Meanwhile, a few blocks away from where Wesson found the Clothing store, he discovers another place from where he can get a pair of pants. "All I need is a ladder." he first thought. Then wondered if he could find a pair inside this little shop. And the sign on the window showed "Open" for business.

The countdown is on... a new year coming!
Enjoy bringing it in, and the very best to you all in 2014.
On s'éclate!!!
Better viewed large.
We're leaving together,
But still it's farewell
And maybe we'll come back,
To earth, who can tell ?
I guess there is no one to blame
We're leaving ground
Will things ever be the same again?
It's the final countdown...
We're heading for Venus and still we stand tall
Cause maybe they've seen us and welcome us all
With so many light years to go and things to be found
I'm sure that we'll all miss her so

Patty: “That was a great lunch, Charlie. I’m glad you suggested it. I don’t think I could have contributed much with an empty stomach.”
Charlie: “I know what you mean. My Smoothy Drink was way too much for me, but now I won’t be tempted to snack later.”
Marty: “I’ve been thinking about our list of judges. I know of two teachers who would just love to do this, but I was also wondering about our police chief. He likes to get involved in community affairs.”
Anita: “We might just need some police presence knowing how wild things can get.”
Patty: “What do you mean ‘wild’? We’re usually tame at parties like this.”
Marty: “I remember how someone thought they saw ghosts last year, and you could have sensed the panic. A little police presence may just keep things calm. And besides, I know Chief Lawndorder would get into this kind of thing.”
Charlie: “Would you mind asking him if he could be a judge and to provide some officers to help?”
Marty: “Sure. He’s my next-door neighbor, and I usually see him in the afternoons.”
Patty: “For some strange reason, I’m beginning to think that some police presence might just be needed this year.”
Anita: “You mean the police would give out gifts at Halloween?”
Patty: “No, Anita. Presence, like in being there, not presenTs as in gifts!”
Anita: “There I go again.”
Explored!
Mankind is creating the path to its own extinction. Unplanned development, greed, and politics are making it faster and no one is paying attention. Third world countries like Bangladesh is suffering the most, where there is hardly any control and law enforcement from the Governments side and awareness of the people is close to nothing.
A mysterious countdown starting with 7!
Stay tuned as we continue the countdown to a reveal! Don't get too excited though... it is really a boring reveal. Though I still want you to stay tuned hahaha

The new owners were busy at their front porch handing out treats to all the trick-or-treaters. "I got a King-Sized Snickers Bar!" "I got a Milky-Way." "I got a rock." "I got, surprisingly, an Oxford Comma!"
The crowd was a perfect place to find shelter from the Coroner, but needless to say, he did find the corpse of his search. Back to Area 51 for him!
"And look!" exclaimed Lugosi. "I found my pants!"
Jack and Parker are glad the evening turned out great. "We've done it again!" Parker said with a sigh of relief. "Next year, we'll have to get some upgrades on our smartphones so we can also track goblins and skeletons in addition to ghosts."
Wesson turns to Lugosi and says, "I'm glad this worked out. We got our identities back and we managed to get into a great crowd of people. I hope to see you around again."
"You will," Legosi replied. "I can't wait until next year. I hope you won't get all wrapped up in your work so you can join us."
"Don't worry," Wesson Smith shot back. "I'll be here."

The hissing sound was easily identified as a small leak in the one tire of the plane. After crashing though the trees, the tire had become stressed and by the time the Salvage Team reached the plane, the pressure had built up enough to break through a tiny scratch. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief once they knew this was the case and not some type of snake!
Heinrich and Stacy were able to make their way up to the fuselage of the plane. The top had been sheared off coming through the trees, but the cargo was intact. They found the one box with the shipment of gems, and started taking inventory of what should still be on the plane.
“I think we have them all!” Stacy exclaimed. She had checked the plane’s manifest with the cargo sheet, and every gem was there. There were also some gold coins. That was odd, as the order from Newberry was for the gems, yet the gold coins were also included.
Heinrich suggested, “Perhaps we should just take those along as well, since the crew to remove the plane won’t be as careful as we are with the small stuff. Remember, they don’t sweat the small stuff.”
Stacy began assessing a way to prepare these gems and now the gold coins for shipment back to Newberry. “I’ll need some container to get these gems to the truck. Once there, I can better wrap them and…”
Her voice froze. Heinrich, who was with her, stood motionless. There was silence in that part of the jungle. No one spoke; nothing was heard, no one or nothing even moved. Dead silence.
.....and I am nowhere near ready.
This is part of a small old toy train which I found in the attic and photographed .

The Team finally arrived at the rail station and quickly pack up the gems. In the meantime, Doc had time to upload the video he accidentally recorded. He was shocked to see and hear what he did! A pale look came upon his face as he said, “Guys, you better come and see this now that I have this uploaded.”
They all gathered around Doc and analyzed what he captured. “Looks like we’re going to Plan C,” Cliff said with a sigh of exasperation. “You know what that means.”
“Yes,” everyone said in unison with a dejected sound in their voices.
“But it will get the gems safely to Newberry,” Stacy reminded the group. “We’re in this together. We’ll get through this!” She spoke with an air of confidence, trusting her instincts that the Team would want to know for certain that the mission would end successfully.
Cliff told Marva to contact HQ and tell them they had a ‘Situation 51’. “They’ll know what that means. In the meantime, Heinrich, you know what to do.”
“Already on it,” he replied, tightening the last bolt on the shipping container. "Doc showed me earlier what he saw before you all saw it. And I kinda know you were planning to do, and I predicted right. These gems will arrive in Newberry for sure!”
The rumbling sound of a train engine could be heard in the distance as it approached the station. “Guess we best get these checked in for shipment,” Cliff said as he adjusted the paperwork on the shipping manifest. Then we head on. Everyone knew what the plan was.
Except the ghosts!
As Jeffry and Marsha arrive where the ice cream social was being held, they realized rather quickly that they were under-dressed for the occasion. It turned out that it was a costume party ice cream social, and in order to get your free ice cream cone, courtesy of the City Coffee Company, they had to be in a Halloween costume.
“Boy, I sure missed that notice in the flyer,” Jeffry sadly admitted. “Had I known this, I would have put on a costume and enjoyed a free ice cream cone.”
“Don’t beat yourself up about that,” Marsha said attempting to comfort him. “Let’s see if we can’t just buy an ice cream cone anyway, even as we are dressed like this.”
They head up to where Sally and Jamie, the two baristas were standing, and asked if they could buy an ice cream cone.
“Don’t be silly,” Sally said. “You’re in your costumes, aren’t you?” She paused a bit and then said, “You’re dressed like your back in the 1950s, ready to go on a date at the roller rink, right?” She concluded that with a wink to Jeffry whom she knew from high school as well.
“Oh, yes, of course. Right!” Jeffry stammered a bit, trying to agree with getting a free cone, even though he hadn’t ‘dressed up’ in a Halloween costume. “And would my lovely date receive one, too, please?”
Marsha blushed.
“Yes, of course,” Jamie chimed in. “We’re here tonight to have fun and not worry about a missing costume. Afterall, you two are a couple, right?”
Now Jeffry blushed.
“You could say that,” Marsha replied, “but we…”
“That’s right,” Jeffry interrupted. “We’re going to the concert together then to the dance together. So you could say we’re a ‘couple’—a couple of people going to the Halloween Homecoming events at Newbury High School.”
Marsha and Jeffry received their ice cream cones and then sat down, watching as everyone else tried to eat their cones without spilling on their costumes. “Some of them really go all out for Halloween with their outfits, don’t they?” Marsha observed.
“Yes, and there’s even one guy who does have a costume, but he’s eating something other than ice cream. It looks like a…” Jeffry squinted to see better, “a bone?”

“…and prepare them to ship back to the lab for processing. Then, we can escort them to Newberry and install them and be rid of those pesky ghosts.” Stacy was bound and determined to get these gems off the plane, into the truck, and then packaged to send by rail to their lab.
“We came through some rough territory getting to this crash site, and once those gems are packed and shipped, our job of reclaiming that shipment will be done. Then we can submit our bill and get paid.” Heinrich was looking forward to completing this task and enjoying the financial fruit of his labor. So was the rest of the Team.
Doc was checking his camera again, for something happened that doesn’t usually happen. Instead of taking still photos, he must have hit the movie function and recorded Stacy and Heinrich as they picked through the gems. “I’ll have to look at this on my computer and see what I can use. I mostly use still shots, and rarely do I do filming. It’s not my style and I don’t know much about how to do it.”
Marva got on the radio. “Salvage Team 6 to Station A. Come in Rachel.”
There was brief static on the radio and then total silence. It would seem that the radio’s battery had died. But the indicator showed 90% power. “Salvage Team 6 to Station A. Come in Rachel. Urgent.” Marva tried one more time.
Static resumed. Then there was a faint reply. “Station A to Salvage Team 6. Go ahead.” But it didn’t sound like Rachel. The voice was lower and more like a man’s voice than a woman’s voice. Everyone who overheard the message stood still with ashen faces. They couldn’t believe the change from yesterday when Rachel’s voice came through loud and clear. What could possibly have gone awry with the radio transmission today? And at this critical time when they needed to schedule the train pick up?
“Rachel, is that you?” Marva said, hoping that Rachel would reply in her usual voice.
Thank you for taking the time to comment, award and/or critique my work, I truly appreciate each and every one!
Thank you and I hope you enjoy your day!

I shot a big chunk of the remaining scenes of F2K, Vol. 4 today (yesterday). Gotta love Saturday...
I've got a handful of shots I still have to do and then it's all over. There's only about a week and a half left of Vol. 4 to go. I'm kind of sad to see it end but happy at the same time. It's been a fun ride these last few months, hope y'all have had fun as well :-)
