The next morning, Zoey and Glameow went back into the house, they heard a knock on the door. Zoey checked through the door hole to see who it was, and then opened it with a surprised look on her face...
Zoey: Candace? What are you doing here?
Candace: Zo-Zo, I was worried about you. I thought you'd disappear.
Zoey: Well, thanks. But were fine here, right, Glameow?
Zoey turned to her Pokémon, who didn't know how to respond to that. When she turned back however, in Candace's place was another live skeleton!
Skeleton: Hello, Zoey! Where's Dawn?! (laughs)
Shocked and angered at what she was seeing, Zoey kicked the skeleton back. At that moment, she saw a police car pull up next to the house. Zoey looked down, and to her surprise, she saw that the skeleton was now Candace again, pushed down...
Zoey: (shocked, lets out a small scream) Oh, no!
Panicked, Zoey carried Candace inside as two cops (a white guy and a black guy) came out of the police car. Zoey was hiding the body inside the hall closet...
White cop: (on a loudspeaker) Okay, come out with your hands up! (The black cop was holding a gun)
Zoey: Okay, Glameow, we hid the body away. Now, we have to face them.
Glameow was scared, but they did have to face the cops. Zoey came outside, with her hands up, with Glameow by her side, and then tried to explain to the two officers about what had happened.
Zoey: (stammers) Okay, officers, everything's okay.
Black cop: This morning, we received a call from an 'anonymous' friend of yours, who wanted to make sure you were okay.
Zoey: Oh, I'm fine. But I'm worried about what's going on inside the house. I'm still wondering if I'm seeing things.
White cop: wait, I know you. (looks at Zoey) You're Zoey Nozomi, the author on that recent book of Pokémon, are you?
Zoey: yes, I am.
Black guy: And this little guy is yours, right?
Zoey: (nods) Yep, my own Pokémon, Glameow.
W.G: Anyway, could we check around the house, or make sure everything is in order.
Zoey: Well, that's alright, come on in.
Zoey and Glameow let the 2 officers come into the house. While they were looking around, they noticed some stuff inside was out of place. The officers asked Zoey if they could talk about this over having a cup of coffee. She was happy to provide it for them. In the kitchen...
W.G.: So, Zoey, you know that someone died in this house recently, right?
B.G.: Through drinking lots of alcohol?
Zoey: Well, personally, I don't think that's the case. I believe there's something that's going on around the house.
Glameow nods.
W.G.: You think this is a haunted house?
Zoey: Let's just say... I'm not sure yet.
B.G.: Well, Ms. Nozomi, thanks for your cooperation.
The two officers then walked out of the house, went back to their police car, and drove off.
