Oh god, Rebecca!
She pushed past them to find Rebecca standing in the middle of the room, holding up her phone.
“And this is a picture of Rhys and Moe, they are her mates. Aren’t they gorgeous? Yup, he does look like a fallen angel. Uh huh, I’m pretty sure Moe is quite handy.” Rebecca nodded smiling.
Nope, this isn’t happening.
“Come on Rebecca, time to go.” Abby grabbed Rebecca’s wrist and hauled her outside. Everyone except Rebecca was breathless and shaking.
“That was rude!” Rebecca protested.
Just then the front door slammed shut.
“Sebastian?” Abby said, pointing to Rebecca.
“On it.” Sebastian slung Rebecca over one shoulder.
Giddey and Abby picked up the cooler and Ashby led the way back as they all ran back to the diner.
Abby pushed the door open and was relieved to see her mates waiting for her. Their warm smiles of welcome turned into frowns of concern when they saw how hard she was breathing.
“AbbyGirl, what on earth happened?” Moe asked, standing and quickly folding her into his arms. Instantly Rhys was behind her, effectively sandwiching her between their bodies. She immediately felt safer.
“Becca! Sebastian, is she okay?” Aleks pulled Rebecca off of Sebastian’s shoulder and carried her over to a chair cuddling her in his lap.
“I’m fine, these four have lost their damn minds though,” Rebecca said, throwing her hands in the air.
The second Gabriel pulled Ashby into his arms the small man burst into tears.
“What happened?” Gabriel growled.
Ma took one look at the wobbly group, reached under the counter, and pulled out a brown glass bottle. Abby raised an eyebrow, but accepted the mug Ma offered. As she expected it burned like hell going down, but the aftereffect felt like her stomach had become a cozy little fireplace. Rebecca was coughing and sputtering. Midget never could hold her liquor.
“Ma, what is that?” Sebastian asked, sounding less shaky.
“Just something I keep for medicinal purposes.” She eyed the shaking Ashby with concern.
“Connor can you bring out those Lava Fudge Brownies? I think they’re needed.”
“Sure thing, Ma.” Connor pulled a pan from the warmer and brought them over to the center table.
It was only after everyone was seated with a mug of Ma’s “medicine” and a plate full of sin that the small group of ghost hunters relaxed.
“Okay, now what happened?” Moe asked.
“It was the damnedest thing. All the bedroom doors slammed shut one by one.” Abby shook her head at the memory.
“That doesn’t sound so odd,” Liam said, still rubbing Sebastian’s back.
Sebastian looked up at Liam with a sick expression. “Then they opened by themselves and slammed again.” His words silenced the diner.
“Was that what I heard? She said that Isaiah was playing,” Rebecca said, munching down on her brownie. She was the only one that didn’t look the least bit scared.
“It was definitely a ghost,” Sebastian said.
“Oh man! I wanted to see the ghost.” Rebecca pouted.
“Unbelievable.” Abby took another bite of brownie. It figures that the freakiest stuff would happen to Rebecca and she didn’t even realize it.
