Paranormals in Disguise (Our Introductions)

Suspicions Avoiding Disguises

"So Freg Walter, we met again."

"Wait, his last name sounds like my Mom's last name, coach-"

"They're not related, Liam. Back to the topic, we're gonna interrogate you, Walter."

"Interrogating me again? I already said that this accident has nothing to do with me, and can I go back to my restaurant now? You guys busted into my restaurant and grabbed me like you were kidnapping me."

A while ago...........

My coach and I arrived at the restaurant and busted in, my coach told everyone who he is and we went straight to the office and grabbed my late father's boss, "What do you want from me!"

"We're taking you to the interrogation room, calm down," and that's what happened.

"What business do you want with me, Jeffrey?"

"Are you aware that 29 of YOUR employees died in the past including his father?"

"Yeah, so? It's not like I'm the real culprit, remember?" My coach stared at him as if he was tying to threaten him.

"So YOU'RE really the culprit, uncle!" I said with a convinced face.

"When did I say that, buddy?"

"When you said 'It's not like I'm the real culprit', you ARE the culprit!"

"How does that make sense? Buddy, you should let the police handle this case, you're too young to be a 'detective' yourself, looking at your current situation, you're not getting anywhere, just accept reality, Liam."

"I WILL solve this and put the culprit behind bars for life!"

"Liam, don't get ahead of yourself." My coach tried to calm me down.

"What's wrong, Coach?"

"It's nothing."

"See, your coach is giving up already."

"I'm not giving up. I WILL end this era of yours."

"Heh, try me, Jeffrey."

The silent aura became a rivalry aura, since no one is at my Coach's office because he asked everyone to exit his office. My father's boss left the office and now we're at a standstill.

"Now what, coach?"

"We'll figure it out tomorrow, you can rest now, Liam, I have some work to do."

The following evening...

"Hi, Liam!"

"Hello, Clara."

Clara Harmon was my neighbour, my childhood friend and the smartest student in my class, came to 'visit' me through my room's window. "Wanna climb in?"

"Yeah!"

"Then do it."

"What are you doing, Liam? You didn't come to school today, are you still sad? Don't be sad, Liam, You still have me and your mother!"

"No, Clara. It wasn't because of that, I'm trying to solve my Dad's death."

"By yourself?" "Well, I made a friend along the way, he's a detective."

"Wow, so did you catch the guy?"

"It's not that easy, Clara, We don't know what to do anymore, we're still figuring it out."

"Then I wish you the best of luck, Liam! If you have any trouble, you can always come to my place anytime, I wanna help you too!"

"Thanks, Clara, you're the best."

"Hehe, thanks!"

Clara's mother arrived at my room to tell Clara to go home, "H-Hello, M-Mom. H-How did y-you find m-me?"

"Clara, I want to have a talk with you, let's go home," Her mother said with a sinister face.

"NO! LIAM, HELP ME!" Clara cried as she didn't want to go home.

"Bye, Clara. I'll do my best to solve this. Hey, Aunt Harmon, please don't scold her, it's my fault."

"Oh don't worry about it, Liam, I just want to have a talk with her, right, Clara?"

"NO!"

"Clara, you're disturbing the neighbours, one more scream and I won't let you see Liam again."

" *Sobs* Okay, Mom. Bye-bye Liam."

"Bye, Clara, see you soon."

I went to sleep early because I didn't know what to do anymore. That's when I had another nightmare, but this time, I can see clearly. I looked around my surroundings and I thought to my mind, "Wait, this place looks familiar. Is this the pizzeria? The floor has the same pattern as the pizzeria."

"Look behind you," The mysterious 'voice' spoke again. I slowly turn around trembling with fear, and I saw myself, "W-What?"

"That's you a month later, turn around." I did what the 'voice' told me and I saw something that gave me the creeps.

Someone in the pizzeria mascot suit splattering human blood all over, screaming. That's when I snapped, it was the boss who was dying, suffering. I blinked and I saw everything abandoned, like a time leap, I saw the mascot suit too. It was very rotten, holes all over, blood stains too, and that's when the suit rose up, leap at me as if it were trying to kill me, I shielded my head as reflex. Then I woke up, heart was beating faster than ever again, sweating too. I felt something on my right hand, like I was grabbing something, I opened my hand and a piece of paper was there.

"Where did this come from?" I thought to myself.

Something was written on it too, 'FROM NOW ON, WRITE EVERY NIGHTMARES DOWN' is what was written. I was trembling so much like never before, of course I did what it told me since I was an obedient child, I grab a blank notebook and start writing my experience.

Later that same day, I went to my coach and told him everything what happened last night, I showed him the piece of paper too, and all he did was tremble, "That's weird, Liam. Is your father haunting you?"

"Why would he be haunting me instead of the culprit?"

"I don't know, that's my guess. Anyways, got anything for today? I got none."

"I got none too, coach. The only suspect we have is my father's boss, but we don't have enough evidence to prove he's the one."

"We're really in a standstill now. Let's hope your next nightmare can help us."

"Nightmares are meant to be scary, coach, not helpful. I almost wet my pants every time I have a nightmare."

"That's the only way I can think of, Liam."

"Ugh, fine, coach."

"Okay, you can go home now."

After that, I spent my days hanging out with my mother and Clara, waiting for the next nightmare...
