Chapter One: Matt Meets Inez

Author's Note:

Sorry for taking so long. I know most of you are wondering why I started all over. It's because 1) I had to add a prologue, and make the intro longer than the old one, 2) I made a few errors from the real plot and this one, and 3) there was supposed to be some humor in the first part, when the ghost and the person meets. In the real movie, it David and Elizabeth. Of course, in this version, the chapter name says it all. It's Matt and Inez. But you won't believe who the psychic is. You'll have to read to find out! Please read and review! Until Chapter Two: The Wrong Question, see ya! ;-)

Six months past since the accident, and the doctors discovered that Inez was in a coma. It has been like that for six months, and still was.

And when the six months past, an old Bostonian returned from New York.

25 year old Matthew Williams drove in his truck to his new home. He golden labrador, Obi, stuck his head out the car window.

Matt was supposed to move into an old apartment that hasn't been inhabited for six months. He decided to move in.

Matt had finally arrived, and he got out of the car with a suitcase and a backpack. Obi followed him. He stopped across the street and gazed up at the fancy apartment building. He took a deep breath and crossed the road, and checked in the apartment.

Everything was unpacked, and Matt had settled in. He watched TV for a while, ate a few snacks. Matt turned off the TV, stood up, and walked over to the kitchen's refridgerator. He took a soda out of the refridgerator, and walked back to the living room, only to stop at the entrance when he saw a girl with long chestnut hair, wearing a white blouse, jeans, and black shoes. She wore glasses and she had brown eyes.

The two saw each other and screamed. Matt accidently snapped open the soda can, as soda splashed on the girl.

"There's nothing you can take here!" the girl cried, "No money! No drugs!"

"Hold on!" Matt cried, "I live here!"

"No you can't." the girl said, "Because I live here."

"But, this apartment was for rent." Matt said.

"Yeah, and I bought it!" the girl cried.

"Oh, you're just a fake renter." Matt frowned.

"I beg your pardon?" the girl exclaimed.

"You didn't really buy this place!" Matt said.

"No, really." the girl said, "I live here. That's my table, my couch." - Inez walked over to the coffee table. It was littered with potato chip bags and candy wrappers - "Ever heard of cleanliness?"

Matt sighed. "Fine. My name's Matt. You are?"

"I..." the girl began. Then she frowned. "Can't remember."

Matt's eyes widened. How could she not remember her own name?

"Okay..." Matt said slowly, "But, one of us is gonna have to move out."

"I'm not leaving." the girl said.

"You have to leave!" Matt snapped.

"No, you have to!" the girl cried, "This is my house! I live here!"

"Gah! Forget it!" Matt turned back to the kitchen to get another soda. He turned around. The girl was gone.

Matt opened the refridgerator and yelped. The girl was in the refridgerator, leaning on the wall.

"Nice arrangement..." the girl said.

Matt took a soda and shut the refridgerator door closed. He walked towards the bedroom, then heard a creak.

Matt looked down the hall. "Hello?" he called.

Then, he caught a glimpse of the girl, rushing into the next room. Matt chased after her.

When he finally caught up with her, they were back in the living room. He went in a circle!

"What are you, a ghost?" Matt snapped.

"No!" the girl shot, "I'm not dead!"

"Then how do you explain going through the walls and everything!" Matt snapped.

"What do you mean I'm going through things!" the girl snapped, walking through the dinner table, "I'm... what's happening?"

"You're dead!" Matt exclaimed.

"I am not dead!" the girl retorted, walking completely through the dinner table and infront of Matt, "If I was dead, I would know! And I know, that I'm not dead!"

"Then how are you out of your body?" Matt snapped.

"I don't know!" the girl retorted, "All I know, is that I'm not dead!"

"Yes, you are!" Matt shot back.

"No, I'm not!" the girl shot back.

"Yes, you are!"

"No, I'm not!"

"Gah!" Matt cried, "This is getting us nowhere! I'm calling the psychic!"

"Why the Hell would you need a psychic!" the girl demanded, "I told you, I'm not dead!"

"Yes, you are!" Matt retorted, dialing the psychic's phone number. He waited until a female picked up the phone.

"Hi." Matt said, "Sorry for calling so late, but, think you can come over and try to sense out the ghost."

"I am not a ghost!" the girl shot.

Matt held up his finger to his lips, and continued to listen to the female. "Okay. Thanks."

Matt hung up, and said, "The psychic will be here in 5 minutes."

"Do you really think a psychic can get rid of me?" the girl retorted.

"I know a psychic can get rid of you!" Matt retorted.

Then, the neighbour knocked on the door. "Dude! You're too loud! Why are you talking to yourself?"

"I'm not!" Matt shot back to the laughter of teenagers. Then, he paused. "Hold on, they didn't hear you?"

"Want me to check up on them?" the girl asked, ignoring Matt's question, "I know those teenagers. Just a couple of college drop-outs."

The girl walked through the wall. After a few seconds, she came back.

"Okay, they didn't seem to see me, but they're talking a lot of gossip about you." the girl explained.

"I don't think boys gossip..." Matt frowned.

"They're gay, Matt." the girl said.

Matt's face had a petrified look. That explains a whole lot.

Five minutes later, the doorbell rang.

Matt answered it, and a familiar girl was standing there.

"Jackie?" Matt wondered out loud.

"Nice to see you back in town, Matt." 25 year old Jaclyn Edwards said, entering the apartment, "When did you move back?"

"Just today." Matt replied, "Since when were a psychic?"

"Since I was 12." Jackie replied, "Right after our missions with Motherboard."

"Why does the two names ring a bell?" the girl asked.

Matt just shrugged. Then, he noticed something about the girl. She looked awefully familiar...

"Hold on..." Matt muttered, "You look familiar..."

"Matt, who are you talking to?" Jackie asked.

Matt was surprised. "You can't see her?"

"See who?" Jackie asked, "If you're talking about the aura next to you, then I can get an idea. Let's see... well, here's a coincedence. Her name's Inez."

Matt felt his heart skip a beat. Inez... that name was definatly familiar.

Jackie caught on. "You don't think..."

"Yes, I do." Matt replied.

"What?" the girl cried.

"Ineza Garcia!" the two exclaimed.

Inez was surprised. At least now she knew her name.

"Matt, can you really see her?" Jackie asked.

"I know I can see her!" Matt exclaimed, "She even went through walls!"

"Okay, that's a weird one." Jackie frowned.

"Why?" Matt asked.

"Because, she's not dead." Jackie explained.

"Told you..." Inez said.

"Continue please." Matt said, annoyed with Inez's retorts.

"Inez has been in a coma from a car accident for the past six months." Jackie continued, "I have no idea how Inez got out of her body. But we have to get her back before it's too late."

"How?" Matt asked, "We don't even know where her body is!"

"It's at the hospital she works at." Jackie replied, "The Boston Clinic. But, I hope Inez hears me, she has a stressed-out aura. That's not a good sign. She's a workaholic, and she never had a relationship in her life."

"Okay, I know Nezzie's a geek and all, but this is ridiculous." Matt said.

"Don't call me Nezzie." Inez growled.

"Sorry." Matt said.

"Can anybody else see Inez?" Jackie asked.

"So far no." Matt replied, "If nobody else can see her, then we're on our own."
