CHAPTER TWO[there will be a RECAP in chapter three]
[' ' indicates someone's thought's]Feel free to tell me what you think,and if I should proceed.And also if you have any suggestions.And thanks go to my cat Scott,for lending me his name.[Does that sound like a weird name for a cat?]Sorry if there are any mistakes,this was written in a hurry,as I wanted to post it before my computer screwed up again.

When Nick arrived at the Hospital,he took a moment to look around.He couldn't see Rachel any where,so he approached the desk.The middle aged women behind it was on the phone,and motioned him to wait.As Nick waited for someone to help him,he continued to glance about the place.And as his gaze wondered back to the desk,he saw another figure had appeared.She was young,and pretty,and in Nick's opinion,someone he wanted to know.She was also wearing a doctors coat.'Not unusual in a hospital',he thought.As if sensing him,she looked up."Can I help you?",she asked.
"Yeah",he replied,"I'm looking for a friend of mine,Dr.Rachel Corrigan.She was consulting with a patient,I think,and I need to talk to her".
He watched as the womans face lit up in recognition."You know Rachel?",she asked smiling.
"Yeah",he answered,"we work together at the Luna Foundation".
"Really?"she asked."I've heard of the good work the Foundation does.What is it you do,exactly?"
Nick was saved from answering when he heard Rachel.
"Nick,what are you doing here?".She sounded surprised.
"Hey Rach",he greeted her."I'm here about the matter you asked us to look into,I may have some information that could help".
Rachel grasped the hidden meaning of his words,and looked at him gratefully.
"Oh,that",she said.
"Why don't we go to the cafeteria?"she proposed,hoping that he had some information that would help.She had quickly become frustrated with the lack of cooperation from her patient.She finally noticed the young woman standing by Nick and smiled.
"Oh hey Lucy,I see you've met Nick?"
"Yes we've met but we haven't been introduced.I'm Lucy Evans" she said,putting out her hand.
"Nick Boyle",he replied,shaking the offered hand.Rachel watched amused but quickly smothered the slight grin when they turned to her.
"Well,we'd better be going.It was nice to meet you Dr Evans",Nick said.
"You too Mr Boyle".
"Nick,please",he said smiling.
"Then I'm Lucy",she smiled back.As Nick and Rachel turned to leave,Nick's smile grew.'I'll have to go to hospital more often' he thought.Thinking his statement over he added,'Just hopefully not as a patient'.

As Nick and Rachel were settling down in the cafeteria,Derek and Alex were still researching the case.Derek was looking through yet more diary's,while Alex was still on the computer.So far she had discovered the Demon's name.It was Charaahl,and from what little had been written about it,it was not very pleasant.The Demon was reported to choose it's prey carefully,and when it had picked it,there was said to be no getting away.There was only one known surviver,and that was Lindsay Halliwell,the young women who had introduced the case to Simpson.After learning this,Derek turned to Alex and voiced the question on both their minds."If it rarely loses a victim,how did the women escape,and ask Jake Simpson for help?".
"I don' know Derek,but if she is still alive,and we can track her down,she may be able to tell us something we missed".Alex looked up to see Derek's reaction.
"Good idea Alex.Could you make a start on tracking her down,while I read over another journal?It was written by a member of his house.It is a long shot but until Rachel and Nick get back,it'll have to do".
"You got it Derek",she replied.As Alex started on her task,Derek went to his office where he had left the journal.As she heard him leave the room,Alex thought over the case.
'How could this young man have all this information about a Legacy member who died,ten years ago,if he hadn't been possessed?',she asked herself.As the thought hit her,she tried to think of a reason for Jake Simpson to have come back.The only one she could come up with was that he had come back to stop the Demon.She couldn't blame him.From the things she had learned about Charaahl,it needed stopping.But she couldn't help but think about Scott Young,and the fact that the man had his whole life ahead of him,but had been involved,possibly against his will,by something that could possibly take his life,and he had no say in the matter.She wondered if when this was over,Jake Simpson would leave Scott's body.Another thought struck her.
'Could he leave his body,or was this a one way deal?'.As the computer buzzed for her attention,Alex made a mental note to bring these thoughts up with the others later.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
As Rachel and Nick sat down to eat,they glanced around to make sure that no one would accidently overhear their conversation."Come on Nick,don't keep me in suspense",Rachel said in her best whine.
Nick smiled at her tone of voice.He could tell that things weren't working out here,from the frustrated sound of her voice.But as soon as her mind grasped the possibillity of new information,she had become more upbeat.
"Well,I don't know if this is gonna make any sense to you,but I'll do my best.Just promise me one thing.You won't interupt,no matter what you might hear.It makes more sense when you hear the whole story".
Rachel looked at him,trying to figure out what he was playing at.
"Okay,I'll bite.I promise I won't interupt.What information do you have?".
Nick took a deep breath,and told her everything.About Jake Simpson,and how they thought he was some how possessing Scott Young.As he moved on to the part about the ex Legacy member Simpson,Nick could see the look of disbelief on Rachel's face.She had seen a lot in her time with the Legacy,but she would still revert to her training if there was even the small possibility that it was a mental problem.When Nick had finished,Rachel leaned back,thinking over what he had said.
"Look,I know you might not believe any of that,but we think it's a possession,and that your patient may be in danger".He waited for her reaction.
"You're right Nick.A part of me does not believe that.I think that it's a mental breakdown.But,whether or not this whole possession thing is true,or just the worlds biggest coincidance,in your opinion,is Scott Young in danger?".
She watched Nick's face carefully.She had relied on him to keep her and her daughter safe,and he never let them down.She knew he would answer her truthfully.
"Yes Rachel,I do think he's in danger.Derek and Alex were researching the demon when I left,so I don't know anything about it yet.But something tells me,that this whole situation is going to get dangerous".
Rachel looked at Nick,and saw the resolve to protect in his eyes.
Typical Nick,she thought.He doesn't even know the guy,and he's already looking out for him.
"Okay",she said."Why don't I introduce you to him?You might be able to get something out of him.God know I've tried all day".
They got up to leave.
"When he wants to be quiet,he can rival even you",she added with a smile.
"Yeah,thanks Rach",he smiled back.He knew he wasn't the most talkative person,but that was the way he was.Rachel was always probing,trying to make sure he was okay.Eventually,she had begun to accept that he just didn't want to talk sometimes.His thoughts turned to the man they were about to see.'Let's hope he can shed some light on all this',he thought as they left the cafeteria.
