The following morning there was a knock on the door. When Josh opened it, Elise Rainier was on the other side.

"I wasn't sure the doorbell was working. I'm sorry" Elise said

"It's alright. Come on in" Josh said. Elise stepped inside the house. "Mrs. Rainier?"

"No, Mrs. Rainier is my mother. Please call me Elise" 

"I'm Josh" 

"I knew that. You've grown since I last saw you"

"Since you last saw me?" 

"Your mother and I have been friends a long time" Elise said. She turned around to see Jessie, who was standing beside Specs. "Jessie, I haven't seen you since you were maybe about six years old. You've grown into such a beautiful woman"

"Thanks Elise. I've heard a lot about you from...a friend of mine" Jessie said. Elise knew who Jessie was talking about and gave her a smile. Jessie motioned towards Renai. "This is Renai. Josh's wife and my sister-in-law"

"Thank you for coming. Can I get you anything?" Renai said

"Oh no, I'm fine. Thank you" Elise said

"We took Tri-field and EMF readings of the whole house. All the wiring, alarm clocks, radios, toasters, TV, record player, fuse box. Nothing went off the charts" Tucker explained.

"And the previous home?"

"Tucker hadn't monitored that yet. You know what, don't sweat it. I'll make myself available. I'll get on that this afternoon" Specs said

"I'll have to come too because who's gonna operate the equipment" Tucker said

"That's fine gentlemen. I don't think bad wiring is the problem here. May I walk through the house?" Elise said.

"Of course" Renai said.

"You're other children are with Lorraine, right?" 

"Yes"

"What about you Jessie? Do you have any children?"

"Nope. I've never even been married before. I'm waiting for the right guy" Jessie said, glancing over at Specs. He caught her looking at him, and smiled at her.

"Steven, do you have your sketchbook?" Elise asked. 

"Yes, yes I do" Specs said, grabbing his sketchbook.

"Good because we're going to need it" 

"What's it for?" Jessie asked curiously.

"She tells me what she sees and I draw it. It's the most important part of her process" Specs explained.

"That's debatable" Tucker said

They all went into Dalton's bedroom. Specs was about to turn on the light.
