Disclaimer: I watched Ghost Hunt again last night. That was super fun. It scared my sister half to death though. hehe

A/N: *cricket cricket* I have nothing to say... weird...

Anyway, back to the story. *gasp* I swear, some of you are mind readers just like Liz. How did you know where this was going? Kudos to you. Of course, I'm not telling which guess was correct. It would simply ruin it for those who are going along for the ride. The person who got it right will get the story dedicated to them at the end of the story. So for those who have ideas on what's going on REVIEW, you may be right.

Never Let Luella Choose the Amusement Park:

~ St. Patrick's Day Part Four:~

Mr. Collins walked through the door. "Ah, there you are Liz. We were so worried you wouldn't come back. That would've been a real shame."

And this time Liz wasn't the only one that caught the double meaning in his words.

.xXx.

Liz watched the computers with a bad feeling. She told Naru twenty million times not to make John do that exorcism but did he listen? No, of course not. He hadn't even asked Masako if there were any spirits yet, but Liz didn't see anything wrong with that decision. After all, she'd seen Alice twice.

Masako tapped her on the shoulder.

"Yes, Masako?" She smiled weakly at the medium.

"There are no spirits here." Masako said, obviously confused.

Naru turned towards her, interested. "What are you talking about Masako? We've all seen Alice."

She shook her head, she couldn't quite explain it. "When John and I were walking the halls, nothing came up. Alice just appeared out of nowhere."

"So what you're saying is that there aren't any spirits here but you've seen the spirit yourself." Naru shook his head. "Female mediums are often known to be dead on or completely off. I think, Masako, you're having an off day."

Masako glared at him. "I'm well aware of the existence of off days Naru, but I'm absolutely positive there aren't any spirits in this amusement parks."

Naru just turned around and began watching the screen again. Masako and Liz sighed.

"He doesn't believe me." Masako muttered.

"That makes two of us." Liz replied, although Lin had told Liz he'd believed her, which brightened her mood considerably. "Why is it he only believes Mai?"

Naru snorted. "That's because she's usually right."

Liz and Masako laughed nervously, they'd forgotten Naru was sitting right next them.

.xXx.

"Our father, who art in heaven hallowed be thy name, thy Kingdom come, they will be done on earth as it is in heaven." John threw his holy water in the vacant room Mr. Collins had said was the room where they'd officially decided that Sarah Crane had killed her daughter. Mr. Collins had explained that that room was where the mysterious happenings began. "Give us this day or daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us."

After he said the rest of the prayers and he finished, he felt odd and somewhat nervous. "Hey Naru," John said into the camera. "I don't think anything was exorcised, it just felt like I was saying words and throwing water around."

He could practically see the frown on Naru's face. And the smirk on Liz's.

"Alright, come on back John." Naru finally said. John went to go open the door but he couldn't get it open. He jiggled the handle.

"Naru, I can't get out!" John pulled on the door, forcing himself not to panic. "The door's jammed!"

A thin sheet mist seeped through the door and filled the room. "John don't move." Naru whispered. And John didn't.

.xXx.

"John!" Masako yelled. "Someone has to go get him!"

Liz looked at Naru expectantly but he was too engrossed in the image on the computer screen to notice. When Liz looked closer, the image surprised her as well. A silhouette of a girl appeared in behind John, no one could make out its face but Naru was certain it was Alice.

"What do we do?" Liz whispered in his ear. He pressed his lips together, his mind working overtime.

Masako was wringing her hands, distracting him even more. His mind flitted towards Mai and Lin. They'd gone down with Takigawa and Ayako to check out the floor boards like Liz had said. He still thought it was crazy but his mother encouraged him to at least check. He stole a look at his aunt. Her face was pale and her eyes were squeezed shut, as if she was trying to hear something.

"I can't get Mr. Collins' thoughts." Liz finally said. "I haven't been able to read his since we got here."

Naru raised his eyebrows. So his aunt's power was useless against Mr. Collins. Interesting.

"Naru!" Masako finally hit him on the arm. "Do something!"

"What do you suggest?" Naru said icily. "That I run in there like a maniac?"

Masako glared at him. "Fine! I'll go help him myself."

But before she made it out the door, the computer screen covering John went out, leaving a blank screen and three worried team members.

.xXx.

By the time Masako got to the door, the others were coming up the stairs, holding papers in their hands. Masako wiggled the door handle feriously but the door wouldn't open. She slumped against the door.

"What's wrong Masako?" Takigawa asked.

"John, he's in there and the computer screen went off when Alice-"

She was cut of by Bou-san slamming against the door, Lin coming up behind him to help. When they managed to break the door down, nothing was in there. No John, no ghost. Masako covered her hand with her mouth, the tears spilling out. Mai wrapped an arm around her shoulder, trying to comfort the small girl. This was like what happened at the Urado case. People disappearing and such. Mai just hoped at the end they wouldn't find John with his throat slit.

.xXx.

Luella and Martin sat in the base with Naru and the others. Naru was receiving glares from everyone in the room, excluding his parents and Mai. Masako's eyes were red from crying. She took a shaky breath.

"You didn't do anything!" She yelled. "You could've helped him!"

Naru looked at her cooly. "I couldn't have done anything. By the time we would've gotten down there he would've been gone."

Masako started crying again. "You always were heartless! You don't care about anyone besides yourself and Mai. If everyone else died you'd be completely fine with it."

Mai winced, Masako had a point. But that didn't mean Mai had to like it.

Naru glared at Masako. "You were always naive. You can't just risk your life for everyone. What good would I be doing John if I disappeared as well?!" Everyone in the room lost their glare power. "You'd go running in there just to get captured in addition to John and we'd have to save two people instead of one, with less people to help."

Everyone stared at their feet, ashamed that they'd accused Naru of being heartless. He wasn't of course, just slightly more guarded than most people. Liz was the first one to soften.

"Sorry Ollie-pop." She whispered. Naru nodded in her direction, having already forgiven his aunt. Surprisingly, no matter how hard he tried to hold a grudge for all the crazy things his aunt did, he always found himself forgiving her without hesitation. Although no one knew that tidbit of information. Not even Liz herself.

"Yeah, sorry." Everyone else mumbled. Masako even apologized, although Naru knew how hard it was for her to apologize to him. It was John she was mad at him about. She was in love with him.

Luella sighed, leaning back in her chair. "I find it weird that John just went missing like that."

"It is." Naru said, turning to his mother. "And it's even weirder that Aunt Liz can't read Mr. Collins' mind."

"Is that true?" Lin asked. "You can't read his mind?"

Liz shook her head. "Nope. I can't read it at all."

Mai frowned. "These papers we found- they mention a whole bunch of things about mind blocks and some information about Sarah Crane. Isn't that odd that they were found together?"

Naru leaned forward, taking a look at the papers.

"Sarah Crane," He muttered, looking up at his Aunt with slightly more respect. "was diagnosed with a mental disease." He paused again. "After her daughter died."

Liz broke out into a grin. "So you're saying I'm right?!"

Naru frowned. "It means you might be right. Why would Mr. Collins lie like that to cover up the fact that Sarah was declared clinically insane after Alice was killed?"

"Because he killed her." Liz said flippantly. "Like I've been saying since, like, forever."

Naru rolled his eyes. "We've only been here two days."

She began to argue but the lights switched off, accompanied by pouring rain, lightning, and thunder.

"Great." Liz muttered.

"What?" Naru asked, completely surrounded by a dark shroud.

Liz sighed. "I'm just waiting for the ghost to pop out. Kind of a cliche moment huh?"

Mai screamed. "Look at the window!"

A figure was walking towards them, getting closer every time the lightning struck. Soon, there would only be a window protecting them.

"Huh." Liz said, while grabbing onto Luella's arm. "Not as cliche as I supposed."

Conversations with Naru:

Naru: I am so confused.

Me: Really? I think it's pretty obvious. And you're in the story so that's just sad.

Naru: No you don't. You're pretty confused as well.

Me: Hey, you aren't Liz. You can't read my mind.

Naru: Yeah, I was hoping to use reverse psychology to get you to tell me what's going on. But you're way too smart for that.

Me: Ohhhh, well it didn't work cause I still know that- wait. That was reverse reverse psychology wasn't it?

Naru: Does that even exist?

Me: Maybe. But wouldn't the reverse of the reverse just be the same as the first reverse, so really you'd just be using reverse psychology. Right?

Naru: Actually- Yeah I guess so.

Me: Oh! Before we get off track... Our Naru-ism today we'll be venturing into the mind of Lin. Simply cause he's my favorite character.

Naru: What?! What about me?!

Me: *rolls eyes* Next to you of course.

Naru: No, no it's too late for-

Me: Okay then! Onto our Naru-ism!!

As you may remember, when Mai first joined the SPR team she injured our beloved Lin. So, towards the end of the last section in the case Lin returns! (Me: Kinda like return of the jedi. Only cooler. Naru: How immature.)

"Hey Lin-san, is everything okay? Is your leg hurt to bad?" Mai smiles a bright smile like she always does. (Naru: She has a beautiful smile. Me: Awww)

*LIN'S DEATH STARE!!!!* And Mai's smile immediatley fades. (Naru: I might have a talk with him later. Me: Well, if Lin gains another shiki we know what happened to you. Naru: Haha, very funny. Me: Oh, I was serious, his death stare is... scary.)

'Help me someone before this guy kills me!' (Me: Aw, Lin couldn't hurt a fly. Well... now that you mention it... Run Mai run!!)

That was a shortened/condensed recap of the scene. I enojoy these Naru-isms. This Naru-ism was given to me by myself, seeing as no one else felt the need to suggest anything. Anyone who has any other quotes from the anime/manga may review and tell me so.

Review people! Or I may... not update. *gasp* OR I may not let them find John. Awww, who wants to kill of John?!

John: Why?! I didn't do anything!

Me: If it's what the public wants...

John: Review!! Please? I'm too young to die!!
