As he sat in his guest roo Winn should have felt better than he did Thanks to some evocative ca rooloa, the brass back in LA was thrilled with the presell footage and was set to start running it The butler had also coave permission for all kinds of access

Stan the cay exam on the damn house for all the places he could stick his lens

But Gregg didn&039;t have the taste of victory in his hts riding his gut and a tension headache that ran from the base of his skull all the way into his frontal lobe

The problem was the hidden caht before

There was no rational explanation for what it had captured

Ironic that a "ghost hunter," when confronted with a figure who disappeared into thin air, needed Advil and Tums You&039;d think he&039;d be overjoyed that for once he didn&039;t have to get his cae

As for Stan? He just shrugged it all off Oh, he thought it was a ghost for sure--but that didn&039;t faze hiain, he could have been tied to a set of railroad tracks on soht, Perfect, tireased

There were advantages to being a pothead

As the clock struck ten down below, Gregg got up from the laptop and went to theMan, he&039;d feel better about this whole thing if he hadn&039;t seen that long-haired figure roaht before

To hell with that: Better that he hadn&039;t seen the fucker outside in the hall pulling a hallucination&039;s trick of now-you-see-it, now-you-don&039;t

Fro to see the Easter bunny out there?"

He glanced over at her and thought she looked great propped up against the pillows, her nose in a book When she&039;d taken the thing out, he&039;d been surprised to see it was the Doris Kearns Goodwin about the Fitzgeralds and the Kennedys He&039;d have figured she was irl

"Yeah, I&039;m all about the cotton tail," he o down and see if I can get the bastard&039;s basket"

"Don&039;t bring back any s, chocolate bunnies, that fake fuzzy grass--all good The Peeps freak me out"

"I&039;ll have Stan come sit with you, &039;kay?"

Holly&039;s eyes lifted from Camelot&039;s backstory "I don&039;t need a nanny Especially not one who&039;s liable to light up a joint in the bathroom"

"I don&039;t want to leave you alone"

"I&039;m not alone" She nodded to the camera in the far corner of the rooainst thejaht was really nice Of course, the color was undoubtedly an expert dye job but it was the perfect shade of blond against her skin

"You aren&039;t scared, are you," he said, wondering exactly when it was that they&039;d traded places on that account

"You ht?" She s a trick on both of us as payback for jerking hie Besides, it got me back in your bed, didn&039;t it Not that you&039;ve done anything ed his windbreaker and went over to her Taking her chin in hand, he looked into her eyes "You still want me like that?"

"Always have" Holly&039;s voice dropped "I&039;" When he just looked at her, she threw up her hands "You&039;re a bad bet You&039;re et ahead You reduce everything and everyone around you to a lowest common denominator and that allows you to use them And when they aren&039;t useful? You don&039;t remember their name"

Jesus she was sht "So why do you want to have anything to do with me?"

"Sometimes I don&039;t really know" Her eyes returned to the book, but they didn&039;t go back and forth over the lines They just locked onto the page "I guess it&039;s because I was really naive when I ave hton"

"You "

"It can be I&039;ve been hoping to grow out of it and then you do stuff like look after ain"

He stared at her,her perfect features and her sled and strange, and like he owed her an apology, he went over to the caot your cell phone with you?"

She reached into her robe&039;s pocket and took out a BlackBerry "Right here"

"Call e happens, &039;kay?"

Holly frowned "Are you all right?"

"Why do you ask?"

She shrugged "Just never seen you quite this"

"Anxious? Yeah, I guess there&039;s so to say connected, actually It&039;s like you&039;re truly looking at me for the first time"

"I&039;ve always looked at you"

"Not like this"

Gregg went over to the door and paused "Can I ask you so weird? Do you color your hair?"

Holly put her hand up to the blond waves "No I never have"

"It&039;s really that blond?"

"You should know"

As she cocked her eyebrow, he flushed "Well, woet dye jobs down you know"
