Day 1- 12:53 in the afternoon.

I bent down and adjusted the camera.

"Is this okay, Naru?" I asked.

"Yes. Finnish taking the temperature in there, and head back to base."

"Yes sir." I said sarcastically.

I looked at the thermometer sitting on the table, and I looked down at my clip board. The thermometer beeped at me and I check it. Seventy two degrees. No bad, pretty normal to me. I wrote the temperature down next to the words "Main Hall".

"Okay, I'm coming back."

I started heading back to base, cheerfully humming to myself. I found the door, and walked into the regular scene, Monk and Ayako were arguing, again; John was trying to break them up from the fight; Masako silently sipped on her tea; and Naru and Lin were watching the monitors.

"Here's the temperatures from every room."

I handed Naru the clipboard, and he glanced over it. The door suddenly slammed open, and his blue eyes snapped to the intruders. I glanced over at whoever just walked right in. The guy leading the small group was at least in his late twenties. His brown hair covered his hazel eyes, and was in a messy style. He was averagely built, and was about as tall as man behind him was heavily built, tall as Lin, and his black hair was cut really short. His dark eyes glanced around the room. And next to the muscular guy was Alex. Naru narrowed his eyes, and positioned his self in front of me.

"Well, well, when they said S.P.R was here, I didn't expect you to be here."

Naru, smirked, and I looked between them, confused.

"Well, if you ever came around to any of our family gatherings, you would surely have heard that I was back working in Japan. I came back a few months after the funeral. And speaking of which, you didn't attend, why?"

The man seemed at a loss for words. Naru's smirk grew wider, and I looked at Lin, confused.

"Who is that?" I asked him.

Lin looked down at me, but apparently, the man had over heard me.

"Ahhh, yes. Right. How rude of me. This is my team. Behind me is Alex and Jacob McAllister. I am Cole Ingram, director of C.I.P.R and Oliver Davis's cousin."

I stopped.

"Cousin?"

"Get. Out. Now."

"So you are also a psychic researcher?" Monk asked after the introductions had been made.

Cole nodded. We were all sitting around the interview table. Well, all of us but Naru and Lin, who made it clear that they were still working.

"Yes. I pursued the paranormal field right before Noll. It was my uncle who got me interested in such a field."

"Then why would Naru act so rudely to you? I mean, after all, you guys are family." Ayako said.

Cole nodded his head.

"Well, I guess he just doesn't like competition. I'm a very good researcher. I travel the world helping people with spirits and paranormal activities."

"So you take your entire team all over the world?" I asked, amazed, and interested in how he could pay such a fee for flying a bunch of people.

Cole laughed at me, and shook his head yet again.

"No, I'm afraid I couldn't send an entire team all over the world. I only take three people with me, and I have hired hands all around. Alex and Jacob are my permanent employees."

We were silent for a minute. I started thinking about this case, and that led me to the next question.

"So, what do you know about this house?"

"Oh geeze Naru, you work-aholic." Monk said jokingly.

He earned a glare from me, and the others were silently snickering to themselves.

"Hey, I was just thinking of the case and I wanted to know about the house. The owner hasn't told us anything."

The others began to break out into their own conversations as Alex started one with me.

"So, do you have the cameras set up?"

I nodded my head.

"Yes, in every room that Naru had believed would have some kind of activity in it. I'll need to go and take temperatures again."

"Well, maybe I could-"

The door opened up to the gathering room, and Naru walked in with Lin and Yasu behind him. His blue eyes searched the room.

"I don't pay you guys to sit around. Come on, you have work to do."

I glanced at Alex and got up. Naru wasn't in much of a good mood, and I knew I was going to have to make tea. The others followed behind me, and we headed back to base.

A/N: I'm sooooooo sorry it took me so long to update. The computer had a bad crash, and then we went camping and now school is starting tomorrow, but I promise I'll try to make updates as often as I can. Thanks for those who are sticking with me, and I'm currently working on Chapter 3 as I write this. Lolz. If you have any ideas for twists, you can message me. I liked some of the ideas I've been getting, but I'll make this a good story. I promise. And I'm sorry for making this a short chapter, but I'll try to make the next one bigger. If I know where to go with the next one. :S Anyways, R&r por favor.
