First, he points to several video cameras positioned around the room. "These are motion activated and will capture anything that moves, including interactions by spirits."

He redirects to several pieces of equipment on a nearby table. I recognize more than one of them. Pointing to the thermal scanner, I say, "You don't need to explain that one. I have one back at my apartment. It helps Holden and Zara know when a ghost is hanging around."

Agent Morton looks extremely pleased by this and moves on to the EVP and EMF. "I'm going to assume you're somewhat familiar with these as well, correct?"

I nod. "EVP is for capturing sounds, EMF for electromagnetic fields. I've read about them, but never really needed them, since, you know, I already know where the ghosts are."

Agent Morton laughs. "Yes, I suppose that would cancel out the need for either one."

He glances over at Malachi, who seems to be studying the different devices intently. I wasn't disappointed that Agent Morton said I could bring Malachi along, but I am still curious why he invited him. I can only assume it has to do with his great grandmother. Malachi just received the message, though, so I'm not sure.

Morton points to the last device on the table and continues explaining. "This is just a highly sensitive motion detector. We have several set up to monitor the space around you to capture any movement not made by you or any of us." He takes his attention away from the table and its toys and turns back to me. "That's all I have planned for today. I know the move was probably stressful, and I don't want to push you too far today. Perhaps once you've had a chance to settle in, I'll bring you back in for some of the medical tests we discussed."

"Medical tests?" Malachi asks, his eyes narrowing.

I put a hand on his forearm, though it's nice to know he's ready to go to bat for me. "Just some scans and bloodwork and stuff. To see if they can pinpoint anything physical that makes me such a weirdo."

 Agent Morton looks extremely pleased by this and moves on to the EVP and EMF. " I'm start to assume you're somewhat familiar with these as well, right? " 

 I nod. " EVP is for capturing sound, EMF for electromagnetic fields. I've read about them, but never really need them, since, you know, I already know where the ghosts are. "

 He glances over at Malachi, who seems to be studying the different devices intently. I wasn't disappointed that Agent Morton said I could bring Malachi along, but I am still curious why he invited him. I can merely assume it has to dress with his big grandmother.

 " Medical tests? " Malachi asks, his eye narrowing. 

 I frame a hand on his forearm, though it's courteous to know he's ready to belong to bat for me. " merely some scans and bloodwork and material. To see if they can pinpoint anything physical that makes me such a weirdo. "
