Shortly after We Came as Romans blared from my phone as<br />
it rang again. When I picked it up, his voice echoed with the same<br />
enthusiasm as it had when he first found the EVP. “Dude. He’s right.<br />
This is dead on.”<br />
“I know!” I giggled, suddenly feeling giddy. It had to be<br />
from the discovery, right?<br />
“We should celebrate,” he decided. “Do you want to hang<br />
out tonight?”<br />
“I’d like to, but I’m working until eleven.”<br />
“Oh. Well, we’re doing another investigation on Saturday.<br />
Would you want to come along again? Susannah was asking for<br />
you.”<br />
In spite of my inhibitions, I really did want to go on another<br />
investigation with them. <strong>The</strong> first one had broken out a part of me I<br />
hadn’t even known existed, and I wanted to get to know her a little<br />
better. And besides, this whole evidence-of-the-paranormal thing<br />
was becoming a little addictive. I’d actually plugged my recorder<br />
into my car so I could listen to it on the way to and from work and<br />
search for more EVPs. I hadn’t found anything yet, but that only<br />
made me more eager to come across another.<br />
I couldn’t keep avoiding Tucker forever, anyway. Maybe I<br />
felt a little awkward now that I realized how hot he actually was, but<br />
that was okay. I could be attracted to him in the heat of the moment<br />
without hurting anyone.<br />
“Yes. I’d love to come.”<br />
Over the course of the following month, I went on three more<br />
investigations with his group. Each time, the people in the team<br />
changed up. Tucker wasn’t always the team leader; once there had<br />
been another man in charge. But I still got to pair up with him every<br />
time. More than once, I caught myself just sort of gazing at him and<br />
wondering what it might be like to kiss him. But I always managed<br />
to shake it off and refocus. I was doing a good job of convincing<br />
myself that it was still just fueled by the excitement and all the<br />
emotion being tossed around inside me during investigations.<br />
As far as evidence went, we didn’t gather anything else solid.<br />
Some of the group members were more sensitive to the spirit energy<br />
