The two boys, Chester and Parker were in Parker's car. They had a long going YouTube channel called Luxury Pranks where they often posted videos of the two boys, Parker and Chester investigating strange entities and paranormal occurrences in the victims homes. Currently, they were on the way to investigate a home. Parker was driving as usual and Chester was in the passenger seat with his sunglasses on ignoring the fact that it was two in the morning.

"Are we almost there yet?" Chester spoke up. He was getting a little impatient since this had been such a long and exhausting drive.

"Yes. About five minutes away, please just be patient man." Parker sighed, Chester's ongoing complaining really gave him a headache. But without Chester it would've been lonely and just not the same so of course he had to put up with him. He was his best friend and has been for the longest time now.

Finally the boys pulled up to the house and Parker pulled out the camera, ready to record and "document" where they were and at what time for the videos. However as he reached to grab it, Chester grabbed his arm and squeezed it.-
"Wait."

"What now, Chester?" Parker sighed.

"I don't like the look of this house dude. It's really creeping me out." Chester usually said things like this, it was nothing new. But even though it may seem silly, this was their only source of income. The only reason why they still had food on the table and a roof over their heads, so they had no choice.

Parker groaned and shook his head, with a big frown. "We've already come this far, we can't just give up now man. Plus, we do this for a reason. Not just for money but to help people."

"Yeah well I like living!" Chester spoke up. "I don't want to die in some creep house like this!"

Parker sighed, shaking his head and grabbed the camera, completely ignoring Chester. "Whatever dude." He turned the camera on and placed it down. Now, he was speaking to the lens. "Alright. We've just arrived at the house. The girl who contacted us is named Mary. She says that there has been some weird noises coming from her basement and it sounds like screeching. She even sent us a video for proof. We're about to go inside and meet her for the first time."

After Parker and Chester end the clip, they start a new one and walk up to the doorstep. Parker knocks on it confidently while Chester shakes his head in disbelief at how stupid his best friend is. A woman who looked to be in her early twenties answered the door and opened it for them to come inside.
"Are you Mary?" Parker asks, and the woman in response nods her head yes.
"Yes, thank you so much for coming. I don't know what is in my basement but it's really freaking me out... At night I hear screaming and screeching. But when I go down there in the morning there's usually nothing."

Parker furrows his brow and leans back with that serious expression on his face he always had. " .."Usually" ?" He asked it as a question, confused what she meant by there was *usually* nothing down there.

The woman sighed. "Well, I went down there the other day and there was scratch marks all over the wall with an unbearable smell- I just can't even think of it- it makes me nauseous.."

Parker nods his head. "Alright. Me and Chester are going to stay the night for two days, for tonight we'll sleep in the car and for tomorrow we'll stay in the guest bedroom. We'll set up cameras tomorrow morning so when night falls we can see what's going on."

"Thank you guys so much. I really appreciate it." She smiles, and Parker nods in his head as if to say you're welcome without even saying it. "Get some sleep Mary. We'll see you in the morning." Parker cut the cameras.
