That evening, a pair of guests stopped by the Lambert household. They were here to help solve their haunting problem. Renai and Josh were the ones to answer the door while Jessie stayed seated in the living room.
"I'm Specs. This is Tucker"
"I'm Renai" She shook Specs' hand.
"Hi" Specs then looked at Josh. "You must be Josh. That wasn't psychic. Elise already told me your name"
"Where is Elise?" Renai asked
"She sent us over to do some preliminary tests"
"Helps weed out the nutjobs" Tucker said. Specs, Renai and Josh just looked at Tucker while he ate his hot pocket.
"Let's go into the living room. Jessie is waiting for us" Renai said. Renai and Josh led Specs and Tucker into the living room where Jessie patiently waited for them. "Jessie, they're here" Jessie looked towards them and flashed them a smile. When Specs laid his eyes on her, he couldn't peel them away.
"It's nice to meet both of you. Let me guess. You're Tucker" Jessie said, pointing towards him. He acknowledged her by nodding. Jessie moved her attention to Specs. "And you're Specs" She held out her hand for him to shake, which he gladly did.
"And you're pretty" Specs blurted out. Jessie raised her eyebrows and let out a giggle. "I mean, you're Jessie"
"Yes, I am. I'd also like my hand back please" Specs had been holding onto her hand for longer than he meant to. He let her hand go, even though he didn't really want to.
"I-I'm sorry. You've got soft hands by the way"
"Thanks" Jessie felt a blush creep up on her cheeks.

Specs stood near the window, looking around the room though his attention most of the time was on Jessie, who was standing in between Josh and Renai. Tucker opened up a case and took out an electronic device.
"What is that?" Renai asked
"Tri-field meter. It measures DC fields and the natural electromagnetic environment" Tucker explained.
"Sometimes old wiring can leak into the atmosphere. It can cause hallucinations, changes in energy" Specs explained.
"Not really, but whatever"
"The tech stuff's not relevant to you anyway"
"It's very relevant, actually" Tucker began moving the device around the room. Meanwhile, Specs found something in an open box that peaked his interest (other than Jessie).
"Starfleet series one" Specs said, taking the doll out of the box. "It's hard to find. Should've kept it in it's box" Jessie let out an amused giggle, which made Josh give her a look. Specs looked in her direction again and smiled. She had an adorable laugh, and he was already thinking of ways to make her giggle so he could hear it again.

Everyone moved to Josh and Renai's bedroom. Tucker now had a device that looked like a View Master toy. He put a wheel with different colored filters in it.
"This device measures the changes in UV light. I make all this equipment myself you know" Tucker explained.
"That's impressive" Renai said.
"Thanks. It's not that hard if you know what you're doing"
"Yeah, that ones basically a modified toy" Specs said. He made Jessie giggle again. This made everyone look at her.
"I might need some time alone to concentrate" Tucker said. The four of them left the room.

Jessie and Specs sat together. He told her all about the kind of work that he and Tucker do together and Jessie listened intently. Maybe this was the inspiration she needed for her novel.
"I think you two have the coolest job in the world. I'm just a writer who can't even figure out what direction her novel is going" Jessie said
"What kind of novel?" Specs asked.
"It's a horror novel about a family living in a haunted house, but I can't find the inspiration for it"
"If you want, I could share some stories with you. Maybe that would help"
"I'd love that. Thanks Specs" Jessie smiled and placed her hand on his knee. Specs glanced down at her hand, and then back to her beautiful face. Clearly she was as interested in him as he was in her because she giggled at things he said twice, and her hand was on his knee and it wasn't coming off any time soon.
"My pleasure. Maybe we could make it a da---" He was interrupted when Tucker entered the room.
