Characters on the Hunt

PIP Headquarters

11:00 a.m.

Potpourri clung to the air with a sweet and soothing appeal.  The Partners in ParanormYA entertaining room no longer resembled an after-party, throw-down, bash catastrophe.  Linkin Park's "Breaking the Habit" played low in the background.  Abby slouched in a chair, dust rag barely held by her fingertips.  Indigo lay half on and half off the couch with a feather duster in hand.

Abby: I can't believe the whole place was trashed.

Indigo: I can't believe it took us all day and night to clean things up.

Abby:  It wouldn't have taken so long if that ghost friend of yours didn't keep moving things all over the place.

Indigo: Franny can't help herself.  But I'll talk to her.

*Knock, knock, knock at the front door.  Indigo and Abby bolted upright and looked at each other.*

Abby: Can't be Angela and Gwen.  It's Wednesday.  I glanced at their schedule and saw a visit to Jessa Russo's blog for today.

Indigo: Don't forget about J.L. Campbell.  Gwen said they may be stopping by to show off HQ.  I was hoping she meant their new work space in the addition next door.

*Indigo crept to the door and checked the peephole.  Her lips curled into a grin and a blush tinged her cheeks.*

Indigo: It's just Badger.

Abby: Did he get the Wild Cherry Pepsi?

*Indigo opened the door, looked at his empty hands, and dropped her smile instantly.*

Indigo:  No.  He didn't.  We're in soooo much trouble.

Our teen characters have some things to take care of.  While they're busy working on getting out of possible trouble, please stop by Joy's blog to see how Gwen and I actually work together and visit Jessa's blog to find out something painful both Abby and Indigo have in common.
