I entered the buding with the guys. The energy was calm as Zak reviewed the X cameras in the bar.

"Alright Billy, Aaron why don't you guys investigate the attick while Kiley and I stay on this floor." Zak said directing the men upstairs. "Nick, Jay u guys go to nerve center and monitor everything." He held  his camera calmly. We stood in silence walking around the bar floor. I saw a man sitting on the counter and I sat next to him staring at him. The man turned to me and smiled. He was wearing a millitary uniform and drinking whiskey. You could see his dog tags hanging from his neck.

"Jack," I mumbled, looking back to his face. He placed an arm around my shoulder, as if hitting on me.

"Did you say my name?" Zak asked walking towards me. I shook my head. Still staring at the man who seemeed to look a little shocked now.

"No, there's a man..." I said to Zak quietly. Zak pulled out an EVP device and held it towards my face.

"What is your name?" He said loudly. The man looked to him his arm dropping from my shoulder. He gave me a pleading look and I nodded. He wanted to use my energy to speak.

"Jack," he said monotone and calm towards Zak.

"Are you sitting next to Kiley?" Zak asked loudly. Jack looked to me and simply nodded in Zaks direction. Zak turned off the device and played back the recording.

"Do you see that light?" Jack asked looking to me. I shook my head with a soft smile.

"It's for you..." I whispered. I watched the man nod understanding and mouth a thank you before dissapearing through a doorway.

"Woah!" Zak exclaimed at the recording. "Did you hear that!" He replayed it.

"Jack," the mans voice came through quietly.

"Did it just say my name?" Zak asked astonished. I shook my head with a silent laugh at his ego.

"No," I smiled at him and looked back at the bar before turning back to the tall man. "It said Jack."

"You heard it say that?" Zak asked quizzically. His head turning slightly qith the question.

"Yes," I answered. "I saw a man in a millitary uniform sitting at the bar so I sat down next to him." Zak only nodded, listening astonished and interested. "I saw his dog tags, they said Jack on them. He put his arm around me and smiled and I think he crossed over." I smiled looking to the doorway he dissapeared in. Zak nodded qith a huge smile and held his hand up for a high five. I laughed at his giddiness and slapped his hand. He pulled his bent arm towards him agressively qith his fist tight as one would when they said YES!
The energy was light in the bar until Billy and Aaron entered the room. They seemed to carry a nervous and distraut energy with them.
"What happened up there?" I asked anxiously. They gave me a weird look and I shrigged an apology. "Sorry, you just have this nervous distraut energy on you right now." I said simply. The boys pnce again looked astonished at my observation.
"That's how we felt up there..." Billy said with a knowing look on his face. Understaing my question now. "That must he what you're sensing." He concluded.

A long qhile late the lockdown ended and I was glad to leave as the energy became very dark and menacing and it drained all of my energy. Although that could just be because I was tired. Zak filmed the outro that morning. And I simply sat in my car staring out the qindow. I qas just so tired and drained that I was spacing out. Not thinking of anything.
Knock knock knock.
I jumped slightly turning to the sound. It was Zak. I chuckled tiredly and unlocked the doors and nodded my head to tell him to hop in so he could talk to me. Zak jumped into my passenger seat and closed the door.
"Are you ok?" He asked me concerned with my state. I nodded softly.
"Yea just a little drained," I answered simply.
"Did you want to meet up tomorrow, at the cafe?" He asked looking at me, still concerned with how exhausted I seemed. "I wanted to talk to you about something." I nodded with a tired smile in his direction.
"Sure," I told him grogily. He smiled softly in my direction.
"Are you gonna make it home ok?" I looked back to him meeting his concerned yet hard eyes. You could get lost in them. I mentally shook off those feelings as quickly as they arrived.
"I always do," I laughed slightly, looking to my steering wheel. Zak only nodded at me with a smile and exited the car. I smiled a little turning the car on and driving home slowly. There were few people out at this time so my speed went unnoticed.
When I arrived home I was greeted by my dogs, Freya and Nina. I said a quick hello and patted there sides before heading straight to my bed. As soon as my head hit the pillow I was out like a light.
