Me: OHMYGOD I'M BACK! *jumping up and down all over the place*
Mai: Alright who gave the author sugar?! *grabs me and forces me to sit*
Gabriel&Yasu: *whistles while walking away*
Dean: *jumps up from behind couch* TheUnquietDead does not own us! *goes behind couch again*
Me: *manages to get out of chair* I CAN HEAR COLORS AND SEE SOUNDS! *runs around like a crazy person with Mai chasing me*
Sam: *sweatdrops* Please save us...
~SPR BASE~
"So Mai's here somewhere?" Bou-san asked. "Yeah. She's teamed up with the two Americans." Yasu told him. "I guess that's why she said she would see us later huh?" John asked out loud. Ayako sighed with a dreamy look in her eyes. "They are so hot. Right Masako?" Masako nodded with a dreamy look in her eyes also. Bou-san and Yasu watched them with jealousy in their veins. Ayako continued. "I wonder if they're single?" "They are but please don't. I would hate to have to protect the boys from Bou-san and Yasu." Everyone turned to look at Mai leaning against the doorframe with her arms crossed. She raised a hand in greeting. "Yo. What's up?" Everyone except Naru went over to give her a hello. Bou-san reached her first and gave Mai a crushing hug. "Mai!" Mai's eyes popped out of her head. "Can't...breathe...Bou-san!" *WHACK* "Don't kill her! And don't hog her either old man!" "You old hag!" "What did you just call me?!" As Ayako screeched at Bou-san, Mai took in much needed air. "Here, have some water Mai-san." She looked up to see Lin holding out a water bottle, with John, Yasu and Masako standing next to him. "Thanks." She took a sip. As she did a cold voice cut through all the merriment. "If you are all done acting like idiots get back to work. Taniyama-san why are you here?" Mai got up and looked at him. "I wanted to know if you were willing to assist me in interviewing the client's daughter." Naru forced his surprise to stay hidden. "What about your team? Surely they are capable of taking an interview." She shook her head slightly. "Sam and Dean are talking with all of the staff right now, past and present, so they can't help at the moment." She turned to walk out the door. "Besides Dean would most likely do or say something stupid and then we'll get kicked out because of him." Mai turned to look at Naru. "So you coming or what?" He inaudibly sighed and followed her. "Lin." He nodded as Naru walked out the door. Bou-san turned to everyone. "Ten bucks says only one will come back after killing the other and hiding the body." Yasu shook his head. "Nah. They'll come back after making out." "You're on." They sealed the bet with a handshake while the others looked on in amusement.
~MEETING WITH ALICE~
Naru watched the teenage girl scowling at him from her seat on the opposite couch. The girl wore a blue undershirt with a black and grey flannel shirt and rolled up sleeves. She had on faded dark colored jeans with rips on the knees from long time wear. Her long hair was up in a high ponytail while some dark brown side bangs partially covered her left eye, giving her a delinquent tomboy-ish image. "So you gonna stare at me or start your questions?" Alice snapped at him in annoyance. Naru stared at her unfazed. "How long have you been attacked?" He bluntly asked. "Ever since we moved to this stupid house." She retorted then muttered. "I told them I was fine. This isn't anything compared to what happened in the accident." Naru raised an eyebrow at that. Alice caught sight of it. "What? My parents didn't tell you about what happened in America? Or the actual story of the accident? Let me guess they gave some bullshit vague story didn't they?" She gave out a bitter laugh when Mai gave her a nod. "Oh, this is just great. Fucking priceless!" "And why is that so funny?" Mai asked from behind Naru. "If you don't know the whole story then you won't be able to help and calling in all of you would all be pointless." Alice answered her with a bitter humor. "Will you tell us about it then?" Mai asked. Alice cocked her head to the side. "Where would the fun be in that? Tell you what how about you ask my parents about what's going on. Ask them why they really left and then watch as they try to come up with some more random bullshit to cover their asses." With that Alice got up and walked out. "I'll be in my room now. Don't need me for anything less than murder." Mai watched her leave then turned to Naru. "Time to interrogate the parents?" He nodded. Mai got a devilish smile on her face. "Let's go get some answers."
~Interrogation of Mr. and Mrs. Landon with Mai, Naru, and Sam~
Mrs. Landon shifted under their glares. "Mrs. Landon." Mai began in a coldly civil voice. "Care to tell us why you left America?" "I don't see how that is any of your business Miss." Mr. Landon interjected. "Well considering your daughter says that we don't know the whole story and it's tied to the reason why this haunting is occurring I would say I need to know." Mrs. Landon looked at her and began in a nervous voice "If you must know we had a business problem tha-"
"Oh don't pull that old excuse Mother. You told that one too long already." Alice scornfully said as she walked into the room from the doorway. "Tell them about her." Mrs. Landon flinched as if she had been slapped. "Alice go to your room now." Mr. Landon said in a warning tone. "No! I am sick and tired of you two acting like she never existed! Tell them or I will!" "Who?" Sam asked from his spot on the wall. Alice looked at him with blank eyes. "My dead twin sister, Elizabeth." Mrs. Landon got up and slapped Alice hard. The three investigators stood up and prepared to intervene. "Never say that name! Ever!" Alice got in her face. "Why?! You can't handle knowing that your star daughter is dead and you are left with the reject you never wanted?! She's dead, I'm alive! Stop trying to treat me like her cause I'm nothing like her!" Mr. Landon got up and took ahold of his wife. "Alice that is enough! Now go into your room and stay there until you are ready to apologize!" Alice glared at him before going to the door. "Stop blaming me for what happened that day!" With that she stormed out. "Sam go after her. She can't be alone." Mai ordered him. He nodded and left to go find her. Naru stared at the Landon's. "Explain everything. Now." His tone of voice left no room for argument.
Me: Parents are gonna get it! Wooo! Oh just in case some of you guys are wondering about the case it's actually from one of my nightmares that I can remember. The nature of the accident will be revealed in the next chapter! Laterz!
