ASHLAND STREET

Sam leads Diana into a Dark And Creepy
Warehouse.

"So what exactly are we looking for?" Diana Asks

"I'll let you know when we find it." Sam Says as they split up, Sam checking up a flight of stairs and Diana continuing on the lower level. She turns towards a window and sees Claire, standing by the window. The ghost struggles to talk.

"Sam? Sam? Sam!" Diana Says As Sam runs down the stairs to Diana, the ghost disappears.

"Hey! Hey, I'm here, what is it? What happened?" Sam Asks

"Claire.." Diana Says

"Where?" Sam Asks

"She, She was here" Diana Says

"Did She attack you" Sam Asks

"No. No, she was just like, reaching out to me. She was over there by the window." Diana Says, The window is blocked by a shelving unit.Here, help me move this."

"All right." Sam Says As They shove the shelves aside, revealing the window. It is labeled from the outside: ASHLAND SUPPLIES

"Our little mystery word." Diana Says As They turn to see a shadow on the opposite wall, casting the words into clear reflection.

"Now the extra letters make sense." Sam Says As he pulls out his EMF reader and approaches the opposite wall.

"What is that?" Diana Asks

"Spirits and certain remains give off electromagnetic frequencies." Sam Says

"So if Claire's body was here, that would indicate that?" Diana Says

"Yeah. Well, that's the theory." Sam Says As The EMF reader purrs as he waves it over the brick wall. He turns. Sam starts breaking through the wall with a sledgehammer. When he's knocked out a sizable hole, he pokes his flashlight inside.

"Yeah. Yeah, there's definitely something in there.
He starts breaking through the wall with elbows and fists. You know? This is bothering me." Sam Says

"Well, you are digging up a corpse." Diana Says

"No, not that. That's, uh, that's pretty par for the course, actually." Sam Says

"Then what?" Diana Asks

"It's just, I mean, no vengeful spirit I've ever tussled with wanted to be wasted, so why the hell would Claire lead us to her remains? It doesn't make any sense. He's broken open most of the wall.All right, here. Give me a hand." Sam Says, Together they pull out a shroud-wrapped body and place it on the ground. Sam pulls out a pocket knife and cuts the ropes holding the shroud together, uncovering her. Diana holds out her wrists.

"Her wrists. Yeah, they'd be bruised just like yours?" Sam Says As Diana notices a necklace on the corpse and touches it cautiously.

"That necklace mean something to you?" Sam Asks

"I've seen it before. It's rare. It was custom made over on Carson street. she reaches into her neckline
I have one just like it. Pete gave it to me." Diana Says
