So it's been about four monthes since I last updated you and so much has happened. First off, I've been on six cases with TAPS and everyone of them has been great. My brother has been pretty much inducted in and is really taking an interest in it. Patrick has pretty much become my unofficial roomate and I found out that he and Piers from work are fraternal twin brothers so Piers hangs out at the house alot. I have become great friends with all the new people I've met, including Kristen and Matt from work. It's usually just me, Patrick, Adam, Piers, Ellie, Lucas, and my brother hanging out at my house though. Oh. Josh and Ellie have been dating for about 3 and a half monthes. Go figure. It was quiet in the house now, with Josh and Ellie doing god knows what, Adam taking his grandma to the doctor, and Piers working. So it was just me, Lucas, and Patrick hanging out.
"Is there anything on at all?" Lucas asked as he flipped through the channels.
"Apparently not. This is boring. I'm bored. Let's go bug my brother." Patrick said.
"No because if we go over there, Matt might make me work." I said, grabbing the remote from Lucas and taking my turn in flipping through the channels.
The TMNT cartoon was on so I stopped on that.
"Are you serious?" Lucas asked.
"Hell yeah. TMNT rules." I said, my eyes glued to the TV.
"What time is it?" Patrick asked.
"Like 11 or something." Lucas said, now focused intently on the TV.
The show sucks you in.
The phone began to ring in the kitchen and when it became obvious that neither Lucas or I were going anywhere, Patrick sighed and went for the phone.
"Hey Devon. It's for you!" he called.
I pushed myself off the couch and headed to meet him in the kitchen. He handed me the phone and walked back into the living room.
"Hello?" I said, putting the phone to my ear.
"Hey. This is Donna. We've got another case in Indiana. Interested?"
"Heck yes! When is the group meeting?" I asked excitedly.
"At about 12:30 today. Is your brother going to want to go?"
"I don't know. I'll call him and ask him."
"Okay. Well I'll see you at 12:30."
"Okay. Talk to you then." I said as I hung up the phone.
I dialed Josh's number and to no surprise, Ellie answered.
"Hey girlie! What's up?!
"Nothing much. Is Josh around?"
"Yeah. Hang on.
I waited not-so-patiently for Josh to get on the phone, playing with my hair, flipping through a magazine, until he finally got on the phone.
"Took you long enough." I said with a huff.
"What do you want?" he asked, slightly annoyed.
"We got a case in Indiana and the meeting is at 12:30. You gonna go?" I asked, suddenly becoming serious.
"Yeah. Do you wanna go together?"
"Yeah. I'll be over there in an hour."
"Okay. Love ya, bye."
"Love ya, bye." I said as I hung up.
I walked back into the living room and sat down on the couch with Lucas in the middle. We continued watching cartoons until it got to be 12. As if on cue, my brother and Ellie burst through the door.
"Hey guys." Ellie said, sitting down in between me and Lucas.
"Hey Ell-" was all I got to say before Josh was pulling me to my feet.
We were out the door and I was shoved into the passenger seat of the Hummer bfore I had even realized what had happened.
"In a hurry much?" I asked, glaring over at him.
"I'm starving and I wanted to get something to eat before we got there." he said.
"Oh. Gas station microwave burrito's as usual?" I asked.
"Sounds delish." he said as he pulled into a gas station.
Fifteen minutes later, we were back on your way to TAPS headquarters. Josh pulled into the back parking lot and we went in through the side door.
We walked in and went into the "meeting room". I saw that Steve, Brian, Tango, and Donna were already there.
"Hey guys." I said as Josh and I took the seats set out for us.
We all made small talk until Jason and Grant showed up.
"I guess we're all here then." Grant said, smiling.
"Is Andy and Dustin not going then?" Josh asked.
"Nope. Just us." Jason said.
"Donna. You wanna take from here?" Grant asked.
"Okay. So this is in northern Indiana. A town called Huntington to be exact. It's a husband and wife and teenage son and they say there's an apparition and disembodied voices." Donna said, reading off her notepad.
"So when are we leaving?" Steve asked.
"We'll head out day after tomorrow." Jason replied.
Well. This should be interesting.
