It's not every day that the Supernatural Investigation Agency SIA evaluates three teenagers whether they are fit for duty. But defiant Sally Storm, genius Ryan Montgomery and special kid Moe Doe are not everyday kids. They handled monsters before, s...
I usually put some thought into the naming of my stories's chapters. But, this chapter title I am unable to explain after three months of corrections and publication preparation. No idea who those old friends are supposed to be. But what I know is: "Teen Monster Hunters" is out, the first full-length adventure of our beast hunters!
„Teen Monster Hunters", now online available in print and as ebook.

It was a clear case of now-you-see-it-then-you-don't. Sally put her hand over her mouth so as not to scream and with her other hand pulled down Moe's arm to make his discovery less obvious.
Ryan hadn't seen it yet and looked at Sally and Moe again.
"Ryan, turn around and try the kitchen door. Now!" Sally commanded, turning her face away too. Whatever was underneath the milk jug, holding it up, was invisible, which wasn't a good thing. It was intelligent enough to not draw attention to it in a crisis situation.
"What is it, guys? Saw a ghost?" Ryan inquired.
"Yup, but don't look. Something is going on, and it is not good. Come on, stop looking around, try the door. It's important to try the door."
Ryan knew Sally's command and stern voice and did what she asked him to do. He rattled it and inspected the card reader. "No luck here, door is locked."
"But it came in here. Maybe there is a keycard somewhere?"
"It? What do you mean?"
"Your nose did not betray you, Ryan. We are not alone. There is something in here, and it is invisible. And we interrupted its lunch."
"Shall we go backto the other room, and close the shutter again?"
The discovery of an invisible being in the room would have been shocking to a normal person. But the kids' experiences a few weeks earlier had already been shockingly enough, so the new discovery simply fell into the same pattern. And after all, they were the guests in a super-secret government facility that dealt with the supernatural. Super-super.
Sally thought hard. Could this actually be a test for us? To catch an invisible beast, as a sort of real-life scenario? In theory, yes. Closed room, some kitchen-style weapons, some ingredients for Ryan's inventions. In practice, doubtful. There was no camera in the corners for Mr. Jumper or Agent Black to observe the test. Would they endanger us by making us confront a dangerous beast? An invisible beast? And then, how do we explain the alarm and the running people. No, this had the making of a beast break-out, which managed to get out of its cage or habitat, looking for food and room to escape or hide.
"Whoa, " Ryan said, now seeing it, too. "there is a jug..."
"Shut up, Montgomery, and listen to me guys," Sally interrupted him and she started doing things in the kitchen, by opening a drawer. Strange devices, probably for whipping up a sauce or cream. Just to do something, she picked two of them up. "Moe, open that cupboard, look for plates. Slowly, we need time! And no one goes over where all the food items are lying around. We don't want to spook our invisible friend."
