Good Will Ghost Hunting: Hell's Bells [Good Will Ghost Hunting 2] (Siren Publishing Classic) by Tymber Dalton Page A

Ryan. He didn’t understand why Kal liked him either, especially after she knew Ryan was behind engineering everything that happened to her.
    Maybe it was best he didn’t understand.
    He reclined the car seat to wait until he could go in to be with her.

    Twenty minutes later, Kal called Will’s cell on the pretext of finding out where he was and ducked out to meet him. They stood outside the ER entrance while Kal relaxed in his arms. She hated being away from him for extended lengths of time, and with her stress levels through the roof this was practically killing her. After forty-five minutes, Will locked the car and made his way inside. Hopefully her parents were too out of it to notice the time discrepancy in his arrival.
    Laura hugged him immediately. The Reverend’s eyes were closed, but opened when Will leaned over his bed and patted his shoulder. “How are you, sir?”
    He nodded. “Been better. Want to get out of here and go home.”
    Kal chimed in. “Daddy, you aren’t going anywhere until they figure out what’s wrong.”
    Still waiting for reports, the attending ER doctor admitted him and the three followed his gurney as he was transported to a private room upstairs. When the doctor walked in another long hour later, Will immediately knew from the look on the doctor’s face that he was about to share the bad news that Ryan had already shared with him regarding what was wrong with Kal’s father.
    Kal’s hand tightened in Will’s. He pulled her onto his lap, his arms around her waist. She’d been flighty, pacing. He was worried she’d work herself into a nervous faint at this rate. She relaxed in his arms as she felt his power flow through her body.
    “I don’t have a definitive answer for you yet, Reverend Martin,” the doctor said. “We’ve got you scheduled for an MRI as soon as the machine is free.”
    Will tried to search the doctor’s mind. Either the doctor was too strong or too much of his own energy was diverted to keeping Kal calm. He was never as good at reading people as Aidan, Ryan, and Purs were, not to mention he was still out of practice at it. Unfortunately, Will knew what Ryan had seen that night at the “Ohio S hoot I ncident.” At least she’d been able to enjoy the time she’d had with her father.
    Laura’s face paled. Will reached over and took her hand, diverting some of his calming energy from Kal to her mom.
    “What does that mean?” Laura asked the doctor. “Why an MRI?”
    “We’ve ruled out a stroke, and we’ve ruled out a problem with his blood sugar. There were some unusual indications in the results from the blood tests that I want to follow up before I pose any theories. It could be a wide variety of causes, including many very insignificant ones.”
    Laura’s hand tightened on Will’s. “What will the MRI tell us?”
    “We want to find out what’s causing these headaches. It could be related to why he fainted, or it might not. It’s the best way to proceed at this time.”
    He was lying, Will finally saw it. The doctor already had a good idea what was wrong, but was holding back on a final opinion until he saw the MRI scan and brought in an oncologist for the consult.
    The Reverend spoke up. “When do I get that?”
    “They’ll come get you soon. There’s another patient in there right now, and we only have the one machine. I’d rather do that than do a CT scan and have to send you back for an MRI later.”
    The doctor left. Will watched Laura stare at Kenneth. He suspected. Kal was still in too much shock to put it together.
    Reverend Martin looked at Will, met his gaze. “Girls, I’d like to talk to Will for a moment. Alone.”
    This was new.
    The women nervously exchanged glances. Will patted Kal’s thigh. “Why don’t you and your mom go find us some coffee?”
    Kal nodded and left with her mom. Will moved to Laura’s chair next to the bed.
    The Reverend’s eyes bored into his. “I don’t know what that guy did to
