+Police Plaza, few minutes after they left Fowl Manor.

Holly immediately walks towards the elfin crowd of the police plaza followed by Artemis. Elves were used now to have human company. Not actually any human, just Butler and Artemis.

“How do you know about it anyway?” Artemis asked to Holly.

“It may seem like simple earthquake but we felt it here... We are almost near at the core and Haven felt the strange shock on earth... More than that, N.1 felt sick just after the shock, saying something likes ‘bad entities are coming’... He was only visiting then he fell ill. He is now in Dr. Argon’s care. We watched the news on PPTV...” Holly informed.

Entity, Artemis thought. As they arrived in the front of Ops Booth, Foaly, the technical consultant of the LEP, unlocked the door from inside clearly waiting for them. As the duo enters, they saw the current commander of the LEPrecon Unit, Commander Trouble Kelp.

“Settle down now.” Trouble ordered.

“What’s the situation?” Artemis said, eager to know the information so he can formulate the plans and possibly to know the succession rate of it.

“The entities have calmed down a bit.” Foaly informed, obscurely.

“What entities?” Artemis asked.

“Entities from another side... Probably from the world of the...dead.” Foaly said.

“Are you talking about spirits?” Artemis asked again. To whatever they’re facing now, it’s not like the enemies they faced before.

“Spirits might be a general term... No one knows what it is yet.” Trouble said.

“Can we just go there and held them away?” Holly asked.

“Negative. These are dangerous and we don’t know what exactly they are so we need more information.” Trouble answered.

“Anyways, I hacked the securities system and files of St. Laureth... Not an easy one, they have different systems than most companies of humans. They are really hiding something.” Foaly stated.

“What did you find out?” Holly asked.

“St. Laureth had been an associate of Department of Paranormal Activity a long time ago...” Foaly paused waiting for an interruption but nothing came, a sign for him to continue and finish.

“I have checked the patients’ record from St. Laureth to see if there was something that is different and, as always, I am correct. This gets my attention...” Foaly showed them the document of one patient. However, the records are clean. Literally and figuratively, nothing was written in the document, though it has a patient number, something had been a patient for number 19427.

“Can we gather more information about patient 19427?” Artemis asked.

“I checked it with the files from D.P.A., 19427 was there and our runaway is a girl who escaped from the Asylum ten years ago.”

“Can we track her down?” Trouble asked. “We need to ask her if she knows about what happen in the Asylum now.”

“For now, it’s negative. However, we can track her by knowing the places she went before she gets the tracker out of her systems.” Foaly answered.

“There’s a tracker inside her?” Holly asked, surprised. “Why?”

“Apparently, there was...  Based on the records of D.P.A. who kept track on her, she escaped the asylum in early 2003. Maybe she had it because our girl is unusual. She didn’t permanently stay in one place...”
