Midnight

Midnight - Just a Hot Mess

Season 1 Episode 4

I woke up and heard the shower running and my brother talking to Creek. I looked at my clock seeing she was on her lunch break. I got up and got dressed in jeans, a long sleeve top and my jean jacket and headed out to the RV. Manfred would meet me there once she left. I got on the RV and plopped down on the couch draping my arm over my eyes feeling the start of another headache coming on, knowing it was leftover from last night and using all my power in one go again. I felt her presence before I heard her talk.

"When can I use this power without it draining me?" I questioned, I heard her sigh,

"It just takes practice kiddo," he laughed "You also need to gather the right emotions from the right people" I snapped me head towards her like what do you mean, but that's when Manfred came on the RV.

He looked from me to grandma and then grabbed his pills and sat down at the table.

"I don't think moving here was such a good idea" he stated taking a few pills with a cup of coffee, at least I hope it was coffee.

"I thought you liked it here, I mean I keep seeing that waitress come by." Grandmas said feeling confused.

"The online stuff is fine, but I need to make some serious money, Hightower has been calling all night." He sat against the window and ran his hands through his already messed up hair.

"Can't we do some reading with the more high-end clients." I asked worried for my brother, I could feel the worry coming off him as well.

"None of them are going to drive 5 hours to do a reading in a crappy RV, they expect better, to feel like they are getting their money's worth, you know that" I shrugged, maybe.

"I have a feeling your luck is gonna change soon" grandma said with a smile looking at us.

"It better" he said popping a few more pills in.

"That not gonna help Manny your going to end up dead." I said slapping him

"It actually does you guys haven't heard the latest message from Hightower." He opened the voicemails on his phone. It played a creepy tune before Hightower spoke,

"You remember that tune, it'll be the last thing you here before i-" and Manfred stopped the message.

"He wants my heart, stopped on a platter." He said. "He wants his pound of flesh and he wont stop until one of us is dead."

"And you know he won't get close to you, I won't let him" I said to Manny feeling scared but confident I could protect us.

"Adelynn you are going to stay out of this." He growled.

"Manny you have protected me all my life, I have enough power now I can protect you."

"I won't let you, you will stay out of this" Manfred said. I went to go say something else but there was a knocking on the door. Me and Manfred looked at each other very confused and he went to go open the door.

"you guys the psychics?" this woman asked. I could feel worry and anger coming off her.

"Depends who's asking" Manfred said confused and curious.

"The guy at the pawn shop said you and your sister are the real deal, I need to find my brother, not sure I believe in this," she paused looking around, "But I gotta try something."

"Its not easy finding a missing person" I said, knowing how Manny was feeling about this.

"Find him ill pay you five grand" she said.

"Its also our specialty, step right in" he moved aside, and she got on the RV. I looked at grandma and she had the goofy grin on her face, ohh I wish I could slap it right off. She vanished as this woman sat where she just was.
