CUT TO: LIBRARY

EXT. LIBRARY- EARLY NIGHT

DRAY SITS AT A COMPUTER IN THE LIBRARY, REVERSE IMAGE SEARCHING THE PORTRAIT FROM THE FLASH DRIVE.

[Dray]

(Thinking)

How could I have been doing this for an hour and not found anything? For there to be photo evidence of it, it had to have existed. There has to be some trace of it online if it's an art piece. But then again it could have been a portrait that just stayed in family possession and if that's the case I'll never find any trace of it. But the quality of the photo doesn't seem to be that old. And the picture looked like it was taken against a wall backdrop. Maybe a gallery? IT has to be somewhere.

SUDDENLY DRAY IS MET BY MIKEY AND THE TWO DAP FISTS.

[Dray]

(Whispering)

Dude, what's up.

[Mikey]

(Whispering)

Nothing much. What're you up to?

[Dray]

I'm looking for someone who might have this painting.

MIKEY TAKES A LOOK AT THE PAINTING.

[Mikey]

(Whispering)

What's so special about it?

[Dray]

(Whispering)

I can't really tell you right now. It's kind of a long story.

AS DRAY SCROLLS DOWN HE FINALLY FINDS AN IMAGE OF THE PORTRAIT. HE TAKES OUT A PICE OF PAPER AND WRITES DOWN THE NAME AND ADDRESS OF THE GALLERY THAT HAS IT.

[Dray]

(Whispering)

Were you leaving?

[Mikey]

Yeah.

[Dray]

(Whispering)

Well, I'm done here. I'll leave with you.

[Mikey]

(Whispering)

Cool. Well, leggo.

DRAY AND MIKEY LEAVE THE LIBRARY.

[Mikey]

So, what's with the victorian lady?

[Dray]

Oh, there's been a new case that's developed.

DRAY LOOKS AROUND AND WHEN HE SEES THAT THE COAST IS CLEAR HE BEGINS TO TALK TO MIKEY ABOUT IT.

[Dray]

Alright, so check this out. There's a ghost that's been haunting a girl on this campus. Diana heard about her and we started helping her out with it.

[Mikey]

Dude, why hasn't anyone told me about it?

[Dray]

Oh, this has been a thing between me, Diana, and Elijah. I would have gotten you involved if you wanted but I hadn't seen you around in a minute.

[Mikey]

Yeah, it has been a minute. Say, how are you doing? I remember the last time I saw you, you were pretty bummed out.
