4 months had passed since Zak nearly died. Zak and the others were now back in Las Vegas and were back to work. And much to Aaron, Nick, Billy, Jay, Diana and Ashley's surprise he still doesn't remember Angie or Alex. Zak's doctor explained to them that after the traumatic experience Zak's body suffered, memory loss was possible. And only time would tell if Zak would ever regain those lost memories.

Zak was sitting in his office at the GAC office building; he'd been sent some GAC membership applications from the Travel Channel and was reviewing them, to see if these paranormal groups were qualified to carry the title of GAC Crew. Everyone else was gathered in Aaron's office. "I can't believe he still doesn't remember them" Ashley said.

"We've just gotta try harder to make him remember" Billy said.

Nick shook his head. "Despite how much we want to, we can't. His doctor said we can't force the memories to come back. Doing that could cause more memories to be lost." Nick told them.

"Nick's right" Aaron said. "I don't like it, but the doctor said Zak has to remember on his own."

"How come the only thing he seems to have forgotten is Angie and Alex?" Diana questioned.

"I wish I knew" Nick sighed. "I wish I knew."

In Dallas, Angie and Alex were still staying at John Redland's house. Angie had insisted that she and Alex get their own place, but John had told her that there was no need. He enjoyed having them around, and that his house would be so lonely without them. Against her better judgment, Angie gave in and agreed to stay with John.

John was pleased with himself, Angie hadn't mentioned Zak once in weeks now; but he'd come to realize that little Alex was never going to love him as a father, despite how hard he tried, John didn't seem to be able to erase Zak from her little mind.

John was sitting in a chair in his basement, reading through a book, he found what he was looking for and smiled. He'd found a dark magic spell that would bind Angie to him for eternity and result in marriage. He'd also found a fertility spell, which would cause Angie to conceive his child.

John began laughing a wicked evil sounding laugh. If he couldn't get Alex to give him her gift, he'd use dark magic to make Angie forget about Alex, and then he'd be able to use the special gift his own child would be born with.

John got to work, casting his dark magic spells, but knew sadly that there was no amount of dark magic that would make Angie forget about Alex. So he settled on using his dark magic to create conflict between Mother and Daughter; and planned on his own child….his son, replacing Alex in Angie's heart.

Upstairs in the guest room, little Alex sat in a corner of the room crying. "Daddy where are you? Mommy and I need you." Little Alex looked up and smiled, she saw her Nanna standing before her. "Nanna" she called out. "Where's Daddy? Why hasn't he come for us yet?"

Zak's Grandmother looked at her Great Granddaughter with sadness in her eyes. "Your Daddy got very sick four months ago little one, he can't come rescue you and your Mommy until he's all better."

Alex shook her head. "My Angel says that will be too late. Daddy has to come now; before the bad man kisses Mommy." Alex had tears streaming down her cheeks. "Please Nanna can't you take me to my Daddy?"

Zak's Grandmother shook her head. "No, I can't peanut I'm sorry. But keep saying your prayers, and no matter what happens, do not ever stop thinking about your Daddy. Always remember that he loves you and Mommy, and never ever give up hope."

In Las Vegas, at the GAC office, Zak had fallen asleep in his desk chair. Which is something that he and his had noticed was happening more and more…in fact other members of the crew were also starting to fall asleep during the day time too.

~~~~~~Zak's Dream~~~~

Zak was at a paracon that was taking place in Las Vegas, Nevada. Ghost Adventures was a dream of Zak's and Nick's at that time. They were in search of someone else to join them in their quest to find answers about the afterlife. The day's events were over and everyone was gathered in conference room of a hotel. All of the guests were talking, laughing, drinking and having a good time.

Zak was standing off to one side, leaning against a wall, sipping on a bottle of beer; he was drinking that one slowly as he had to drive home yet that night; when a woman walked over to him. "Hi" she said rather nervously and shyly.

"Hi."

"My name's Angie…"

Just then a blonde walked over to Zak and put her arm around him…..it was Jackie. "Zak, baby, I wanna go home."

Zak looked at her confused, this didn't feel right. "We can't go home yet" he mumbled, then turned his attention back to the woman who had just said hi to him.

Jackie snuggled herself up close to his body and ran her hand up and down his chest. "Please….I'll make it worth your while."

~~~~~~End Dream~~~~~~~

Zak woke up then, to the sound of someone calling his name. He looked up and saw Nick standing in his office. "Earth to Zak" Nick called out again.

"Mmmm what Nick?"

"I just wanted to say that I'm gonna head home. I'll be back next month for our lockdown."

Zak nodded his head. "Sure, give my best to Vee and Anna."

Nick nodded and then walked out of Zak's office. Once Nick left, Zak sighed; this falling asleep during the day time was getting worse. He made a mental to note to say something to his doctor about it when he went in for a heart check, which despite his objections, considering his profession, was something the doctor, his Mother, his Step-Father, and his friends insisted he do.

He sat there thinking about the dream he'd just had. It seemed familiar somehow, the woman who had said hi to him seemed familiar. Zak remembered that paracon event clearly, but he couldn't seem to remember Jackie being there with him. Zak shrugged his shoulders and went back to work. "She must have been there, or I wouldn't be dreaming about her being there" Zak thought.

"How was he" Aaron asked Nick, as Nick walked into Aaron's office to say goodbye.

"He was sound to sleep again."

"Again?" Aaron said, yawning. Nick nodded. "He's been sleeping a hell of a lot. And I don't remember his doctor saying anything about that being a side effect of what happened to him."

"That's cause it isn't" Nick stated. "What's worse yet, is I heard him muttering Jackie's name in his sleep."

Aaron's eyes widened in shock. "Are you fucking serious?" Nick nodded. "What the hell?"

Nick shrugged his shoulders. "Keep a close eye on him man. Call if ya need me. I'll see ya next month."

"We'll do" Aaron said.

In Dallas, in John Redland's basement, John had 5 candles setting on the floor in the shape of a pentagram, the candles were lit, and floating in the center of them was the spirit of Jackie.

"How much longer do I have to keep invading his dreams John?"

"Until I say so!" John snapped.

"But it's exhausting. It takes up so much energy. And it's no fun, Zak always wakes up before he and I can have any fun." Jackie said, pouting.

"You will keep doing as you're told if you want to get out of that hell hole you now call home."

"What's the point of my invading his dreams anyway?" Jackie asked.

"The point is, in his dreams, in his subconscious, he still remembers and loves Angie and Alex. And eventually those memories and feelings will work their way into his consciousness and he'll remember them and then come looking for them. And I can not have that…..not yet."

"Not yet?" Jackie repeated.

"Oh, I wouldn't dream of keeping Zak away from Angie and Alex forever" John said with an evil smirk. "I just need him away from them long enough for my spells to work. Then when the time is right, I'll let him come running here to try and save them, only to learn that his beloved Angie will want to be saved from him. And the final crushing blow, will be Angie, giving me a son…..the very son she'd be giving Zak. And he can also watch the death of his precious little Alex. I hate that little brat."

Jackie cackled. "So you my pet, will have to just keep on invading his dreams until I'm ready for you to stop." John said.

"I don't know how much longer I can keep it up John. Invading his dreams and manipulating them to show him what you want him to see takes soooo much energy. I drain as much energy as I can from him just to invade his dreams. I've had to resort to draining energy from his friends just so I have enough to make Zak see what you want him to see."

"Just a little bit longer love." John said.
