Tim lies quietly beside Adam, staring at the wall. The room is quiet except for Adam's soft snores. He wants so much to sleep also, but honestly he was scared. McGriff has made him scared to sleep.

He starts to think of the old movie 'Nightmare On Elm Street', how Freddie Kruger would come to people in their sleep and kill them. He use to believe it was impossible, but now he wasn't all that sure.

He slowly gets out of bed, careful not to wake Adam. Rubbing his tired eyes, he walks out on the balcony. The warm ocean breeze gently caressing his face. He walks up to the railing and stares out at the horizon. The night skies becoming lighter as it gives way to the soon to be rising sun.

He watches the early morning joggers as they happily run along the beach. A few people out walking their dogs. People without a care in the world. Enjoying life.

"Where did it all go wrong?" He mumbles to himself as he lit a cigarette. "Was it just not meant for me to live a normal, happy life?"

"Good morning, Baby." Adam says softly from the balcony's door, causing Tim to jump and look around.

"Good morning." He saying giving a tired smile.

"How long have you been up?" Adam says, walking up behind Tim sliding his arms around his waist and kissing him lightly on the shoulder.

"I haven't even been to sleep." Tim says softly as his gaze returns to the sun as it begins to rise lazily over the ocean.

Adam takes Tim by the shoulders, turning him around to look into his tired blood shot brown eyes.

"Tim, don't let him do this to you. Please." Adam says almost in a whisper.

Tim shallows hard and lowers his eyes away from Adam's staring blue eyes.  He quickly reaches up and wipes a tear away before it had time to fall. "He already has." He whispers.

There was a soft knock on the door and Avi slowly opens the door to peek in. In his hands were the bags with Tim's and Adam's clothes.

"I was just checking to see if you were up yet. You might need these." He only smiles slightly, noticing Tim's strange behavior, as the hitman quickly turns back toward the ocean.

"Uh, yea. We might need those." Adam chuckles lightly and walks back into the room.

"Is everything alright?" Avi whispers as Adam got closer.

Adam shakes his head. "McGriff."

"Oh God. I thought we were done with all this." Avi whispers.

"I did too." Adam sighs, glancing around at Tim on the balcony, smoking a cigarette. "But apparently, McGriff isn't done yet. I don't know what to do to help him. He can't do this alone, Avi. We have to help him."

"Adam, you know Kirstie and I will help anyway we can." Avi says, rubbing Adam on the arm. "We love him too."

"I know you do." Adam says with a nod and a small smile.

"Kirstie and I was going to get us all some breakfast." Avi says.

"Tim, Hun. You want some breakfast?" Adam calls out to him.

"Uh, yea, I could eat something." Tim says coming back into the bedroom. "And the largest coffee you can get."

Avi and Kirstie leaves to go get breakfast. As they're driving, Avi fills her in on what's going on with Tim.

"Oh my God." Kirstie says in shock. "Avi, that sounds like something from a horror movie. Poor Tim. What are we gonna do? He can't go with no sleep."

"I don't know. I was kind of thinking, you think maybe Kevin can find out something." Avi says as they pull up to a restaurant. He turns off the car and turns toward Kirstie. "You remember, he's the one that figured out how I could leave the house when I was a ghost. Maybe he can figure out what's going on with Tim and how to help him."

"It wouldn't hurt to try. Do you want me to call him?" Kirstie ask.

"Maybe we should talk to Tim and Adam first about it, to see what they think." Avi says as they walk into the restaurant. "But something good has come at of this. Tim told Adam that he loved him last night." Avi smiles.

"That's awesome." Kirstie giggles as she gives Avi a high-five. "I told you it would happen."

When they walk back into the house, Tim is sitting on the couch. He's dressed in shorts and a tee shirt, his hair still damp from a shower. He's mindlessly flipping through the channels of the television.

"We have breakfast." Avi announced as they walk in. "Where's Adam?

"He's taking a shower." Tim says as he slowly gets up and follows them into the kitchen.

"How are you feeling this morning?" Avi ask as he hands Tim a large coffee.

"Oh, I'm aright. Just really tired." Tim answers, rubbing his eyes and sitting down at the table.

"I thought I smelled food." Adam smiles as he walks into the kitchen. Also wearing shorts and tee shirt. A bandanna covering his head with his long wet hair hanging down on his shoulders. He leans over kissing Tim on the top of the head before sitting down next to him.

"Hope you guys like ham and cheese omelets with biscuit and gravy." Kirstie says as she gave them their carry out containers.

"Sounds awesome." Tim says with a yawn.

"Uh, Tim. I told Kirstie what was going on. I hope you don't mind. I thought she should know, considering we all live together." Avi says as he takes a sip of his coffee.

"No that's fine." Tim say's shaking his head, giving Kirstie a small smile.

"You know Kevin found out a way that I could leave the house when I was a ghost. I was thinking that maybe he could do some research and find a way to help you." Avi says as he looks at Tim across the table.

"It would be great if he could." Tim says, looking up meeting Avi's eyes. "I can't handle this, Avi. I'm actually scared to sleep."

"So, you want me to call him? I can fill him in on what's going on, so he can get started." Kirstie says as she reaches and takes Tim's hand, gently squeezing it.

"Please do." Tim says with a nod.

"I'll go call him right now." She smiles getting up from the table.

"Do you feel like going to the beach?" Adam ask, rubbing Tim on the leg.

"Yea, I need to get out and do something to help me stay awake." Tim chuckles.

"Well, let's get some drinks and snacks packed up while she's on the phone." Avi says as they begin to pick up their empty breakfast containers.

"Do me a favor and pack some energy drinks. I'm gonna need all the help I can get." Tim says with a chuckle.
