As the sun went down Jack gathered up all his things. He had been stuck in his office most of the week trying to solve a case. Jack was a tall man who had brown hair and dark green eyes he also looked to be about in his mid 20s or 30s. He knew that once he was finished with it there would still be more and more cases coming his way. As he locked up his office he happened to notice someone sitting at his desk. “Hey!” he shouted The person just looked at him and then vanished “What the?” he thought He couldn't believe what had just happened, why was there a ghost at his desk? He just just decided that it was just an illusion from all the stress on that case he had been working on for months. So he left his office and walked out to his car. A few minutes later he arrived at a big mansion which only consisted of him and his part siamis and part calico cat. He didnt have enough money to hire a butler or a maid to keep his home nice and tidy. He kind of felt like a poor man in a rich man's home. As he entered the bedroom he saw his cat stretched out, walked over to him, and gave a small meow. Jack picked up his cat and went over to his desk. He sat there puzzling on what had happened. Then the phone rang “Hello?” he said He thought he could hear a faint haunting voice coming from the other side of the line. "Help me" the voice said
“Help with what? All of the sudden the phone yanked out of his hand and pulled out the top drawer of his desk. A file from his desk floated out and landed on his lap. He sat there still a little spooked out while the pages of a case file turned and turned then stopped. On the page was a picture of that same guy who was at his desk a few minutes earlier. On the file was a picture of a old man that looked to be about in his fifties, he also had slightly grayed hair and hazel blue eyes. The name on the file read “Marcos Rivera” Wasnt this man setenced to death a while ago he looked some more to see if there was any more description about this man. Nothing just description on how tall the man was. Then he saw that same ghost appear outside of his bedroom window. “What do you want me to do? I wasn't taking care of that case someone else was.” he shouted The spirit looked at him and then headed in the direction toward the police station. Jack decided that he would follow it and see what it wants. So he followed it and it brought him to the place where he works. It stood there and headed into the wall of the building. Jack continued to follow it. When he was inside he saw the ghost inside an office of the old retired detective named “Carlos Lee” The ghost stood there pointing at the drawer of the desk. Jack went inside and opened the drawer of the desk. Inside there appeared to be a long thick and heavy pipe that seem to have a dent in it. He looked threw the drawer some more but all he could find was the pipe. “OK” he thought to himself this ghost that stood before him was framed. He decided that he would pay a visit to the old retired detective Carlos Lee. So he followed it and it brought him to the place where he works. It stood there and headed into the wall of the building. Jack continued to follow it.

He went up and knocked on the door. A few minutes later there was an answer at the door. “Yes? Oh hello Jack what brings you here?” “ I need to ask you a few questions” “of course come right in” When Jack got inside he heard the door slam and the lights went off. Jack quickly ran to the nearest phone but Carlos stopped him. He tried again and this time he was successful. He then dialed the number to his partner Mark Jefferson's house. A few minutes later his partner answered the phone. “Hello?” “Mark I need you to come down to Carlos's house immediatly” “Alright” Jack knocked out Carlos and waited for his partner to arrive. When he had arrived Jack explained everything to his partner and helped get Carlos into the car. “You want me to give you a ride home”his partner asked. “No, I drove here myself” he got into his car and drove back home.
