CHAPTER TWO: THE THIRD OWNER PART TWO
The group made their way up the stairs to the top floor of the house, and Eva was wondering what Colin, the World War I vet was going to look like.
"Colin?" Joey called out as they reached the top floor, and they all ended up screaming and backing against the wall when they found themselves facing a young man pointing a pistol directly at them. "Whoa! Whoa!" He immediately pushed Dawn behind him to protect her if possible.
"Don't shoot! Don't shoot!" Dawn yelped. "We're on your side!"
Oli did his best to keep his voice calm. "Stop. Put the gun down."
Colin kept his pistol trained on the group, staring at them with an intensity that was unnerving, and then he spotted the gold bar that Joey was still holding. "Where did you get that?" he demanded, nodding to the gold and took a step closer toward him, making them all cringe.
"The safe," Tim answered quickly. "We got it from the safe."
Colin narrowed his eyes. "Are you trying to steal my gold?"
"No!" Joey protested. "We're here to help you!"
"We're not your enemy," Dawn added. "We're on the same side here."
By this point, Eva had managed to get over the initial shock and was now taking in how young and handsome Colin looked for a World War I vet. "Side note," she blurted out. "Why are you so attractive?"
"Seriously, Eva?" Benny asked, staring at her like she'd gone mad. "That's what you want to know?"
Colin ignored their bickering, still focused on the gold bar. "Let me see it," he insisted, reaching for the gold bar in Joey's hand.
"Put the gun down!" Oli ordered, not trusting him not to shoot them the second he had the gold, and give how the guy was acting, it was highly possible.
Colin must've realized that they wouldn't let him near them while his pistol was out. "I'm gonna put this away," he said in a calmer voice, and he shoved the pistol into its holster to prove that he was being serious about his pistol. "Just let me see it."
"Those muscles,"Eva breathed and Lele giggled in agreement.
'Oh Lordy,' Dawn thought, wishing that their hormones wouldn't kick in, and while she could see that Collin was definitely good-looking for a ghost, there was a time and a place, and this wasn't the time or the place! 'Seriously?!'
Joey hesitantly handed the gold bar to Colin, who took it and turned it over in his hands, staring at it, and a smile etched itself across his face, which got more giggles from Eva and Lele. "It's all coming back to me now."
"What?" Joey asked.
"Can you help us?" Oli asked, hoping that this particular person would be able to provide more help then the last owner. The priest had been able to provide them with the journal, which had been very helpful so far.
Colin looked at them questioningly. "You want me to help you?"
"Yes! Please!" said Eva very eagerly.
"Ok," Colin agreed, setting the gold bar on the railing and pulled his green uniform shirt over his white shirt and suspenders. "If we're gonna get out of here, we're gonna need some gear, okay?" He then picked up his green backpack. "Here's my rucksack. If you need anything along the way, just let me know."
"I'm scared," Lele said in a flirty voice that had the guys and Dawn staring at her like she'd gone mad, too.
Colin ignored her and handed the gold bar back to Joey while grabbing his rifle. "The other thing we gotta do is, we gotta get outside," he continued. "We gotta get to my two-way and radio my CO. He's gonna give us our mission objective, and he's gonna tell us where to go from there, all right?"
"I wouldn't mind being stuck for a hundred years with this guy," Lele whispered to Eva, and she nodded in agreement, her face a deep pink.
"Would you two stop?" Oli hissed at them.
"He's so hot…"
"Shhh!"
"Follow me, boys and girls," said Colin with a smile and he started down the stairs with Eva and Lele hurrying after him cooing things like "I'm scared" and "Can you hug me?"
Joey, Benny, Oli, Tim, and Dawn stared after the two girls with exasperated expressions.
"Crushing on a ghost? Seriously?" Dawn asked and the three boys shrugged while she sighed and rolled her eyes. "Come on, let's get going and get this over with."
They agreed and they hurried down the stairs after Colin, Eva, and Lele, determined to not be left behind.
A/N: Yes, Collin is good-looking, but there is a time and place! And that place isn't when someone is pointing at gun at you! See you all tomorrow! Bye for now! R&R everyone!
