"Want to talk about it?" Shawn finally asked as they sat by the fireplace in the hotel bar.

"Talk about what?" Cary hedged as she stared blankly into the fire.

"What happened at the Witch House," Shawn encouraged the moody brunette.

"I can’t," Cary stammered. "I just," she blew out heavily. "It must have been the house settling."

"Tell me?" Shawn urged her on.

"I was standing perfectly still and the floor was moving," Cary tried to explain. "Then you started gasping and suddenly I was afraid. I don’t understand it. I’ve haven’t been that afraid since," her voice trailed off as her lips tightened into a snarl.

"The gun jammed," Shawn finished. "You got the all clear and stepped into the bathroom and found yourself staring into the barrel of a gun."

"That is really annoying," Cary smiled for the first time in hours. "Yeah, I was still a patrol woman and thank goodness that weasel’s gun jammed. Otherwise I wouldn’t be sitting her all embarrassed because I ran off into the night just because of a creaking floorboard. How much do you see?"

"Oh now you believe me," Shawn laughed. "Not much. You’re a little difficult to read. I do know that you think that you are going to back out of Whispering Pines, but you’re going."

"I can’t work with her," Cary snarled. "Do you know why?" She added slightly nervous.

"No," Shawn confessed as she felt her cell phone vibrating. "Powers back on," she grumbled as she extracted the phone from her coat pocket. "Speak of the devil," she shook her head as she answered the phone. "I’m not speaking to you."

"Then why did you finally answer my call?" Faith taunted her.

"My phone went down earlier," Shawn sneered. "How was your lap dance?"

"I didn’t get a lap dance," Faith protested. "Discussing business in a Tittie bar was Dave’s idea."

"Funny, when ever I meet him for business it is in an office," Shawn bitterly countered. "I’m too tired to argue with you tonight, Faith," Shawn sighed not missing at the way Cary bristled when she mentioned the reporter. She shook her head as it was suddenly filled with the sound of a small girl crying. "I have back to back shoots tomorrow. First a boat ride out to Misery Island then the Joshua Ward House."

"I thought you weren’t going back there?" Faith groused. "Damn it Shawn, the last time you went to the Ward House you ended up with a migraine that lasted a week."

"It is Salem," Shawn tried to argue. "What is happening in Atchison? Did you go to Molly’s Hollow?"

"Yes and a fun filled trip to the cemetery," Faith complained. "Trudy kept screaming and scaring the locals. I swear I didn’t see or hear a thing."

"You’re working with Trudy," Shawn chuckled knowing how much Faith couldn’t stand Trudy. It didn’t matter that Shawn didn’t enjoy working with the boisterous woman either; the fact that Faith was stuck in Kansas with Trudy pleased her. "I’m sure the sight of all those naked women made you feel better," she added in a bitter tone.
