Ch.8
Detectives Pogue thought when he saw the man and woman standing with Reid.
"You must be Pogue Parry," detective Taves said.
"Yes," Pogue said, nodding his head.
" Well it looks like we can kill two birds with one stone," said detective Roberts.
"I'll take Mr. Parry you can have Mr. Garwin," detective Taves said.
"Thanks," detective Roberts said, sarcastically.
" You have teenagers you should be used to attitude," detective Taves said smiling.
"I need to call my mom and tell her that me and Reid will be late or she'll get worried," Pogue said.
"Now see if I ever have a kid I wand one like him," said Detective Taves said.
"Unfortunately you can't put in an order for what you want. Come on Reid," Detective Roberts said.
"Don't I need a parent or guardian or something?' Reid asked.
"Your 18 right?"
"Yeah," Reid answered.
"Then no and besides this isn't an integration it's just a interview to find out what you know," Detective Roberts said, heading for the conference room.
Reid's Interview
"Okay Reid tell me everything you remember about the events of this morning," Detective Roberts said.
"I was having this sweet dream about this beautiful young thing and we were just about to get it on when Tyler jumped on me and woke me up. He scared the shit outta me I didn't even know he was coming back today. Then I got up and got ready to take a shower. After I showered and shaved I went back to the room and that's when I found Tyler," Reid concluded.
" Did anyone see you while you were in the bathroom?" Detective Roberts asked.
"Plenty of people saw me including Caleb and Sarah," Reid answered.
"I'll need a list of names of the people who saw you. I know who Caleb is. But who is Sarah?"
Detective Roberts asked.
"Sarah is Caleb's girl friend," Reid answered.
"Oh I see. How about on the way back to the room did you see anyone you didn't know or who looked suspicious ?" Detective Roberts asked.
"I didn't see anyone with a big flashing neon sign that said just trashed your room and beat the crap outta one of your best friends."
Thinking back Reid realized that he had been so preoccupied with the whole Tallie thing. That he probably wouldn't have noticed if someone had walked by with a flashing neon sign.
"Reid Ried," detective Roberts called, snapping his fingers in front of Reid's face.
Reid blinked in surprise as his mind snapped back into the present.
"Everything okay? Did you think of something?"
"Yeah everything's fine and no I didn't think of anything," Reid answered.
"Are you sure? I lost you there for a minute," detective Roberts said.
"I was just thinking about who I saw on the way back from the bathroom," Reid answered.
"So who did you see?" detective Roberts asked.
"The only people I saw where two girls from government class and that prick Aarron Abbott and there was absolutely nothing unusual," Reid answered.
"Are you sure? What where you thinking about just a minute ago?"
" I was just trying to remember if I'd seen anything strange."
"Well," detective Roberts prodded.
"I didn't"'
"Your sure?" Detective Roberts asked, again.
Pogues' Interview
"Would you like something to drink before we get started?" Detective Taves asked.
"No thanks," Pogue answered.
"What can you tell me about the events of this morning?" detective Taves asked.
"Not much really. I didn't see Reid or Tyler at all this morning. Me and my girlfriend met Caleb and his girlfriend for breakfast like always. Caleb told us that he had Sarah had seen Reid in the bathroom and he said he'd see them at breakfast. When he didn't show up we went looking for him and that's when we found Reid and Tyler," Pogue finished.
"Did you see anyone you didn't recognize? Or anyone who liked suspicious?" Detective Taves asked.
"No we didn't see anyone," Pogue answered.
"Okay Pogue thank you for you help we'll get in touch if we need anything else," detective Taves said.
Pogue and Reid met up out side behind the school under an old tree.
"So what did you tell him?" Pogue asked.
"I told him the truth," Reid answered.
Pogue raised his eyebrows in question.
"Well I mostly told the truth. I just left out the part about the ghost who showed me her own murder."
Before Pogue could respond his cell phone rang.
"It's Caleb, " Pogue said, looking at the caller i.d.
""Hey what's up? Did my mom talk to you?"
"Yeah thanks for the heads up. I need to know your story so they'll be the same," Caleb said.
"Alright but first but first I want to hear about Reid's ghost," Pogue said.
"Yeah I wanna hear this too. Put me on speaker,"Caleb said.
Pogue and Caleb listened in silence as Reid told them about the events of the morning leading up to him finding Tyler.
"Wow," Pogue said.
"We need to get together later and talk more about this ghost and what happened. Until then Reid I think you need to be careful an get away from the school," Caleb said.
"No problem there," Reid said, smiling.
"I think I'm going to hang around and check out the library. Maybe Tallie and Austin used to be students at Spencer and I can find out more about them," Pogue said.
Reid's' face suddenly turned serious. "Be carful," Reid said, looking a little freighted.
"You too," Pogue said, as he headed for the school and Reid for the parking lot.
Pogue sat in geometry class trying to pay attention to what was being said and failing miserable. Finale Pogue gave up and raised his hand.
"Yes Mr. Parry," the teacher said.
"May I please go to the lavatory?" Pogue asked.
The teacher nodded her approval. As Pogue stood up to leave he turned and gave a smile to Kate that he hoped didn't look as fake as it felt.
Pogue looked into the mirror after splashing some cold water on his face, and jumped when he saw a young boy standing behind him. Where did he come from Pogue wonder? He hadn't heard the door open and no one else and been in the bathroom when he came in. The boy wasn't dressed in the Spencer Academy uniform so he wasn't a student.
The boy said one word "Run".
"What? Who are you?"
"I can't protect you for long you have to go now," the boy said.
The urgency in the boy's voice had Pogue heading for the door before he could think about it.
Pogue was half way to the door when the room suddenly got cold and the air was so charged with electricity that the hairs on Pogues' arms stood up straight.
Pogue turned around to see if the boy had noticed the change. The boy stood looking at him sadly.
"It's to late he's here," the boy said, as a shadow moved away from the rest in the corner. Pogue couldn't make out a face on the thing in front of him that kept shifting like smoke in front of him. The boy move to stand between Pogue and the figure.
"Get out of here I'll handle him," Pogue said, reaching for the boy.
Pogue gasped as his hand went right through the boys shoulder.
Even though Pogue couldn't see a face he could feel the creature smiling at him.
"Now you know what he is and I know what you are boy, you and your friends. I will have the power of the Ipswich.
"No you want," the boy screamed, suddenly there was a blast of power so strong that it threw Pogue through the bathroom door and it to the wall across the hallway.
I can't believe I'm here again twice in one day Reid thought as he paced the floor of the E.R. waiting room.
Detectives Roberts and Taves had been interviewing Caleb when Pogues' mother had called in nearly hysterical saying the Pogue and been attacked.
Ever since Reid had arrived detective Roberts had not stopped staring at him. Kate and Sarah had arrived and the detective had barely even glanced at them. Finale detective Roberts stood up and stretched.
"Reid can we talk privately for a minute?" detcetive Roberts asked.
"I don't want to miss the doctor," Reid answered.
"It want take long and it's very important. Please?" detective Roberts asked.
Reid looked at Caleb who just shrugged. Reid stood up and followed the detective out of the room. Detective Roberts found an empty room and lead the way in.
"Reid I've been thinking about this since the first time we met and there is no easy way to tell you this." Detective Roberts said.
"Aw man your not going to hit on me are you?" Reid asked, backing up.
Detective Roberts shook his head.
"A smart ass just like your dad."
"You know my dad? Wait you're not his lover are you? NO! Don't tell me I don't want to know."
Detective Roberts shook his head again.
"I know what you and your friends are," Detective Roberts said.
"I have no idea what you're talking about," Reid said, his heart pounding so loudly he was sure the detective could hear it.
"Maybe this will refresh your memory," detective Roberts said.
Reid stood staring as detective Roberts eyes turned solid black.
