Ch 19

The next day Kerrie stood outside Coreen's apartment building at 11. Her hair was in a ponytail and she was dressed in jeans and a sweater with a vest. Mike pulled up and Kerrie got into the car.

'Morning.'

'Good morning, thanks for helping me on your day off.'

'Not a problem, I didn't have any plans. What are you doing tonight when Coreen goes to the show?'

'Just hanging out at her apartment.'

'Would you like to go out to dinner?' Kerrie smiled.

'Sure, that would be nice.' Mike smiled as he pulled into his sister's driveway. 'Is your sister older or younger?'

'Younger, her name's Kathy.' Mike lead the way to the front door and rang the bell. A few moments later a brown haired woman answered the door.

'Come on in.' She opened the door wider and Mike walked into the living room with Kerrie behind him.

'Kathy, this is Kerrie.'

'Nice to meet you.' Kathy said extending her hand. Kerrie smiled and Kathy motioned for them to sit.

'I'll tell you a bit about the apartment and they I'll show you it. The apartment is in the building next door, the first floor. The apartment is furnished with a washer and dryer in the basement. An older couple live on the second floor.' Kathy stood up and lead them next door. 'The two girls living here are moving out in the beginning of May. When are you planning on moving?'

'End of May, I'm graduating mid-May so the Monday after I'd leave to drive here.'

'Where are you from originally?'

'Boston, lived there my whole life.'

'Are you a Bruins fan?'

'I like hockey but not a Bruins fan. I'm more of a Red Sox girl.' Kathy nodded as she opened the apartment door. 'Are pets ok?'

'As long as they don't chew on the fixtures. This is the living room, it opens up to the kitchen area.' Kerrie looked around the apartment. It was a decent size, close to the size of her current apartment in Boston. 'There are two bedrooms and a bathroom in the back.' Kerrie looked into the large bathroom and then the bedrooms.

'This is really nice.'

'If your interested in renting we can go over information tomorrow.'

'That would be great, this is really nice.'

'Ok, why don't we meet at the coffee house on Carlton Street at 1?'

'That works for me.'

'It was nice meeting you.'

'Thanks, you too.'

'See you tomorrow.'

'Bye, thanks again.' Kerrie and Mike walked outside and Kathy went back to her house. 'Thanks for helping me today.' Kerrie said as they walked to Mike's car.

'Not a problem. Want to stop for coffee?'

'Sure.' Mike drove them to a coffee shop and they sat down to talk for a bit.

'You have a job lined up when you move up here right?'

'Yes, there is a new age store and I'm going to be teaching classes there a few days a week. I might end up doing readings and such but I'll see how it goes.'

'How did you start?' Kerrie smirked as she looked at her drink.

'Since I was a kid spirits always found their way to me. When I was in middle school my best friend started to play around with witchcraft and I followed. I ended up getting really into it and she backed up. How long have you been on the force?' The questions continued back and forth for nearly an hour. After finishing their drinks Mike drove Kerrie back to Coreen's apartment.

'Thanks again for today.'

'I'll pick you up at 7.'

'Ok, see you then.'
