Nathan had hoped he could postpone any raccoon hunting until tomorrow, but Alex pushed an honest to god raccoon trap into his hands after dinner before he could try and slip off to his room.

The attic was definitely the last place Alex had thought to renovate. It was dusty, filled with boxes and other storage, and had only one overhead light which was a bare bulb activated by a string. For a brief moment, Nathan wished Walter was with him so he could have his Spirit Guide scout ahead.
