It's Hard to Make It Look Easy

Ch.22

After we ate lunch at the small town diner we went back to Waverly to discuss where the cameras would be set up at.

"Well I know for a fact that there's going to be an X camera in that room where Bri got sick and that Bri will be going in that room by herself" Zak said leaning his back against the building with his arms crossed over his chest

"Bri... Are you sure you want to do this?" Nick asked

"Don't worry, I'll be fine" I said smiling

"We can't forget about that Doppel Ganger" Aaron said worriedly

"Aaron" Zak sighed frustratedly

"A Doppel what?" I asked chuckling confused

"A Doppel Ganger... Supposably when you see yourself in spirit form you're suppose to die...Now Aaron did we see one?" Zak asked

"Well no-"

"Then there's nothing to worry about, it's just a myth" Zak said matter of factly

"Are we setting the Base up in the same room as last time?" Billy asked trying to get everyone back on track

"Yeah, that would be a good idea"

Then we started unloading the equipment and putting it in the room that was going to be our base. When everything was inside Billy started writing something down on a notepad

"Hey Zak, I know there's going to be a camera in the room Bri's going to, but where's the others going to be?"

"We'll put another X camera in the 4th floor hallway where there seeing shadow figures" Zak said and then took a drink of his bottled water and started up again "Another on in the surgical room on the 4th floor, people are still getting attacked there, the 3rd floor hallway where more shadow figures are seen, and in the morgue"

I was sitting in one of the folding chairs listening to where Zak wanted the cameras while I putting a memory card in my digital camera

"What devices are we using?" Nick asked getting his hand held camera ready for later

"Are typical" Zak said putting the monitor up on the table and Aaron was plugging the cables into the monitor

Billy then went over to the cameras and picked some up

"Do you need help?" I asked

"Sure, could you grab those tri-pods?" he asked moving his head over to where they were

I got up and grabbed a few and followed Billy out of the room. Billy set up one on the 3rd floor hallway and the 4th floor hallway, the morgue, and we were now going to the surgical room. While walking there I felt someone touch my hair so I stopped

"What's up Bri?" Billy asked and came to me

"Something touched my hair...Is there a spider web somewhere?"

Half of me wanted it to be a spider web and the other half didn't because I hated spiders. Billy clicked on the flashlight and examined for one

"I don't see anything"

he then clicked it back off and asked

"Is there someone here with us right now? We're not here to hurt you"

we waited a few seconds

"Do you need help?" I asked

then we heard this high pitch whistling noise come from the surgical room and I looked at Billy and he had some concern written on his face. We made it to the surgical room and Billy said

"Bri, you stay right there ok?"

"Ok, but why?"

"I'll tell you later, but you need to stay out of this room" he said and got one of the tri-pods I was holding and went in the room

Why can't I go in there? I was in there earlier I thought

I started to slowly walk to the room and Billy saw me

"Breanna I'm serious"

And I stopped. I knew when someone used my full first name that they meant what they said. Once he got the camera hooked up we went up to the room where I got sick. He entered the room and I stopped right infront of the doorway and Billy noticed that I wasn't behind him so he put the camera on the ground and came to me

"You feeling ok?" he asked taking the last tri-pod and leaned it up against the wall and then he took my hand

"Yeah, I'm fine...I just don't want to go in that room until later" I said sighing

He pulled me into a hug and mumbled in my hair

"I know Bri, you don't have to go in...You can go back to base while I set this last one up"

"I think I'll stay, I might get lost" I said chuckling

"I know, you've never had a good since of direction" he said chuckling too while he let me go "I'll hook it up real quick and then we'll head back down to base"

"Ok"

While he was setting the camera up Zak's voice came through the walkie-talkie

"Billy?...Bri?"

Billy tossed the walkie-talke to me so he could finish up

"Go for Bri"

"Me, Nick, and Aaron are heading to get the pizzas, do you guys have any requests on what you want to drink?"

I looked over at Billy and shook his head

"I brought my own drinks"

"Billy's ok, I'll take a coke"

"Anything else?"

"No"

"Alright, and tell Billy to move the camera to the right alittle"

I looked at Billy and he moved it to the right alittle bit and Zak came back over the device

"Right there, Thank you"

I handed him the walkie-talkie back and we headed back down to base. When we got to base we found the SUV gone and Billy sat down in one of the chairs infront of the monitors and turned towards me

"Bri come here, I want to talk about earlier"

I went to him and he pulled me down into his lap gently. I looked at the camera that was set up in the room that we were in

"It's not on yet" he said as if reading my mind

So I turned into him alittle for him to continue talking

"Well, you remeber when we heard that whistle coming from the surgical room on the 4th floor?"

"Yeah"

"Well previous investigators were here and when they heard that whistle in that room one of them was violently attacked by an unseen force...That's why I didn't want you to go in that room just in case something did happen"

"You could've just told me that when we got to the room"

"I know, but you would've freaked out and try to keep me out of that room" he said wrapping his arms around my waist

"Thanks for protecting me"

"You don't need to say thanks Bri, I'd still do anything for you"

He then leaned towards me and I leaned towards him and our lips met each others. While we were kissing we heard a door squeak but we didn't care

"Zak's about to come in, I think you two should seperate"

Me and Billy broke apart and I almost fell off of his lap but he caught me. Aaron started laughing and I got off of Billy's lap

"That's not funny Aaron, I could've hurt myself"

"I know, but the look on your face was priceless" he said and sat the pizzas down on the table

"What happend?" Zak asked coming into the room with Nick right behind him

"Bri got startled and almost fell out of her chair when I spoke" Aaron said covering up for me and Billy

Thank you Aaron I thought

About 15 minutes later after we all ate, we began the investigation. I was sitting watching the monitors with Billy until Zak told me to go to room 205 where the nurse hung herself. While I was waiting for them to give me the go ahead I got myself another piece of cheese pizza with jalepenos ontop and then went back to watching the monitors. Zak, Nick, and Aaron entered the morgue and I watched them argue over something

"I wonder what there arguing about?" I thought out loud

Bily leaned foward and turned the volume up

"I'm not getting in there"

"Why not Aaron, you're the only one that hasn't been in one" Zak said

"Look at me" he said gesturing to his body "I'm big, I'll get stuck and there's spiders in there"

Aaron you're thinner than you think I thought

"I'll get in it" Nick trying to get the investigation back on track

"Alright, well Nick's getting in there because Aaron's a wuss-"

"Am not"

Nick got in the thing where they stored dead bodies and Zak and Aaron left. Billy turned down the volume and we chuckled alittle

"They're like brothers" I said

"You can say that again" Billy said.

A few hours past and they all came back into the base room

"Ready Bri?" Zak asked

"I guess" I said getting up

me and Zak made it up to room 502

"Now Bri, if you get scared or feel that something's not right call for us and one of us will come and get you ok?" He said handing me a walkie-talkie

"Ok"

He then handed me his camera

"Now we've set up our REM pod, EVP recorder, and EMF detector in the middle of the room, so if any of those things go off that means there's someone there" Zak said looking into the camera I was now holding

"Good luck"

"Thanks" I said

he then left me in the room all by myself. I walked over to a chair and sat down in it and focused the camera on the equipment that was in the middle of the floor. I sighed and ran my hand through my hair

Calm down Bri, it's not as bad as the prison I thought

I then started asking questions

"Is there anyone in here with me?...Can you go over to those devices to let me know that you're here with me?"

I asked questions for 10 more minutes and nothing happend. I got up out of the chair and that's when a feeling of nausea hit me and I sat back down and the REM Pod started going off and then stopped

"Are you the nurse that's making women sick when they enter this room?..."

The REM Pod went nuts

"Can you say your name in that device with the red light?..."

then the REM Pod calmed down

"Are you trapped here?..."

The REM Pod completely stopped and I felt something warm and comforting, like a hand was on my right shoulder

"Are you touching me right now?..."

then it went away and the feeling change in the room. I grabbed the walkie-talkie

"Guys, something's going on, I don't know how to explain it but it feels like the room getting an...I guess angry feeling"

"We're on our way" Zak said

I stood up and headed to the door. When I reached the door I leaned up against the wall so I wouldn't have that feeling like someone's behind me.

Guys please hurry I thought getting more uneasy by the second

A few more seconds past and Zak, Nick, and Aaron were there

"You did good Bri, me and Nick will take it from here, Aaron will take you back to base" Zak said

"Alright"

I gave Zak his camera back and me and Aaron went back to base.

The lockdown was finally over and we packed everything up into the SUV. I got in the back and rested my head against the window while Billy got stuck driving, Zak was in the passenger seat, Aaron was to my right, and Nick was to Aaron's right.

"You ok Bri?" Zak asked looking in the rear view mirror at me

"Yeah, I'm just worn out" I said yawning

And before I knew it I was out.

/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/

I felt something warm and it smelled like cologne. I heard someone say something

"Nick will you open her door?"

Zak? I thought

As I snuggled into the warmth

"Thanks"

"No prob...see you later"

I heard the door shut gently and someone was carrying me somewhere. I heard him grunt alittle as the person lowered me down onto the cold sheets and then covered me up

"I'll see you when you get up Bri"

I felt him move some hair out of my face and kiss my forehead. I heard him start to walk out and I opened one eye to see who it was

It was Zak I thought

and after that I fell back asleep.
