"Right," he said skeptically, not believing that they hadn't seen the bike sitting right there. But Ollie did look kinda perplexed as he walked over to it and ran his hand over it, as if not sure he was actually seeing what he saw.

"Yeah," Ollie said, sounding a little dazed. "This is my bike." He mumbled something else that Sam couldn't hear. Meanwhile, Sam regarded the new guy, Travis. Then he looked down at the hunting rifle he was carrying. Yeah, it probably looked like they were out in the fog... worst time ever to hunt. And in a human cemetery. Pretty weird, he thought.

"Bad stuff," Sam said with a shrug, as if they were caught doing this kind of thing all the time--no big deal. "Like... ghosts and stuff."

His eyes almost jumped from the sockets, "Ghost!?" Yeah yelled. "What do you need the rifle for then?" He was a little perplexed to what a bullet would do to a ghost that has no solid form the bullet to penetrate.

Iris chimed in, "The gun isn't for the ghost it's for protection from other things." She had a hand on her hip her tone pissy. She didn't like the way Travis questioned them and what they were doing, was she really sure she wanted him to join them? She could maybe train him to behave and no when to bit his tongue.

"We are looking into the fog, you guys know anything about it?" Iris asked.

Travis only knew the fog came at the same time as the ghost that had talked to them vanished other than that he and Ollie had known nothing else. Travis wasn't even sure his ghost had anything to do with the fog. Maybe the could call him out and ask him.

Ollie didn't buy what they were telling them. Rifles for a ghost? The bike hadn't appeared out of nowhere. They probably took it earlier for some reason and then put it back when they left. Or... something. Whatever was going on, Ollie was half certain they had something to do with it. And half... not so certain. It was just that Ollie was the quiet weird kid in school. People seemed to like him well enough when they were alone with him, say for a group project. But beyond that, they seemed to think he was weird. They... didn't like him. They talked about him when they thought he wasn't listening.

So he was suspicious; Iris and Sam were probably screwing with them. Haha, have some fun with Ollie and the new kid.

"No," Ollie said after a moment. "Why would we?"

    Iris Jones

Iris shrugged, "Just asking I am not accusing you of anything." They had no clue where to even start. "You want to join us?" She motions at herself and Sam, "The more the merry is what they say, right Sam." She smiled at Oliver and Travis. She couldn't help but feel like Oliver was putting a wall up as if she and Sam were there to pick a fight with them.

"I overheard my parents talking about the fog and how a lot of people have gone missing and some showing up dead. So Sam and I are going to find out that the hell is doing this." He said almost in an all might voice as if they were superheroes saving the town.


"Yeah."

He gave the other two a wary look, though. Yeah, the more, the merrier. If those two weren't weird creeps or anything. Like most of their classmates, Sam had heard the things that circulated around the school in regards to Ollie. He didn't know anything at all about Travis except that Iris seemed awfully interested in meeting him. Sam shifted the rifle in his hands, still with the safety on. Not that it would matter, the way Ollie was looking at it.

"Safety's on," he said to Ollie, who let out a nervous laugh and ran a hand through his messy curls.

"I know."

Yeah right.

Ollie looked over at Iris. "I heard about the missing people, too. They kinda gloss over them on the news. But why are you guys starting in the graveyard?"

"Why the graveyard? To check for the walking dead why else?" He laughed at her bad joke. She then looked around to make sure they were alone. "We are going to the mortuary to check out the last victim they will be put to rest tomorrow." Yeah, it was creepy but they were not telling the public the cause of these deaths. They kept all super news quiet with cover-ups, bear attacks were used a lot and gas leaks.

Iris' father is one of the cities lead homicide detective, she admired her father and looked up to him doing her own detective work with Sam.

"You two coming? Or is this too scary?" She taunted the two to provoke them to come along.

"Of course we're coming!" Ollie scoffed, before elbowing Travis and whispering to him, "We should go with them, right?"

    Travis Rha

Travis puffed up his chest as if it would make him look any tougher, "Hell yeah, we should go!" His voice squeaked and he brought his hand up to cover his face as he cleared his throat. That ruined his macho look but he continued to walk upright shoulders held high. He was scared a little but he didn't want them to know. They all acted like this was a walked in the park, let's go break an entry and play with a dead body, sure why not if a girl could do it so could Travis.

The four of them made there way up to the mortuary Iris took her backpack off and took out a small pouch it had a picklock tools in it. This was a small town they didn't have high-tech alarm systems. Once the lock was picked she opened the door and said "Dude's first." Waving her arm like Vanna White. She handed Ollie A flashlight, so he wouldn't be in the dark.

Travis stuck close to Ollie he wasn't all too familiar with him but he knew him longer than he did Sam, 'Kid with a gun with daddy issues?' And 'Prissy, cute princess'. He looked around, the walls were white and it smelled very foul he covered his nose and mouth with the sleeve of his sweater. He began to feel very uneasy.

"I guess that means me," Ollie said, taking the flashlight that was handed to him. Great. So he was the one who had to lead them there. Still, even if he was kind of creeped out, he was also curious. He and Travis had already seen a ghost, so there might be others lurking around. Hopefully not the same one, though. It wasn't all that intimidating to look at but it was still weird how it seemed to know Travis somehow.

"So... what exactly do you think we're going to find in here?" He glanced back at Sam and Iris. "Something we can actually kill with that gun?"

    Iris Jones

"We are looking for answers, the corps should fill us in." With her ability, she was able to pick up fragments from the recently deceased. Her sight becomes their sight it didn't work all the time she was still learning how to channel her power.  "Like I said the gun is for protection. Make a left and head downstairs that's where the body should be." She knew where to go she had done this before. Ollie didn't no this, so this could easily look like a setup but it wasn't she really wanted to befriend them.

If she was able to channel the spirit this would be an experience for all of them, Oliver and Travis would be in on her secret, a secret Sam and her parents only knew. It was stressful she had no idea if she could really trust them with this she knew nothing about them. This was her idea to have them join, she might have alternative motives that Sam wouldn't approve of so she left them unsaid even though she felt like he knew but pretended not too.

Once they got to the door Iris made her way to the front. He palms where sweaty and her breaths became short, "Whatever happens here tonight stays with just us four." Her tone got serious, she nodded at Sam, he knew the drill he would pull her out if things got scary. The victim's name was Maria Shaw and she was brought in last night, Iris didn't know what to expect when she opened the door but what she saw was heartbreaking. The room was filled with more bodies that she had ever seen before in her life.

Turning to Sam quickly she grabbed on to him for comfort, it was like something out of a history book, rows and rows of dead bodies. Her heart ached to think of all the people that were affected by this attack. "There are so many, Sam."

Oliver sure didn't seem happy with his role in the investigation but he went on ahead and did as he was told. Sam felt himself relax a little. All right then. They were all in this together. Although he could safely say that this wasn't the first time they did something like this. Like... getting this close and personal with the bodies. He'd been with her before when they were looking for answers from the dead. He could tell that wasn't the case with Oliver and Travis, though.

Sam knit his brows together and held the gun up for protection, just in case.

Nobody living was inside with them. It was just the four of them. Oliver let out a sigh up ahead and turned the light toward them, right in Iris' face.

"Yeah, all right. Whatever you say," he said, though his tone was quite skeptical.

"Shh," Sam said back, pushing the flashlight away. Then he turned toward the rows of the bodies. They were pretty... uh, dead. "Which one's the right one?" he asked Iris.

"Hey! do you mind." Iris put her heads up to block the light from her eyes. Oliver really had no idea what he was in for. She was kinda proud at this moment she got to shine and show off her ability, she felt it would impress Travis and catch his attention. "Her name is Maria Shaw and that's the fun part we need to find her let's check the toe tags." Sifting through the body's was hard for her. She had to try her best not to channel the other spirits many of them wanted to make contact it took a lot out of her to block them out.

Once Maria was located, Iris pulled the sheet away from her face slowly once her face was reviled she placed one hand on her forehead and another over the corpse' heart. She began to meditate calling Maria to her. It wasn't easy fighting the others off but she kept trying to reach Maria that's when she was hit with a rush of memories. It was like watching a horror movie as she watched Maria's last moments alive.

Iris jerked and muttered broken words and she made contact with the spirit. She was able to witness what happened but making it out was the hard part. She jumped back as Maria took her last breath in the vision. Gasping for air he knees buckled and she fell.

"They still have toe tags?" Ollie wrinkled his nose in disgust. Not what he signed up when it came to playing Scooby with the others. (Didn't they usually run into fakes, anyway? A bunch of Not Ghosts? God, he didn't want to deal with more actual ghosts.) Still with a wrinkled nose, he watched as Sam poked a leg and peered at its toe.

"Gross," Ollie said aloud. He wasn't touching any dead toes. Things got worse when Iris pulled the sheet off this dead lady. By then, Ollie had backed away a few paces, holding the light in their direction but turning his head away.

"Kind of a prissy one, aren't ya?" Sam asked with a grin. Ollie ignored him and crossed his arms.

A weird energy filled the room and Ollie tried his best to ignore that, too. It felt stifling, though. Hard to breathe, like the air itself was heavy with the weight of spirits. Ollie didn't see anything but he was glad not to. But the minute it looked like Iris was being possessed, he dropped the light, swearing under his breath. Sam was right next to her the whole time, catching her as she fell and grinning wildly the whole time.

"Did you see that?" he asked Ollie and Travis, as if they were blind and saw nothing.

    Travis Rha

This was over Travis' head he just stuck to Oliver's side, and he thought Ollie was a strange kid but these two were something else, he wondered if Iris was a witch too with what she was doing to the body. Not that he knew for sure if he was one or not. Whatever she did things were getting weird in the morgue. It was like all the oxygen in the room was being sucked out it was hard to breathe.

Something was happening to Iris and Sam just stood there smiling the whole time, and to think Oliver thought he had been possessed by a ghost he would have been able to tell. Nothing like that happened when he met his ghost. He was concerned, was it okay to be possessed by a ghost it had to have some kind of side effect this couldn't be good. And they way Sam acting like it was normal she must have done it a lot. 

"Is she okay?" was his answer rather than comment on what he had just seen, he really didn't know what he just saw. Iris was is Sam's arms as she regained consciousness She looked up at Sam as she processed the information she just gained. "Reapers did this," she said in almost a whisper. There was nothing she or Sam could do to stop Reapers, they were out of there league their lives where in danger once you were marked by a Reaper there was no way out death would be knocking on your doorstep soon after.

"Yeah."

She was okay, but Sam sounded somewhat distracted as he watched Iris. The way she looked was probably scary to the other two but Sam had seen enough of it by now to be used to it. He watched her for a long moment and then when she came back to her body (as Sam thought of it), she stared at him and he stared back. For a moment, he thought they were having a moment but then she spoke and it was just about the usual business. Disappointment made him swallow hard but he understood and he nodded to show that he did.

Reapers. She told him about them before. A shiver ran up and down his spine.

"Then we should get out of here," he said, urgency filling his voice. The more the realization hit him, the more he knew it--they had to leave or they were all in big trouble. "Now. We should go now."

(FINISHED, on to something else?)
