John POV

"I couldn't." I whispered.
"You could have." Mum argued.
"No I couldn't! He said that if we told anyone we'd be taken away and that we'd never see you again! He said that if we told and he found us he'd..." I stopped mid-rant slapping a hand over my mouth.
Oh no.
"He'd what John?!" Mum demanded.
"Jo?" Rosi asked.
"He'd do what." She growled.
"Let's just all calm down." Lin said
"Shut up!" Mum yelled.
"Jonathan Chance Nite! Answer me now." She demanded using my full name causing dread to fill my heart.
I can't tell her.
"Hana stop it." Grandfather said walking into the room.
"He won't talk to me." She growled.
"Maybe. It's because you're yelling at him." He retorted.
"John." Grandfather said motioning for me to follow him.
Thank God.
"Mr. Koujo. Mr. Davis. Please come with us as well." He said walking out of room. I followed him quickly to his office.
What have I done?
He's going to find out. That bastard always does.
"John are you ok?" Lin asked coming in the office and closing the door behind him.
"No."
"Sit down before you pass out." Grandfather said pulling a seat out from under the table.
"Thank you." I said.
I feel numb.
"Grandpa I can't tell you. I can't! He's back and I don't want anyone to get hurt!"
"John calm down." Grandfather said putting a hand on my shoulder. I flinched involuntarily.
"You said you didn't want anyone to get hurt?" Lin asked.
"I can't tell you. I can't."
I can't breath.
"John calm down. You're going to end up having a panic attack. Just breath." Naru said sitting in a chair in front of me.
"Did he threaten you?" Lin asked.
"I can't..." I started.
"You can. Whatever is said in here will not leave this room." Lin interjected.
"He...he said he would make me watch him hurt everyone I cared about." I whispered feeling a little better.
They know enough to be careful but that's not exactly what he said he'd do.
What he said he'd do is much worse.

Lin POV

He's not lying. He's just not telling us everything.
"John. I'm not going to let that happen." Mr. Nite said trying to comfort him.
"You won't be able to stop him." John whispered.
"Well I can sure as hell try to." Mr. Nite mumbled.
"When do we start officially investigating?" John asked sheepishly trying desperately to change the topic.
"John quit trying to change the subject." Mr Nite scolded.
"Tomorrow morning. That's when we start so make sure you get plenty of rest John." Oliver stated walking out of the room.
"Lin?"
"Yes John?" I asked.
"Masako and I encountered a spirit while we were still in Japan. Her name was Jamina Nazomi she went by Jamie. She moved on but she wanted us to let her mother know that she was in a better place. But I can't find any information on her."
"What was her mother's name?" I asked opening up my laptop.
"Amy Nazomi."
"Ok. Amy Nazomi, age fifty-six. Her daughter was murdered two months ago. She lives in Tokyo and here's her email address and phone number." I stated.
"Thank you Lin." John said wiring down the information on a blue sticky note.
"Anytime John."
"Do you think it would be better to email her or call her personally?" John asked.
"I would email her but you and Ms. Hara should probably call her personally." I stated.
"Thank you.Oh and Lin?" John asked stopping at the door.
"Yes?"
"Do you think that um I could talk to you later?" John asked in Chinese causing Mr. Nite to watch us in confusion.
"Yes. I didn't know you knew Chinese John."
"I learned it from one of our neighbors when I was twelve." He stated reverting back to English and walking out the door.
"Should I call the authorities?" Mr Nite asked.
"No. They would need solid evidence. They wouldn't believe you." I stated calmly.
"I don't know what to do." Mr Nite sighed.
"Mr. Nite?" I asked.
"Yes Mr. Koujo?" He asked from his desk.
"Why does John not trust you? He should trust you more than he does, but he doesn't."
"He told me what his father was doing to him and Joey. I didn't believe him. He wasn't supposed to tell me and he got into an argument with Joey, I presume. It was about a week before Joey died when I started connecting the dots. John is not clumsy, so why did he have cuts and bruises all over him? I realized it all to late. I could not save Joey, but I will do everything in my power to save John." Mr Nite explained.
"We need to gain John and Rosi's complete trust. That's the only way we can help them."
Gaining Rosalie's trust is going to be a challenge, but gaining John's trust is going to be next to impossible.
