Molly felt a presence come beside her and turned to look. It was Shaun; she couldn’t help but smile because she knew her team had to be as excited as her about all of this. If not, she was probably excited enough for all of them. At his question, her smile dimmed a bit. Well, yeah, she was. Not as much as she thought she’d be.
It’s just, she always did this type of stuff with her father. He was always right there, lending a hand. And when he wasn’t, she was never in the lead. She could be considered the leader in this whole thing, considering she brought them all together. She enjoyed leadership roles, thrived in them, but this was a real job. She had never been on an actual paranormal job without her father. It was an odd feeling, nerve-wrecking, but something that excited her more than anything.
Her smile didn’t stay dim for long but before she could speak, Jackie, their newest member, was speaking up. Actually, she hadn’t personally met him and briefly turned her attention to him. “Yes, I am,” she said with a kind smile, taking his hand and giving it a firm shake. “It’s great to meet you, Jackie; I have a feeling you’re going to do well here.” She was so giddy, she felt like she could keep talking but she managed to stop before she started a ramble or something as stupid and embarrassing.
She let out a slight chuckle at Cassie’s exclamation. She had a feeling her and Cassie were going to get along really well. She flashed the other girl a smile before looking towards Shaun. “Don’t worry. I’m a bit nervous too but like Jackie said, this’ll be straightforward. You aren’t alone though,” she told him, briefly squeezing his arm in a reassuring gesture before she followed after Karen.
Naturally, Molly took the first elevator up. She wanted to ride with the older woman, in case she had anything more to say. Elevator rides were weird-feeling but her excitement only increased as the elevator slowly rose to floor 12. She gladly followed Karen, drinking in all her surroundings, all the details. This was so great. Being the nearest person, she took the room key and slipped inside the room. It was a very nice hotel room, obviously well cleaned and taken care of. She didn’t expect anything less of this place, though.
Of course she knew the history of ghosts in the hotel. Research was, of course, done when she got the call for the job. She had heard about this place, beforehand, anyway. Her father had talked about it but he had never investigated in it before. He had wanted too and Molly wished he knew where she was. She listened to the stories like she had never heard them before though, soaking them in and enjoying the tales. The new ghost, though, made her nervousness grow just the slightest. Not much but it was a small spike. She had been scratched before when she went on hunts with her father. It only happened two times and they never hurt too badly so it didn’t turn her off from it. Actually, it increased her passion, for some odd reason. She had never been pushed. Touched, sure, but pushing wasn’t something she had experienced.
She took the second room card with a sympathetic smile. “We’ll try our best, ma’am,” she told her softly before watching her leave. She turned to her team, clapping her hands together the best she could, considering she was holding the room cards. “So, how excited are you all?” she asked, handing the nearest guy one of the room cards, considering Cassie and her got their own room.
