Bens body was on a table in the morgue. His eyes had firey-red sockets just like Johns. Nathan looked at the face, seeing if there was any more marks or scars that could be useful. But, of course, zip.
"What do they have in his evidence bags?" Nathan asked his partner.
Audrey looked on another table where clothing and evidence bags were scattered.
"Well, we got some jeans, a shirt, wallet, watch, a cell phone." Audrey grabbed the bag with his mobile in it. "Think this'll give us some clues?"
"Worth a shot." Nathan shrugged and stood beside Audrey.
She unlocked the cell and went into VIDEOS.
"This is from the night he died. Look at the date..." Audrey played the most recent video.
In the video Ben and John were sitting on a park bench. Ben was the one holding the phone.
"So, the weirdest thing just happened! It's like... Freaky Friday shit here. So, we went to like... A bar... And we're probably drunk... Shut up... So, we... I look like Ben right? Ben? No! I'm John. And John's there. John's Ben. Ben is John and Ben is John... I mean John is Ben and Ben is gone.. John.. No, but it's like... It's like a sci-fi thing... I wonder if it had anything to do with what weve been smoking... Shut up. Um, so.. Yeah... Ben over here wants us to go to the hospital but uh... We-We're probably high." Ben said.
"We're not high!" John interjected.
"Shut up. So... So.. So, we're not going to the hospital. I vote we go for another round of brewskies! What, what! Uh.. So, i believe i'm going to throw up.. I don't know why i believe that but I-" Ben started laughing.
"Look, John. I'm going to the hospital or Cathy's." John stood up.
"What? No! Why Cathys? She- She said she didn't want anything to do with me." Ben replied.
"True. And she has good reason to. You cheated on her. With a 2 dollar skank." John sighed "She deserves better."
"What? So you're going to run up to her Cassanova? No, you're not! Because right now she's probably pissed off at me and I-" Ben began to say. Just then a raincloud formed above John. "See, see what i mean. That chick is crazy."
"But this is a sign! A sign that we really need to go to the hospital! Don't you see?" John tried to persuay.
"No!" Ben stood up and began walking away. "No! I don't!" He walked to a car. "Look, i'll settle this right now! I'll look at the mirror, and if i'm you, some magic voodoo crap has happened. If i'm me, then everythings fine!" He looked into the rearview mirror and his eyes began to turn red. They began to bubble and explode. He fell to the ground.
"John!" John ran to his friend. "I-I've got to tell Cathy, she'll-"
VIDEO CLOSED.
"So, a body-swap trouble? But how does that explain the eyes?" Nathan asked.
"Well, they say that the eyes and a mirror are gateways to the soul. Maybe when they don't match up, it causes a massive explosion in the eyes." Audrey shrugged.
"Well, who's the troubled person?" Nathan looked at his partner, knowing full-well who she was going to say.
"The one that ties both of these two together." She explained.
