Case Files: #1 The Haunting in Fairchild Mansion

Chapter 5

"FINALLY I FOUND YOU. Madame Vochichwa is finished making breakfast." Alvin barges inside the library.

With a sigh of relief Diana slips the paper inside her pocket. "You could atleast knock. Libraries are supposed to be a room for peace and quiet to read books." She grumbled. "And no thanks, I'm full. I already had some pancake samples."

"Eh, whatever." He doesn't mind anyways and went back downstairs with Mr. Berry.

She picks up the book where the paper fell off. It's about dungeons and castle structures. She flips through it finding plans for building homes fit for the royals.

"This sketch looks a lot like.. this mansion!" Her eyes widened.

She got out of the library and wandered through the spaces of the mansion. And it exactly look like the model on the book! The statues, furnitures and the paintings. It's like a copy of the house.

"Oh, hey Diana." Greeted Cooper.

"Do you know any nearby internet café in here?" She asked.

"Well.. there's one in town." He thought.

"Great. Let's go!"

"Are you still on to the whole haunted thing?" He gulped. "Do you even know how to handle this situation?"

"I've seen this stuff in movies and it's for mom. Can't you see I'm being a good citizen?" She explained.

"Fine, come on." He can't argue with her if he is unprepared cause for sure she'll have a support for every word she'll throw at him.

Diana told Cooper about everything she had collected so far. They searched for the Author of the book; Miles O'coneil.

"Search says he is an architect and specializes in visual arts." He scrolled down. "Look at this article, Diana."

"So he's also the architect of the mansion?" Diana asked herself.

"He is?" A small voice came from behind. It was Alvin, hugging his teddybear.

"You should stop interrupting everyone and.. You followed us here?!" Cooper exclaimed.

"All by yourself," Diana smirked. "You are totally grounded. I'm telling
mom."

"Hey, I just wanted to help. Anywho, what you got there?" He tries to peek at the screen. "So how can he help if he's dead?"

"Don't look down on a dead person." She remarked."Since we know he based the mansion on his work then we can use this as a map to locate Olivia's old room. I bet we can find clues there." She referred to the book.

"Ooh.. Clever." Alvin beamed.

"Before that," Cooper added."Can we stop by my house for a little bit? I need to see if she's doing well."

"But you don't have a sister and Mrs. Smith is at work this time."

"Just go and ask no more questions."

"Haaah!" Diana belted. "Are you hiding someone in your garage?"

"No, silly." He opens the door. Words of amazement goes out as he presents a complicated work of art. "I call this the roller blaster. I just put one marble in here and it crashes into the domino falling over and makes the scissors go SNAP cutting the rope and as it drops the milk...BOOM! A complete cereal. I'm using this as my entry to the science fair."

"Pretty cool."

"Yes, it is amazing." He praised his work and laughed. "Turns out O'coneil also has a tough competitor."

She agreed with the joke but catches attention to some gizmos lying on the floor. "Are those your dad's?" She inquired.

"Yes. It's for the FX team to make it more realistic." He responded.

"Can the ghost possibly use equipments like that to produce images?" Alvin wondered.

"Nothings for sure yet." She advised. "Let's go back to the mansion first."
