The Barnabas House

Chapter Seven

Lastnight was terrible. I had got zero sleep, due to the constant yelling down the hall, and the fact that nobody will give me any answers. It's about 7:30 a.m. Just as I started to fall asleep Agent Waterson burst through the door.

"Good morning Ms. Green. Agent Smith wants to see you ASAP. I suggest you make it soon. He's not very patient."

"Well Agent Waterson, I don't appreciate you just barging in! You could've at least knocked!"

"Ms. Green you must understand that we have a job to do and we don't have time to waste. Now, I suggest u get dressed and go meet with Agent Smith!"

"I understand just fine Agent Waterson, but your barging in unwelcome is an invasion of privacy! I suggest you leave! Now!"

"Ms. Green...."

"Out!!"

He leaves in a hurry. I get dressed and storm out of the room. Once I find agent Smith's offic, I don't bother knocking I just barge right inwith the look of frustration and business written all over my face.

"Ok I'm here! What is so important that can't wait a little while longer?"

"Ms. Green..."

"No, I'm done listening until I get the answers I came here to get!"

"Ms. Green, I have called you here to discuss your home. Now, if you would've let me finish before jumping in like you did, then you would have known that. Take a seat."

"It's about time I get some answers."

"Now, have you heard any strange noises while living there?"

"Yes, but what does that have to do with anything?"

"What kind of noises did you hear?"

"Just faint screams and cries, occasional door slamming."

"Did you ever look around to find where they might be coming from?"

"No, I tend to ignore them and carry on with what I'm doing."

"Very well. I will send a team out there today to search the entire house."

"Is that really necessary? Nobody else is there."

"We cannot be too certain. You said yourself that you've heard things out of the ordinary."

"Noises are noises."

"Ms. Green, I suggest you listen and trust me. No one just hears these noises out of nowhere. Now, if you will excuse me I have work to do."

"Look......."

"Did you not hear a word I just said? You are dismissed! Now leave!"

I walk straight out that door with frustration. My stomach growls, but I can't even begin to think about food right now.

Smith is wasting his time. There's nothing there to be found. Everyone hears noises in their houses. It's not like anyone is going to pop out and kill me.
