Hello everyone.

Please enjoy.

Adanya had finished her studies then went to write some songs. She played with Amelia, talked to her father about possible cases.

When Lin, Madoka and Macarius came over for dinner she would talk to Lin China.

"Hey Adanya can you sing one of your new songs?" Macarius asked and everyone straightened up in their seats hopping.

Adanya shook her head. "You'll have to wait." She said.

"One of your old ones?" Madoka asked this time.

Adanya shook her head, "Too tired." She said as she leaned her back against Macarius's chest who stroked her hair absently to make her sleep. She needed it. She looks exhausted. Stroking her hair does the trick, it makes her drowsy. Soon Adanya was asleep.

And everyone left except Macarius, he wanted to stay with Adanya.

On the way to her room Mai gave covered him and Adanya with a blanket. She smile at him and kissed her daughter's head and went upstairs.

Naru came back down from putting Amelia to bed he shook Macarius's hand and kissed his daughter's head then went to bed.

The next day Adanya was helping Lin with the typing. She was humming softly as she typed.

Mai was in the kitchen making tea when the bells above the door rang. Mai went in to the room to greet the guest.

It was a woman. An elderly lady and her granddaughter. The granddaughter looked she had been crying. Her eyes were puffy and red.

"Welcome to SPR, my name is Mai, how may we help you?" Mai smiled at them. The elderly woman turned to her. "You have to help me. There is a spirit at my house and he has kidnapped my grandson and my daughter."

Everyone must've heard her because they came out at once. Lin had his laptop and Adanya went to get the granddaughter a drink.

"Okay ma'am, let;'s start from the beginning, starting with your name." Naru said sitting down on his favourite chair.

"My name is Meg Ryan, I'm originally from New Zealand, but my family and I moved to Japan just recently. My husband, our daughter and her husband and two children and I had just brought this house by the ocean and we want to turn it in to an inn.

My Husband, Jonathan, my daughter, Alison and my granddaughter here and her brother were working on the attic while I was in the kitchen making lunch when I heard Alison scream I raced up in to the attic and they were gone. There was no way out of the attic except the door but I would have heard it open because it squeaks.

Anyway I looked everywhere for them but I only found my granddaughter hiding in my wardrobe. She won't tell me what had happened."

Mai turned to the little girl who was looking at her and smiled. The little girl returned the smile. "Hey Alison, I think I saw some lollies in the kitchen would you like one?" Mai asked the girl.

Alison looked at her grandmother who smiled and nodded, "Get one for me?" Meg asked her granddaughter. Alison nodded and took Mai's hand.

In the kitchen Mai got the lolly jar out and Alison took one with a smile. "I have some cookies and milk would you some?"

"Yes please. Can I give these lollies to Grandma first?"

"Why don't you take a cookie out to her as well."

Alison grabbed a cookie and a minute later she was back.

Mai poured her a glass of milk and one for herself. She then placed some cookies on a plate and set the plate down in the middle of the table.

Mai and Alison chattered about their families.

"So the man in the black is your husband?" Alison asked.

Mai nodded. Remembering her wedding.

"And the girl next to him is your daughter?"

"Yep."

"How old is she?"

"She just turned sixteen. Her name is Adanya."

"What music do you like?"

"Anything."

"I love Anya Stone."

"My daughter is a big fan of her as well." My daughter is Anya Stone. Mai thought mentally grinning.

"I have all of her CDs and concert videos. I want to be her."

"I'm pretty sure that every kid wants to be her. Listen... Alison I need you to tell me about the time in the attic. It will help us find you family."

Alison's face dropped. She stared down at her feet. Then her shoulders started to shake. Mai moved around the table to put her arms around her.

"He came out of nowhere. He took grandpa first then mummy then my brother then they all vanished. I could hear my brother scream for help like he was in pain."

"Can you tell me what the ghost looked like?"

"Like a pirate. He is just a kid."

"Did he say anything to you?"

"He said that he wanted his mummy. Grandpa tried to protect my mummy but the ghost took him as well. I ran and hid in my grandmother's wardrobe." Alison then burst in to tears. Mai held her and rocked her to sleep.

Mai stood up slowly, carrying Alison back to her grandmother. Meg placed her granddaughter in her lap and looked at Mai in complete shock. "How did you get her to sleep? I could never get her to sleep."

Mai smiled at her and then looked at Adanya. "My daughter Adanya over next to the boss use to have nightmares all every night. I just held her and rocked her to sleep. It also works with my youngest daughter." Mai replied.

"May I ask who the father is?"

"I am." Naru replied taking her daughter's hand giving it a squeeze before letting it go. "We accept your case. We need seven rooms, six bedrooms and a base for our equipment. Expect us in a couple of hours."

"Oh thank you."

After Meg finished her tea she tried to get up but her granddaughter was to heavy for her so Lin stood up and held out his arms and picked Alison up and followed Meg to her car.

Meg smiled at the tenderness that Lin showed to Alison as he placed her in her seat. "You have a daughter too?" Meg asked.

Lin smiled and nodded, "and a son, the young man next Adanya." This woman is asking a lot about our children. Lin thought.

"I'm being a busy body. I apologise."

"No need to apologise."

"We will see you in a couple of hours."

Lin smiled and nodded as he closed the door.

When he came back in to the office Naru said to everyone. "Go home and pack and meet back here in an hour. Mai, call the rest of them before you go."

Everyone went home and packed. Mai called her friends if they could look after Amelia for a couple of days but no one was available.

"Naru, no one can look after Amelia." Mai called out.

"Did you try my parents?" Naru asked.

"Yes but they are back in London with a case."

Naru sighed, "we will have to take her with us." He and Mai hate taking Amelia on cases. There is a good chance she could get hurt. Mai nodded and sighed.

Soon everyone was in their cars. When they got to the house and entered the house Mai, Adanya and Masako gasped.

They had the taste of blood in their mouths. Adanya held her head like she had a headache. Amelia started to cry. Naru pulled her tightly to his chest and walked over to his wife and oldest daughter. "Are you all right?" He asked them. They both nodded. "Masako?" Naru turned to the medium who nodded.

"Blood everywhere..." Adanya groaned in pain.

"Oh thank goodness your here." Meg came from a room to their left. "Let me show you around and your rooms and your base. I will so you your base first. Follow me."

"Where's Alison?" Mai asked.

"She is staying over at a friend's house until all of this is resolved."

"Good idea. Lin, Monk-san, John, Yasuhara can you get the equipment set up? Mai, Adanya, Macarius, Ayako and Masako as we look around the house I want you to see if you sense anything." Naru said.

Naru carried Amelia as they walked through the house waiting too see her reaction. But she only slept in his arms.

When Mai and Naru were showed to their room Naru asked Meg if she had a cot to put Amelia in at night time and her naps. Meg nodded, "I have two, I can put one in here and the other in the base for you."

"Just show Macarius and Lin where they are and they will do that." Naru said.

"Mai, Adanya can you go up to the attic and look around? Macarius go with them?"

Mai, Adanya and Macarius went up to the attic to look around. Adanya could picture what had happen. She could feel sadness, loneness and murder. Adanya looked at her mother and Masako and asked, "do you feel that?" Mai and Masako nodded.

"Feel what?" Macarius asked.

Adanya looked at him with an unreadable look. "We think that the little boy was murdered..."

Sorry for the long wait folks.

Please R&R

Thank you for your patience.
