Camden headed back to his office and when he closed the door, he dumped with his back against the door and just decompressed. "What a fucking morning", he said to himself, hoping nothing else out of the norm would come rearing its ugly head. He was in his office for less than 5 minutes when someone knocked on the door. "Go away, I'm having a mental breakdown", Camden said, hoping that would ward them off. "It's me", a voice said, "Joan. I have Hugo and my friend Jeff with me". Camden sighed, standing up and opening the door. He looked at Jeff who had light blonde hair, braces and blue eyes. "Camden this is Jeff", Joan said, introducing the 14-year-old. "Hi", Camden said, narrowing his eyes, "Who's paying for those braces?". "I'm financing them myself", Jeff said proudly, "I know you wouldn't pay for them". "What's the deal then", Camden said, closing the door, "Give me the details. What the hell is up with this crazy building?". Jeff looked at Hugo and Joan. "I don't think any of you are ready for this tale", he said, "It's going to be a bumpy ride so I suggest that you get somewhere comfy to sit". The 4 of them headed over to the sofa Camden had and sat while Jeff stood. The 3 of them were ready for a history lesson.
Jeff looked at his students and smiled. "This building was built in the 1800s", he began, "It has always been an orphanage but it has had several owners and incarnations. The man who built the building was Sven Barlo, a trader who wanted somewhere for bastard children to stay if their parents were wealthy". Camden nodded, keeping up. "Everything was going fine for the orphanage", Jeff continued, "But one day, Sven died of a supermassive heart attack. He had one son and he inherited the whole building. His son was only 17 though and had no idea what to do. His son, Barrett, was an odd fellow and is proven to have killed 5 people. Why do you ask? Because he was a cultist and was heavily into his witchcraft". Joan took Hugo's hand and squeezed it. "So Barrett used the building as a hunting ground and a place to practice his witchcraft", he continued, "But one of his practices went very wrong when he ended up burning down the building with him and the kids inside. That would be the first time the building would burn down or get destroyed". Camden looked at Joan and Hugo; what had he undertaken?
