(The following is brought to you by Shar and Art for your entertainment.)

It was a rush effort the last couple of hours after job hunting to get ready to go. Tess had put gas in the XTerra for Logan, so when she got home she darted to her room to have some boyfriend lovin' time before showering and doing the girly grooming thing, effectively annoying the crap out of both her brother (for hogging the bathroom) and father (because he had to listen to Shawn bitch about it. She let him have the bathroom and then spent another 45 minutes trying to decide what to wear (didn't help that Logan kept suggesting 'nothing' and nuzzling her shoulders and neck with his face. Oh God, no, can't do this again. . .

She sent Logan outside to wait ahead of her, and heard Shawn go downstairs shortly after, settled on a sky blue camisole and khaki capris, darted down the stairs to leave and stopped in the kitchen to steal a bite of Henry's bagel and a sip of his coffee, kissed his cheek.

"'kay daddy, we're leavin', be home in a while."

Henry made a noise of acknowledgment and looked up to nod to her, looked back at his paper and then his head snapped up again. "What the hell do you have on? Tesla, it's freaking October for God's sakes, put on a jacket, cover yourself."

"Dad," Slid her sunglasses on, making a face. "It's October in California. I'm fine, let it go. Logan will do a very nice job of keeping all the creeps off of me."

Henry stood without a word, stormed to grab her jacket from the steps and Tess darted out the front door, with him on her tail. She hurried down the steps of the porch making a run for the XTerra. "Get in! Get in! We have to get away from. . .Are they not here yet!" Henry was gaining speed on her and she groaned, running off across the street toward the beach. "DAD KNOCK IT OFF!"

And with the grace of a stoned monkey, Henry tackled his teenage daughter feet away from the sand in the gravel, straddled her and yanked the jacket onto her arms, sat her up to adjust it on her and brushed the dirt off of her pants. Kissed her forehead. "Be home by 1, honey."

And he went back to the house like nothing had happened. Tess sat in the gravel, staring, mortified that her boyfriend, brother and Gus had had the pleasure of watching that debacle. Stood slowly to walk over but paused before reaching Logan, saw Rene's car pulling up. Made the saddest babyface that she could in her direction, and it probably helped that he honestly was five seconds away from crying.

Gus immediately busied himself in a comic book.

Rene slid over on a bump, catching herself between Gus and the drivers seat. She glared at him as Gus helped her back into sitting on Mark's lap. Pushing her foot against Tess's seat, she leaned against him and wrapped his arms around her waist. "I think we'd both enjoy the ride more if Lolo kept trying to knock me into Gus's lap." She stuck out her tongue to the front of the car.

Shawn was too busy brooding, lost in thought to notice the insanity that Logan was causing with his erratic driving.

He was completely miserable, and he had no clue how to fix anything. He thought he probably should talk to someone and get some advice or at least methods of distraction, but all the people he'd talk to were exactly the people he COULDN'T talk to. Rock? Meet Hard Place.

So he did the only thing he could think of, he tried to distance himself from the insanity, so he wouldn't, at least, ruin everyone's fun.

Logan caught a flash of Rene's tongue in the rear view, raised an eyebrow at her. "I saw that, Mygie. You guys wanna ride home you'll have to treat the driver with some respect." He was grinning, though, gave a look to Tess. Maybe this wouldn't be so fucking hard after all. But he did ease off the sharp turns, turned the music up a bit more when In Da Club came up.

We're gonna drink Bacardi like it's your birthday

Pulled to a stop in the parking lot to the haunted house, threw a triumphant look to Mygie when she stepped out. Recorded sounds of screams, organ music and rattling chains filled the air, and Logan grabbed Tess from behind, lifting her slightly. "Watch it ladies, the chain saw guy is looking for fresh meat."

Mark slipped out after Myrene and, as he did so, smirked playfully at Logan. "One day you'll need a ride somewhere, man. And then there will be sweet, sweet vengeance." He stuck around near Myrene after getting out of the car and laughed at Logan's display. Both hands slid into his pockets as he carefully cased the place. To the others it would look like he was just glancing at the place. He hadn't pissed off any sorcerers, at least not recently, but he wanted to be sure there weren't any recognizable faces around the place. Nothing, nothing, nothing...and a lot of nothing! Awesome. Maybe I'll actually be able to keep my secret identity a secret for more than a month.

Tess squealed, leaning back into Logan, letting her legs go straight as he held her up a moment, so when he set her down her feet touched the ground in walking position. "You're going to have to defend your lady then, buster. One less piece of ass you get if the chain saw guy gets me." Turned to peck his lips but turned back to hold his arms around her as they walked.

Gus stayed toward the back of the group- easy exit strategy, swallowing hard past a nervous lump in his throat. Oh, but this bet with Myrene was soooo on! He was Fearless Guster and he'd be goddamned if the chainsaw guy or the pop out of the walls guys or. . .all the other guys were going to scare him even a bit.

"Thank you, God!" Rene smiled and shook her head at Logan, thrilled to be out of his SUV. She slid her arm around Mark's and tugged lightly, putting on her most innocent face, "Mark, if any chainsaw guys come after me, you'll protect me right?" She batted her eyes at him, then looked around. Spotting Severus, she waved and called out to him, motioning for him to join them.

Shawn stepped out of the car and hung back at the edge of the group. He did notice that Mark guy seemed awfully nervous about something. The way his body tensed up and his eyes darted around were suspicious to Shawn's detective trained mind. As much as he hated the idea, he was beginning to think that maybe he should be keeping an eye on the guy. Which would REALLY freakin suck.

Logan, after seeing that Mygie had easy access to a handy bicep, kept his arms around Tess as they entered the maze. He wasn't too concerned about being freaked, and went a long with the flow of it, jumping when appropriate. Mostly he used Tess' inadvertent jumps and squeals to his advantage, grabbing her, hugging her, stealing the occasional kiss.

He kept an eye on Rene, made sure Mark was playing the attentive protector, and also noticed how Shawn was hanging back. Gus was leading the way, eager to be out. Logan grinned, fended off a doctor in blood soaked scrubs holding the world's biggest hypodermic, and copped a feel as Tess jumped into his arms again.

Mark laughed and gave Rene's arm an affectionate squeeze. "'Course I will. I'll fulfill my slasher movie duty by making a clever quip, punching him in the face, and then being shredded so you have time to run up the stairs instead of to the front door." Oh, the horror movie jokes. They burned. At least he didn't make the leather face pun.

He didn't seem to notice Shawn noticing him. He'd never really dealt with someone with such finely honed skills, so he wasn't really hiding every minute detail of what he was doing. It was enough to fool pretty much everyone, but not quite good enough to fool those with exceptional skills in certain regards.

As it happened, Mark never seemed startled when things jumped out. Almost like he'd been able to hear the people lurking in wait before they jumped out...which he had. He didn't even flinch when things happened. He played along, of course, but his reactions were always perhaps a half-second off.

Granted, the entire point of going was to take one's significant other and climb all over them. She wasn't so easily spooked by this sort of thing, but it was fun to leap up into Logan's arm and give a yelp, she giggled whenever he stole a kiss or caress or he goosed her for the hell of it, and she got a few kisses and squeezes out of him as well. She hadn't been paying much attention to anyone else but turned at one point, immediately picking up how in tune Shawn was being, and noticed Mark's delayed reactions, her gaze lingered on him a moment and in her head, she rewinded to the parking lot. Hmmm. Looked like Shawn had keeping an eye on him under control, but she was definitely intrigued. Turned her attention back to her boyfriend.

Gus was doing okay, and he was pretty damn proud. That's when an old Medieval axe thingy dropped from the ceiling, seemingly right above his head, and he darted for the end, smacking into walls on his, shrieking in terror, sure someone had paid someone so that would happen.

[Tag Sev in after this before Rene, I wanted to throw something in before I went to work so I didn't hold you guys up waiting on me for three hours]

Sev still didn't see the point to the whole thing, it wasn't real. The numerous monsters, vampires, werewolves, axe wielding deformed humans, mummies, and general undead, jumping out at them just couldn't compare to the real thing. Maybe it was the thick layer of make-up they all wore, or the heavy smell of plastic and gasoline coming from the smoke, whatever it was, it just wasn't doing it for him. And he wasn't even going to fake a scream. He did however take a step back when the axe dropped out of the ceiling, not from fright, but rather to step back from the screaming Gus.

But in all he was having fun, which was the one thing that did mildly shock him, having never been 'one of the crowd' types. Sure Shawn was an awfully quiet person, never mind that that was exactly what Sev was doing himself, and Mark seemed... well he didn't know what Mark seemed; but everyone seemed okay with him being there, and the shit that kept coming out of Logan's mouth was enough to keep his attention.

	Rene jumped back from the man with the giant hypodermic needle when she heard Gus shriek and run. She broke into a grin and shouted after him "I WIN!!!!" She hugged Mark, and practically danced through the rest of the Haunted House. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

To be honest, Shawn was far more interested in Mark at this point than the public embarrassment of his best friend.

Something was... off with the guy. He was faking surprise. What kind of person fakes surprise? Faking fear is one thing, that's usually to mock other people who really are afraid, but surprise? Why bother faking an instinct? A reaction?

It was a puzzle, and he'd had enough training at this point to not be able to let the puzzle go, so as much as he hated the idea, he stuck closer to Rene and Mark. At least the puzzle would take his mind off of... other things...
