, quite confused.

“For saving my ass from being trampled, handcuffed, beaten up by a ghoul in a cave and oh yeah, for the little heroics in the bedroom with the gun.” I smiled, looking at him as he glanced around.
