Chapter 3

Two hours later the entire Krittikos family, Maggie, Joann, and the

lawyer

were on their way to the late Cyrus Krittikos's mansion.

After about 30 minutes of driving, Joann leaned forward in her seat and

asked, "Exactly what does this house look like and how come it's so far

out

in the country?"

"Cyrus liked his privacy, and if I told you what the house looked like

what

kind of surprise would it be when you saw it." the lawyer shot back,

smirking when the brunette sat back down with a small sigh.

Back in the other car Kathy and Maggie were talking about the lawyer

and why

he seemed so fixated on Joann.

"I'm telling you, when your father asked if it was all right for Joann

to

come along, that lawyer had a smile on his face that sent chills up my

spine." Maggie said, practically tailgating the other car.

"But why would that lawyer want to hurt Joann, I don't think they have

ever

even met before." Kathy argued trying to understand what Maggie was

getting

at.

"All I am saying is that we need to keep an eye on the suit and on

Joann to

make sure that he won't be able to do anything to her."

One hour later when both cars stopped at a two-story house, everyone

was

shocked when they saw that it was made entirely of glass and nothing

else.

"Your uncle must have had no modesty issues if he could live in a house

like

this, girl." Joann whispered when they walked up to the door.

Kathy nodded at her friend's statement and then nudged Joann when she

caught

sight of a tall lanky man in an orange suit standing by the front door

obviously having an argument with the lawyer.

"I think we found you a possible boyfriend." Kathy said laughing at

Joann's

expression when she pointed to the guy

"I admit he is cute, but I really don't think he's my type."

"Why not? He has a cute face from what I can tell from here, I saw him

looking at you a few minutes ago, and I think he likes you." Kathy

argued as

Joann took another look at the guy. She admitted to herself that the

guy

had his ups and he was looking at her from time to time.

"All right Miss Pushy, I'll talk to the man if that will make you

happy."

Kathy nodded and pushed her up the steps so that Joann was by the

technician. She stood beside her watching to see if the man made any

moves

that she needed to be aware of.

Arthur took out the weird looking key the lawyer had given him back at

the

apartment and proceeded to unlock the house, causing lights to go on,

allowing them to see every single room on the first floor and half of

the

second floor.

"This is really creepy you guys, just so you know where I stand in all

of

this." Maggie said backing up slightly and bumping into Joann in the

process, who conveniently fell onto the technician. He grabbed her

arms to

keep her from falling. (Very conveniently if you ask me...me crazy!)

"Are you ok ma'am?" he asked slightly worried as she tried to

straighten

herself.

"Yeah I'm ok, thanks for catching me..."

"Dennis, I'm a lighting technician from one of the neighboring towns,

they

were having complaints about this place draining all the electricity,

so

they sent me out here to check on it." Dennis said as the lawyer looked

back

at them to see what all the commotion was about. (Evil lawyer, better

yet

ghosts' chew toy.)

Joann nodded her head as she noticed a small shadow drift across

Dennis's

eyes and then they were looking at her in concern at her long silence.

"Hey, are you two lovebirds coming, or are you comfortable outside

instead?"

Kathy taunted from the safety of the 'living room'.

"You are so dead girlfriend!" Joann shouted as she raced off after her

friend, leaving the technician by himself.

Left alone, he finally gave in to the shudders that ran through his

body" I

really hope nothing happens to that girl, it would really be bad."

Dennis

muttered to himself as he followed.
