The Spirit's Obsession {Sequel to Entwined Fire} - #Wattys2016

Interviews, Paperwork and the talk.

I rubbed my neck and looked around the property almost screaming when a man put his hand on my shoulder. I jumped and spun around to see an older man looking at me amused.

"Whoa Ma'am!" He laughed softly holding his hands up.

"Jesus!" I let out a breathe and patted my chest. "Sorry.. I'm Maria and I am guessing you are.. Walter Kirby?"

"That's right. I own the Bell Witch Cave."

"Awesome.." I smiled and looked around seeing a small bench. "Mind if we sit down and have a little chat, get some paperwork out the way?"

"Not at all Ma'am after you." He smiled and held out his hand gesturing me to walk ahead.

I got speaking with Walter and got all the formalities out the way before Zak came around the small cabin and found me.

"Oh Hello. My names Zak. I'm with the Trav-"

"I know who you are boy. This young lady here has been telling me all about you and your show. Welcome to the Bell Witch Cave." He smiled.

"Is everything as we arranged?" Zak asked making Walter nod.

"Perfect. How about we get ourselves set up and get some interviews underway?" Zak suggested rubbing his hands eagerly.

"Absolutely. That's if this lovely young lady has finished with me." Walter replied making me smile.

"I am Walter. But if you have any concerns or questions at any time, please let us know." I replied.

"Yes Ma'am." He smiled and stood up looking at Zak.

"You'd be a fool to let her go." Walter spoke making Zak look at me instantly. I shook my head not knowing how he would even know we had been together.

"Fantastic sales woman." Walter added before walking away.

"I guess I will always be a fool." Zak muttered loud enough for me to hear.

After a quick whip around we were set up and ready to go, Zak found a spot to hold the interview that he was happy with and we begun.

"The Bell's was haunted in 1817 - 1820." Walter begun.

"That's almost 200 years ago." Zak said to him.

"Right." Walter nodded.

I left Zak to conduct the interview with the crew whilst I headed back to the car. My head was throbbing bad and the tablets hadn't alleviated any pain. I couldn't be ill. I had a job to do.

I pulled out some paperwork and went over it seeing Zak's next interview was going to be with Dan Willoughby who was a writer and historian. It wasn't long before he was pulling up beside me in a silver car.

I greeted him and got all the paperwork out the way.

I swear I saw more paperwork than daylight sometimes but each piece was essential and what they didn't understand I had to explain. So I needed to know the ins and outs of my job to do it correctly.

Billy came up and grabbed the drone taking Dan with him to conduct the next interview when Zak appeared from nowhere.

"Maria?"

I looked up at him and forced a smile "Yes?"

"We have another interview... Possible interview. The 3rd descendent of William Porter, he is available for an interview, do we have enough copies of the forms?" He asked.

"I- Uh.." I shuffled through the paperwork when Zak snatched it from me checking himself before tossing the folder at me and grabbing his in the front of the car.
