Who's In?

Hunter's POV

"One minute I was sitting on the rock, the next minute I was being thrown off and a voice said 'help Dean'." I was breathing really heavy, trying to catch a breath and figure out what just happened.

"Are you ok now?" Sam asked rubbing my back.

Tyler and Natalia looked at each other and I instantly knew something was up.

"Yeah, just startled, I wasn't expecting to be projectile off a rock."

"We need to play, right now." Tyler was sounding stressed but making no sense. "C'mon, no time to explain."

"Play what?" I asked.

"The ouija board, we need to see if we can contact Ethan." Tyler further explained.

"Well let's go!" Jimmy pulled Sam's hand. We all walked over to where we left the board.

"We all good?" Matt asked. "Who's in?"

Everyone nodded as we placed our hands on the pointer.

"We are here to make contact with Ethan, Ethan you were just with us, are you there?" Matt asked the board.

This time the pointer moved to the 'YES' with such force I honestly thought someone was playing silly buggers.

"Holy shit." Jimmy whispered.

"Ethan, Dean needs your help. Do you know where the money is?"

The pointer moved to the 'YES' again with strong force. Then it continued. BEGGARS-BANQUET ......

"What does that mean?" Hunter asked.

Again the pointer began to move spell out SOME-GIRLS ....

"These are Rolling Stones albums." Tyler stated.

Then the pointer moved to 'YES'.

"So the money in inside the album covers?" Tyler asked the board.

The pointer moved back to 'YES'

"Will any harm come to Tyler or Dean?" Natalia asked.

The pointer moved to 'NO' then it continued.
I-WILL-PROTECT

"Is there enough money to cover the debt?"

The pointer moved to 'NO' then continued I-ONLY-OWED-$3.6K-JUST-PAY-THAT

"Will they accept it without harm?" Tyler looked worried.

The pointer moved to 'YES' then continued. TELL-THEM-I'M-KEEPING-AIMEE-SAFE

We had no idea what that meant, but clearly whoever was threatening Dean would know.

The pointer moved to 'GOODBYE'.

We all let go of the pointer.

"F@ck that was heavy." Jimmy put both his hands on top of his head. "The deal is, what happens here tonight stays here, but surely Dean needs to know what the hell just happened right? This is an actual matter of life and death?"

"Of course." Matt replied. "Of course."

I heard my phone buzz and looked down, there was a text from Dean:

Dean: So excited to see you in a few hours.

"Guys, Dean's awake. Should we tell him what just went down?" I asked particularly wanting to know Tyler's opinion.

"Yeah, defo. Call him and tell him what happened to you and that we had a ouija board and then put him on speaker phone so we can explain where the money is and the message. I've just written it down in my notes so we don't forget." Tyler was onto this, he knew how important it would be to Dean.

I got up and made the call. He answered on the first ring.

"Hey Babe, you home now?" He asked.

"No. I need to tell you something but I want you to listen to the whole story first and please don't interrupt."

"Are you ok? Did Jimmy try anything?" Dean asked and I had to giggle.

"No. It's nothing like that." I went on to explain how I was pushed off the rock and how we played with the ouija board and then I said we were going to tell him some messages from Ethan. I could hear him becoming a little emotional and I could feel his distress.

He quietly listened to me ramble, I have no idea if he believed me but it was time to take it to the next level. I explained he was about to go on speaker.

"Cool Baby, thank you." Dean seemed ok.

"Okay Dean, its Tyler. Apparently Ethan only owed $3.6k and you need to find his old record collection. Pull out the Rolling Stones albums and you'll find the money in Beggars Banquet and Some Girls. Now before you do anything else, Ethan said they won't hurt us, but you need to let them know that Ethan gave them a personal message. You have to tell them that he's keeping Aimee safe from any harm. I have that message in notes, but it's really important we get that right so we get out safe and out of paying off the rest of the debt."

"Ok. The collections in the garage, I hope the money's still ok. I won't sleep now, so I'm going go find it, I'll call back when I do." Dean was sounding remarkably calm. "Also, thanks guys."

"Dean, do you want me to come over and help?" Tyler asked.

"No mate, all good, my parents are fast asleep. Stay there and enjoy yourselves, oh and Hunter, can't wait till our date."

That put a massive smile on my face as we hung up the phone.
