Mr. Monk and The Haunted House

The night was dark and the windows were shining. A knife flashed and blood went everywhere.

Unfortunately no one knew it was real. Except for one person.

Natalie's phone rang. She moaned rolled over and stared at her alarm clock. 2:00 am...it better not be Mr. Monk. Natalie thought to herself. She grabbed her phone and answered.

" yes" She said annoyed.

" Natalie" She could right away it wasn't Monk. " There's been a murder...at the Haunted house on 97th street" Stottlemeyer. " You need to bring Monk here now" He explained.

" Why now?" Natalie asked irritated

" It's a haunted house no one will think it's a real murder.." He tried to explain.

"alright we'll be there...as soon as I can get sleeping beauty up" She moaned. Stottlemeyer chuckled.

Natalie knocked on Adrian Monk's door. He slowly made his way to the door. He opened the door to find a fully dressed Natalie in front of him. He squinted as if he expected the sun to be out.

"Mr. Monk I know how you feel but there is a murder and the Captian thinks you need to come over there right away " Then Natalie coughed. She instantly covered her mouth and handed Monk a wipe. He looked at it strangely being as it was 2:15 in the morning. Natalie looked at Adrian before he realized that he was staring she told him herself.

" Mr. Monk anyday now..." Natalie said cranky because she had been woken up this early in the morning.

"right...right..what was I thinking oh yeah it's 2:15 in the morning" Adrian tried his best to sound sarcastic. Natalie just shook her head. She definitly didn't want to deal with Adrian at 2:15 in the morning. They got in the car and drove to the Haunted House. Adrian's eyes were wide when he saw where they were. Natalie looked to him and could see that he was afraid not like one of his fears mind you ,but deathly afraid. Natalie reached over and touched his hand.

" I'm here" She told him. Then she coughed again and removed her hand giving him another wipe. Adrian looked at it. He realized it wasn't nessesary because she hadn't coughed on him. He didn't use it and this didn't go unnoticed by Natalie.

" Don't...let go" Adrian pleaded with Natalie as he placed his hand into her's. Natalie was utterly shocked,but then she saw the fear in his eyes. He more afraid of what might be then what he knows. Natalie thought to herself.

" I won't Mr. Monk I won't but we have to get out of this car." Natalie explained. They got out and Adrian made sure he took Natalie's hand soon as he could. Natalie didn't know what it was but even though he was frightened she wondered why ...why he wasn't afraid of her hand. She looked down at their hands intertwined. She bit her lip and looked away. The image flashed through her mind as they entered the Haunted House hands together. She coughed again. She looked at Adrian he shook his head.

" You haven't coughed on me yet" He smiled.
