Part 1
-000-
Tap…Tap….Tap…..Tap…Tap… "IEEEEEEEEEE" a female scream cuts through the air. Feet pound as several employees in nurses garb rush towards the sound "Oh no please not another one" the door to room 307 was ajar their on the door was a bloody hand print. "What keeps doing this? I don't even want to go in." one of the women who stopped outside the door said, inside the room you could hear the flat line of the heart monitor hinting what awaited inside with its constant beeping.

November Wednesday
Beep beepbeep…Beep beeepbeep. The noise arouses me from my sleep. I turn over only to realize that…..YIKES! I am late again! Naru was so going to kill me. I frantically scramble off the bed and dash around the small but tidy apartment, skipping shower and breakfast I throw on some clothes and am out the door. Feet pound on the pavement as I run barely squeezing into the overcrowded train. Hi, I am Taniyama Mai and this is the story of my life. My phone rings shrilly as I glance down to see Shibuya Psychic Research (SPR for short) scroll across the screen.
"Mai….your late" the cool voice on the other end says. That was Naru my boss. His real name is Shibuya Kazuya. To most around the office though, he is known by Naru. I gave him that name when I first met him, Naru, short for Narcissist he is. I bite my lip and bounce on the balls of my feet.
"I am sorry Naru; I was up late studying and slept through my alarm." I say as the door dings "I will be there in like five minutes" I say. There is no response just the click of the phone. Sometimes I really wish I would have never accepted that thing from him. But after the fourth time being late during mid-terms he insisted that I have one so he could reach me. It would come out of my paycheck of course. I bustle into the main room and stop as I notice someone sitting on the couch. I had forgotten that we had someone stopping by to pitch a case to Naru and the team.
"Sorry, I will get right on making some tea….." I say as I hurry into the kitchen before anyone can even say a word.
I come out a little while later with several cups of the steaming beverage and serve everyone. "Now that my assistant has finally showed up…..will you please talk about the incident in more detail" Naru prompted the older man sitting in front of him.
"Well you see. It all started over a month ago. The evening shift started to report strange sounds in the night. Tapping, and moaning. I just shook it off as the old pipes in the walls. But then about two weeks ago the lights would flicker and occasionally things would go missing or had been moved. By that time we figured it was one of the patients playing tricks or what not It is a children's ward after all. So we put into place a curfew, and put in more cameras. However nothing was caught. The worse has been the last three days. Loud tapping sounds are heard then the lights cut out. A loud scream will rip through the air. When the lights come one there are bloody hand prints all over the ceiling tiles and walls. "He said. We have closed that area and removed everyone from the ward but the CEO wants answers. The cameras never catch anything. Perhaps the strangest part is that an hour after the whole thing the hand prints disappear."
I shiver as I listen to the tale, bloody hand prints. Sounded like something major was going on down at ….. Where was this again?
"I see and is there anything….anything else at all" Naru asked. When the man shook his head Naru stood up "Alright then Mai phone the others. Tell them to meet us at Hokkaido General Hospital in the morning. Mr. Akiyama please prepare three rooms for us. Two for staff use and one to use as an office or meeting place" while they discussed details I spaced a bit. Soon there was a thump when I jumped Naru just looked
"Mai. Phone. You know how to use one right or must I call you to remind you to do everything"
I looked around to notice that the gentlemen had left why I had spaced. 'Why that pig headed, slave-driving, narcissist!'
