When Alex came to she was surrounded by her best friend, Evelyn and the
panicking Dennis Rafkin in a hotel room somewhere in New Jersey.
"W-what happened?" the blonde asked the two that towered over her.
"You blacked out, can you remember anything?" Evy asked her.
"No, just that Cyrus guy beating up him." Alex said drowsily, pointing at Dennis.
"Yeah, thanks." Dennis added.
Evy sighed as she helped her friend up off the bed.
"So, what now?" Alex asked the two.
"Uh, they're shipping us off to some high school nearby tomorrow." Dennis said rubbing his eyes.
"Great, can't wait!" Alex said sarcastically.
"Oh, you won't be going." Evy said plainly.
"What... what do ya mean, I wont be going?" Alex asked upset.
"I told Cyrus that you needed to take a break from 'ghost hunting', okay!" Evy stated.
"What? Why!" Alex asked.
"Because, its true, you do need a break after today, besides, tomorrow isn't gonna be all that special anyway." Evy told her as she gathered up the two pairs of spectral viewers that were scattered on the bedside table.
"Great, I'll wait here then." Alex said, glancing at the tired look on Dennis' pale face.
The next morning Dennis sat in Alex' usual passenger seat of Evy's car. It was early in the afternoon, and was a little bit warmer outside than it had been the previous days.
"So, how long have you and Alex known each other?" Dennis asked Evy, trying to break the awkward silence between them.
"Since sixth grade."
"Damn... that's a long time."
"We went to this school for kids... well, like us. She used to copy off my test papers a lot, so one day we just decided to be friends, have been ever since." Evy said, focusing on the row of black vans ahead of them.
"Oh." Dennis muttered, staring out the passenger side window.
"Did you have any friends growing up? If you don't mind me asking."
"Not really, never was much of a 'people person'."
"Oh." Evy muttered, letting the subject drop.
The black vans came to a halt in front of a high school, that was everyone's cue to exit their automobiles.
"Springfield High School." Dennis read off the sign in front of the school.

Bound and Broken:
(Narrator: Evelyn Chase)
*
So, this is where we can find the 'Bound Woman', or at least that's what Cyrus calls her. Serena said her name was Susan LeGrow and she was killed by her boyfriend, Chet Walters.
The story supposedly goes that Susan was the richest girl in town, and being that she was a cheerleader she dated the star football player on the team, Chet. On the night of their Senior Prom, where Susan won the title of Prom Queen, Chet found her in another boy's arms, Billy Bob's to be exact. The next morning Billy Bob was found beaten to death, and Susan was missing... the police found her body two weeks later, buried under the football field.
Poor Susan had had her hands bound behind her back with rope, and was strangled to death with her boyfriend's tie. When Chet was put on death row his last words were reportedly, "The bitch broke my heart, so I broke her neck!"
*sigh*
What some people will do... and now crazy Cyrus wants to capture her for his collection, poor Susan, I almost don't want to go through with this! But unfortunately, I need the money... guess its her or me, and she seems to be too far gone as it is. At least we'd be ridding the school of her violent ghost that reportedly keeps knocking male high school students off the third floor staircase.

"Here, put these on." Henry said to Dennis and Evy, handing them two ear- sets.
"What are they?" Dennis asked.
"They'll help us keep in touch, that way if this gets out of hand we'll be able to hear if anyone is hurt." Henry told them as they put on the small earpieces with a microphone on the end.
They entered the school, Serena was talking to the principle, trying to get him to sign some insurance agreement.
"See, sign right there-" Serena said, pointing to the dotted line, trying to convince the principle to sign.
"But what is this all about?" he asked.
"Oh, nothing... just incase someone falls down, gets beaten, stabbed, mutilated... so no one will be held responsible." She said, smiling at him.
"Al-alright, I guess its okay." The principle muttered as he signed the document, not really worried about the well being of the after-school- program kids that were walking the halls, only caring for the sum of money Cyrus was bribing him with.
"Wonderful Mr. Brody! Now, lets start working, shall we?" Cyrus uttered in joy.
"Wait, what! There are kids in here!" Evy shrieked as her and Dennis walked down the main hallway, the handful of teenage students gathered around them, curious about what was going on.
"Hey Cyrus! Can't we wait till later, like when the kids have gone home!" Dennis yelled to Cyrus at the other end of the hall.
"No time Dennis, we must hurry!" the man yelled back.
"Great, just great!" Dennis complained as two high school kids walked up to him and Evy.
"Hey, what's going on?" the young platinum blonde girl asked, hanging onto her skinny boyfriend's waist.
"Yeah man! What's with the hardware out back! The jocks gotta play on that field tomorrow!" the tall, skinny boy asked in a whinny voice, as the short blonde hung onto him casually.
"I don't know... ask him!" Dennis said pointing to Cyrus.
"I ain't asking grandpa over there anything... personally the guy creeps me out! And what's with the cane, man? Its creepy as hell!" the skinny boy whined to them.
"God! Stu!" the blonde girl at his side fussed at him, "Stupidity leak!" she screamed, hitting her boyfriend on the forehead with the cherry sucker she was eating.
"Ah! Babe quit!" the boy shrieked as Evy and Dennis walked away from them.
"He's actually gonna make us catch this thing with these idiots wandering around!" Dennis asked, looking back at the teenage couple oddly.
"Why do you have to be so negative all the time!?!" Evy asked sharply.
"I don't know, I've had a lot of practice at it I guess."
"W-what happened?" the blonde asked the two that towered over her.
"You blacked out, can you remember anything?" Evy asked her.
