Michael: "Well we're here the home of our hero."
Christy: "This place is a nasty looking dump. It better worth the trip coming here."
Angel: "This is what you call a haunted house. Old, creepy, nasty and most likely smells like roadkill."
Damien: "Enough guys. Let's go in and take a look around see what we can find. Remember stick together no matter what stay in sight."
The group exit the van and enter the complex that sits on a near deserted street. The only people on the block are homeless vagrants. However they pay the group no mind and leave them be. They enter complex and start walking through the lobby. They reach the front desk and it's scattered with papers covered in blood. A gush of evening wind creeps into the complex and gives the group an unsettling chill.
Damien: "Alright guys we should look for the ledger and see what apartment AJ and Lucy lived in."
Angel: "Christy and I will take the first look. You two keep an eye out for anything suspicious."
Angel and Christy go behind the desk and start looking for the ledger. It's very dusty and full of cobwebs. The sight of it makes Christy feel disgusted. She notices a wooden cabinet and when she opens it a giant rat jumps out and scares her.
Christy: "Jesus fucking Christy I wanna leave this hellhole now!" She shouts.
Angel: "Relax girl it's just a stupid rat."
Christy: "It's a gross rodent the size of a fucking Buick."
Angel opens a door to the office and she enters it. She crosses the threshold see's a desk that's barely being supported and a spin chair that's nearly torn to shreds. She searches a bunch of folders and the desk drawers but finds nothing.
Damien: "Hey guys! I think I found something."
Michael: "What did you find Brody."
Damien: "It's the ledger I found it."
Michael: "Girls! Get over! Damien found the ledger."
Angel and Christy leave the office and head over to Damien and Michael.
Damien: "According to this AJ's apartment is number 13 on the third floor."
Angel: "Well then let's go do this people."
The group then proceed to walk up the stairs and go through semi-long corridors to reach the last floor. When they get to the top they see a blood red door with the number 13 on it all the way at the end of a long hallway. They slowly walk towards door each of them have this tingling feeling within their bodies.
Angel: "Well this is it the moment of truth."
Michael: 'No turning back now."
Christy: "Time to finish this."
Damien: "Alright now let's do this."
Damien opens the door and they enter the darkened apartment. The group pull out their iPhones and turn on the flashlight. They shine it all over the room. They see the walls covered in cobwebs and mildew.
Christy: "This fuckin' place smells like a goddamn sewer."
Angel: "I second that with flying colors."
Damien flashes his light to a small living room that has a worn out couch, broken curtains, and an entertainment center with tons of movies.
Damien: "Hey guys! come here."
The group goes to the living room to catch up with Damien.
Michael: "What's up Brody."
Damien: "Look at all this stuff. Wall to wall of movies and videos games."
