out of batteries or stops working. We always want to be able to see.
And make sure they both work first.”
“Thank you,” I breathed gratefully, and I followed her
instructions. When I turned on the first flashlight, I raised my
eyebrows in surprise. “It’s red!”
She smiled, displaying perfect white teeth. Jeez, I’d like to
go to her dentist. “That’s because red light is the only color that our
eyes don’t have to adjust to.”
“Oh.” I stuck one flashlight in my pocket and put the other
one on the counter for the time being. “What else do you think is
good to take?”
“Since Tucker’s the team leader, he’s going to be sort of
wandering in between the rooms, keeping an eye on us and making
sure we don’t need any help. You guys won’t be investigating the
same way that we are, but I’m sure you’ll have plenty of chances to
snap pictures. And the voice recorder you can just leave on
constantly, even if you aren’t comfortable asking questions yet. Or
you can take an EMF meter, and any time you get a spike you know
to start taking pictures like crazy!”
I decided I might as well just grab everything. I stuffed a few
extra pairs of batteries in my back pocket, the EMF meter in one
front pocket and the recorder in the other. Once my jeans were
completely stuffed with equipment, I picked up the camera and
flashlight and squared my feet. “Okay, I’m ready.”
By that time, Tucker had returned to the kitchen, and among
the five of them they managed to figure out where to place their
motion detectors and video cameras. After everything was in place
and every member had the appropriate equipment, it was time to
split up. Brad and Adrian elected to start on the second floor, and
Susannah and Ethan took the first.
“Now, remember,” Tucker said as we waited for the first
team to get situated upstairs, “if you’re going to take a picture, say
‘flash’ beforehand so we know to brace ourselves. And if you set off
any other equipment or make a noise by accident, let everyone know
that it was you.”
“How do we let the people on the other floor know?” I asked.
