Chapter 5—the conclusion
After about twenty minutes, they rejoined everyone in Ops. Everyone looked bored, except Jane. She looked happy, smiling at the two arrivals.
"Well," said Jane. "I'm happy to report that all the shadows and residue are gone. Captain Becker is fully cleansed, and much more thoroughly than I could have done," she said, winking at Jess.
Jess and Becker both blushed, but smiled at each other.
"The bad news is there is one energy that remains. It was attached to the Captain. It followed you. You and Jess heard it here by the...DD contraption, whatever, "
Connor and Lester looked shocked. No one had called it by name of course. It was top secret.
"You heard it here, because you, Captain, were here. Then you went to the loading dock and it followed you. I believe it even attacked."
Becker and Matt looked at each other.
"I don't know how to pronounce it. It's that thing that threw you all about this morning. The one that injured the Captain. Abby will tell you that it died earlier."
They all looked at Abby and she looked stunned.
"There is no way you can know that," she said to a sweetly smiling Jane. "No one but me and my assistant knows that and Mary wouldn't have said anything."
"How did it die?" asked Matt. "We used EMDs."
"Yes," said Jane. "A lot of EMDs, not that I blame you. It was vicious. That's why it's still here. It's not done hunting. Anyway, it had a heart attack, caused by all that electricity running through it. I believe it's death and release of its vicious energy is what triggered the other energies to act up."
"I haven't released the cause of the death of the alioramus to anyone," said a shocked Abby.
Again, Jane just smiled.
"It attached to the Captain, I think, because he attacked it the most. I sense lots anger left behind. We must cleanse it, shall we go to the loading docks?"
Jane asked, but was already walking.
"This time I shall say a little prayer, sort of a paraphrase of the Prayer of Deliverance, and then the Captain shall burn the wreath, and the others who participated in the scuffle this morning shall burn incense. That should do it. It isn't a full entity either, but since it just died, there is anger and confusion left behind. That's what we want to go away."
Jane realized Becker was not following them.
"I'm not burning any damn wreath."
"Captain, you must," said Jane. "I sense you are the center of the aliorwhatmus' anger. It must be you."
"No."
"Very well," said Lester. "I order you to do it."
"Fine," said Becker. "I respectfully decline your order based on stupidity."
"Becker!" yelled Lester. "Don't take that tone with me."
"Sh. Everyone, just, sh," said Jess quietly. "Becker, I know you don't believe. I'm scared, and this stupid ceremony would make me feel better. So, would you light up a couple of bundles of dead plant material while a slightly looney lady reads some words that you may consider drivel, would you do all of that for me, if I asked you nicely?"
Becker smiled. "Yes."
Jess leaned up and kissed him, raising looks and smirks on the others' faces. "Please, Becker?"
"OK."
Jane smiled and sighed. She handed Becker a wreath, and after he lit it, Jane began to read a prayer, loudly and firmly.
"We stand here today together as one, in the sight of righteousness and truth."
A low, menacing growl roared at Jane.
Jess clung to Becker.
Jane continued the prayer, " I command you, with these witnesses, do no harm and be gone. We wish you no ill, do us none in return. In the name of goodness, purity and light leave this dwelling and harass the living no more."
The growl sounded again, louder. Jane was pushed down. Jess bent to help her, but Jess was shoved back, also.
"Jess!" screamed Becker. "That's it! Whatever the hell you are, something supernatural or not, do not mess with Jess!" He lit more of the sage, so it was roaring. "Be gone! Get the hell out of here, now!"
Becker felt a fierce force push at him, but he stood firm.
"I said go!"
Jane stood now, thanks to Jess. She had taken the rest of her sage, and burnt it as well. She walked in a sweeping circle, making brush strokes with her wreath.
"Be gone, and do no harm," she said firmly.
Jane then nodded for Abby, Matt, and Connor to burn incense. Even though Jess and Emily had no part in the attack that indirectly killed the alioramus, they burned incense as well. Lester dusted the area with rosemary leaves.
There was a loud, ferocious growl, followed immediately by a whimper, like a dog makes when hurt.
"Ah," said Jane. "That's the surrender sound. We've cleansed it."
They all stood in silence. Jane closed her eyes and stood for a moment.
"The energy has released itself into the universe and it will do no more harm."
"And we take your word for it?" asked Matt.
Emily nudged him. "Don't be rude."
Matt shook his head.
"It's alright, Emily. Matt has a right to his doubts. I'm afraid my word is all I have for now, but you will see that there will be no more occurrences," Jane said. "Incidentally, Emily dear, how are you coping in this time?"
Emily was in shock.
"How does she do that?" asked Connor.
Jess jumped into Becker's arms.
"Thank you," she said.
"Well, you asked so nicely," he said with a chuckle.
"That does it," said Jane. Seeing the looks of doubt, she smiled. "Trust me."
"We do," said Lester.
"It was wonderful meeting you all," said Jane. "Don't worry, James I will happily sign that little paper promising not to talk about the dinosaurs or the yellow flashing thingies."
More looks of awe were exchanged, and Jane chuckled at them.
"Thank you, Jane," said Lester, escorting her out. "I do wish you'd wait for me to ask. It becomes annoying."
"I'm sorry, dear," she said
"Now, where were we all?" asked Jess.
"I don't know about them, but you were right about, here," said Becker, pulling her back into his arms.
She giggled. "That's not what I meant, but oh, well."
Becker chuckled and they leaned into each other for a gentle kiss.
"Woo!" cried Abby. Connor clapped.
Matt whistled, and Emily laughed.
"Ignore them," said Becker.
"How are feeling, by the way?" asked Jess, gingerly touching Becker's ribs.
"I can honestly say that I'm feeling no pain," he said, with a chuckle.
Matt laughed. "May you should go home to rest, and Jess should go along to...nurse you."
Jess blushed, and so did Becker slightly, but he was seriously thinking about it.
"Has been a strange day," he said.
"And you did get thrown again, twice. Yes, let's go. You're place. To rest. Bye, everyone," said Jess, pulling Becker along.
Several days later, and Matt was ready to admit the occurrences seemed to have ended, but he would not say why. The whole episode was just weird. Lester was delighted once again with Jane's assistance. She really was the best psychic in the business.
Lester walked out of his office after ending a thank you call to Jane. The first sight he saw stepping into the Ops was Jess and Becker canoodling at the ADD.
"Captain, do you really think nibbling on the Field Coordinator's neck in the middle of not only your shift but hers, is appropriate behavior?"
Becker blushed.
"Busted," whispered Jess.
"Probably not sir, Sorry."
"Won't happen again," whispered Jess, attempting to feed Becker lines.
Becker smirked and whispered back, "Can't promise that."
Jess blushed.
Lester rolled his eyes. He hurried away, trying to put distance between him and the nauseating new lovebirds, and unfortunately found the old love birds. Just outside Ops, Abby and Connor were kissing.
"Good lord," said Lester.
"Sorry," said Abby.
"It's OK, though, we're engaged," said Connor.
"Jolly good, jolly don't care," said Lester hurrying past. He made it all the way to the car park where Emily and Matt were making out outside of Matt's car.
"Good grief! At least have the decency to do that inside a car, preferably with tented windows, like considerate people!"
Lester hurried on, ignoring the giggling couple and finally retreated into his car.
"I don't suppose Jane knows how to cleanse love sickness," he muttered.
The End
