"JUST KICK IT IN!!!"
Jimmy used his flashlight to break the window and the kicked the rest of the glass off, better than cutting his hand more.
"COME ON!!!"
Lizzy climbed out first, hitting the ground hard, she stood up holding her head from bashing her head while climbing out the window.
Oli let out a swear as he had some shards from his attempt to catch his fall, luckily they only had cuts and bruises, while they didn't manage to identify the ghost; They were very much alive.
"Joel?! Are you out here. . .?!"
Joel attempted to run, to radio back up but they couldn't find him in the house so they guessed he managed to flee before the door got locked.
"Joel???"
"Joel; Buddy??"
"He's here!"
Rushing back to the porch, Joel was slumped against the door looking very pale and had a bad head wound, possibly hit with a candle holder, book or. . . Something?
Lizzy stepped towards her husband, feeling his hands and resting her forehead against his.
He was very cold, breathing was a bit slow and his pulse.
"We need to get back to HQ; This is not a house within our skill set."
"But-"
Jimmy couldn't argue back, Oil picked up Joel for Lizzy and they rushed to van, Jimmy walked back and felt a presence looming over him, laughing at him and all he could do was get back to HQ and Lizzy will most likely request a team with more experience tackle this place.

"I'M SO STUPID!!!"
Skizz was drowning in his stupid move in Uno, Impulse and Grian laughing as Tango celebrated his win!
"YEAH!!"
"DANG IT!!"
Impulse chuckled, Grian struggling to breath through his laughing fit and was practically on the floor,"Aw man, better luck next game. Another round, we haven't gotten a new job yet.", Skizz sighed,"Yeah, sure; I'll shuffle this time, hand it over.", gathering the cards, beginning to shuffle them.
"Hey, Scar! How was your job?"
Scar sat next to Grian,"Just a simple check on a ghost they caught; A Demon.", Tango nods,"Nice, want us to count you in?", "Aw, yeah; Who's winning?", Impulse had the most wins, followed by Tango, Grian and Skizz.

"Impulse; May I borrow you and your team?"
Uh oh.
"Sure, be right there; X."

"Joel?!"
They were brought to the ward, Jimmy, Lizzy, Oli and Fwhip had been roughed up, Joel was too but he was asleep in bed with a head injury, he was looking very sick.
"What happened??"
"It was The ghost; We were called down, told to identify it and this ghost is highly aggressive."
"We dunno exactly what happened, since Joel rushed out to try and radio for backup and we found him slumped on the porch."
Scar set his cane down, he then sat on the ward bed and examined Joel.
"Noticeable marks around his neck, real sharp claws. . . He had to have been strangled, the ghost didn't seem to have intention to kill but he does look drained, very pale and. . .", Scar opened Joel's eye,"Unfocused. . . Possibly a spirit that sucks life out of someone; I'd keep eyes on his condition for more answers.", Scar had some connections to the spiritual world; Apparently there was an incident that left him with some ability to communicate with spirits, so he turned to The Team,"You're got dealing with a pretty aggressive one.", "Yeah, Jimmy give them the file.", Jimmy had it tucked under his arm.
. . .
"James; Give them the file."
Jimmy then handled the file to Impulse, upon opening it they saw a very beautiful house-no, some kind of old mansion.
Big mansion, big yard in both the front and back, and basically in Grian's mind; Checked off every single stereotypical haunted mansion you get stuck in and die in, and your body is never found.
"From what we gathered; The ghost isn't bound to the house, but it can't leave the grounds of the house so it can't get past the gate because on our way out the door flung open, and something chased us, but we didn't get a picture."
Xisuma nods,"And, Lizzy has requested, especially until her husband gets better, that a more experienced team steps in to identify the ghost; Now, I'm going to pass this around to every team, this is dangerous and I will understand if anyone passes it down and we can send it to a different agency.", Impulse turned to his team, Scar didn't look apposed, Tango was intrigued, Skizz was thinking and Grian was still somewhat new still but he does sit in the van so. . .
"Can me and my team read over this?"
"Of course."

=

"What do you think?"
Grian was the last of the group to receive the file, Skizz folded his arms,"Well, it does sound and look to be very dangerous and, yes we've done this before; A ghost that isn't confined to the house, but judging from the file this ghost is. . . Different somehow, more aggressive and usually, when a Ghost catches us it tries to take our souls and then kills us, but this one went right for the kill.","But Joel did survive.", "He did but the ghost did something to him.", Grian closed the file, setting it down and turning to the group.
"We could go, check it out and see if there's anything we can and if not, we can always pass it."
Tango nods,"Yeah, probably best to check it out.", Skizz nods,"Okay, we go down, we check out how bad this is, report and leave.", Tango gave a thumbs up.
