Episode 2
Club night. I should have a good time. I feel all dolled up. Hopefully I look okay. But it's time for the second part of my Freddy story. Hope it keeps you all entertained.
“Mom, I’m home!” Julie called as she walked in the door. Boxes were piled everywhere. They had just moved in the day before and she had gone to explore the neighborhood.
“I’m in the kitchen!”
Julie headed for the kitchen, weaving her way in and out of boxes. Finally she saw her mother, Beverly, unpacking a box of pots and pans. “Well, I’m back.”
“Anything interesting? Library? Stores?”
Julie grinned. “I found a haunted house.”
He mother sighed. “Another one?”
“Hey, can I help it if every town has one?”
Beverly pulled a pot out of the box. “No, but you don’t have to investigate each one. You could just leave it be.”
Julie leaned against the wall. “My research doesn’t hurt anyone or anything.”
“So far the only the thing suffering is your love life.”
“Mother!”
Beverly put a pan under the counter and grinned. “Hey, I just say what I see.” She reached back into the box. “And I haven’t seen a special man in your life for quite some time.”
“It’s not my fault no one has any interest in my research.” She looked out the window. “Besides, I’ve got a feeling about this one. It’s gonna turn up something interesting.” She paused. “Well, I’m gonna go set up my computer. Call me if you need me.” Julie turned and started to walk out.
“Oh, Julie!”
Julie poked her head back into the kitchen. “What?”
“Doug and Jay called. They said they’ll be here tomorrow.”
“Great!”
Beverly shook her head. “I can’t believe you convinced them to come out from California just to help out.”
Julie shrugged. “Hey, friends are friends no matter where you go. Besides, they can help me with my research.”
“Enough with the haunted house!” She pointed out into the house. “Go unpack some boxes.”
Julie saluted and left.
