listening.
    If it wasn’t for the fact that his EMF meter wasn’t spiking, he’d swear he felt high levels. A creeping feeling washed over him. When he turned his head, he swore a shadow slid from his field of vision.
    After ten minutes of this he carefully stood and slowly backed out of the room. There was something there, and he had to get one of the other guys up there with the FLIR to take a closer look.

    Cabrio emphatically pressed the issue back at base. “Aidan, I’m telling you, someone needs to go check that room. Seriously.”
    Aidan looked at Purs. “What do you think?”
    He shrugged. “Gery and I are still working on the other end, we’re not done yet and it’s after midnight. You and Will should go check it out.”
    Aidan looked at Kal. “You’ll be okay here by yourself?”
    “Yeah. Why?” she asked.
    Aidan didn’t want to admit in front of everyone that Cabrio wasn’t the only one seeing shadows. He thought he’d caught a whiff of something earlier, but without any proof he wasn’t about to say anything around the volunteers. Not tonight, because whatever it was, it felt…
    Wrong .
    Adrian watched as Cabrio set off to talk to Will. Kal studied him. “What’s going on, Aid?”
    He forced a smile. “Too much caffeine and not enough sleep, I think.”
    I hope , he thought.

    Gery and Purson returned to the far end of the building. Purson looked at Gery. “It’s not my imagination, is it?”
    Gery agreed. “Something’s off around here. You feel it, too?”
    Purs looked around. “I don’t know what it is. It feels different than it did earlier. I just wanted to make sure I wasn’t imagining it.”
    “Not something good?”
    Purs shook his head. “No. Not even in the same universe as good.” He looked at Gery. “If it was up to me, I’d shut the shoot down right now. We’re being stalked.”

    Aidan left the base area to speak to Will. When he did, Kal suddenly felt a warm breeze. That didn’t make sense. They’d set up inside a windowless room, a former office from the looks of it.
    Despite the heat, she rubbed her arms as gooseflesh prickled her skin. She felt…watched.
    Stalked.
    It was creepy, a feeling she hadn’t had on any of the other investigations. Not even the incident in the elevator in Miami felt like this. Tonight it grew progressively worse. In fact, it creeped her out so much she was about to go in search of the others when one of the sound guys walked in. As quickly as it arrived, the feeling disappeared. She chided herself on her nerves.
    Probably PWS—putting up with Will’s shinola.

    Will was sorting through equipment in the van when Aidan walked up. Fortunately, Kal was nowhere to be seen.
    “Where is she?” Will growled.
    “Chill out. I left her at base.”
    Will fought the urge to grab Aidan and sniff his clothes. Will could even smell Kal on him from being in close proximity to her.
    Dammit, this is not good.
    “You going up to that third floor room with me?” Will asked. “Cab’s about to pop a vein over it. Who knows, maybe you’ll find something.”
    Aidan didn’t want to mention his suspicions to Will when he didn’t have proof. “Yeah. Ready?”
    Will finally located the other EMF meter. “Let’s do it.”
    They joined the camera crew in the lobby and briefly conferred. They followed Will and Aidan up the three flights of stairs to the room. After thirty minutes, neither man felt anything and didn’t catch any data on the meters or with the FLIR thermal camera. They eventually returned to the lobby.
    Cabrio eagerly waited for them. “Well? Did you find anything?”
    Will shook his head. “Nothing”
    “I’m telling you, Will, I saw a shadow in there. You know me, dude. You know damn well I don’t cry ghost. There’s something there.”
    “Well, it’s not there now, Cab. I don’t know what to tell you.”
    Cabrio ran a hand through his scruffy blond hair.
