It's Hard to Make It Look Easy

I walked over to the video editing desk and sat down in the chair and I could feel a pair of eyes staring at me so I turned around

"What?" I groaned looking at Billy

"I missed you Bri"

"Really? Well if you missed me, why didn't you call me or come see me?"

"I was busy, you could have called me Bri, it's not a one way street"

"I tried calling you, but the operator kept cutting in saying that the number wasn't in service, so
how do you expect me to call you if I didn't have your new number?"

Just then my phone started ringing

Thank you I thought

I answered turning around
"Hello Travis"
"So did you get the job?"
"Actually, yes I did"
"Are you serious, that fast?"
"Yeah, they needed someone ASAP and they loved me so they hired me"
"So what do you get to do?"
"I get to travel around the US and take pictures for them and edit what they have on film"
"That's so great Bri, hey I've got to go Kelly wants me to go shopping with her"
"Alright have fun" I said laughing and hung up.

I turned back around only to find Billy standing infront of me

"Yes?" I asked looking up at him

"Who was that?"

"Why does it matter, we're not together anymore, but if you must know that was my brother calling
to check on me"

I then got up and started walking to the door, but Billy grabbed my hand and spun me around

"What happend to the old Bri?"

"I'm still me" I said looking away from him

"If you're still the old Bri, then why are you giving me the cold shoulder?" he asked putting his other
hand on my cheek so I looked at him

"Because..." I started with tears filling my eyes

then the door opened and Billy let me go and Zak, Nick and Aaron walked in

"Well, Bri our supervisor is glad we picked you, you were his favorite" Nick said

"Really?" I asked a bit confused

"Yeah, he said there was something about you that he liked" Aaron said

"Bri we were thinking, how would you like to go to lunch with us, so all of us can get to know eachother?" Zak asked

"I guess I could go with you guys, but where are we going?"

"Pizza" Aaron said excitedly

"Chinese" Nick said excitedly

then Nick and Aaron just stared at eachother and Zak shook his head in annoyance

"Guys, don't start arguing, let Bri decide" Zak said

"How about we flip a coin, heads for pizza and tails for chinese" I said

Billy pulled out a quarter and flipped it into the air

"Please say heads, please say heads" Aaron said

the quarter fell to the ground and spun around a few times and landed

"What is it?" Zak asked

"It's heads" Billy said

"YES! I won" Aaron said doing a little victory dance

I couldn't help but laugh at Aaron

I can tell he's the goofball of the group I thought

"Alright lets get going" Zak said

We left the HQ and went to CiCi's Pizza. When we got there we paid and we got a table and our food. When I got my food I sat down at the table and then the boys came with their food to sit down. Zak and Nick were across from me, Aaron was on my left side and Billy was on my right side.

"So Bri, where are you from?" Aaron asked taking a bite of his triple meat pizza

"I'm a Newport Beach Cali girl, I grew up there, what about you guys?" I said

"I'm from Portland, Oregon" Aaron said

"I'm origanally from San Jose, California, but my family move to New Hamshire, and now me and
my wife live here in Vegas" Nick said

"I'm from Washington D.C, then moved to Detriot, and now I'm here in Vegas" Zak said

"Cool"

"Do you still have Bella?" Billy asked

"Yes, she's so cute"

"Who's Bella?" Nick asked looking at me and Billy suspiciously

"She's my dog, what do you think Bella was?"

I looked at Nick then it dawned on me

"Wait, you think Bella was my child?"

"Well, yeah, sorry" he said

"It's alright, when I mention Bella everybody thinks she's a child because I refer to her as my baby"

Just then someone's phone was going off
"Hi sweetie what's going on?" Billy asked into the phone and I looked at him

That's probably why he changed his number I thought

He then got up and mouthed 'I'll be right back' and went outside.

"Bri, are you ok?" Aaron said putting a hand on my shoulder

"Yeah, I'm fine" I said bringing my attention back to the guys

"Do you have any family here?" Zak asked

"Yeah, my brother lives here, and I'm staying at his place until I find somewhere to live"

"What's you're brothers name?" Nick asked

"His names Travis, he's works for the local fire department here"

"That's cool" Aaron said

"I've got a question"

"What is it Bri?" Zak asked

"Well, why do you guys travel around the US?"

"We didn't tell you that part did we, well we hunt ghosts" Zak said

"You hunt ghosts?"

"Yeah, we go to places that are supposibly haunted and we show the world that ghosts exist" Nick
said

"Ok, I've got another question, who pays for the traveling?"

"Travel Channel pays for our hotel, car rentals, and airfair" Aaron said

"And they're paying for you too" Zak said.

Just then Billy came back in and sat down

"Sorry about that" Billy said

"So, who was that?" I asked mocking Billy from earlier

"That was my friend Pam"

I rolled my eyes

"Anyway, so what place are you guys going to investigate?"

"We're going to be investigating the Stanley Hotel" Zak said

"The Stanley Hotel? You mean the hotel that Stephen King used for The Shining?"

"That's the one" Nick said

"And Dumb and Dumber was filmed there too" Aaron said

"I've always wanted to go there, it's so beautiful"

we talked alittle bit more and then headed out

"We'll see you tomorrow Bri" Aaron said

"Alright" I said smiling and waving to the guys.

We then drove off in different directions. About 30 minutes later I arrived at my brothers house and went inside. I was greeted by Bella, so I let her outside and went to the kitchen to make dinner for everybody. Once dinner was done Travis and Kelly came back

"Bri, you didn't have to cook dinner" Kelly said

"It's alright, I had a feeling you guys would've gotten here late so I cooked dinner for all of us"

"Thank you Bri" Kelly said

"Not a problem"

We then made our plates and sat down at the table

"So how did your interview go?" Kelly asked

"I got the job right on the spot"

"That's wonderful, so where are you going for the investigation?" Kelly said excitedly

"How do you know I'm going to be traveling?"

"Because you work for the Ghost Adventures Crew, they have their own show on tv" Kelly said

"They didn't tell me that they had a show on tv, I just thought they went to investigations and do video editing and that was it"

"Well, I'm happy that you're working with them"

"Thanks, so how was your day you two?"

"Fine, I got a surprise of my life today" Travis said

"What?"

"Well Bri, you're going to be an auntie" he said smiling

No way I thought

Are you saying what I think you're saying?" I asked lokng at them both

"Yep" he said

"Condradulations guys, how far along are you?"

"I'm about a month along" Kelly said with a smile

"That's wonderful" I said with a smile

we sat there and talked alittle more and then we cleaned up and went to bed.

This day has been very eventful. I get hired right on the spot and I get to go to the Stanley Hotel, then I find out that I'm going to be an auntie. What else is going to happen? I thought

I then fell alseep.

The next day was pretty uneventful, and before I knew it, it was time to travel to my first investigation, the Stanley Hotel.
