Chapter Four The Night Of Ghosts And Goblins
Colonel Richmond would be scratching his head for the moment.
He really didn't know what to think of the recent reports about the three towns and the those in and around them disappearing.
Along with the general fact all three of those towns having been left in some mess. However for now. He'd sent his two best agents for the secret service to investigate.
On his mind of late. He normally would have to go with the general question, on whether Dr. Loveless would be involved with another scheme of his.
However with the investigation being some what just starting out. He just needs to be patience for when it comes to the answers.
After taking off his hat and placing it on his desk of his office. He'd started to think about someone else to be on his mind. Rose Marie Cerley. Hopefully after sending her on her latest mission. He would at least get the chance to speak with her further.
But with the past few weeks being some hectic. He's not had the time to speak with her on a more personal/intimate level.
One thing for sure. She is a woman that knows her job really well foremost. And very feisty for when it comes to taking orders from those around her. Just the kind of woman he likes the most.
Making him chuckle at the thought of her at this time. Taking a look around his office for the other reports left in the far corner of his desk.
It would be mostly clear and cool outside for the middle of October. One thing he would hate the most to have it start to snow to be some what strange in its self. Making it harder for everyone this region to travel around. Unless you have horses or carriages to get around with their traveling.
Colonel Richmond didn't need to leave his office at this time. Since it would be only 11 a.m. Too early for lunch. He just went about his business with his large pile of paperwork that needed to be done.
While sighing and digging in for the next hour or so. Hopefully he would be lucky with someone coming in to interrupt his work and thinking.
In The town of Andersonville, North Carolina
Secret Service agent Rose Marie Cerley. She'd the strangest feeling. She'd been here before. Even though the town is a total mess. Just like the last one she was in a few days ago.
She and Janice were thinking. Maybe it was some type of strange weather pattern might of wiped out the small town of three hundred. With no bodies in sight to see. Though they haven't check any of the buildings as yet after just arriving.
"We need to be careful here Janice." Not knowing what to expect at this time.
Both of the ladies would be getting off their stallions after traveling on their horses some 30 plus miles the past few days.
Rose Marie didn't know what to think at the sight. After moving down from her horse. It would be at that particular moment. Her horse started to buckle a little from something scaring the horse.
As with Janice's black & white stallion. However after a few seconds. The two horses had some what settled down. Without nothing to show for it.
Rose Marie would be shaking her head. While giving her a chill down her back with the complete strangeness of the situation.
Janice walked over to the younger woman having to asked her what was mostly on her mind. "What do you think at this point?"
"To tell you the truth Janice. I don't have a clue. We will need to check some of the buildings. Maybe we will find someone inside them." She says softly.
"Well then lets get moving before it starts to get dark. I don't wish to be around when it does. And just might what comes out of the wood work." She says to have her look at her with a strange expression.
"Meaning?" She asked gently.
"The ghosts and Goblins of Halloween." She replied.
"Fairy tales Janice. Come on lets move now." While the two ladies moved off with taking off their rifles from the two horses to protect themselves.
