We couldn't hear much and what we heard was boring, so we took off back down the street.. running and giggling about being able to spy on our mother and her friend. All of the sudden bonnie came to a halt! Out of the corner of Bonnie's eye she spotted something dark flapping around on another neighbors lawn..
She gasped. "Linda look at this", "what is it?" I said back.

Her voice had excitement as she came closer for inspection I could hear her gasp again.. "Oh my God she said, I think it's a bat!" she was all too excited with her find..
A bat I thought how spooky to find one days before Halloween.. I knew the stories about rabies and bats, I was cautious about approaching any closer letting Bonnie do what she does best, rescue hurt weird animals..

I got was afraid of it, I worried but not letting on to Bonnie how scared I was..

Oh no way I thought, I'm out of here. SO I took off outside where i was safe from the latent vampire..
