Alright! Cut!!!"
And after quite a while the individual session in the welcoming of the 7th member of the team finally came to an end.
***
"Everyone! As usual, I'm not gonna say much about it, like always just do your best guys okay? Hopefully, we'll get some definite evidence to show. I'm leaving it to the ghostbusters team," said Derek who was joining his both palms as if he was trying to pray.
"Yayyy!!!" Alex seemed much more enthusiastic than the usual for investigation.
"Rob and Steve!!! I'm leaving it to you guys again," Derek glanced at the twin brothers who were doing the camera work apart from him.
They were the cameramen who used to shoot the team's investigation outside the native area. And as always they were now instructed by Derek to record the whole journey of the team.
Picking up their travel bags everyone came out from the studio room into the reception area where the receptionist wished them a safe journey, "You guys leaving already? Happy and safe journey everyone. Hope you'll discover great things there."
"Thanks, Tiffany!! Let's hope everything goes well!" Celia responded.
Outside, there were 2 SUVs parked especially waiting for the team members to arrive.
One could just see how many facilities were provided to the team. And why not? After all, ghostbusters were delivering the most veracious content.
Everyone knew that but there were haters too, who always used to claim every activity to be fake. Then, there were some skeptics to defy every possible evidence.
Loading their travel bags into one of the SUVs, Rob and Steve too decided to go in the luggage carrier SUV.
While in the other SUV, Mike sat at the front beside the driver. Alex being so cheery and in an uplifting mood went inside quickly and sat at the window seat. She instantly called for Felix to sit beside her, which he did.
Seeking opportunity Celia was about to sit beside Felix when Nick interrupted, "Hey! Celia! Let me sit there and then you can sit."
She was getting awkward vibes right now. She didn't know how to counteract. Although Felix and Celia didn't catch what Nick was trying at that time. However, everyone else knew what he was attempting to do.
Alex and Veronica knew very well that Nick was making Celia sit beside him keeping Felix away from her.
"Huh? What do you mean you will sit here? Are you sending Veronica to sit at the rear? Celia and Veronica will sit here. You go at the back along with Paul," Alex reprimanded Nick for his dirty trick which he was playing right under their nose.
"What? What's wrong with sitting at the back? Veronica can sit there with Paul too. Can't she? Also, why Felix is the only one then sitting along with you girls?" he demanded.
Suddenly, Alex hugged Felix from the side tightly with her arms wrapped around his neck. His arm getting lost in those two bountiful mounds as her grip tightened on him.
"Huh?" surprised by the sudden hug Felix could only blush because of how close her face was to his. Never in his life, he was actually hugged by a girl and now today such a beautiful lady was right beside him in such proximity.
Not only he could feel those breasts but since she was wearing only a tank top right now, he could also feel her naked skin rubbing with his sweatshirt. If right now, Felix didn't have his sweatshirt on then, they would have been in an intimate skinship.
Alex's denim jacket was on her lap which is why she was only in her tank top right now. He could feel her breath right on his neck. He could smell her body fragrance which made him blush even more.
"We ladies have some matter which we need to talk about. Of course! It's related to Felix too. Since he's the youngest we want to establish a nice relationship with him right from the start. This will help him too. He'll feel comfortable. Is this reason enough for you?" Alex asserted as she crossed her arms making her assets look bigger.
"Tch!!! Old nanny..." Nick muttered, a sullen expression on his face as he went at the back to sit with Paul unwillingly.
"I can hear you! Say that again and I'll disfigure your face with my punch..." She retorted in a loud voice. "Come inside Celia!" Now that Nick was already gone at the back, she immediately called Celia to have a seat beside Felix.
Celia seemingly happy with the current outcome soon came inside without wasting a second. She sat right beside Felix. Her face was slightly red. No one knew what she was thinking.
Having two god damn gorgeous beauties on his both sides, Felix didn't know what to say at all. This was the first time he has ever been in such a situation.
'Oh Damn! What now? They are too close. They both are so beautiful. Probably the most beautiful ladies I've ever seen in my life. I'm not at all used to this. And now I'll be conversing with them, traveling with them, living with them, and whatnot. This is too much. My heart is racing...' he was so nervous right now. Anyone would be. If those kinds of beauties sat beside you on both sides, even a normal man would get nervous.
After Celia, Veronica sat at the other window seat and closed the door indicating that they were ready to move.
Mike told the driver to move, the driver nodded and both the SUVs left.
While on the way, Nick was fuming with anger and kept giving a vicious glare to Felix on their every eye contact.
'Why is he always picking on me? I don't think I've offended him at all. I hardly talked to him. Then why?' Felix muttered inwardly.
All of a sudden, he saw Nick looking at Celia with a tender gaze and something clicked in his mind. He joined the pieces together and soon came to a realization,
'Ahhh! So that's how it is. He is after Celia and trying to court her. He wanted to make her sit next to him but Alex made him sit at the back and not only that, Celia is now sitting beside me. So that's why he kept glaring at me. I see. I see now. Hmph! Starting with a fit of jealousy to court a girl? It never ends well. Even though I never had any contact with a girl. I at least do know this.'
It only took a moment for Felix to decipher Nick's personality completely and he was not pleased at all with his behavior. But, he didn't care. He was never a push-over person. And, he never feared guys like Nick at all. In fact, he was more than happy to welcome him.
'Come at me then!' he was all ready to have a faceoff with him anytime.
"So? Felix boi..." Alex suddenly called him which made him come out of his trance.
"Huh? Yes?"
"Felix boi! What did you say about us in the individual session? Fufu~"
"Oh! I..."
Before he could even say anything, Veronica's voice resounded,
"Sister Alex? You can't ask this right? It's our pact. So no questions about that now. As I said before, the fruit of patience is always..."
"Is always sweet. Yeah! Yeah! I get it. Fine! No questions about that now," Alex replied in a somewhat dejected tone.
Feeling confused he asked, "What about it?"
Seeing this as an opportunity Celia looked at Felix and started explaining, "Umm... Felix... It's a pact we members made. You cannot tell what you said in the individual session. No one tells anyone about their session to anyone. Once the video is uploaded only then you can see and get to know what others said about you. It's more fun this way. This is why Sis Veronica stopped Sis Alex."
"Ahhh! I see..." He actually liked the idea. Truly, it was more fun in that way. He was thinking about what reactions will they give when they'll come to know about his session.
As he was getting lost in his thoughts again, a familiar irritable voice came from his back, "Hey there! Rookie!? Now let me ask you some very basic questions," Nick from the back seat let out in a voice loud enough to be heard by everyone.
Watching his attitude even Paul shook his head. Alex couldn't help but frown at the way how he addressed Felix. Similarly, Celia was getting some negative vibes like whatever was about to take place, it won't go well. Veronica stayed quiet and Mike was paying attention to the road along with the driver.
In response, Felix just nodded. Now he was familiar with Nick. He was ready for all the tricks Nick had in his sleeves.
"So tell me, where we were back then?" Nick questioned.
"Huh? Inside the studio of Ghostbusters?" Felix answered back.
"Right! What do Ghostbusters do?"
"As the name suggests? Ghostbusting?"
"Pffttt! Hahahaha! that's the lamest answer I've ever heard."
Hearing Nick's laugh Alex frowned again. She didn't like how he kept mocking Felix time and again. Celia furrowed her brows too. Although she had a favorable impression of Nick. However, ever since Felix came, Nick was behaving strangely and she didn't find it pleasant at all.
She kept looking at Felix's face trying to find how he felt. She was continuously hoping that he won't mind Nick's comments because she never wanted Felix to have a bad start right after joining the team.
"Alright! Alright! Oh, man!! Haha! Next question. Where are we going now?" He asked trying hard not to laugh again.
"That's the lamest question I've ever heard," responded Felix.
"Pfftt... Hahahahaha!!!" This time it was Alex who burst into laughter. She was already pissed with Nick since the beginning. Firstly, he revealed her age, then he called her old nanny, and now he kept mocking Felix which made her fuming in anger. Since she knew how to be calm, she didn't extend the matter further.
And, now Felix just verbally smacked him in front of everyone which impressed her the most. Her mood soon uplifted so much that she couldn't control herself from laughing hard.
"You....!!!" Felix's reply not only made Nick irked enough but he was even about to spit out some cuss words.Swallowing his anger he pointed his finger to Felix, "Look kiddo! You should know how to talk with your seniors. If you want to be a part of this team, then do keep in mind that whatever you speak, just think twice before speaking otherwise outcome won't be so well next time.""Are you threatening him?" Alex who was laughing just a few seconds ago suddenly became serious and glared at him.How can she be quiet after getting to know that someone is trying to threaten Felix? Of course! Alex and Nick have been a part of the team since long ago and have worked in so many investigations together. Yet, she never actually liked Nick's personality. Although she never hated him. But, that doesn't mean she was fond of him either. Their chemistry was really awful.On the other hand, even though she just met Felix a few hours ago, she was already impressed by
"That is what I'm asking. Who's the most beautiful among us then!?" She smiled mischievously, her enchanting blue eyes trying to dig deeper into him while he sweated profusely."That... I mean... you all are beautiful," Felix moved back a little bit since Alex was leaning onto him too much.He had already experienced those two bountiful mounds before in the car. If he experiences those on his chest now, there's no way a tent won't form inside his jeans. And, that tent can make things difficult for him."Hmph! Aren't you saying this so that you won't get in trouble while saying the truth?""No! No! Sister Alex! What I said was really right from the bottom of my heart.""You... Did you just called me Sister!?""Huh? Yeah! I shouldn't!?""Why do I feel like this?""Feel like what?""Like..." She placed a finger on her lower lip and added. "I'm happy that you called me sister but at the same time I don't like it at all."
"So Felix!?" "Yes, Leader?" "What's your specialty?" "Huh!?" Perplexed by the sudden question, Felix chuckled awkwardly looking here and there as all his teammates locked their gazes on him with curiosity visible in their eyes. Even, Nick was slightly curious about his specialty. 'No doubt this is an important question. Even, that Nick is looking at me waiting for my answer.Damn it! What should I say? I fucking don't know," Naturally, Felix couldn't say aloud what he was thinking right now, so the only option for him was~ "By specialty you mean?" "Oh! Let me explain Felix boi." Alex chimed in with a slightly excited tone. "It's like this~ Mike is our leader so he leads the team, deciding on what to do next and what not to do. He's the bravest among all of us. He's also good with those Ouija boards. He uses EMF (electromagnetic field) sensors most of the time." She explained. "As for me, my sense of awareness is real
They both exchanged glances and blushed, like a newly happy lovey-dovey couple but there was someone who was staring daggers at them.And, it was none other than Nick. Of course! Who else could it be if not him? He was gnashing his teeth in fury right now.'You will regret it brat! You will surely regret it,' he snarled as he kept looking at them thinking of ways on how to degrade Felix's image in Celia's eyes.On the other hand, Felix and Celia being ignorant of Nick's expression kept glancing at each other, "Thank you for your compliment! However, I don't think I'm that handsome Miss Celia," Felix scratched his cheek embarrassedly as he stole a glimpse at her."Miss Celia again? Please call me by my name Felix.""Ah! Alright! I'll keep that in my mind now."'This is not right. I don't want him to address me like that. I don't want him to treat me like an elder person. I want him to call me by my name as if we are on equal terms. It's becau
Between their chat, Mike's voice resounded, "We're here!" This made everyone turn their heads to the window to finally witness the so-called ~ Suicide Bridge. Felix and others stared outside the window to get an actual view of the bridge. "Alright! We have arrived. I won't be leaving the bus and indulging in your activities. So, spare me out, guys! Leave your needless baggage inside only. I'm gonna park my bus right here. And, whenever you feel like my assistance is required just call me. Okay!?" As they were peeking outside from the gaps of the windows still busy while scrutinizing the bridge, Brian's voice instantly made them realize that they should move out now. Saying that, Brian lifted off his hat exposing his short brown hair and slung it onto the small hook which was positioned near the rearview mirror above. He wasn't entirely exhausted yet. However, he still decided to rest a little as he slumped back into the seat.
As they entered, Felix took a sharp breath, tightened his backpack, and stepped forth. But, the moment his right foot entered into the vicinity of the bridge and came in contact with the road, his eyes widened as a terrifying chill went down his spine. Until now, he stood there still without shifting an inch. A strong current went through his body making his body tremble. His face lowered, no one could see what expression he was wearing right now. His hair billowing in the breeze. He slowly closed his eyes to double-check what he felt earlier. And, right after a few seconds, his eyes went wide again but there was something unusual about it now. A faint glint passed through his eyes. His eyes shone brightly under the moonlight and a small and secret smile spread across his mouth. Even though he couldn't see through his sweatshirt, he could feel that his arms were covered in goosebumps currently. If his old man could see his expression now, then he coul
"Nooo! I'm really sorry. It was my fault, so you must accept it. Also..." "Fine! I accept your apology. Hehe~ What else you want to say?" He looked at her intently before smiling brightly. Then, he said something which made her go wide-eyed and blush unduly. After what he just said, Alex immediately turned away, attempting to conceal her cold blushed cheeks. Felix could only smile at her behavior. "Heyyy! You guys!? Are you done!?" Mike's sudden distant voice brought both of them out of their stupor. Hearing the call, Alex slightly raised her chest. Her face was entirely covered in blush. "Let's... Let's go!!" And without taking another glance back at him, she strode away hastily in large strides towards her teammates. *badump* *badump* Each step she took, her heart raced frantically. 'What is this strange feeling? It has never happened to me before. Why do I keep feeling like this, whenever he says something ho
A momentary silence fell, when right after a few seconds, suddenly another voice resounded. **Olivia** "This... This..." Veronica stuttered, her body coated in cold shivers shuddered as she glared at the device wide-eyed. Not only her but everyone else went silent. They didn't expect that Felix's question will directly provide them with the answer. This was a clear one-to-one conversation with the mysterious entity. Of course, this wasn't the first time they have obtained such evidence. There were many times when they underwent much more bizarre activities in the past. Yet, no matter how much habitual they became, this was that sort of thing that would give anyone goosebumps every time something transpires. Veronica was thrilled to the core. It wasn't that she was completely aghast. Indeed, she was spooked. However, this is what she sought. This was the reason why she joined this team in the first place. To feel the excitement especial
"You did what!????" Alex cried out. "Huh? I said Felix and I had a chat last night. To be correct, it wasn't night anymore. Yeah!" Veronica nodded her head as she was trying to recall the actual time when she and Felix chatted in the mansion. "Is there any problem Sis, Alex?" She tilted her head and asked. "Ah! No! It was just," turning her head in Felix's direction, Alex frowned. "I wonder what he's going to do now." "Don't worry about him," Veronica replied. "He was a teacher so he knows exactly what he's doing. I don't think Felix is dumb at all, so he'll definitely do some wonders hehe~" "You sure have a lot of confidence in him. Huh?" "Sis Alex! To be honest, I don't know much about him. I'm saying this because I know that he's not a foolish person. When he acts, he does it by making sure that he'll be able to do that. This is what I have perceived after being around him. And, as we'll continue to investigate more. Slowly, I'll be
Carter came down from his bus, "I see you got a new member. Don't you think a little chat is needed here?" And then, Mike's voice resounded. "Come down! Felix!" Felix stood from his seat. Celia gave him some space and then he slowly walked outside the bus. He saw the other team's leader Carter who kept scanning him like a scanner. "Quite young indeed!" Carter commented. Mike gave a smile before nodding, "Young but experienced." Carter raised his brow at Mike's response then shook his hands with Felix. "Name's Carter! You can call me Sir Carter. If you are wondering how I know your leader then we were hostlers back then." Felix nodded in acknowledgment. He noticed that the other team members came out of their bus as well. Tyler, the one who mocked Nick came to him and patted hardly on his shoulder. "You know kid? That offer is still available for today. Take your time and then decide. Opportunities like t
It was 3:15 in the noon when Billy and Kevin arrived. The other two cameramen who were replacing Rob and Steve.Brian's bus was ready and he told Mike that he would pick them up at 5:30 in the evening.So, everyone was busy in readying themselves.Time passed by quickly and soon they were in Brian's bus again onto their next journey.It was 6:30 in the evening when they reached at the site which was the infamous Queen Mary.The retired ocean liner which now serves as a 3 star hotel.Just as they were moving towards the entrance another vehicle's horn caught their attention.*Honk* *Honk*"See! I told you guys! They're all gathered here." Alex humphed in contempt the moment she saw the approaching vehicle and turned her gaze away from the bus which soon came to a halt.Felix looked over his right shoulder from the window without sliding its glasses only to find a luxurious red-colored bus that stopped right next to them.
After what happened at the site, Felix and the others traveled back and now were in Mira's mansion to rest for a while. It was 4:15 am already and they all changed into their night wears. They were in Mike's room and by the looks, it seemed like they were having some sort of argument. "Look! We traveled from Canada to here in LA, we did our investigation, nobody has taken any sleep at all and now you are telling me we have to leave in the evening for our next investigation?" Alex let out. She was in her black tee and a pajama sitting on Mike's bed. On her left was Celia wearing her light blue pajama set. And, on her right was Veronica wearing a lilac-colored nightgown. Paul and Felix too were seated on the bed in front of these three beautiful ladies. On the other hand, Nick, Mike, Rob, and Steve could only choose the floor to sit down on since there wasn't any other place to sit. After their tiresome speculation of hou
*Silence* When Felix finished speaking, he realized that all eyes were on him. A tension soon commenced building up inside of him. His teammates were staring at him with their mouths agape as if the cat just got their tongue. A quiet then punctuated the air between them. The only sound which could be heard was the whistling sound of the gentle cold breeze passing through the iron barriers. Alex being tongue-tied shifted forward, closer towards him. The lights from the bridge falling across her beautiful face, her gleaming blue eyes directed towards Felix. However, those eyes right now had a hint of confusion and some doubts. "What?... What was that Felix!? What just happened? How!?" Meeting her eyes completely, Felix was left a little speechless. 'Damn! I screwed up.' "I... Uhh..." he stumbled over the words. "This was just my hypothesis." Her lips pursed as she and others examined him trying to find whether he was tell
"Huh!?" His statement caught them by surprise. Even Felix was caught off guard. On the other hand, Nick had a vicious smile all over his face. "Felix!?" locking her gaze on him, Celia called out his name anxiously. She wanted to know whether what Nick said was true or not? Why would Felix say something like that? 'This guy... Tch!!' There was no doubt that Nick did succeed in setting him in a tight spot. Yet, he simply stared at Nick with his half-opened eyes indifferently. "Well! Brother Nick! Yes! I did say that to you earlier." Felix started to explain. "Ah!?" A gasping sound emerged from his left which obviously belonged to none other than Celia. Why? Why would Felix say something like that for her? He didn't want to share his dinner with her? Why? Numerous thoughts appeared in her mind implying that she was hurt. However, her expression soon turned into happiness when Felix quickly added. "But, I said that
