Oh didn't you know there are all kinds of differant Nonsense, such as Silly, strange, off the wall, and the list goes on.

Shadowstalker, thank you!

No promlem, your welcome.

Well guys the search for the girl continues. Ive been in contact with Celeste (not that way you pervs'). We are doing a grid sweep, tonight I will catch up with her at an undisclosed location.

This girl got pretty far fpr a walkin' cadaver. Even Duke is havin' trouble sniffin' her out, but he's still on the trail of something.

Ive also paid a visit to the local PD to see if anyone reported anything odd or unusual of the past few days.

A couple of people have reported seein our girl, but I don't think she was all "glowy & ghost like with sad eyes" according to sources (two winos, a hooker, and beat cop who his superiors think was drinkin' on duty). There was like 9 in total, some near the hospital, and some near the river.

I thought we had enough trouble lookin' for one dead little girl, now we have two, and we still can't find either of them.

I'm searchin' out that area now near the river. So I plan to hook up with Cee again later, maybe grab a bite to eat, and plan our next move.

Oh, there was one other report I overherd at the police station, something about two black rotweillers attacking and killing some street preacher last night. I thought it was odd so I thought I would mention it.

Hmm sounds like a Haunting entity has picked up on the girl or at least what happened to her.
I would watch who you call Perv there Ben.

Sounds like Khavik's M.O. You need to look into the victim and see if anything shakes loose.

Ok, so I've been up to the usual routine investigative foot work here. I've been askin' round and checkin' on some things first hand.

This is what I got so far;

We've got 9 sightings of our girl since Monday night.

We had 4 on Monday, and 5 on Tuesday.

Four of those were near the hospital of our walkin' dead girl complete with rotting stitched up arm. Walking very "shakily & zombie like" as a witness put it.

Five of those were reported down here by the river side of a ghostly girl that also matches our description, but whole with no missing arm.

I'm guessing the hand was severed post mortum.

As for the street preacher, he was mualed by the dogs, three witnesses could confirm this (but they are 2 junkies and one homeless man who Im sure was schitzophrenic). Thing is, there is no proof of an animal attack. No saliva, no hairs, nothing. The body however has gone into unusually quick state of rigor mortis.

More on everything when I report in later guys.

PS: Do you guys think Celeste likes Italian, Chinese, or Burgers? Duh....sometimes I need to smack myself.

I'm guessing Italian and Chinese but not the way you meant

Is it possible the ghosty-girl is the girl's spirit and the walking corpse is the body?

Yeah, that is what I figured.
Would explain why Duke lost the scent over here by the river. Well, I ain't exactly equiped to deal with ghosts, but from what I hear, she seems harmless enough. I hope when we do finally find her body, we can put this whole mess behind us and let her spirit rest.

Im gonna stick round here for a bit longer, then head off to reandveu with Celeste.

Later guys.

Ok guys, heres the latest developements here in DC.

There are two girls now; the walking dead and a ghost. I was able to actually confirm the existance of the ghost,
she is haunting the riverside right now, why, thats anyone's guess.

As for Hannah's body (that was the girl's name I believe), we still have yet to find her body anywhere. After tracking down ghost Hannah all day, me and Duke could both use some rest and some grub.

So I met up with Celeste as planned, headed to the local Wendy's, grabbed some food, and we went back to the motel.
Molly was thrilled to see Cee again. Those two just really hit it off. It was kinda cute actually.

Well, after about an hour I got Molly tucked in, and off me and Cee went again bck into the night.

We were patroling a few locks from the hospital, again just another boring sweep. I never knew we had some many derelicts, prostitutes, and junkies on the streets of DC.

Good to see my tax dollars at work...

Anyway, there we were, passing down some alley when we saw those two rotweillers from the street preacher attack. This time they were mauling some
poor bastard. Of course before I can move Celeste is all over the situation.

She went to attack the dogs, asI pulled the guy to safety.
It was a public works worker. I told him to run away and call 911. He took off like a bat out of hell and did not look back. At least we saved this one.

By the time I got back to the alley, I found Cee just standing there with no sign of the two dogs. When I asked her what happened, she said "They just vanished, like wisps of smoke."

Of course Im thinkin' hell hounds, but she told me they were not hell hounds, that when she attacked them, she could not hurt them. They simply recovered and attacked her in response, and she showed me the rappidly healing bite marks to prove it. When I asked what happened to them, she said "that when a delivery truck drove past and its head lights shined down the alley, both dogs simply yelped and were gone like they never existed."

Hows that for strange. Anyway, that takes care of the mystery canines, though Cee thinks otherwise. Right now she went on ahead while I answer some questions to the local PD about the two wild dogs. Cee doesn't deal well with LEO.

Well once again, its back out into the night; gotta catch back up to Cee. I hope we find Hannah's body soon. Things round here are just keep gettin' stranger and stranger.

TTYL Guys.

Compare the worker's duties today with the stomping grounds of the Preacher.

This is just frickin' fantasic. So much for goin' home. Other than Ron and Cee (who by the way sounds like death warmed over), Im the only other one here.

Ok then, maybe we should try to regroup. Duke, go find Celeste. She needs out help right now. I just hope I don't find her and Ron smoochin' in an alley somewhere, I don't have a camera.

Hey, I'm still hanging around...

matter of fact, I have a bit of a new war story.

Crap, I forgot all about you Robin. But I thought that Bert kept you in his duffle bag

Holister go smak yourself in the head for that one.

Considering I'm 6'4", 250-some-odd pounds...
that's one big duffel bag.

What, you don't remember his orange duffle I swear he had a midget living' in that thing that was handin' off his weapons to him.

Seriously...picture this

(Zziippp)

Bert - "Quick Mini-Bert, the C-4 RPG Munition I made while standing on line for coffee!"

Mini-Bert - (Low Squeaky Voice) - " Sure boss, will ya be needing any flashbangs or your .50 Magnum Auto Loader with Infared Target Motion Sensor with the grenade launcher welded to it? "

Bert - " Not right now Mini-Bert, I almost have that fly right where I want him. "

(zzippp)

Have a Nice Day Folks

Why do I get sucked in all the time by you guys and your lunacy?


Anyway

Well another has past us by, and still no sign of the girl. Though I think we are gettin' warmer. We're runnin' out of city to search.

Well I'll fill ya'll in.

After clearin' things up with the local PD, I caught back up with Cee a few blocks down.
I was surprised she waited.
Well, turns ot from a few quick questions that the dead preacher's body went bye-bye
last night, along with the M.E. that was suppose to be examining the body.

Ill do some more digging this morning.

We kept searchin' for a few more hours, but round 4 AM Cee saw I was dead tired. Heck I was up more than 30 hours. I didn't want to, but she insisted with a "We'll find her Ben. "

Hearin' that from her made me believe it. So I went back to the hotel, checked in on Molly and let Shadows "baby sitter"
know when I would be goin' back out.

I only woke up an hour ago or so ago. I hope Cee made some progress, I can see how much finding Hannah's body means to her. Means alot to me too.

I love you Molly.

Have a Nice Day Folks

HAHAHAHA! The old woman I'm staying with looks like she is wondering why I almost fell out of my chair laughing.

Mini-Bert.. nice.

She might even be wondering what the hell that thing you are tapping with your fingers is, too.

Ok, Im at a pizza place across from a Dunkin' Donuts. Hey, its lunch time.

Anyway, I followed up on Bert's suggestion to see if the workman and the preacher had a connection, they did.

The workman was the guy who found the preacher's dead body after everyone else scattered.

Oh, it gets better.

I went to the area morgue to see if Hannah's body showed up over night, no dice, but I did find out more about the street preacher's missing corpse and the AWOL M.E. Turns out the M.E. was performing the autopsy. The assitant left the room for a snack. When he got back, he claims the preacher's corpse was a pie of ashes, and the M.E. was choking on something.

So when he flipped the lights on, the M.E. also turned into a pile of ahses and something that looked like a shadow tore out the vent cover and took off through the ventilation system. The cops think he is either lying or was drinking on the job.

Well I tracked down the A.M.E.
and he said the body of the preacher showed extreme light sensitivity and would burn when eve exposed to a pen light, so the autopsy had to be done in total darkness with passive imaging. He also said that the M.E. also showed the same thing when he died. I told him to forget about it and get some rest. He was really shook up.

Odd huh.

But here's yank the chain time
That workman from last night.
He didn't show up for work this morning. Hum?

After lunch Im gonna track him down. This may not even be connected to Hannah, but I am gonna check it out anyway. I should be back in time to hook up with Ceee again tonight.

Ron, if ya could, see if you remember anything sounding like this from your end.It is makin no sense to me.

Might be another of Khavik's play mates. So be careful Ron.

Uhhh, we were dealing with light sensitive creatures in that other-dimension place.

Well Bert, looks like ya got some splain' to do. Anyway, I don't know about "creature" being used on this one, the A.M.E. said it looked like a shadow out of the corner of his eye and then into the vent and gone.

As for you Ron, still, watch your back. Khavik is a slick SOB, plus Not Me is still out there, somewhere. Can't be too certain he's not behind this either. We already got KT in the hospital (how is he by the way), we don't need you there too.

Damn, tell KT my wishes are with him.

I swear, if I ever get my hands on Khavik I am gonna rip his heart out with a silver drain snake, pull out his fangs with 20lb sledge hammer, and ram a shark dart up his ass.

Any luck with finding Hannah?

We wish KT the best, too.
