[font="Garamond"][size="2"]They were too close for Allyâ??s senses. There was no safe place anymore. There was so much spiritual activity that every time she tried to reach out, her head would throb, but she still had to do her best as they drew closer to the crack. The ravine looked as though it wasnâ??t even supposed to be there. [b]â??The crack looks like its pushing the land away from it.â?[/b]
[b]â??If thatâ??s the case it just furthers my pointâ?[/b] Phil warned, [b]â??The crack has a drastic influence on our world.â?
[/b][b]
â??We need to stop this, our worlds are separated for a reason.â?[/b] Eun Jung made a lot of sense, but no one really knew what to do.
[b]
â??Ally, the spirit that attacked you is coming, I could tell he was not finishedâ?¦ we need to move.â?[/b] Bluâ??s warning got the the team on their toes.
Ally could stand a headache, but another joyride seemed like the last thing she wanted. She reached out to her surroundings. The pain was instantaneous, but more bearable now,[b] â??Philâ?¦ look to your eight O'clock. Something is moving fast towards us.â? Phil nodded and faced in that direction. â??Cowboy, can you please keep me on the ground this time?â?[/b]
[b]
â??Iâ??ll give it my best miss Harper, but you wouldnâ??t be so easy to lift if you ate something once an a while.â?[/b] he jested, the team needed to be relaxed in order to combat this poltergeist. If they could keep relaxed the ghost would run out of energy. The most it could do then is hurl a snowball at them.
[b]
â??I have a safe weight for my height and age id like you to know! I may have even gained a pound from that pizza..."[/b] After saying this she immediately had to check her stomach with a quick pat to make sure it hadnâ??t ballooned on her when she wasnâ??t looking.
[b]
â??I know what your trying to do Cowboy, but talking about a girl's weight doesnâ??t help to keep her calm.â?[/b] Eun Jung stated, putting an arm around Ally. Cowboy thought of apologizing, but when he looked at Ally she stuck her tongue out . Instead he pushed his hat farther down his brow.
Phil motioned for attention using his right arm and fanning his fingers, [b]â??Ally's chauffeur is about one minute away. Any plan before it shows up?â?[/b]
The group looked to Cowboy.[b] "I am guessing this things not gonna take kindly to persuasion from Bluâ??s testimony,â?[/b] they all nodded, [b]â??we form a sky divers circle. Ally and Blu, take my hand. Phil, you take Allyâ??s and Eun Jungâ??s. Bluâ?¦ grab on to Eun Jung.â??[/b]
Eun Jung had the last word before the Poltergeist was on them[b], â??Keep your cool no matter what, and donâ??t let go!â?[/b] Ally sighed as she felt her feet loose the luxury of solid ground (it had to be her, she thought). Phil shot her a confident smile. His face said everything was going to be fineâ?¦ until he too fell out of gravity's good graces.
[b]â??Well this is unexpected.â?[/b] Phil stated calmly
[b]â??Have you been losing weight Phil?â? [/b]Ally cracked.
Phil let out a laugh, but was answered with turbulence. When the shaking eased up he replied.[b] â??We should really focus I thinkâ?¦ how is everyone holding up?â?[/b]
[b]
â??I would give you a thumbs up but I would have to let you go.â? [/b]Eun Jung stated.
[b]â??We are all chipper down here. You hang tight up there.â?[/b] Cowboy reassured. This poltergeist didnâ??t seem to be getting any weaker, but he knew his team could outlast anything.
[b]â??Guys, unless a ghost learned how to drive I think we might be getting some help.â?[/b] Phil could make out a Bombardier twelve person snow coach closing in on them.
[b]â??Who could be out here with us?â?[/b] Blu questioned.
Cowboy caught a logo, [b]â??The Paranormal World Navigatorsâ?¦ the team must have arrived here first.â?[/b] Cowboy answered. The Bombardier pulled to the side of Cowboy and Blu.
The car door opened and a white male in a trench coat shouted [b]â??Everyone in! we are getting you out of here."
[/b]
[b]â??You donâ??t have to say it twice Matt,â?[/b] Cowboy beamed as they began moving at a slow crawl towards the snow coach.
[b]â??Cowboy? Didnâ??t recognize you without the hat. Common and put some muscle into it!â?[/b] The poltergeist began shaking more furiously. The team held on but Eun Jung lost connection with the snowy ground. Blu was the first n the snow coach followed by Cowboy. The man with the trench coat, Matt, helped pull Eun Jung in but in the process she let Phil's hand slip. The chain of P.I.T. elites began making a horrible up and down wave, becoming a human sine/cosine graph.
[b]
â??Donâ??t you dare let him go miss Harper!â?[/b] Cowboy exclaimed now with the predicament of pulling two people inside.
[b]
â??I couldnâ??t if I wanted to partner, he would sooner take my arm off then let me go,â?[/b] she said painfully. Phil had now grasped Allyâ??s slender wrist with his free hand in a iron grip.
Matt shifted positions and grabbed on to the coat collar at the back of Allyâ??s neck [b]â??Common in you little poker shark you.â? [/b]
[b]â??What was that?â?[/b] Ally said as she was being pulled in.
[b]â??Matt here is a powerful user of psychometry.â? [/b]Cowboy told her as they placed her safely inside and tended to Phil.
[b]â??Howâ??s it hanging?â?[/b] Matt joked, taking one of Philâ??s hands, followed by Cowboy. They pulled him in while Blu shut the door closed [b]â??Step on it Aleksander!â?[/b]
[b]
â??A lot better now thank you very much Mrâ?¦..â?[/b] Phil said relived. This wasnâ??t the most fun he had ever had.
[b]â??Venon, but pleaseâ?¦ Matt works fine. â??[/b] he sat down in the front row and buckled up then motioned for the others to do the same. Ally took a seat up front in the row next to Matt, while the others stayed back next to the door. [b]â??Thatâ??s Aleksander Jay Gatsby, our wheel-man and power dampener, and the passenger seat is taken up by the lovely Hyun Jae Park, we call her Emily. Her intuition has saved us more than any detail I have caught.[/b]â?? Emily waved and Aleksander gave a friendly â??Yoâ? they all introduced themselves as they headed back to the P.W.N. headquarters.
Once they arrived they had stopped at the Snowcat and picked up their possessions, so they all changed socks and met up in the meeting hall. Cowboy and Matt were discussing their mission, making arrangements for the Snowcat to be relocated and repaired, as well as sending word to P.I.T. However when all the members joined the room, their attention shifted.
[b]
â??So I take it everyone saw the crack.â?[/b] Matt queried. The group slowly nodded affirmatively.[b] â??Then I would say you completed the mission safelyâ?¦ you can report back now, but if you feel you have more business I suggest taking some of our supplies and personnel with you.â? [/b]
[b]â??We knew Para-1 was out here, but I wasnâ??t informed McNamaraâ??s Aces were out here as well... Antarctica is a small world,â?[/b] Eun Jung added.
[b]â??We werenâ??t aware of your arrival either. We were on the lookout for Nicki McNamara actually. The cocky bastard wanted to take a picture of the freaking thing!â?[/b] Aleksander slammed his fist on the table.
[b]
â??Well.. we have been searching for the last forty-eight hoursâ?¦ I would hate to fail on the first assignment I made as team captainâ?¦ but I donâ??t think heâ??s showing upâ?¦ though I am glad we kept searching as long as we did.â?[/b] Matt looked a down at his laptop. Burying his emotions into work as always.
Ally sat down next to him and gave him a peck on the cheek. [b]â??I am glad you did too!â?[/b] He was a bit startled at first, but then sat up straight again.
[b]â??Anyways if you do need to go back out there, we will help youâ?¦ but it is your call,â?[/b] Matt and his team left the room to the group. They all stood up and made a closer circle.
[b]â??I never got a chance to thank you for pulling me down twice Cowboy.â?[/b] Ally said sincerely. Cowboy patted her back, a simple 'it was nothing' action.
[b]â??Hey! I helped the first time!â?[/b] Phil interjected
[b]
â??I think we all know who was putting more force into itâ?[/b] Eun Jung speculated.
[b]
â??Psssh I am strong too! Iâ??d say I am right up there with Cowboy,â?[/b] Phil said playfully.
[b]
â??Sorry partner, but I recon I am on a tier of my own, in that department.â?[/b] he stretched his arm out motioning Ally to grab it. She hooked her fingers into a loose pull-up position and he raised her a good nine inches off the ground while flexing his bicep. He dangled her there for a moment then let her down. Cowboy felt like giving her a bit of fun, she deserved it since she was able to hold herself together even when trapped alone with that ghost. He had seen many rookies panic and give a poltergeist enough energy to take a whole building down. His whole team preformed exceptionally.
A Big smile was now in her face, [b]â?You wanna try Phil?â? [/b]
[b]
â??I might be able to pick you up, but I might also feel like chucking you like the poltergeist!â?[/b] Phil stated in a false temper. They all laughed.for or a while, but soon enough it was back to business.
[b]
â??We have a decision to make.â?[/b] Blu began,[b] â??we all know the risks of going back, and even with this help we may not have enough to deal with the task. What do you think?â?
