The Ghost Trap:
Milo and Raphael were in their, room Raphael was playing the piano and Milo was tightening strings in the room and it looked like a big web.
"He's telling me that I don't understand what if takes to be a detective, I'll show him who a real detective is," said Milo.
"Can you do that a little more quite?" Asked Raphael.
"Mister has a footstep goggles, like that is so important," said Milo.
Milo had finished putting up the last string.
"Here we go, I'll show him how a real detective catches a ghost," said Milo.
"What are you even doing?" Asked Raphael.
"I can't tell you that, but if the ghost walks in later and he puts his little ghost steps on the cord, kablam," said Milo.
In the meantime Percy was at the door, he grabbed his fingerprint brush, just about to put it on the doorknob, when he heard someone approaching and quickly put it in his pocket. Percy turned and saw Arlene walking.
"Hey, hello, Percy," said Arlene.
"Hello," said Percy.
Back in the boys' room, Raphael was still playing the piano, Milo had grabbed his pillow and was walking toward Raphael.
"Hey, are you playing again? Are you practicing for the musical?" Asked Milo.
"This is Chopin," said Raphael
"Is that the name of a musical?" Asked Milo.
"It is Chopin," said Raphael.
"Is that a musical?" Asked Milo.
"Okay, I'm done," said Raphael.
"Dude, watch out where you're walking, dude my ghost trap," said Milo.
Raphael got up and bandaged his way through Milo's trap and left the room.
"So, he has a short fuse," said Milo.
Milo sat down on the floor and put his pillow between himself and the wall.
"Now we wait until the ghost arrives," said Milo.
At the same time, Percy was still getting new fingerprints, but the doorknob, like the glass, was completely clean. Percy put away his brush and grabbed his recorder.
"Crime scene, the tracks have been cleaned, suspect A was in the hallway earlier when I started the investigation, that's all," said Percy.
In the meantime, Skyla and Anastacia had come home, Anastacia was in the bathroom and Skyla was reading the book she got from store.
"Witches know a lot about herbs," said Skyla, as she read to book. "Here, witches have special abilities, they are sensitive for phantasms and have supernatural powers."
Skyla thought she heard something and turned around but saw nothing, she turned around again a looked at Mouse.
"That girl, that girl was a phantasms, just like that mark," said Skyla. "So Milo is right, but I don't want to be a witch, I just want to be normal."
Skyla grabbed Mouse and hugged him tightly.
In the meantime in the boys' room, Milo had fallen asleep. Percy entered the room and a net fell on top of him, Milo woke up to the sound.
"Yes, the ghost! Dude, I've caught the ghost! Percy! Percy, I've got the ghost!" Said Milo.
Milo got up and walked toward his trap, but to his surprise the best was not trapped in the net, but Percy was.
"Milo!" Shouted Percy.
"Percy?" Asked Milo.
"Get me out of here right now," said Percy.
"Yeah, of course, dude," said Milo.
Milo removed the net from Percy and helped him up, Percy bounded and way through the ropes and walked toward his desk.
"How did the investigation go?" Asked Milo.
"Someone cleaned the tracks, the door knob was clean," said Percy.
"What? But, dude the last time", said Milo.
"Exactly, we have a very smart opponent, this means that we've to stay alert and be less flashy," said Percy.
"What's wrong with my ghost trap?" Asked Milo.
"We've to clean this as fast as possible before Raphael see it," said Percy. "Raphael doesn't know about this, right?"
"This, no, no, of course no," lied Milo.
"That's good, as long as this an ongoing investigation we can trust anyone, not even Arlene," said Percy.
"Arlene? Arlene as in the nicest person alive, Arlene?" Asked Milo.
"I find it very suspicious that her fingerprints have disappeared," said Percy.
Milo slowly began removing the ropes and in the meantime Percy grabbed his recorder.
"Plan B, we'll follow suspect A, we'll get to know her way of working," said Percy.
Percy turned off his recorder and put it away, he grabbed two scissors from the drawer and began to help Milo remove the trap.
A few hours later it was dinner time and all the residents were sitting together at the table.
"Sushi for Anastacia," said Arlene as she put a plate of Sushi in front of Anastacia and gave Milo a plate with a big chicken leg on it. "And the biggest chicken leg for Milo, here you go."
"Thank you," said Milo.
Milo grabbed his sambal and threw it over his chicken leg and began to eat, Percy carefully grabbed his recorder.
"Suspect A is left handed and wears a wedding band," said Percy, after that he took a bit of his dinner. "And she is a good cook."
"Hey Witchy, do you know what they used to do to witches? They put them on a pyre and when..," said Milo, but stopped talking when Arlene walked up.
"Don't you like it, Skyla?" Asked Arlene.
"I do," said Skyla.
"I can make you something else for you if you prefer that," said Arlene.
"No, thank you," said Skyla.
"You know you can always come to me, right?" Asked Arlene.
"Yeah," said Skyla.
"I heard you're working on a musical at school," said Arlene.
Milo swallowed his bite and started singing to Anastacia, but she didn't seem very impressed.
"That's what I meant, you're born with it, or not," said Anastacia.
"Anastacia, I'm challenging you for a duet," said Milo.
"I'm a lead and lead singers only do solo's," said Anastacia. "I've to put that in my contract."
"Yes," said Skyla.
"Are you participating as well, Raphael?" Asked Arlene.
"Well, I don't like musicals," said Raphael.
The phone rang and Raphael got up.
"That's probably my father," said Raphael.
Raphael walked out of the living room. Arlene put down the pan and walked toward the hallway.
"Suspect A has just left the room, I'll follow her immediately," said Percy.
Percy got up and walked to the hallway, he saw that Arlene, was eavesdropping on Raphael who was on the phone with his father. Percy turned on his recorder
"Suspect A is eavesdropping on Raphael, why she is doing this is still unknown," Percy said.
"What did I hear about a musical?" Asked Mr. Haas. "You don't have time for such nonsense."
"I'm not participating, dad,' said Raphael.
"How are you? Can you concentrate? You don't have any distractions, right? Otherwise, you'll come home," said Mr. Haas.
"No, I'm not distracted," said Raphael.
"How are you studies?" Asked Mr. Haas.
"Good," said Raphael.
"What is good?" Asked Mr. Haas.
"I'm trying my hardest dad," said Raphael.
"Trying your hardest isn't good enough, Raphael," said Mr. Haas.
"I know dad, yes, I'll try harder," said Raphael.
Arlene turned and Percy quickly hid, Arlene walked upstairs and Percy followed her and she her entering into the boys' room.
"Suspect A just entered the boys' room," said Percy.
"Ah, there you are," said Arlene.
"Hey," said Percy, as he entered the boys' room.
"I was wondering if you have any special wishers for tomorrow night?" Asked Arlene.
"No," said Percy.
"You're so modest," said Arlene.
The rest of the residents had finished eating, Milo walked into Skyla and Anastacia's room with a rose in his hands, but saw that no one was there.
"Anastacia? Babe?" Said Milo.
Milo lay down on Anastacia's bed and kissed the rose.
"It's just a matter of 10 minutes," said Milo.
Milo put the rose in his mouth, but soon got hurt by the thorns. Milo took the rose out of his mouth and felt his lip and saw that it was bleeding. Milo began to panic.
"The emergency kit! Where is the emergency kit!" Yelled Milo.
Milo looked around, but did not see a bandage box. Milo searched Anastacia's makeup table and grabbed her cotton balls that she always used for her eyes and put them in his mouth. Realsir what he was doing, he spit the cotton wool out on the floor, he got down on his knees and picked up the cotton wool and then saw something under Skyla's bed, he went over to her bed and grabbed the book on witchcraft from under her bed.
"Witches and Magic! I knew it Witch Girl," said Milo.
Milo heard someone approaching and quickly hid the book behind his back. The door opened and Anastacia entered her room and saw Milo, and she was anything but happy to see him in her room.
"What are you doing in my room?" asked Anastacia.
"Surprise," said Milo.
"First I find you in my locker and now you're in my room," said Anastacia. "Have you never heard of privacy?"
"I can explain," said Milo.
Milo gave the rose to Anastacia but she didn't take it, Milo puckered his lips, ready to receive a kiss from Anastacia, but Anastacia grabbed a pillow and started hitting Milo with it.
"Anastacia, I've flowers," sang Milo.
Anastacia started hitting Milo with the pillow again and Milo stopped singing.
"Okay, I'll leave," said Milo.
Again Anastacia started hitting Milo with the pillow and chased Milo out of the room.
In the meantime, Arlene was still in the boys' room,
"You like creamy baked mac and cheese, right?" Asked Arlene.
"Yes, it's my favorite meal," said Percy.
"How about I make that tomorrow night?" Suggested Arlene.
"Sounds great, thanks," said Percy.
"Goodnight," said Arlene.
"Okay," said Percy.
Arlene nodded her head and left the room. Percy sat down at his desk, Milo entered the room with the witches and ran to Percy.
"Dude, I've found something cool. This is proof… number, this proofs that Witch Girl is a witch, dude," said Milo. "Look."
"Do you touch it with your hands?" Asked Percy.
"No," said Milo, as he dropped the book on the desk.
"Evidence is not useable," said Percy.
"What?" Asked Milo.
"Yeah, the book could be yours with all your fingerprints on it, A good detective never leaves evidence behind, never, it's one of the golden…," said Percy.
"Detective rules, I know," said Milo.
Percy grabbed his recorder and turned it on, while Milo tried to clean the book with a cloth.
"Suspect A presumably know she was being followed, I need a new approach, that's all," said Percy, as he put his recorder away. "That doesn't work."
Milo tried to clean it another way, but this didn't work either according to Percy. Milo wanted to dip the cloth into the fishbowl, but Percy stopped him.
"No, no, no," said Percy.
A few hours later, all the residents were in bed. Raphael could not sleep, due to the phone conversation he had with his father, Anastacia was already asleep and was dreaming that she was at her own house, Milo was still playing with his Milo and Anastacia doll, Percy was also still awake and was thinking of a new strategy. Skyla could not sleep at all, she did not feel comfortable in the house, because of the house that keeps appearing, the scary dreams and because of the whole witch thing.
In the meantime, Arlelne was in Kent's study making a report.
"How are the five?" Asked Kent.
"Good, good," said Arlene.
Raphael's father calls a lot, he practice a lot, he barley talks to the others.
Anastacia is used to luxury as we had expected, so it takes some getting used to, but she trust me.
Milo loves mischief, but his tricks are no threat to us.
Percy, though, that with the fingerprints ended well, but it cannot be happening again. He's smart and way too curious, but I'm keeping an eye on him.
Skyla is the only one I can't get through, she is unhappy, I think she is homesick.
"We can't lose her," said Kent.
I'll do everything possible to make sure she stays, Kent," said Arlene.
"Make sure all of them stay in Anubis! Soon the time is be and then we'll incorporate the first on of the Five," said Kent.
Which of the Five will be incorporated first? What happens in such an incorporation ritual? Will the Five find out in time that they are in danger?
