Maiko's POV:
Later that evening, just before dark, John is standing in the middle of the room were the chair moved. He's dressed up in his priest robes carrying a bible and a vial of holy water. All the while, the rest of us, excluding Naru and Gene who are investigating a different angle, are in base watching John through the monitors.
"Looks like the teenage exorcist is making his move." Monk said with his hands in his pockets. We watch as John takes his vial of holy water uncaps it and splashes it in the air in the shape of a cross. After re-capping the Holy water and placing it in a pocket in his robes, John pulls out his bible and opens it. He flips through it a few times before he came to the page he needed.
"In the beginning was the word and the word was with god and the word was god." *Creak* Justs as he starts reciting from the bible the room suddenly starts creaking. 'Oh crap. This isn't going to end well.' John resumes reciting. I hear Mai saying "What's that noise?" Mai turned up the volume. The noises became more auditable and clear. Mai's face paled. I knew she realised what was happening. "The ceiling." Mai mumbled to herself. Not long after that, Mai bolted out the door. Everyone else followed shortly after, but I stayed behind. I kept myself in the loop by watching through the cameras and reading Mai's mind.
Mai's POV:
'I hope I am not to late!' I thought as I ran down the hall to save John. When I finally got to the room I quickly slid the door open. John looked at me shocked. "Mai? What are you doing? Get out of here!" "Move back the ceiling is falling!" I shouted at the top of my lungs. Just then the ceiling collapsed. I couldn't see John. "John! John!!!"
An hour later, everyone is gathered around the debris including Maiko and John. "Are you alright John?" Maiko asked softly. John smiled causing Maiko to blush. "I'm fine. Just a scrape or two. Thanks for that." She's let's a small smile show on her face. "No problem." Maiko said. "By the way, thank you Mai for coming when you did. If you hadn't I would be seriously injured or even killed." "No problem." I said with a smile. "By the way I think we should turn in for the night. It's getting really dangerous and it is late." Maiko said going back to being serious. "Well I'll be taking my leave now. While there is still life there is still hope." Ayako said. Monk retorted with "Just admit it. You're scared." Ayako turned and left with a scoff. One after another everyone left for the night.
Sunday: Gene's POV
It's almost noon. I am in a sulking mood. I didn't talk at all yesterday, and brother stayed up all night investigating his theory alone because of it. Around six this morning I finally convinced myself to stop moping around and take over for him so he can get some sleep. I was going over the results of our separate investigation when an idea struck me. 'This is the perfect opportunity for a prank.' However, just as I was cooking up the perfect prank Mai and Maiko come in through the gate.
Mai walked up to me with a smile while Maiko followed shortly after. Her nose is red and she's carrying a box of tissues. 'Damn, she's looks so cute.' "Good morning Gene. Is Naru asleep?" Mai said and asked as she looked in the back of the van. I froze.
At that moment Noll decided to wake up. "Gene? Mai? Maiko? What are you doing here so early? What time is it?" "It's Lunch time Naru! Have you been here all night?" "Hold on a minute? Why did you call me Gene?" I ask not knowing how they could know my english nickname. Noll looked towards the girls curiously. "Considering you two are identical twins and Mai already decided to call Naru, Naru, we decided to call you Gene because you both share the same genes, but, you have opposite personalities." Maiko said.
'I love the sound of her voice. Even when she's all serious, her voice is so soft and sweet.' Without realizing it my heart starts beating faster and my cheeks turn red. Mai looks at me confused. "Why are you turning red? Are you sick?" Mai asked a little worry is shone in her eyes. I cleared my throat and regained my composer. "I am fine I just um....have a pollen allergy." A little white lie never hurt anyone right? "You're a bad liar. If your embarrassed about something we wont grill you. Your business is your business." My heart started racing again.
