Yeah, we tried that & look where it got Dean.
Personal Notes: We were directed to this job by way of recommendation. Mr. Morison knew of us through a friend of a friend. (Dale Miro from the Arden case in Biloxi.) When we arrived in town, I contacted the Morrison’s to discuss specifically what the problem was, though it sounded to me like it could be a poltergeist.
Well, excuse me. I didn’t mean to mess up your precious pages, but you’re getting it all wrong!
Fine! I’m filling this out, just like you want Dad.
So, we roll into town and Dean’s being his usual self. Which is getting a lot worse and you wouldn’t know since you don’t have to ride with him anymore. Any way, you know all the stuff about setting up shop and heading over to the house to interview the parents about everything going on. Been going on since they moved, don’t know what it could be, scared for their lives, blah blah, woof woof.
But what you guys didn’t bother to notice was that their daughter, Danitra seemed really upset when she got home from school. That’s why I asked to use the bathroom. She showed me where it was and I asked her how school was going since they moved. She said it was okay and I told her that I was glad that I didn’t have to do it anymore since I’d already got my GED. She seemed pretty surprised so I told her about being home schooled. She told me that some days she wished she could be home schooled. She didn’t say anything else about it and left to go to her room.
I know she came back down when we were leaving, but you guys also seemed to miss her minor freak out when her brother and his friend got home. If you’d looked, you would have noticed her keeping her back to the wall and those guys in her sights at all times until jock-o and friend went down to the basement. I know you were freaking about the lamp hovering in the living room. But since the parents were kind of hiding it from the kids, you didn’t notice that the disturbance stopped the moment the boys were gone from the room. Remember I told you to ask the dad when the second occurrence happened that night, if the kids were around. He told you that it happened right before his son’s friend left.
So that’s why I wanted to go to the school and check these kids out. At that point I was thinking it might be the son or friend, given the way Danitra was acting around them. So while you were calling the school the next morning about enrolling me, I was calling Danitra to see if I could tag along with her. So of course Dean and I picked her up and Dean was all preening all over the Impala while jock-o was drooling all over it. Again brainiac missed the floating backpack. I swear HE needs to get his head in the game.
After he dropped us off, I signed in at the office and got permission to shadow Danitra, pretending that I was a sophomore as well, which wasn’t hard to pull off, with my age being the major factor. Those classes were so freaking pedestrian! Everything was fine until it was time for gym. I didn’t bring along a change of clothes with me, but the gym teacher said what I was wearing was fine for the day and I could participate if I wanted. Danitra was showing me the locker room while the other girls were changing. Then I went back out to the gym to wait for them. A bunch of girls came out, talking about her behind her back. I guess you can’t tell under her clothes but she’s a little chubby. I wouldn’t bother to mention it, but those bitches were just so vicious about it. I really wanted to smack a few of their heads together. Because when she’s not being all shy Dani is pretty cool. When she came out of the changing room, those girls were all smiling and cooing to her face and then totally laughing at her behind her back.
After gym was much worse, since all the girls were showering. You could kind of see that Dani wanted to, but she was trying to hang back and wait until they were done. So she helped the gym teacher pick up the balls. And I admit it; I was eavesdropping on those girls. They were talking about some bet some guys had going on. (I didn’t care at the time, but it did make more sense later on.)We went for lunch and Jock-o stopped by with his brain dead dork to say hi to his sister. Things got weird then. It was like there was this whole vibration around our table. Nothing moved and there were no noises, but it just really raised the hairs on the back of my neck. When Jack and Brad left, the feeling just vanished. Dani started talking about her afternoon classes. And things were okay for the rest of the day. Except man, her English teacher, what a complete bastard. One kid was like, two seconds late and he spent twenty minutes lecturing the class about what a waste of his (the teacher’s) time it was. (Dani told me that he gives the same lecture every time someone is late for his class. Talk about a timewaster!)
I knew you guys were waiting to hear about that day when you came to pick me up, but when I saw that same bunch of bitches drooling over Dean, I figured we could boost Dani’s ego. Thank God Dean wasn’t a complete ass about it. The other reason was that I wanted to get Dani away from school and home so that I could talk to her about her brother and his friend. Unfortunately you guys scared her off. That’s why I gave her my cell phone number.
And that’s also the two reasons that I took my Ninja the next morning. Her parents weren’t too wild about her riding with me, but they gave in when I told them how long I had my license and no accidents ever! Plus the fact that I had all the gear you made me buy helped. And here’s the funny thing that got me thinking again. Dani’s brother wasn’t ready to go yet, but when we were getting on the motorcycle, his friend Brad was coming up the street. And there was that feeling in the air again. Dani really wanted to go as soon as she saw him, so we left. Now, we stopped to get some coffee, because again, I wanted to talk to her, plus I thought it would be cooler if we made a sort of grand entrance on the bike.
Now, by this point I sort of ruled Jock-o out on account of his not being present for the second vibe. And Dani really doesn’t like his friend. I managed to find out, under the guise of pretending interest in Brad. (BIG NOTE I said PRETENDING Dean!) I found out that soon after they moved to Rutland, Jack made friends with Brad. Things were fine then, but he was over there once and while Jack was getting something, he cornered Dani and felt her up. When she tried to push him off, he got a little nasty. He stopped when he heard her brother coming back, but apparently told her that if she told on him, he’d deny it and completely ruin her at school and by extension her brother. He’d also tried it at school and according to rumors Dani’s heard, has tried it with some other girls too. The little creep even knows where to go to avoid the security cameras that the school has set up.
And even though it was completely his fault, Dani believed him. I guess from what she says Jack has finally come into his own and she didn’t want to ruin that for him. So after that, we headed back to her place, which of course, was when you and Dean were preparing that general exorcism. So I’m thinking at that point that we have three suspects. First off, the supposed poltergeist. Second was Brad. Third was Dani. You know what happened during the exorcism and really, too bad that blow to the head didn’t knock some more sense into my brother’s head. What got me was that it happened when Dean got too close to Dani, reaching for that book. That sense was in the air. I could almost feel my hair standing on end it was so palpable. And typical Dean was trying to flirt with her, which scared her even more and BOOM! I know that he was just being nice, but maybe it’ll teach him a lesson.
So that narrowed my suspicions down to one. We left to do a little research at the PL, since Dean was knocked into the wall after the ritual. While you were reading that stupid article over the internet, I was looking up telekinesis. And what I learned was completely on board with what I was seeing. The user experiences heightened emotional distress, causing their power or ability to manifest momentarily. In most cases they don’t even know they’re doing it. So add up Dani’s self-esteem issues, trouble at school, fear of disappointing her brother and a complete creep macking on her and bingo.
I hope you know that I did try and mention this to you, but you were so immersed in this poltergeist business that you completely ignored me. So once again, it was Max to the rescue time. Which, you know, no big dealio. So next night, I convinced Dean that it might be a spirit or something possessing the kids, since we all knew that these strange incidences were only happening when the kids were home. I figured that there might be something in their school or medical records. Dean thought so too, so we decided to break into the school first, since the family didn’t seem to have a family GP yet. And there is the fact that new students get to talk to the guidance counselors within the first week of school. Just so they can get a “feel” for them. (EW! So glad I won’t have to be doing that.)
So anyways, I was coming up with a plan to help Dani, while Dean was breaking into the offices. Once we got in there, we each grabbed a computer to look over the files. At least that’s what Dean thought. While he was looking up files, I was hacking into the security system, which might I add, is woefully unprotected. And I found out that while the security cameras have tracking options, the school doesn’t have anybody to man them full time. So they basically set them on a fixed location and change that every few months. It made me wonder how Brad would know how to continuously avoid them.
Dean managed to find the Morrison’s records, along with their transfers. And like I suspected, Dani’s guidance counselor noted that she had experienced a drop in grades from her previous school and that she seemed to be having trouble adjusting. The counselor suggested seeing her again, but Dani hadn’t as of yet. On the other hand, Jack’s performance has come up; he’s been trying out for team sports and is feeling pretty good about himself. (I’m sure Dean told you about his deal with the devil idea on that.)Now, as I wrote, I was interested in Brad’s routine about the cameras and Dean was more than happy to pull up his records. It turns out that the little weasel is pretty good with computers and because of an incident early on in the year, is working off some sort of punishment by working in the offices under his vice-principle’s guidance. This means of course, that he had possible access to the computers and the routines they use.
So by that point I had a plan to help Dani out. It was hard to miss news about the dance that Friday. It was all over school. All I needed to do was approach Dani and see if I could get her on board with my plan. It took a while. But I finally convinced her. And while I was at the school having lunch with her, that’s when the bet I mentioned earlier, came into play. The guy that had the bet going on was Brad, surprise, surprise. And it involved how long it would take for him to get some from Dani. His bet was that it would happen by the time the dance was over. Others were betting that he either wouldn’t get any by then, or none at all. Well, this worked in perfectly with my plan. So I left Dani to go to her class and headed for the library. I signed into their computer room on a guest pass. Again, since the whole system was on the same network, it wasn’t hard to get into the security cameras. There’s a few that look over the hallway behind the gym, since the changing rooms are down there, plus there’s that back door, it makes sense to watch that area. I managed to move one so that it was centered on the corner. I also set up the tracking option on that specific camera for Friday so that if Brad managed to move Dani out of frame, it would track them and record.
So when I finished there, I met back up with Dani. She told me that she had cornered her brother and told him that if Brad was still interested in taking her to the dance, she would go. Between classes, her brother had handed her a note from Brad. So the date was on. The only problem I had was that I wouldn’t be able to go. Since you weren’t actually enrolling me, I wasn’t on the student register yet. That would mean I’d have to be invited by a student. Dani and I were talking about that and she asked me if it would be okay if Jack took me. For all that he’s coming out of his shell; I guess he’s still a little shy of the honeys. So I accepted. And I hope you feel bad now, with all those snarky comments you guys made about me not having MY head in the game. (And you know, to be fair, I did consider having Dean be Dani’s date. But there was the age difference, plus I think Dean can be intimidating enough if he wants and his presence may have kept Brad away. But it was nice of him to drive us there. Although he didn’t have to grill Jack like he did. And wasn’t it sweet that Jack brought me flowers?)
So the plan went off great. Although I had to spend a little time with Dani bolstering her courage. My whole idea with the Ninja actually helped out a lot. A couple of guys that had seen us came over to ask about it and we got to talking. Well, of course their dates just couldn’t stand to be left behind. A few of them were actually nice, not really a part of the kennel club. One girl, Leah, was in Dani’s art class and they got to talking about one of the projects. Leah thought that Dani did great and so they were off and talking about that. Kind of helped her out to talk about her own thing instead of hanging with mine. And it turns out that she does know a little bit about cars, since she helps her dad take care of that sweet classic Caddy he’s got.
Anyhow, to sum it all up, Dani let Brad drag her off and she managed to maneuver him to the appointed corner, which he was more than happy to do. He had set up some “witnesses” in the hall, so that he could win his bet. Dani said no, put up a fight, Brad went in for the pervert-o-rama routine, Jack and I happened to catch it. Jack caught his so-called friends watching this creep hurt his sister and not do anything for her. He was going to kick the living crap out of Brad for this, but the ruckus had managed to capture the attention of the chaperones. The principal came in to take over things, shooing us all away. I stayed since I was a witness to what happened. Of course it looked like a “he said, she said” sort of incident, until I asked if it could have been caught on camera. The principal wasn’t sure and sent someone to review the tapes. When Mrs. Brody got back well of course there was the evidence with gasp, shock, horrors, clear audio proof that Dani had said no very clearly and emphatically.
So, the principle informed Brad that there was going to be a suspension, and pending a re-investigation of some allegations made by other girls, possible expulsion and maybe criminal charges. And now Jack knows what was going on, Dani took part in her own defense, which she really needed to do if she was going to get through this and the dork brain finally gets his just desserts. I’d say it was a pretty good night. Oh and Jack and I swapped email addresses. He was pretty sorry that we didn’t get to finish the date. We stayed in town a few more days to make sure the disturbances were over, you guys of course thinking that Dean being thrown into the wall was some sort of leftover, “you’re making me leave, but I’ll have one last hurrah!” from the poltergeist.
You know, maybe if we ever get back this way, I’ll take Jack up on his offer of another date. He did send me the sweetest birthday card. And he made a mixed tape for me that I’ll have to pick up next time we’re in Kansas. You know dad, I might just do that. It’ll be fun to watch Dean’s head explode.
