The Park - Thursday afternoon

[misshargrove.livejournal.com]

Annette sat trying to read while Angel played near her with a dandelion. Reading, however, was not going as planned because she kept laughing at her kitty. She was just too cute to ignore. Annette still wondered at the gift-giver, but she would keep quiet about her assumptions. She loved Angel already and that was all that mattered. Growing up without a pet, it would seem, made it all too important now.

The day was pleasant and she was content.

At least for now.

[the park is open for whatever parkly needs you may have :) and it was here all along I swear it!]

Taking a break from his duties at the Photo Hut, Leo went for a walk in the park. In honor of it being a gorgeous day.

Annette spotted Leo and smiled engagingly, "Hey, Leo!"

[mr-hippie.livejournal.com]

"Hey Man!" Leo waved, and headed in her direction. There was something moving around nearby. "What's that?"

[misshargrove.livejournal.com]

"That's my kitty," Annette replied, picking up Angel and showing her to Leo. "She was a gift yesterday. An anonymous gift. Want to hold her?"

[mr-hippie.livejournal.com]

"Sure." Leo agreed, carefully taking the kitty. Leo's long hair would probably make a delightful kitty toy.

[misshargrove.livejournal.com]

It did. Angel started to immediately paw at Leo's long hair. "She likes you, Leo!"

[mr-hippie.livejournal.com]

Leo made his hair more exciting by taking a strand in his fingers and wiggling it. "That's a lot better than the alternative."

[misshargrove.livejournal.com]

"Yes, it is," she said grinning. The alternative most likely being scratched near to death. Well, not really. Angel was just a kitten.

"So what are you doing out and about today?"

[mr-hippie.livejournal.com]

"Just enjoyin' the weather Man." he said, reaching out to tickle Angel under the chin. "Oh hey, I think I might have found a good place to look for ghosts."

[misshargrove.livejournal.com]

"You have? Where?" She came up on her knees, totally interested in what he was saying.

[mr-hippie.livejournal.com]

"You ever hear of Efferton Manor?"

[misshargrove.livejournal.com]

"No, wait. Did you mention it to me at one time before? Oh, no, nevermind, I'm thinking of the cemetary I think."

[mr-hippie.livejournal.com]

Leo tried to remember. "I don't think so Man." he said finally. "But it's this big spooky mansion on the edge of town."

[misshargrove.livejournal.com]

"Leo! Are you going to it? Oh you have got to take me with you!"

[mr-hippie.livejournal.com]

"I have to get some stuff together first." And make sure he knew the way well enough that he wouldn't forget. "Maybe, next week?"

[misshargrove.livejournal.com]

"Yes, that will work. You won't forget about me will you?" She tilted her head, giving him a direct stare.

[mr-hippie.livejournal.com]

"I won't." he promised. "Remind me anyway."

[misshargrove.livejournal.com]

That had her laughing, "Okay, Leo, I will remind you, you can count on it."

[mr-hippie.livejournal.com]

"So what do you think we'll need?" he asked. "Flashlights, cameras..."

[misshargrove.livejournal.com]

"Flashlights, cameras, nightvision goggles which I've got. Um, maybe a recording device, both visual and audio..." Annette was deep in thought here.

[mr-hippie.livejournal.com]

Leo fished an old receipt out of his pocket and started to jot that stuff down.

[misshargrove.livejournal.com]

"Do you think all of that sounds about right?" She asked as he started writing stuff down.

[mr-hippie.livejournal.com]

"I didn't think of the nightvision goggles." he admitted. Suddenly remembering something, he started fishing through his pockets. Rolling papers, lighter, pipe, little ziplock baggie half full of...orgeno. Yeah that's the ticket. Ah! Here it was, small notebook.

"Uh, let's see. They can make it cold, and animals can see 'em."

[misshargrove.livejournal.com]

"What can make what cold and animals can see what?"

[mr-hippie.livejournal.com]

"Ghosts Man." Leo said. "This book I read said that it got cold when ghosts were around."

[misshargrove.livejournal.com]

"Oh, then maybe we should bring a jacket."

[mr-hippie.livejournal.com]

"Good idea." Leo nodded. "What kind of recording things should we bring?"

[misshargrove.livejournal.com]

"Well, a video that has nightvision of course, and any sort of audio recording will do. Do you have any of those things, Leo?"

[mr-hippie.livejournal.com]

"I think I've still got that nifty camera with the night vision yeah. And I'm sure I've got a tape recorder somewhere."

[misshargrove.livejournal.com]

"I've got both, Leo, so I can totally help you in your searching."

[mr-hippie.livejournal.com]

"Cool Man." Leo nodded. "You think we should invite other people too?"

[misshargrove.livejournal.com]

"Hey, that would be sort of fun, wouldn't it? Like a search party for ghosts or something. How cool!"

[mr-hippie.livejournal.com]

"I'll put up a sign or something."

[misshargrove.livejournal.com]

She nodded enthusiastically, "That'd be a good idea Leo. Gee, you're pretty smart."

[mr-hippie.livejournal.com]

"It's a gift." Leo smiled modestly.

[misshargrove.livejournal.com]

She smiled wide, "I like it."
