Sin City Adventures (A Zak Bagans FanFic)

Chapter 12: Goatman's Bridge

There wasn't anything that could prepare me for what could possibly happen at this investigation tonight. Like most nights I slept like shit last night. I get out of bed to the sound of Zak banging on my hotel room door. Quickly throwing on another pair of yoga pants and a sports bra I answer the door. "Oh, uh, I just wanted to see if you wanted to have breakfast with us." I can tell he's a little nervous as I'm only wearing my yoga pants and sports bra. It's hard to contain my laughter seeing him trying not to look down.

"I was just on my way to the gym. I'm surprised you're up though."

"Oh, that's nice," Zak swallows hard. "I wasn't sleeping well."

"I can take a day off. I'll go with y'all." He smiles and heads in the direction of Aaron's room without saying a word. I chuckle and close the door changing into my skinny jeans and plain black V-neck tee with my feather necklace and black boots. I quickly finish my makeup before heading to Aaron's room myself. Barely getting one knock on the door the guys rush outside almost running right into me. "Jeez, watch it y'all!"

"You ready, Shawn?" Aaron asks in excitement basically jumping up and down like a little kid.

"Yeah! Where are we going?" I gather my energy and meet his excitement as I jump up and down with him. I can hear the rest of the crew start laughing at us and I stop.

"I don't know! But I'm really hungry so I'm excited to eat!" Aaron continues.

"You're such a goober," I play punch him in the arm.

Breakfast was delish. We decided on IHOP again since it was close. We all enjoyed our food and talked about random things. It was nice being able to get my mind of Goatman's Bridge for a little while, but now it was time to get back to work. Everything in me wanted to beg Zak not to let me do this investigation tonight. I just had a really bad feeling about the lockdown, but I couldn't quite explain why.

By the time it started to get dark we had already made our way to the hell hole and started setting up x-cameras in some of the more active places according to Christy yesterday. I placed one by the entrance while Jay went closer to the bridge and set one up so we had eyes on the bridge the entire time. After I set up my camera I join Jay at the bridge. "Are you ready for tonight?"

"I guess so, why?" He questions so nonchalantly. I keep silent not being able to gather my thoughts. Staring intently in front of me at the bridge, Jay puts his hand on my shoulder and brings me back. "You sure you're okay?"

"I really don't know, Jay. I just don't feel right and I have a really bad feeling about this lockdown."

"Have you told Zak?"

"I can't. What am I supposed to say?"

"Exactly what you just told me."

"But I can't explain it. I know he'll ask questions and I have no answers for him."

"So be it. Just be careful," he shows a little smile.

"Yeah, you too."

It was now about 8:00 PM and we finally finished setting up our cameras. It was time and I was definitely not ready. I just wanted to run away. "You ready?" I hear a voice from behind me as I stare into the forested entrance. I look to my right side and Zak is there with my camera. I take it from him and sigh. "Just stick with me and you'll be okay," he smiles and takes his first step into the Goatman's forest without hesitation. His confidence is quite the turn on, if I must say. I get my camera ready and swallow hard taking my first step behind Zak.
