Chapter Twenty-Six : Power Outage
October 2020

    Carlos Molina walked around his house with a ghost hunting app on his iPad. The green haze on the screen read paranormal activity. And that was what he needed to check, "You can't hide forever, ghosties." The screen said, ghost detected, "Gottcha!"

    The lights switched on, Victoria Diza standing there instead of a ghost, "For the last time, mijo. Ghosts are not real."

    Reggie clicked his tongue, "Typical adult. Remember when we were kids, and how they never believed what we said?"

    Stephanie quickly nodded her head, "Sometimes I think they didn't trust if I spelled my name right."

    Alex shook his head, "I'm pretty sure that was a you problem. I was always pretty trustworthy. And well Steph... yeah."

    Luke huffed at a sigh at his three friends, "Shouldn't we be more worried about the twins? Their Dad just busted them. Plus Julie was already in trouble. He's probably gonna make her quit the band."

    "No." Stephanie shook her head, "Jay wouldn't allow it. Even from their dad. He's a good brother like that."

    "Compared to yours." Stephanie hit Alex on the back of the head after the comment, "OW! What was that for?"

    "You know what that was for."

    "Either way." Reggie turned his attention away from the other ghost and back to the 11 year old boy, "We can still help Carlos. Adults not believing children ends tonight. Showtime." Reggie leaned back, turning off the lamp that was next to him.

    Victoria let out a gasp, "Ghosts aren't real, huh?" Carlso asked his aunt, both looking up from the iPad screen. "How do you explain that?"

    "Light bulbs burn out all the time, Carlos."

    "Ohh. Wrong answer, tia." Reggie jumped off of the chair, causing Stephanie to groan. "Explain this." He started to shift the blinds up and down, flashing light into the room from the moon.

    Carlso smiled as his aunt pulled him closer, "Maybe it's my mom." Stephanie felt a pain of guilt at that. "She knows I haven't been replacing the toilet paper!"

    "Your mama would never scare us. This is the work of a demon!"

    Reggie stopped at that, Stephanie openly laughing, "Hey. Words hurt."

    "Wait." Carlso raised his iPad as Reggie moved away from the window, "I gotta get it on video."

    Reggie pointed at the boy, "Yeah you do." He reached down at the sheet that Victoria had just washed, "Time for an old classic." Victoria screamed, pulling Carlos from the room, Reggie however just laughed.
