"So, what's the history of the house? Anything that sounds out like that could pinpoint what we're looking into?"
Skizz opened the file, Stress had done research as best as she could on the place but according it her, it was pretty hard.
"According to what she could find, it use to belong to a pretty powerful family, turned into an orphanage and closing down.", Gem shuddered, she was somewhat new to the job like Grian but she was more into the research part of the job, but. . . She had no idea why she asked to join their team, she really didn't.
Skizz was in the passenger seat, Impulse was driving, Scar, Grian, Tango and Gem were all in the back of the van.
Grian was asleep, Scar was was petting his cat Jellie, Tango was messing with his fire abilities while Gem was digging her nails into her palms.
That was scary to know it use to be an orphanage. . . She's watched too many scary movies to see where this goes.
Ghost children.
"Try and relax Gem; You don't have to come in."
Impulse adjusted the rear mirror to look at her,"Oh no, I do wanna help you guys.", Impulse wasn't sure, but Skizz convinced him to let her join them as it would help her gain experience and she was in school to be a doctor.
"Hey, Dads: When are we going to be there?"
"First off."
Impulse adjusted the mirror again, catch Scar's smug smile,"I'm not your dad, nor if Skizz and I married; Second off, we're nearly there.", "You said that ages ago.", "Tango shush.", Impulse drove up a hill, overgrown path, trees and felt like he was in a horror movie as he gripped the wheel more tight.

But once coming out the over end, they were met with a large house, surrounded by gates but also the woods.
The house had a large yard, overgrown grass, trees but a clear up right up to the house.
Skizz whistled as they parked,"Weren't kidding when you said it was a big mansion.", "Nope; They turned into an orphanage but then it closed to unknown reasons.", putting the car in park, Impulse turned to his passengers.
Scar nudged Grian awake,"Huh-?", "We're here, take a minute to stretch your legs and then we'll get the equipment out.", Impulse put the car in park, and Skizz turned to him,"Should I keep the engine running? That could waste the battery or gas.", Impulse looked at the tank,"Well, in case we need to make a getaway.", Skizz nods, true and so they both got out to get a sense of where they were and the house.
The house had a big iron gate, alongside a big stone wall that was covered in moss, leaves and thorns.
"Shame. It seems like a nice place."
"Mhm."
Scar liked the place already, but he can sense a presence or more, Grian didn't leave the van and Gem felt like she had to practically drag herself out of the van.
"Okay, Grian: I'll set up stuff in the van for you."
"Oh uh; I'll help you."
Grian rushed to help Tango.

Computer was set up, Grian tested his headphones and mic.
"Testing?"
"Yep!"
Scar gave a thumbs up.
"Loud and clear."
"Everything is online, everyone have a crucifix, spirit box, salt, books and etc?"
"Yep!"
Gem nods, putting extra batteries in her pocket just in case.
"Grian."
Grian turned around,"You sure you wanna stay here?", Grian gave a thumbs up,"No problem, just make sure to connect me to the house so I can see what you guys.", Tango had all the cameras ready.
"Okay; Keep in touch."
So Grian was alone, Grian's noticed his knuckles were white from him clutching his fist, he tried to relax himself and watch from the van as the others went inside the walls.

Walking up the path was the worst. . .
Scar said he was fine to use his cane, not his wheelchair so he was walking as he spoke to Tango.
Gem stared at the overgrown grass, bushes overgrown, roots in the path even of weeds and roots from plants.
It was so scary, it didn't help there was a lonely swing hung on the huge weeping willow.
"Hey."
Skizz took her hand, offering a smile of comfort,"I'll stick by you.", Gem nods, trying to calm herself down.

Approaching the porch, they had a lot of ground to cover to get an idea.
"Okay; I say we split up into teams, some should stay outside to get an idea of the grounds and the others will go inside."
Skizz nods,"Hey Tango?", "Huh, yeah?", Skizz points to the house,"You wanna take on the house, me and Gem can check out the yard and it is her first time out of the field.", Tango nods, that was fair and he would probably burn the overgrown grass.
"Yeah, no problem. Besides, I wanna get a picture of this ghost."
Scar nods,"So it's settled; Skizz and Gem have the grounds and have the house.", Impulse turned to Skizz,"Call me on the radio if something happens.", "No problem, man.", "Yeah, be sure to call dad.", Impulse gave Scar a smack on the head as he laughed and Skizz, Gem went and disappeared around the corner and Impulse unlocked the door.
