Are you okay? And he slowly comes through like he was possibly sleepwalking He was possibly sleepwalking and talking in his sleep. He's like what baby? She's like papa. What are you okay? He said yeah, why I'm on the bed like this when I'm on the other side of the bed She said what do you mean beware of the NOA and he looks all dazed and confused He's he doesn't know what she's referring to and she kind of shakes him She's like papa. What do you mean beware of the NOA? He's like, oh baby. I'm an old man I don't remember what I said So she's like, okay. No, no, no sound effect. She's like, okay She puts him back to bed and a couple of minutes later. She goes is off to sleep So Mina does this off and on for about two or three weeks Out of the blue Quentin calls her because you know, he stood her up I don't you know, he sent her a text message and was basically like I can't meet you at the lounge Yeah, this lighting is so bad back here. Sorry. I Don't know what's going on He calls her up and he's like hey Mina. I just want to first of all, I want to say that I'm Apologizing for the other night and that's when she like cuts him up. She's like the other night It's been several weeks since that happened and I you know, it is what it is I've moved on and you know, it's not like we're seriously dating. He's like, okay, but I want to make it up to you And she's like she pauses. She's like I'm listening. He's like well I want to invite you out to my place for dinner and She kind of thought about it. She's up to your place. He's like, yeah, um, I live at the peach What can we name it? Oh I live off of peak view road at the old peach mansion and she's like the peach man's mansion I didn't know people still lived out there and he's like, yeah Well, it's a long story, but I really would like to cook dinner for you, you know If you're free next week, she kind of hesitated, but she's like, you know what classes are over It was a good semester things are going well for grandparents. Why not? Why not? She's like, okay, I I'll I'll come by just you know, I just don't want to be out late at night I've been out in that area in years and truth be told Mina hasn't been what is it peach peach peaches Jamie JVD Mina hasn't been off of peak view road since high school because there was all these scary stories about that area It's full of peach trees. That's why they call the house the peach tree so You know peak view road, okay, baby so fast forward the night comes to where she used to be there at the peach tree house or whatever and She notices that all the houses that she remembers seeing they're growing up are all gone You know, they they've been taken away. They they were shacks then and so they've already torn all those houses out But the big mansion that's there is still there and that's apparently where Quentin is that she's like Is he renting this what's going on because he said, you know, I'm staying there. So, okay So she sees him out there There's his big wrapping around porch and he's waving at her to come come drive up, you know, the the driveway So she parks her car and gets out and she noticed that he's dressed very, you know, casual She feels like she's overdressed. She has on a really cute summer dress with heels and she's like Yeah, I know I told you but I'm not I gotta tell them but I changed up the story for us And it's we're gonna get there. So Mina shows up and he's like, so you were okay. You didn't have any problems finding the place She's like, oh, like I said, I remember coming out here in high school I remember exactly where it's that but I just haven't been out here in years So they walk in and she notices a big stairway when she goes in a big wraparound story Stairway, excuse me. And she's like this house is absolutely beautiful. How are you able to? It's none of my business, but how are you able to rent this and he's like, well, I Actually have a secret. This was my great-grandparents place that they will to me She's like, wow that this is amazing that you were able to care for this house all these years And he's like, well, I recently just moved back like I said this summer But yeah before then I had people who were taking care of the place. Okay, so is that so They eventually they sit down have a conversation They eventually have a very nice dinner and she's like while pointing you can really burn You can really throw down in the kitchen. He's like, well, that's another I have to admit I actually hired a chef to make this. I don't know how to cook. She's like, that's okay Boy, yeah, she was like, I didn't cook this. I heard a chef. She's like, well, that's okay It's a thought that counts. So they had a great conversation and he says, you know what I would like to, you know Meet with you again. I mean, I would like to hang out again. She's like, yeah I now that my grandparents are doing okay. And that's when she noticed that Quinton kind of looked at her How are your grandparents doing? And she's like, they're doing well. He's like, yeah So he asked her how is Mrs. Bernie and she's like Bernie is doing good Bernie is her grandmother name And then that's what she was like, wait a minute. How did you know that my grandmother's name? We call her Bernie and he kind of looks at her and he's like, you never I thought you told me that her big Because well, that's that's her nickname But her grandmother name was Bernadette Bernadette, but her friends call her Bernie and she calls her big mama because it's her grandmother but Quinton referred to her as Bernie her nickname and so Meena was like, how did you know that we call her Bernie? I don't think I I don't recollect if we're telling you that was her name. He's like, are you sure? She's like, yeah, I'm pretty sure and so he's like look He's like look me now. I'm not trying to start any trouble or Bring up anything but I just want you to know that your grandparents aren't who you think they are and she's like excuse me Is that why you really call me out here to have a date is to basically talk about my grandparents He's like, no, it's not like that. All I'm saying is that you just got to be careful He's like, yeah So if you see anything in the old newspapers or any I will start there And she thought about all of that old documentation and photos that she caught her grandmother Burning and she's like, okay. She doesn't tell she doesn't tell Quinton that but she thinks to herself Okay, I'll keep that in mind. So now every week Meena makes it she makes sure to go over to her grandparents house to have dinner She makes you to go over to there. Now. She suddenly remembered though that she had stolen a Remember she suddenly remembers that she has stolen a bunch of the photos and Documents and hit them under her bed when her grandmother was burning all that stuff So she went to the old that old area. She looked them in the bed. Everything was missing. It wasn't there At this point mean it's like I'm tired. I'm tired of people lying to me I need to know the truth. So she approaches her grandmother. She's like big mama Um, remember that night a couple of months ago when you were burning those old photos and stuff. She's like, yeah, she's like well I Need to know what happened to those documents. She's like, why do you care? She's like, well, I need to know, you know Why would you burning that stuff? Her grandmother let out a long slot side. She's like and then her grandmother says it was it was all an accident And she's like what was an accident? She's like well There was these rumors. This is her grandmother. There was these rumors of there being There was this rumors of there being some lost jewels on the Wilson plantation and years ago Me and your your granddad decide to go up there and look for it And you know, we came across all of this stuff and we really didn't find anything and that's really what happened She knew that her grandmother was not telling her everything. So she goes to work the next day She sees mr. Joe And she said mr. Joe Can I take can I speak to you for a second? He's like, yeah, baby. What do you want? She's like well, I was talking to my grandmother the other day and She mentioned a couple of years ago Like I guess it would have been 30 years by now how her and my granddad were on this plantation looking for lost jewels That's when she noticed mr. Joe looking kind of nervous. He's like, I don't know nothing about that She's like, well, I'm just saying like have you ever heard about there being lost jewels on the plantation? He's like, no, baby. I I got stuff to do, you know, I can talk with you later on So mr. Joe runs off and she noticed that he was acting real suspect real nervous. Why wasn't he? So Mina let's slide child Mina's letting a lot of stuff slide, right? It continues on she she Um calls Quentin up and she said you know what I want to apologize for how I acted the other day I ended up speaking to my grandmother and she She acted like she had something to hide Is there anything that you want to tell me and the phone was silent and that's when Quentin said just know That your grandparents are not telling you the truth and that's all I can say right now And he just hangs up the phone child. I y'all like a couple of more weeks and she finally, you know meets up with Quentin again and She'd be okay, but she meets up with Quentin again And this time while they're out her grandmother calls her and she's like baby Can you come by the house your grandfather's having one of one of his spells? So she asked Quentin. She's like, you know, I'm sorry. I need to go by my grandparents house And he's like We're getting there we're getting to the truth the grandma's gonna tell the truth She gonna have to tell the truth. She'll set her free. So Quentin drives them over to the grandparents house and When the grandmother opens up the door, she looks at Quentin She looks at Quentin like she's seen a ghost And she's like, hey, is this your is this your little friend? That's what old people call the elderly referred to your significant other if you're not married And she's like, yeah, grandma. This is who I've been telling you about this is Quentin Quentin goes up It's nice to meet you. Mrs. Bernie. Mrs. Bernie again, Mrs. Bernie. And so Quentin sits in the living room. I mean about JB stop Quentin sits in the living room I mean a father follows her grandmother into her Her grandparents house and there is her grandfather there lashing out crying and He yeah and mean it's like grandfather. Are you okay? Mina's like What is going on and that's when she sees Quentin in the doorway? He's like, oh, you guys okay? And the grandmother turns around and says you shouldn't be in here. This is family and so Mina says, I'm sorry Quentin. Just go back in the living room. I'll be there in a minute. And so That's when her grandfather got up And saw Quentin and he kind of calmed down when he saw Quentin And then Quentin reached over to the grandfather and said, um, are you okay, sir? Are you is there anything you can do? Is there anything you need for me to do? And that's what Mina's grandmother again was like, you need to get out of here. This is family business We don't need your help. And that's what Mina was like, but big mama, he's not trying to do anything He just wants to help you. Is everything okay? And so her grandmother sits down in the recliner. She's like, I'm just so tired I'm tired of this And Mina looks at her grandmother all concerned and she's like, what what's been going on all so long What is the problem big mama? Why don't you tell me the truth? and that's when Quentin says I think I think you should finally tell her what's going on So Quentin says Mina and I think this is a time that I should let you know what's really been going on with me too So he turns around. He said look I didn't want to tell you at the time because I thought this would just be a hot buy thing I didn't realize that I would develop feelings for you and we would be dating But the truth is not only am I a historian professor, but I'm also a p.i I was hired by the family of larry larry coughman the old caretaker of the wilson plantation to investigate his death That's when the grandmother looked at Um, Mina and said I knew I knew this would come up and she's like what is going on again This is what she's thinking. This is what Mina is thinking And so um Quentin says ma'am there's nothing to be ashamed of we just need to know the truth What happened to larry coughman? Mina could see that she's silently crying and she's like, okay I'll let you know I'll let you know what happened to larry, but just know that this was all an accident so Mina's grandmother goes to tell this story Larry is the old caretaker. Remember that mysteriously disappeared So Mina goes on to tell this story that occurred about 30 40 years ago They thought that there was these jewels and this money on the wilson plantation So at the time her and her husband her grandparents and the caretaker now joe Went searching on the plantation late at night when there was no one there supposedly they were basically trespassing j.b They weren't supposed to be there. So um while they were there looking Yeah, they were trespassing and they weren't supposed to be on the plantation after hours So but they had been checking it out for weeks and they didn't think anybody was there, right? But this particular night the old caretaker mr. Larry coughman decided to spend the night So while they're looking around going upstairs going everywhere They run into the caretaker And Mina's grandmother pushed him down the stairs And he fell down the stairs and he hit his head on the last dirt way and he he was dead um They didn't know what to do The oak the caretaker before joe mr. Joe Mina's grandmother pushed that caretaker down the the old caretaker down the stairs He hit his head at the bottom of the steps and he died. He died instantly. So um Joe Didn't want to go back to prison because he had just gotten out You know, even though this was 30 years ago. He had been back in prison. He didn't want to go back and and her grandfather had had um issues with the police back then too and so um The grandmother was saying it was an accident Which is an accident Why don't we just go to the cops and tell them it was an accident now the old caretaker jb Just so happened to be white too joe was convinced the grandparents is like nobody's going to believe three black people Accidentally push a white man down the stairs not in savannah, georgia. You know not in the south They're not going to believe that so they decided to put mr. Kaufman's body and the well And they covered it up and they vowed never to say anything or tell anyone, okay of They came up the story of mr. Joe Who immediately came in and was the new caretaker and people just assumed that Larry just ran off but the family always assumed that something drastic happened to him on the plantation and so Mina begs begs begs quentin to not tell anyone To not say anything and he thinks about it. He's like, you know what? I'ma give y'all to the next morning to decide what you're gonna do But eventually I do need to go to the police And so yeah, so me and it's like, oh my god So me no racist to the wilson, um plantation and she confronts mr. Joe. She said mr. Joe My grandmother just told me what happened all those years ago and he's like, I knew this would happen I knew that this would come up one day So he says baby, I've been knowing your grandparents for years and I love you like you're my own child And I couldn't imagine having to go away and having my own child. He said, you know what? It was my idea to come up here to search for the um for those jewels and even though your grandmother This is mr. Joe. This is mr. Joe. He's telling he's telling Mina, you know It was it was his idea to come up there And you know search for those jewels and it was just an accident. He said so, you know what? I'm an old man I don't have any family I don't have a you know, I don't have any kids. I'm okay I can go back to the pen. I'll be fine. And so mr. Joe decides to take he decides to take the um the fall for everyone so Mina calls quentin and she tells him what they're going to do and um Quentin calls the cops the cops come they all rush up there mr. Joe is already they're waiting Okay, they're waiting and they get equipment to go down to the oh well and sure enough they pull up the remains of um Mr. Larry Kauffman chow Ms. Juanita is on the front porch and she faints when she sees the remains because there's hardly nothing there It's bones at this point. It's been 30 plus years. So there's there's literally like bones at miss. Juanina. I'm fading on the porch Joe was like it was an accident, but I'll I'll take it like what? Huh on the porch of what on the porch of the big house miss Juanita was out there with her nosy stuff No one that she can't handle nothing child and when she saw the body of mr. Larry Kauffman she fanned so Joe unfortunately goes to trial it is the most I mean a grandmother Attends the trial and as Joe was being led out by the police she mouses She mouths the word thank you and he just shakes his head at her to not that he understood Because he was basically taking the fall for her grandmother, you know, because the grandmother had pushed That man down the stairs. And so anyway Time goes by mr. Joe ends up getting released after a couple of years. So now I'm gonna tell you the end end story missy joe, um And yeah, that is the end of the story y'all joe continues to serve time for a crime He really didn't commit for the love of her of her grandmother really So, um, but the t is is that joe The caretaker the caretaker kind of had a thing for miss bernie. So that's the real reason I don't want to say that right here But that's the real reason why he took the fall for miss bernie because he really loved he was really in love with her So y'all that is it. Um, Mina ends up finishing school. Well, she gets a job there locally at a law firm Quentin decides to stay there locally. He doesn't go back one one because he has feelings for her. They start dating exclusively um Mina wasn't sure at first But she continues to date him one because she wants to keep an eye on him and make sure he doesn't run her mouth His mouth, excuse me, by her grandparents and two because she really is like like him So they start hanging on dating more every now and then they do a double date with courtney hasten Right. No, she doesn't call him like participates They have a double date with quentin And that was and that is it you guys. I hope y'all enjoyed this story time end of scary You want that that it doesn't have to be scary all the time jay b And that is the end you guys I will tell you a preview of another storyline. I've been thinking about jay b You want to talk about it now? Yes So in this story there is a woman that is on her way to a doctor's appointment and So another story series. It's gonna be a series, but I'm gonna give them a preview. I'm not gonna tell you everything You're gonna just get a snippet Not east texas. So this girl lives out in east texas. We're gonna choose one tyler tyler I don't know three people. So this girl lives out in tyler. She has a doctor's appointment and Before she gets there she gets a voicemail that's from the from the office that says hey Just to let you know we see you have a nine o'clock for doctor so-and-so The um officers have moved to the old part of the hospital. So the New report that you use to everything is shut down. Cool. So this girl is krissy krissy from tyler Krissy shows up to the building and sure enough she sees that they're doing construction And she tries to go to every entryway. She could think up and she still cannot get in the hospital She finally calls the doctor's office and they say yeah, we in the old part of the hospital The old psych ward part the old psych ward So she's like, okay. Um, I think I see the signs So she says, okay. I think I see the signs So as she's walking towards the entryway, she looks up this hospital has five flights on the fourth flight she see a little girl in the um The blinds are moving back and forth and then she sees an image of a little girl She see a little girl in a pretty little dress floral dress and she looks kind of sad And so the the little girl sees her and so krissy waves up and smiles in way better But the little girl doesn't wave back. So anyway, she makes her way to the doctor's office She checks in has an appointment everything went goes well But when she done krissy casually mentions to the uh outtake coordinator of her whatever the receptionist She's like, I thought y'all say this y'all were doing construction on everything and The ladies say, yeah, the floors are completely shut off from the floors three to five are completely blocked off for construction And krissy thought that was odd. She's like, I'm pretty sure I saw a little girl on the fourth floor And the lady said that's not possible. The elevators don't even go up that way anymore and the stairways are all blocked off Krissy's like, okay. Thank you. She gets her card for her next appointment and walks out and she's like, that's very odd I know I'm not hallucinating. I saw a little girl on the fourth floor So she heads towards the stairway.
