Authors Note: Hello again readers! Finally an update!

Thank you, thank you, thank you for your patience and understanding. You are the best readers a writer could ask for.

I took a little longer than I planned too with this update, so that I could get out more than 2-3 Chapters. I'm hoping it won't take me as long to update next time, but no guarantees.

Anyway, I'll shut up so you can read! lol

Chapter 113: Cowboy Time

Two days later...

After another two days off, the boys and I took to the road again for our next lockdown in Tombstone, Arizona – which was an eight hour drive from Vegas.

Needless to say, the eight hour drive was pretty brutal. Between the long stretches of nothing but desert landscape to see, Aaron acting like his crazy self when he wasn't sleeping, Aaron and Zak both Snapchatting their silliness, I thought I was going to lose my mind. Although, I had to admit, it was entertaining at times, and I took part in the silliness too.

For some part of the trip, I spent time looking over my social media accounts on my phone – mainly Twitter – to see how the feedback was about the premiere of the new "Ghost Adventures" season, and obviously my first debut on the show.

To my relief, a good majority of the feedback was positive, and people were pleased that I had been added to the show. I used the free time to respond to as many fans as I could, thanking them for their support, and answering a wide range of questions from "what's your favourite colour?" to "what's it like working with the guys?" It was a little overwhelming when some of the fans reacted to me replying to them, as if Zak himself had replied to them, but it was also flattering.

But with positive feedback, there's always a hefty dose of negative feedback as well, which stemmed mainly from female fans. Some of them were critical of certain things about me: things I did, or how I looked, but the main comment I seemed to receive was a variety of ways of the fans saying "Zak is mine!" It was pretty easy to ignore most of the negative feedback, although a few tweets here and there bothered me a bit. Whenever I started to feel bothered by a comment, I tried to keep in mind what Zak and Cheryl had told me over the past few days – these girls were probably just jealous.

After I had killed time on my phone, I sat looking out my window, watching the landscape fly by. However, that didn't last long, because I suddenly had one of my "episodes" of psychic artistry.

When I had pulled out my sketch book and began sketching like crazy, I had ended up waking Aaron from his sleep, and then he let out of yelp of shock before he clued in to what was going on. I hadn't know at the time, but Aaron's sudden yelp had caused Billy to nearly go off the road. Billy and Zak had immediately started giving Aaron shit, until Aaron spoke over the both of them to tell them about me. Zak had immediately demanded that Billy pull over to the side of the road.

Thankfully, we had been on a fairly deserted highway out in the desert, and so they didn't have to worry about people stopping to see what was going on. Zak had gotten out of the SUV and opened the back door on my side, so he was right there with me the whole time. He was the first person I saw when I snapped out of my latest episode.

After taking a few minutes to gather my composure and my surroundings, we all looked at the drawings together, Billy leaning back to look from the front seat.

The first drawing had actually made us laugh. It was a drawing of Aaron, dressed in full on cowboy gear, and clearly locked behind bars. It looked like he was in jail. Aaron had sarcastically muttered a comment something along the lines of "oh great, sent off on my own again, and locked in, I'm guessing", which caused all of us to laugh.
