Special Chapter: The Great Oliver Davis meets the Boy (?)

Ignoring the first visible grey hair on his head from the mirror, he returned to his desk before turning on his computer. He rolled up his sleeves before typing down his idea about a scene in his new book. Fiction has not always been his favorite genre but after being convinced by a particular brunette, he finally started to write a novel yet believable book about ghost hunting. 'Haunted Bribe,' the title wasn't his favourite choice but he didn't want to disappoint the woman who inspired him to write the book. Convincing him wasn't that difficult; it was thinking about the plot and the characters involved.

"Dr. Davis." Oliver heard his intercom but chose to continue typing. "Jean is on her way to your office."

Upon hearing her name, Oliver Davis leaned back in his seat and watched as the door being opened by the young lady at the other side.

"I'm back, Dad!" The beautiful 17-year-old child whom he raised smiled standing happily beside the wooden door. She was wearing her mother's brown coat with a white sleeveless dress underneath it. With his eyes noticing her light makeup and her curly hair, he realized that his baby girl was no longer a baby.

"I thought you'd arrive tonight." Oliver couldn't control himself any longer, he walked towards his daughter and gave him a warm embrace.

"Well, I wanted to surprise you." Jean dropped her hands to the side, walked towards the coffee table and poured a cup of tea for his dad and herself. Oliver closed the door of his office and sat beside her.

"I'd say, it is my first time seeing a grey hair on your head." Jean squinted her eyes noticing it.

"Coming from my own daughter- I'd say it's your fault for making me look so old."

Jean chuckled before sipping her tea. She placed the teacup down and turned her full attention to his father. She smiled before reaching out for his hand. There was a second of silence and a moment of hesitation. But, Oliver Davis finally found the courage to ask. "How's your mother doing?"

Jean held her father's hand and looked down before confronting him. "Mum is doing well." She said followed by a small sigh.

"I am more worried about you, dad." His daughter looked at him with concern.

"You don't have to worry about your old man." He wrapped his arm around her and gave her a small peck on her forehead.

"Dad, come on." Jean pulled herself away and then sighed. "Ever since you got divorced, you still keep on addressing mum as a wife," Jean observed his father's shoulder as he his shrug and his face as he broke eye contact.

Oliver Davis shook his head and stood up. "You're not allowed to do that to me." He pulled his coat tugging it as he walked back to his desk. He felt sensitive to talk about her mother.

"What?" Jean leaned back and watched as his father looked guilty. "You promised me you wouldn't read me." She tilted her head and continued to survey her father anyway.

"I did, and I'm not making any conclusions with what I have discovered dad." Jean crossed her arms and couldn't help but notice her father's facial expressions.

17 year old, Jean M.C Davis was raised by Oliver Davis in her first seven years in life until her mother, Mai Taniyama, surfaced from being dead to missing and finally found. An average family wasn't the right description for Jean's family. Though, Mai and Noll tried their best to give Jean a typical child's life; that would mean a standard way of education. For Noll, he didn't want to pressure his daughter with her skills and her knowledge. But for Jean, she tried to finish her studies early to travel and help his father in his researches. As she wished, Jean completed her dissertation for her doctorate in psychology. Jean didn't expect that her right shift of career would happen the next thing after she graduated.

"I know you're hiding something from me." Jean sighed and stood up. "I'll change for the benefit later." Slowly walking to her father's desk with her hands behind her, She shyly approached him with a doubtful face on her. "I am also bringing someone to the benefit later." Awkwardly stretching her hand putting them together as she rolled her eyes to the side and avoided her father's reaction. But she peaked on his actions and noticed that he didn't get it. "I won't be surprised if you're bringing Emily with you. I'm pretty sure she got invited as well."

Curling her lip inward and silently walking to the other side of the table with her arms bent like in prayer she looked at him and admitted. "I'm taking someone else to the benefit and you can't be rude to him." Jean nervously thought she could speed-talked her way out of it.

The word 'him' unconsciously rang inside Oliver's head. It didn't take him a nanosecond to realize that his daughter was bringing a date to the benefit. For that second, Oliver Davis froze in front of his computer. He was stunned and couldn't think of a 'him' he could meet. That second felt like a future of her daughter just flashed before his eyes with an aggressive and abusive man.

"Dad?"

Jean eventually noticed his quiet reaction and thought of bringing him back to reality. As she was about to give him a nudge, Jean flinched as his father turned to her with his lip curled into a smile saying.

"I'd like to meet him." But Jean saw that his eyes were as icy as the ninth circle of hell. Jean quickly stepped back and chuckled with fear. "Alright, see you later." Swiftly, she walked away from the office and pulled out her phone and begun typing. Madoka passes by her as she was going the opposite direction from her father's location. One question led Madoka to ask why the young Davis daughter was rushing with a worry all over her face. The question was about to be answered by her former student.

"Noll, I see that Jean has returned from Jap-." The moment Madoka entered the room, her skin felt the cold like the ninth circle of hell.

A/N: This special chapter has nothing to do with the main storyline! Hi Guys! I am slowly updating all of our pending Ghost hunt stories and will soon be releasing another ghost hunt fanfic. I have been wondering if you guys are up for a raffle. Yes, A raffle! We are thinking about raffling a ghost hunt manga from volumes 1-7. But first, you will have to know that this raffle is limited in the USA only. Well, we have been thinking of making this raffle international but it will all depend on our inactive co-author. (She is currently holding the 7 volumes of ghost hunt and is the one responsible for shipping it.) I decided to contribute to this raffle as well, but my contribution is not a ghost hunt manga but crime/suspense books of the Temperance Brennan novels by Kathy Reichs and a couple of Anne Rice and Bram Stoker novels as well. I have to be completely honest that these books are used but not abused. We will be updating the raffle in skabalino-dot-com and here with our fanfiction ghost hunt stories updates. AGAIN WE MIGHT BE RAFFLING GHOST HUNT MANGA VOL 1-7. The manga is getting harder and harder to find because it's expensive. -Cathy.
