Chapter Four

DAVID's Point of View

Disclaimer: I own nothing but the storyline.

I looked up at the two men standing at the door dressed in slightly crumpled suits and matching ties while flashing a pair of FBI badges.

During the majority of my life if the FBI had turned up at my door I would have been absolutely stocked. I would have even asked them about Area 52! (Also known as Area 51.) However, after having Suze move in with us I've learnt that the FBI and other law enforcement officials don't really bode well with this family. In fact, whenever I see one now it usually means Suze has had some life-threatening shit go down.

In my worry for Suze I leave them at the door and shout for my mum. If something happened to Suze she'd need to be the first to know. I sometimes feel sorry for my mum when it comes to Suze...but then again, it's not like Suze chose to be able to see ghosts.

"David, what is it, honey?"

"Men at the door for you," I tell her, gnawing at my bottom lip. Oh, Suze, what have you done now?

Mum walks calmly to the door but, once finding out who it is, also begins to worry about Suze. However, it might have not been the best idea to bring up those incidents...or her temper.

"No, Mrs Ackerman, but she might be useful to our investigation. We're looking into the body found in your backyard, believed to be a Mr Hector De Silva," The taller one with long hair replies awkwardly while looking meaningfully to his partner.

Mum looks relieved, but I begin to panic a bit more. What on earth could they want to do with Jesse? I might not know how he is actually alive (it was obvious after a while that Suze's new boyfriend was the same guy and I felt stupid for not realising it sooner) but I do know that any unwanted attention could be disastrous for both him and Suze. How could they possibly explain him miraculously coming back to life? What if they want to see his body and there is no longer a body to see? Well there shouldn't be, but there might be..ugh! It's so confusing. I don't know how the 'raising people from the dead' thing works. I can understand practically anything, I even taught myself to play the piano, but this? Nothing evolving Suze will ever make full sense to me.

"Oh, that was such a sad day," Mum says sadly, taking me out of my head and back into the real world. "That poor man, Suzie was so sad when dug him up. But I don't know what the FBI would be interested in, regarding the case, I mean."

Yeah, I'd like to know the answer to that too.

"We were just wondering if we could make any other connections to other unsolved cases and bodies found around the area in the past. Fill in the blanks, if we could, and give answers to any family still remaining," the tall agents continues as his partner remains silent and looks around the room, his eyes lingering humorously at the framed bullet hole my dad couldn't be bothered filling it.

"Of course, what can I help with?" Mum enquires.

Please don't say too much, I think desperately to her.

"It will probably sound a bit weird Mrs Ackerman, but we were wondering if you had any flickering lights? Scratches on the walls, maybe? Cold spots? Anything unusual happen after the body was discovered?"

Wait, What?

"Cold spots? Ha! Maybe it's Dave's ghost!" Brad interrupts, barrelling into the room like the clumsy oaf he is. And people have to ask who my favourite sibling is...

He also alerted the agents to my presents who had obviously assumed I'd returned to some other part of the house after getting mum. I had been trying to be discreet.

And he brought up Jesse. Why? Ugh.

"Dave's ghost?" the short one asked, speaking up.

I glare at my brother for his idiocy and try to dig myself out of the whole he just created with his big mouth. "It made sense at the time Bradley."

He laughs and is about to say something else but I quickly interrupt, "Bugs" being all I need to say.

The two detectives look at each other. "Bugs?" they asked together in confusion.

I shake my head in mock-sadness as if it is a game. "Gets him every time, I wished I believed Suze earlier when she said that worked." And I did. It would of made life a lot easier.

"David...what's going on?" mum asked, looking at me suspiciously. Crap. I forgot mum didn't know about the 'bugs in the orange juice' incident. After all, we all decided it was best not to mention it considering how she was with creepy crawlies.

"Nothing mum, honest!" I say as I put on my best 'puppy-dog' face.

She still looked sceptical but let it go.

"I haven't heard anything, but the lights have flicked a few times. Do you think something may be hidden in the walls...the FBI can't believe in ghosts."

Humph! I'd like that answered to. If the FBI could hide the presence of aliens for civilians for years, you'd think they'd be more subtle when asking about paranormal activity. I might have to look at their badges again.

Playing dress up seems like something Suze would do too, now that I think about it.

"Yes, they might of hidden things in the walls that could be connected to the body or the killers...do you mind if we look around, perhaps talk to your kids about the place. See if they've noticed or found anything?"

Huh. They certainly won't get any answers from me, and Brad's far too stupid to provide anything useful (hopefully) and Jake just sleeps through everything.

"Umm...sure. My daughter's not home at the moment, but I'm sure she'll happily talk to you once she gets home."

Ha! If anything Suze'll raise all Hell. The only thing they'll get out of her is a large headache.

I smile at the thought as they come towards me, obviously being their first target. Time to put my acting skills to good use...whatever little there is of them, anyway.

AN: I plan to do another David POV chapter, but mostly continue the story in 3rd person (around the Winchester's) and in Suze's POV. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated! Thanks for reading!
