Chapter
1 7
I left the room and as soon as I was
in the hallway, I got a phone call.
“Logan here,” he said.
“Yes?”
“Alright. Savannah wants me to
translate that article for you. I don’t know what it was you said to her, but
whatever you did to get her to talk about that paranormal garbage you need to
knock it off!”
“Excuse me? I can’t promise that.”
“You really don’t get it, do you?
This ghost stuff isn’t a joke, especially not to her. Since I’m the one left
picking up the pieces after she gets to wrapped up in one of her cases, I’m
telling you. Leave it alone for her sake, and yours,” he told me.
“What happened to Savannah? Why
doesn’t she work paranormal cases anymore?” I asked.
“It’s not something she likes to
talk about,” Logan said with a sigh.
“I gathered that, but can you tell
me?”
“When we’re travelling, I spend
weeks with her touring on buses, long plane flights, we talk a lot. I know
everything about her childhood, her best friend’s dog’s name from when she was
five, her favorite ice cream flavor, she’s very chatty.”
“Then what has she told you about-“
Logan cut me off, already knowing
the end to my question, “Nothing, not a single word.
I’ve
asked, and when I do, she just goes quiet and excuses herself. She’s never told
me to stop bugging her about it, but I can tell that she wants to. That’s why I
don’t want you bothering her about it either. Whatever happened when she was
writing the second ghost book… it really got to her.”
“Second ghost book?” I asked. This
was the first I had heard of it.
“Wasn’t supposed to mention that.
It’s a secret, and it’s not done so don’t think you’re going to get your hands
on it… I don’t even know if she still has the manuscript. She had me tell her
publisher she burned it, but I don’t know if that’s the truth.”
“Well, speaking of her books, I need
a copy of the first ghost book she wrote. Could you help me out with that?”
“Sure! Bookstores are a great start.
Or the internet is helpful, but I’m more a brick and mortar person, honestly. I
suppose you could also go the books on tape route – TV’s Ralston Popplers does
an excellent job with the text… really makes it come alive,” he said, back to
the guy who hung up on me… twice.
“No, I meant, could you send me a
copy?”
“Oh! Nope, but thank you for
asking.”
“Have you finished translating that
article yet?”
“Just about, I’ll have it sent to
you as soon as I finish.”
“Thanks. Talk to you later.”
“Goodbye,” he said and hung up.
Improvising... This is a pic that I took and edited myself. Thought it looked sorta spooky! (insert cute ghost smiley here) =D
