Warning

"What?" Detective Masahiko said, not believing what he had heard. They were now both sitting in a closet near the kitchen, where Detective Masahiko had first talked to her. He figured it was the only place that he could talk to her in private. It was also just around the corner where he had run into her.

"I don't know how, but I did." Mai said looking down at her hands. She had a small glass of tea in her hands. Detective Masahiko ordered for a police officer to go to the kitchen and get some tea for her.

"Have you told anyone else about this, anyone at all?" He asked thinking of what he could do. Mai hesitated for a moment before answer. "I told Naru, though he didn't believe me."

"Whose Naru?" Detective Masahiko asked. "And where is the book now?"

"Naru is my boss and he gave it back to Father Shiro, saying that I shouldn't take people's things." Mai said. There was a noise from outside the door, but after a moment, they did not hear anything else.

"Do you know where he put the book?" The Detective asked in a whisper. He did not want anyone to find out that they were in there. It might interrupt this new lead.

"Probably back in the back room." Mai said, not knowing what the room was called. The Detective looked at her, confused. "The only behind the alter, where he prepares for the sermons." The Detective nodded before standing up straight.

"Stay here. I am going to go see if I can find it. Wait a few minutes before you leave so no one knows we were in here together." Mai nodded her head as the detective opened the door and walked out, leaving her alone in the dark. Mai stood there, waiting and listening, wondering when it would be the right time to leave.

Creak

The noise echoed around in the darkness. Mai tensed, too afraid to move a muscle.

"Come." The voice echoed around the room, making Mai's skin crawl. "Let me" The temperature began to quickly drop and before Mai could even realize what had happened, her breath was already appearing in front of her. "Show you". Two hands suddenly came out of the wall, reaching for Mai. Mai wanted to scream, but her voice had disappeared.

Mai pressed herself against the wall of the closet, trying to disappear within it. There was a crash near her, as the cup slipped from her hands and fell to the floor. This couldn't be happening. Not now.

Mai watched as the hands turned into arms and slowly a head started to appear, the long thick black hair, falling to the side. As Mai's eyes locked with its, seeing the horror and fear within them. Blood dripped down from the spirits head, landing on the ground and creating a pool of blood that grew quickly. Mai pressed as far as she could into the wall as she saw that the blood had started to move towards her. She wanted this nightmare to end, for someone to open the door and make everything go away.

"No" Mai whispered as the blood reached her shoes, tracing the outline of them. "No" The spirit within the wall began to pull herself out, dragging the rest of her body from the wall and onto the pool of blood. As her body hit the ground, blood splatter everywhere. A small drop landed on Mai's cheek. It began to burn but Mai was too afraid to remove it.

The spirit girl began to crawl, drag herself over to Mai, reaching out a hand, trying to touch her. When Mai stared down at her, images began to flash through her mind, ones of those girls in the album. This girl was dead, and she was in that album that she had looked through. The girl reached out her hand and touched Mai with her icy cold fingers, making pain shoot through her leg.

"NO!" Mai screamed wanting the pain to stop. As Mai screamed on the top of her lungs, she felt the pain began to rise before suddenly it was gone. Mai looked down to find the girl gone, but the feeling of being watched lingered.

"Mai!"Naru screamed as he slammed open the door. As Mai looked up to see him, she felt her legs give out beneath her. Naru rushed over and grabbed her, stopping her from falling. "What the hell are you doing in here?" he asked her as she began to shake.

"What's going on!" yelled someone. Detective Masahiko came running past the other police officers and into the closet. "What happened?"

"I just asked that." Naru said looking up at him. Mai just grabbed onto Naru's shirt, her mind moving too fast for her to be able to think. Naru looked down at Mai to see that her face was extremely pale. "Mai, what happened?" He whispered, hoping she would be able to answer him. When she still didn't speak he looked up at Bou-san. "Takigawa I want you to take Mai to base until she calms down. Matsuzaki go with him. Mrs. Hara and Father Brown, I want you to walk around to see if you can find anything that could have done this. Yasuhara, I want a list of every person that has died in the church since it was built. I also want a complete history on it." Everyone nodded before going off to do their tasks. Bou-san bent down and wrapped his arms around Mai's back and legs, before picking her up and carrying her away.

Naru stood up at turned towards Detective Masahiko who had pushed past the gathering crowd to see what had happened.

"Will she be alright?" He asked Naru. Naru ignored him as he pushed past him to follow Bou-san to the base. Detective Masahiko, turned and followed him, wanting to talk to him further about this. As they reached the base, Lin open the door for Bou-san who squeezed in and headed for the couch where he put Mai down safely.

"I thought I told you not to get involved with my investigation!" said a Naru as he entered the base, knowing that the detective was following him. Detective Masahiko let the door close behind him as he walked into base. Naru, wanting Detective Masahiko to leave, stayed by the door, hoping he would.

"You did, but I did not, in anyway, get involved in your case!" Detective Masahiko said. "But if you want to point fingers, than I would have to say that you got involved in mine!"

"And how did you come up with that conclusion?" Naru asked as he glared at the Detective.

"That young girl found evidence in a case that I am working on and you gave it back to the suspect."

"And since when is Father Shrio a suspect?" Naru asked, not happy that he was not informed on this.

"Since we found the album." Detective answer in a some-what proud voice.

"You did not find anything. My employee found something and gave it to me. If I had found anything that would have been of useful to you and your investigation I would have happily gave it to you, but you see, there was nothing in there other than photos of people that went to church here."

"And that is very important information!" Detective Masahiko yelled before stopping himself. He looked over towards the couch to check that he had not wakened Mai.

"How is it important information?" Naru asked in a quieter tone. The Detective looked lost for a moment. "Because really, if you just wanted the names of those who go here, I am sure you can just ask the Father and he would be more than happy to give them to you. And even if he did not, there is a mass tonight, which means that you can see for yourself who goes here. Though if that is still not good enough for you, than you could have just asked me. I have a complete list of names and address of everyone who went to this church in the last ten years." Naru said before waiting for an answer. Detective Masahiko tried to think of something to say when the door open and Yasuhara walked in.

"Naru you are not going to believe what I found!" Yasuhara said happily. He then noticed the tension between Detective Masahiko and Naru. "I'll just wait until you are done." He said.

"No I want to hear what you have found to." Detective Masahiko said. Yasuhara looked towards Naru.

"You can go research on your own time, not come in here and demand to see what we found."

"You don't have a choice in this matter."

"And what makes you think that?" Naru asked, curious to see what he was talking about.

"I can arrest you for trying to with-hold information from a police officer, while during an investigation." He said crossing his arms. Naru thought about his for a moment.

"Yasuhara."Naru called. "Make a copy of the information for Detective Masahiko to look at later." Naru said before turning to the Detective. "Now get out."

"Very well." He said knowing that he over stayed. "I will be back for it later." He then turned and walked out.

Naru turned to face Yasuhara and said. "What have you found?"

Mai opened her eyes to find herself in a black abyss. Looking around her saw small lights floating up from nowhere and Mai immediately knew where she was. The only thing she did not know was where Naru was. Mai looked around as she stood up, hoping to see him come out of the darkness and smile at her and tell her everything would be okay.

Mai felt a small tug on her shoulder and when she turned around she found Naru standing there.

"Naru!" Mai yelled when she turned to face him. "What is going on?" Mai asked.

"I don't have enough time to explain, but you need to stop the mass tonight. You need to stop the mass and you need to get out."

"Why do I need to stop the mass?"

"I can't explain but you have to, if you don't something bad will happen" Naru said, sounding worried.

"I will but how am I supposes to do this?" Mai asked. Everything around her was starting to fade.

"You will think of something." Naru said as a white light surrounded him and he, along with everything else started to fade.
