I jumped at the alarm siren that came from my phone and computer. As I bumped my arms on to the desk, the tin of freshly prepared loose Earl Grey tea Brenton brought back for me rattled against the desk.

"Goddamnit, even when I know it's coming, it still gets me!" I said as I looked at the alert on my screen.

|Revenant alert:

-Vincent Balcom has died, death reset started, Vincent will resume control in five minutes

I clicked on the alert and through the live feed of Vincent's eyes I could see Eunie punching at him.

Ok, they got it. Focus and keep working on that research for Vincent.

Search: Elaine Castle Orphanage, 1 Overbrook Way, Castle Hill MA XXXXX. Contain: [Year opened, Year closed, Directors of Orphanage, # of runaways (by year), missing person reports of runaways, articles related to Elaine Castle Orphanage, reports of all children living within Elaine Castle Orphanage.]

I hit enter, then watched as the results came up on my computer.

I wish I had this in my paralegal days.

Year Opened: 1895

Year Closed: 1987

Directors: Elaine Castle (1895-1919), Mildred Castle (1919-1959), Charlotte Castle (1959-1987)

Runaways (Reports Attached)

1898 (1), 1906 (1), 1929 (1), 1941 (2), 1959 (1), 1960 (3), 1961 (1), 1962-1964 (2 each year), 1965-1978 (3 each year), 1987 (1)

Occupancy reports 1895-1987

Based on a cursory glance, its obvious things took a turn when Charlotte took over the place. If four of them ended up in the lake, we still have over fifty children unaccounted for. I'm going to be looking into a lot of reports tonight. Feels like a bourbon night.

I heard my phone beep when I pulled my messages up on my computer screen. I saw two pictures of book pages with "Gorgon's flame" as the title.

|U-U:

-Hey, Seppy got this as his new power. I figured you'd want to know!

|Samara

-Thanks U-U!

|U-U:

-You're welcome!
