Allison tried to remain completely stoic and not let Tyler or any of them see the emotions sweeping through her.

She stared down into her coffee cup. She couldn’t meet his eyes any longer.

They were right about one thing. She didn’t want to die!

As she gazed into her coffee, she felt a sensation of strength slowly begin to fill her veins. She looked up; Tyler was still there, his face just inches from hers.

“I’m here, aren’t I?” she told him softly. “Alive…”

Something in his expression changed. Something she was afraid to see. He cared. He had spoken harshly to her, but he really cared. She didn’t know what had passed between them, but he was there to be her guardian.

“Please, admit that what’s on that screen is unnerving!” she said.

He nodded grimly.

She’d dressed up for years in the manner of Lucy Tarleton, and hosted tours through the house as if it were her own. She was young; Lucy had been young. There’d been jokes about her resembling the young patriot many times before, but it was also true that she’d never seen such a strong resemblance. And no one had ever suggested she was a spitting image of the long-dead heroine.

But it was just a resemblance. Maybe it had always been there.

Even if that was true, a ghost had shown up on film!

A ghost had been in or around the house, day after day....

And she had never known it.

“It’s so much to take in, to get used to,” Kelsey said gently. She nudged Tyler. He rose and stood near her, still watching intently.

“I’m sorry for sounding so cowardly. I’m usually not the type of person who jumps at shadows or…” Her voice faded away. She almost laughed and said, Or believes in ghosts and things that go bump in the night.

She didn’t just believe in ghosts now.

She knew they existed.

She clenched her teeth tightly together.

Trying to run away from what was happening would only make it worse.

Allison squared her shoulders. She looked up at the group and said, “I don’t suppose it would help for me to go home. If I’m the key to this thing as you say, then I guess Tyler was right. I’d better start figuring out how to solve it. Where do we go from here?”

“It’s not that you have to go anywhere. It’s that you have to open your mind to what you see and hear, and discover what the messages might be,” Logan explained.

“But we’re supposed to be doing something, aren’t we?” she asked.

“We are doing things,” Logan assured her. “Kat and Jane are down at the morgue. We’ve been studying the film we’ve taken overnight. Sometimes, when the spirits don’t reach out to us, we can see them on film, so at least we know they’re there.”

“But…that’s it?”

“It’s only ten o’clock,” Kelsey said. “If it was as easy as stepping inside and demanding that everyone who remained in the house show themselves and tell us what’s up, we might be done already.” She sat down next to Allison and continued.
