Chapter 5
A light knock on the office door brought Naru out of his daydreaming.
"Hey Noll. I have good news, bad news and worse news which one would you like first?" Lin asked walking up to his young boss.
"Good news" Naru said back
"Okay good news. We may have a new case." Lin replied
"Bad news." Naru was slowly getting bored of this
"It is one that the Davis' have asked you to take." Lin said getting a little more uncomfortable
"And the Worse news" Naru asked cautiously as he noticed his friend back up a bit.
"There in Japan." Lin said not making eye contact with his now fuming boss.
"WWHHAATT!" Naru yelled. Making the team outside the door shut up and listen to what was going on.
"Yeah" Was Lins reply he could not think of anything that could calm the young man down.
How long till they…" Naru was cut off from his anger rant as the bell to the office door had just chimed.
"NOLL MY LITTLE BABY WHERE ARE YOU?" A loud female voice sang through the air in English.
"God help us all" was Narus short reply as he made his way out of his office to face his parents. Martin and Luella Davis.
"Mother, Father it is advisable that you call first before dropping in unannounced" Naru scolded.
"Noll" Luella whined
"Naru" He corrected.
The rest of the gang stood frozen at the encounter that had just taken place.
Taniyama Mai, Matsuzaki Ayako, John Brown, Yasuhara Osamu, Takigawa Hōshō these are my parents Martin and Luella." Naru introduced them
"Nice to meet you" They all said together.
"We have details of a case that a friend of ours has requested we take, but we want to run it by you and your team first" Martin begun getting straight down to the point of their visit.
"Lin get your laptop and note this down. The details of this case and the location are?" Naru asked.
"Right a friend of ours in America wants us to investigate a haunted mansion in a remote area in Tennessee. About a year ago nothing out of the ordinary occurred there. But when the new owners of the house went to move in they could hear rapping and banging sounds, the screams of young women, the sound of a fight will go on and the local residents of the town have lately been seeing the bodies of two young women and a man standing in the windows of the old house on looking the small town. We have been called to go in and exorcise the spirits out of the house for the new tenants." Martin concluded while looking at his son closely to see if he and his team would like to join them as well.
"It is obvious that this case was intended for you. So why do you come here to bother me about it?"
"Well Noll we thought it would be a good idea to spend some time with you and to get to know your team" Luella chirped up from her place on the sofa next to Mai giving him one of her motherly smiles to go with it.
"What was the address for this case?"
"Umm it is number 17 on Howling Road it is the biggest house in the small town of Mayflower Grove." (totally made up ^_^) Martin answered thoughtfully as if he wasn't sure.
We have all the expenses covered and enough rooms for your team to come along. Madoka has agreed to come as well but she will be going us later"
"17 Howling Road, Mayflower Grove. I know that place." Realisation hit Naru and he suddenly paled and sat down.
"Noll are you..." Luella was interrupted by a still very pale Naru.
"We're not taking this case" Naru said bluntly.
"Yes we are" Martin retorted
"No we're not" Naru shoot back resembling that of a toddler argument
"And why aren't we?" Martin questioned
"Because that's my house" Naru answered sadly refusing to make eye contact with his father.
"Excuse me?" Luella asked in a stern yet motherly tone knowing to right that his home was with them in England.
"17 Howling Road, Mayflower Grove that's my house the spirits haunting it are probably my mother, father and Lian-Li our friend." Naru replied beginning to go back into his earlier emotional self.
A gasp of shock was heard from the group and Lin had stopped typing to go back to comfort Naru again.
"Well Oliver then this case is the finally way for you to say goodbye. We already accepted the case whether you agreed or not. Everyone please be ready to leave for the airport tomorrow, be here at 8'O clock." With that the Davis' were gone. Leaving a bewildered team and a pissed off Naru behind them.
