Day #3
Late at Night:
After watching the doll, Minnie, ripping its head off, but later finding out nothing happened at all. Everyone was standing there late at night waiting for something to happen again, yet it seemed the spirit(s) had nothing else to show them. The night twiddled like water sliding down glass suffocatingly slow.
BRRRRING!BRRING!
A phone started ringing which in turned made several people startle from the sound. Walking over to the phone Monk answered, "Hello? Yes, this is SPR...No, I'm not the boss...Oh, I see..."
Turning around Monk looked down the hall with the phone to his ear, "Mai!"
"Yes?" said a voice from the kitchen where she walks out with a tray of tea for those who still awake at such a late hour. Walking towards Monk, he replies, "You have a call, here I'll take the this and you take the phone."
Taking the tray out of Mai's hands, Monk gives her the phone and walks away hearing Mai answer the phone, "Hello? Yes this is she..."
Walking down the hall with the tray Monk walks into a room filled recording equipment, cameras, monitors, etc…
"I don't think we're going to get anything anymore." Matsuzaki Ayako spoke in a dismiss tone, with her long auburn hair swinging as she shakes her head at the motionless next to her is Kazuya Shibuya or as Mai calls him "Naru the Narcissist" a young man barely of 18 years of age in nothing but black clothing, Mai's boss.
Barely looking up to Ayako's comment and Monks' entrance into the room Naru responds, "Then you wouldn't mind rechecking the temperatures in these rooms."
Handing Ayako a clipboard with some of the rooms listed. Sniffing, Ayako snatches the clipboard from Naru's hands and struts out of the room with her head held up high, huffing about her always being subjected to do the dirty work.
Snickering, Monk passes Naru some tea, before turning to a tall man in a pantsuit and shirt with black hair, Koujo Lin. The only other assistant to Naru, and of very obvious chinese descendent.
[i]Thud![/i]
A loud sound is heard down the hall, right where Mai was. Moving quickly, Monk races out of the room with Lin close behind. Only to find Mai standing frozen staring at the phone she had just dropped. "Mai?!" Monk asks stepping close to her, only to gasp at seeing a terrified look run across her face.
"What's going on?" spoke a loud voice.
Jolting, Mai looks up to see Ayako looking at her in concern, before quickly turning to the other side of her, "I need to leave for a few days!" Mai voices moving passed Naru in a frantic pace. Naru looks at Mai before nodding to her, "You may leave." Naru replies, but Mai barely hears as she races to the room she is using at the house at the current moment.
"Mai! What's wrong?" Monk asks following her disappearing figure down the hall. Turning the corner, Monk opens the door to see Mai frantically packing her bag, and grabbing her things while answering to Monk in a panicked voice, "I need to go!I don't have to explain right now!" Zipping up her bag and throwing it over her shoulder Mai passes Monk in a quick pace.
Monk turns to follow Mai just as Ayako speaks just ahead of him, "But where? We're in the middle of an investigation?" Naru is holding out Mai's phone to her, Mai grabs it and dials a number.

"Mai!? Will you just answer us?" Monk asks at the same time Mai speaks into the phone, "Hi, this is Mai Taniyama is this Tongji Hospital?"
"H-hospital? What about a hospi-" SLAM!
Mai was already out the door just as Ayako was asking. "Did she say Tongji? There's no Tongji Hospital here in the area." Ayako comments curiously.
"That's because Tongji Hospital is a hospital in China." spoke Lin from down the hall.
"What!?" Monk ponders.
