Halsey - Ghost
"My ghost, where'd you go, I can't find you in the body sleeping next to me"

"What have we here? Two handsome young girls in ultra mini skirts, bringing me breakfast." Holder smirked getting coffee from the vending machine
"You're early, Holder." Linden said
"Early bird catches the worm. Or, the murder, whichever you prefer."
"Me and Linden found something in Turner's mails. We assume it's some kind of code for something. Still figuring it out."
Holder took a look on the sheet of paper that was the only reliable source we had right now
"HA what's that shit!! Seems like that guy had a good reason to blow his brain all over the wall."
"Can't you stay serious for a quarter of seconds? We're trying to solve a murder here, so tell me. What have you been up to since last night?!"
Holder smiled "you wanna know what I been up to??" He pushed his pointing finger to my lips, sliding it down slowly "I'll show you." He grabbed my hand and pulled me to our office
"Here's your evidence, babygirl." There was a young man sitting in my seat, blonde, maybe in his early twenties.
"Tell miss Davidson what you told me last night, Jimmy."
The young man, who I suppose was called Jimmy, wore a whining expression in his beautifully shaped face matching his black hoodie
"Hold on, who are you?" I asked staring at him
"Oh I'm sorry ma'am, where are my manners. I'm James Montgomery."
"Okay, James Montgomery, what are you here for?"
"Detective Holder came to my house yesterday and asked me about Melanie. We...we were very close."
I sat down "I'm sorry for your loss."
James smiled "my mum used to say god takes care of everyone in heaven, even those who did wrong."
"Okay Jimmy quit the Jesus shit, we're here for another occasion, remember?" Holder spoke crossing his arms across his torso
"Melanie told me that she was leaving for Missouri the night before she went lost. She also asked me to lend her a knife as "she couldn't use her own one", which I found quite strange, but she was into the occult club so-"
"Wait, what club?" I asked
"Oh, Melanie and I were in this club. We are into occultism, black magic. We like...darkness." Jimmy said with his dark brown eyes wide open
"Can you tell us anything about the other members? Did you know them well?"
"Well, there was me, Melanie, her sister Brianna and...I don't know some kid from her school named Dan. Dan...Preston I was his name I believe."
"Did you hurt, Melanie, Jimmy?"
James shook his head "No. Melanie was like a little sister to me. I could've never hurt her, I swear."
"But what about this club? What about Missouri?"
"Davidson, woah, give him some air to breathe." Holder held me back
"I'm sorry ma'am, that's all I know."
"What was she gonna do in Missouri?" I asked trying to calm myself as my anger wouldn't get me too far
"I don't know, in all honesty. But, I swear..." He came closer to me "if I knew anything to help you with your investigations, I'd do my very best."
He then smiled turning his back at us
