Nia arrives home and she goes straight to her room. She leaves her bedroom door open as she changes into her black jumpsuit and black airforces then packing her backpack. Tammy stood by the door, watching her quickly throw stuff into her bag.
"So..." Tammy starts.
"What's up?" Nia asked, not even looking at her.
"You're really gonna do this." Tammy says as she crosses her arms.
"Yhup."
"Nia, that house is like, not even close from here." Tammy said
"I know. We're gonna take a train there." Nia said while looking for something in her drawers.
"Nia, please don't do this. There's better stuff than going into some creepy old house looking for something that doesn't exist." Tammy said.
Nia turns around and tells Tammy in a serious face, "You don't believe that ghosts exist, but I still do. And I'm gonna prove to the world that they do too. Tammy, this is the one, I swear. This is gonna make me go viral." Nia said
"Nia." Tammy face palmed🤦♀️
"You're gonna have to cover me." Nia said
"Cover you? You know I can't do that, I'll be worried sick, wondering where the fuck you are." Tammy said
"Please. I helped you this morning when your knee got hurt, the least you could do is cover for me." Nia said
"Bu- you know what-fine, I'll do that. You better be home by 6pm. Not even 6, you better be home by 5pm."
"It's 4 right now."
"Yeah, and I'm giving you an hour to get back." Tammy said.
"Wha- okay whatever, and thanks." Nia said and hugged Tammy tightly.
"Be safe. I'm serious, be safe." Tammy repeated.
"Yeah, yeah." Nia mumbled as she went down the stairs.
...
At Evan's house...
"A train!? No no no, I can't." Olivia yells.
"Sshh!" Evan shushed.
"Sorry.. but I'm terrified of trains." Olivia stated.
"It's normal. But it's the only option we have, nobody has the money to pay for Uber or taxi." Nia said
"True." Harry said
"Alright. We're gonna sneak out from the back. Hopefully my little brother is not playing with our dog in the backyard." Evan said
"You have a dog?!" Everybody else quietly yelled.
"Oh euh.. forgot to mention. But don't worry, Micky doesn't bite.." Evan said
"Phew." Everyone exhaled
"..Unless he's never seen you before." Evan finished.
Nia's mouth wide open, "I swear I'm gonna kill you!" She said, whispering and yelling at the same time.
"No no, don't worry. I'll distract him then you guys can exit and then I'll be right behind you." Evan explained
"Okay. I think we're ready." Harry said
"Let's go." Evan said
They all crouch as they leave Evan's room and slowly roll out the living room where Evan's brother was sitting. Then they all crouched behind the kitchen counter because Evan's mom was on the other side while talking on the phone. The four remain behind the counter, waiting for Evan's mom to leave the kitchen.
