Looking for KT is a seperate job, Brutal.

But one I'm willing to foot the bill for.

Drop what you're doing Brutal.

Get to Chicago yesterday.

You know, there aren't very many people who can actually pull that off...

For a guy like me who can see and speak to just about anything ethereal naturally without concentration or effort, it’s always awkward the first time you catch your partner’s Spirit Guide out the corner of your eye. Although this was not the first time that I saw Anne’s while doing undercover work, I’m not here to talk about how Spirit Guides react to their Mediums’ undercover behaviour. As Anne—that was Monocle’s name this week—and I were getting re-re-reacquainted with each other we were interrupted by an onslaught of spirits.

Many of them were speaking excitedly and only a few words could be understood from them. They were saying things like “take me with you!” and “he’s here!” I rolled off Anne and started to gear up as I gave the radio alert to everybody to secure Hannah. I was getting all my kit on and asking the spirits to explain what the hell was happening but they weren’t having any of it, as they were clearly preoccupied with “him”, whoever “he” was.

“Ready?” I asked Anne. She had got out of the bed herself, a little shaky in the knees but that’s to be expected. She had pulled a 9mm from a holster on the bedside table after pulling on my t-shirt. She nodded and said, “yea, let’s go.” As we rushed through the hallway the spirits quieted down a little bit and their mood had changed dramatically. Either road they were at no time really interested in talking to me.

They had been all excited and unable to contain themselves, as it were. But now they were depressed as if they had just missed catching a glimpse of Elvis.

Kolya was already at Hannah’s door waiting for us. From the outside I scanned the room inside. There was nothing of note in the room. That was strange. “He’s gone!” one of the despondent spirits lamented. “We’re too late!” it continued.

“Stay to my left at all times,” I explained to Anne. I gave Kolya the signal and he ripped open the door. We poured into Hannah’s room, but there was no sign of her or anything else for that matter. We looked everywhere around and there was no sign of a struggle or forced entry. There was one thing that seemed a little strange, however. There was a knife laying in the middle of Hannah’s bed as if she had been sitting there playing with it and then just got up and left. I managed to get Natasha on the satellite phone and she had a long conversation with Peter, Sebastian’s business partner. They were talking about symbols or something. Meanwhile, Mack, Anne, and Peter were to have a look at the knife and anything else laying around for psychometry.

I’m not going to speculate now so more information just after we have some time to think, brainstorm, and talk things over with folks here and there. All I can say is that between Anne's phantom odours and all the sensitives around and so forth the presence of death was unmistakable.

However, Hannah is not dead.

At the time of Hannah’s disappearance, Mack was doing some oil changes and routine maintenance on the vehicles after the long drive we had, Kolya was cleaning a few guns, Anne and I were getting to know each other in strange but new and interesting ways, while Sebastian and Darcy were somewhere outside walking. They noticed some gusty winds but nothing else. What Hannah was doing is unknown except that she was alone in her room.

Oh dear...

A rescue mission for Hannah has been launched.

Wish them luck.

What about me?

Sorry, looks like I kinda missed al of it. But I'm always a little skeptical myself about these bizarre sorts of posts. Sometimes I wonder myself if theres nothing wrong with them, and they just want attention.

I haven't read everything yet Nemesis, so don't see that statement above as an attempt at impugning your character.

I am glad to see you have returned safely Hannah.

But I suspect there are safer ways to travel.

Hannah wrote:I suppose that maybe calling on the personification of death wasn’t the best idea I ever had,

No. It really was not. If your dad's done yelling at you, I may have a go. We were worried sick about you, Hannah.

Oh, if it seemed like I was suggesting anything parental... no. I'm only like five or six years older than her.

My urge to yell and scream has other motivations.

Something which Sebastian has been yakking at me since I made that post.

One of these days I'm going to learn to be more careful about what I post where he can read it.

Lectures aside, I'm just glad he's back to normal. And I'm glad Hannah is back as well.

Sorry, I wasn't available to address this when you posted Mr. Skinner. And I have been preoccupied since.

It was, as you originally surmised, a cry for help. Which, I'm glad to say, many answered. It surprised me, to be honest.

Of course, it was too good to last.

Oh Irony. Thou art a teenaged girl.
