A/N:- hello! And thank you for reading this story. I am glad there are still ghost hunt readers around here. I was thinking of this story for quite some time now so I decided to post it.

Summary: Naru has gone back to England and Mai has disappeared. The truth of who Mai really is remains a mystery. Naru receives a weird letter. SPR Japan is in confusion. Gene is alive?! And who is that Mai like girl with him?

THE NEW START

3 MONTHS AFTER SPR IS SHUT

"Oliver dear come down and have some breakfast. You also have a few letters."

I walked down to the dining room and saw my parents and Lin sitting with their morning tea and toast as I joined the table and pulled myself a plate as well as opened my black file.

"How many times have I told you no work on the dining table? Here these letters came in today for you."

"Yes mother."

I shut the file with a snap and took the letters.

Three request letters for looking for a relative and the last one was from a mystery person?

Suddenly the sound of Lin's mobile filled the room and I saw his expression change to one of surprise.

"Hello"

"Why?"

"Okay. Give me a minute."

He walked out of the room and continued his conversation and suddenly I saw his expression change to one of shock and then to fury.

"How did this happen?!"

"I'll tell Noll."

"He has to know."

"Fine I won't tell him yet."

"Got it. I'll be there by the next flight possible."

And Lin entered the room I used my coldest voice to question.

"What is it I am not supposed to know?"

"You know I can't answer that Noll."

"Fine."

I finished my breakfast and started to drive my car to my office at SPR. I see as people start to stand as I enter the building and see a few women who give their flirtiest smiles and then I enter my office to start reading the book I was reading yesterday written by Dr. Ronalda. She is the president of American SPR and the only person in the field of paranormal researches who is on par with me.

People of our society call us rivals. Just because two people are equally good in something does not make them rivals. These people don't get that. I find her to be a fascinating researcher. I have only seen her one in a masquerade ball but didn't get the chance to talk to her as she left early after she got a phone call.

She disappeared completely for one and a half years ago but then her new researches by her started showing up but there have been no sightings of her even in her own office.

For some reason I felt like opening the mystery letter sent to me this morning before sitting down with 's book so I did just that. The letter was a printed and short one but it moved me from my head to toe. It said

Dr. Davis,

Please visit the Kaze hospital in Tokyo near the lake where your brother was found. You may find him again.

A well wisher

This could be trap said my rational side. And yes it could be trap that was set by the lady in the red car. The possibilities were enormous. The person whose body is buried as Gene may not be Gene as the face was completely rotten and was unrecognisable when the body was found, so there is a chance. If I listen to this person Gene may be found or I may end up in danger. The person is calling me to a hospital not aware of the fact when or if I will arrive. Hospital is a 24 hours open place at the same time equipped with killing instruments that can save peoples life but at a place where there are so many people it should be near impossible to kill someone unless that someone is a patient and the killer is a doctor.

"Lin!"

"Yes Naru?" that name still stings somewhere in the heart. I don't understand why.

"Get me a ticket to Japan for the next plane possible."

He looked shocked and then asked after recovering from it.

"Why so?"

"There is a hospital I want to visit. I'll talk to mother and father about this you need not worry. Why is there another reason you need to be there?"

"I see. I'll book tickets for the two of us." He shut the door and went back to his office.

He avoided answering that means he did get a call from Japan this morning and he is trying to keep me from receiving that information.

2 days later...

"Take care of yourself Noll." Mother said hugging me and for second time in my life I let her do so without complaining.

"Take care son, Lin" dad said nodding at the two of us. We nodded back and then entered the air port.

After the long and agonizing hours of plane in which I was reading the book by the plane landed. As soon as we got off we were greeted by the SPR Japan.

"Welcome back Naru! Welcome back Lin!" She tries to greet us both with a hug but backed off when she received one of my coldest glares. But I could see in her eyes she was hiding something and that something was there in everyone's eyes on different levels.

Everyone was greeting and welcoming us back when I noticed we were missing a certain someone.

"Where is Mai?"

One question and a silence spread over the happy mingling group.

A/n:- well that's it for the first chapter. I hope you liked it. I'll upload the second one as soon as possible.
