Here is chapter 2.
I hope you all enjoy it. I'm sorry if it is boring.
Please read and then review.
"There is something there, something evil." Mai reported to Naru and the others. "In a church?" Madoka asked. "Maybe the evil spirit was there before the church was built..." Lin suggested. "Madoka, can you do a back round check on the church and the land that it was on?" Naru asked and Madoka nodded and left.
"Is everything packed?" Naru asked Lin and Mai and they both nodded. "Let's get going then."
"Thank you so much for coming." Father Jenson said. Mai smiled and said, "It is our pleasure. We don't want other people hurt. Can you show me around the church when you have some spare time?"
"I have time now. I'd be honoured to show you around." Father Jenson replied. "John, go with her." Naru said to John. "Naru, I'll be fine." Mai protested. "I will not let my sister be alone in haunted building." Naru glared at his adopted sister.
"Please Mai, I can go with you." John said as he gathered his holy water and crucifix and then stood up. Father Jenson showed them around. "Is your boss also your brother?" Father Jenson asked as they were walking back to the base. "Brother, and business partner. His adopted parents adopted me. Naru and I are both orphans." Mai explained.
"Would you like to light a candle in your parent's memory?" Father Jenson asked. "After the case." Mai said with a sad smile. When they got back to the base Naru asked for tea. Mai grumbled on her way to get some tea.
To John it felt good to be back with the gang again. Well most of them. Takigawa-san, Matsuzaki-san, Hara-san and Yasuhara-san weren't here. "I called the others and they will be here tomorrow morning." Naru said as if he read John's mind. "How did you know what I was thinking?" John asked him in complete surprise.
"He does that to me all the time." Mai replied when she came back with two hot thermoses and she poured the tea and gave Naru one and then Lin and then John himself. "Your expression was easy to read." Naru replied, getting his black folder out and Lin got his note book computer out. "Can you repeat what you told us before so I can record it?" Lin asked. "Of course..." John repeated what he just said.
"Is there anything else that you might have forgotten?" Naru asked to make sure. "Nothing that I can think of. If I think of anything else I will let you know straight away." John replied. We ate lunch and then John went to visit the injured Priest. "I'll go with you." Mai said as he was about to stand up.
There has been no activity as of yet. The only activity that has been happening is the life movements. Masako, Yasu, Bou-san and Ayako have arrived. "I'm going to give her a big hug and then ask her to sign my copy of her book. I want to be the first person to have a signed copy." Mai could hear Bou-san say. "Too late." Naru said without looking up as they came in to the base.
"What do you mean?" The Monk asked. "I was the first to get a signed copy." Naru replied as he lifted his copy out of his bag and put it on to the table next to the mouse of his laptop. "What does it say inside?" Ayako asked as she opened it.
"To my dear brother. Oliver Davis.
Thank you for introduce me to the paranormal and for teaching me how to ghost hunt. ( You could have been a little more friendly though).
Thank you for being a good friend (even though you can be a bit mean), and thank you for being the best and only brother I could ever ask for.
Mai."
"Aw, that is so sweet Mai." Ayako said as the Monk slid down the wall, weeping. "I meant every word." Mai said as she took the Monk's copy and sat down to sign it.
To Houshou Takigawa
You are my first big brother. My teddy bear. (You are so cuddly.)
And a good friend.
Friends like you are hard to come by. But you are always there for me when I need someone when I go through some bad times.
Love Mai...Your little sister.
Mai gave Bou-san back his copy and he read it and it cheered him up. He grabbed her and pulled her in to a tight hug. "Bou-san, Your- chocking-me." Mai said in between gasps. Takigawa-san, please let go of my sister. I promised our parents I will take her home alive." Naru said with a sigh.
"Oops sorry." Bou-san let Mai go, but Mai grabbed him in to a tight hug.
"What does yours say?" Ayako asked John. John gave her his copy.
John.
Even though you left the priesthood, you still have your faith in God. Heaven is breathtakingly beautiful. Words can't describe how beautiful heaven is.
Never loose your faith.
Love
Mai.
"Oh Mai you have a way for words." Ayako was on the verge of tears. "Here's mine." Madoka said as she opened her copy of Mai's book.
Madoka,
Life would be pretty boring without you around. You light up the room with your happiness and your kindness (even thought can be a bit much) and you know how to shut Naru up. And you are nearly the only one who can make Lin smile.
I hope you keep smiling forever.
Love Mai
"Mai is the sweetest girl on this planet." Madoka said as she clasped her copy to her chest. "Lin got his signed as well." Naru said. "Read yours Lin." John said. Lin glared at Naru's back as he got his copy out.
Lin,
You can't even imagine how I admire you (how you put up with Naru, I don't know) and respect you. I'm glad that I can go to you if I need help with anything. You are like an uncle to me, the silent uncle. You were the only person in the office who said thank you when I made tea or coffee.
I can't tell you how much respect I have for you. Without you I wouldn't be alive today.
Mai.
"Mai could melt the coldest of hearts." Yasu said and he hugged her. "Yasu, let me go before I convince Naru to deduct your pay." Mai said. "You don't need to convince me." Naru said as he took a sip of tea.
Yasu let her go and took out his laptop and went to work. "John, would you like to go for a walk around the grounds with me?" Mai asked. John was surprised that she asked him and blushed. "Ah ,sure. I'll be happy to." John replied shyly.
As they walked along the grounds of the church Mai was drawn to the garden shed. "This way John." Mai said waving a hand for him to follow her. They entered the shed and behind them the door locked behind them and in the dark corner of the shed was a dark shadow.
Mai screamed when it revealed it's face. It wasn't human. It looked burned and blistery. John stood in front of Mai as the thing lunged for them...
I'm going to leave it there for now.
Will Mai and John be alright? Well you'll have to wait and find out. Hopefully you won't have to wait too long. Depends on what happens.
