The Ghost Hunters and The Familiar Strangers

Carlos fell to his knees as he breathe a sigh of relief. He moved to the monitor looking at the vital signs and other activities of the body in the monitor. "Well, how is everything?" Dalton asked.

"Everything looks good," he answered as he checked up on Rose who was still unconscious.

"How long is it going to take for her to wake up?" asked Dalton folding his arms and staring at Rose.

As long as she needs to. Carlos said in his mind. Dalton turned to look at him waiting for his response. "Soon," he said pressing some buttons on the tube. "The body needs to adjust to Rose, if they are compatible, there shouldn't be an issue." "If they are not?" Dalton asked.

"You know the rest," Carlos answered.

Dalton pointed at Link. "Make sure you keep an eye on her and if there's any improvement, let me know," said Dalton taking his leave.

Link bowed his head and so did other ghosts as they watched their master leave.

Carlos felt the urge to use the restroom but before he could go anywhere, he has to take permission from Link which he finds annoying most times. He decided he wasn't going to take permission and he would just leave like that so he waited for the right time when Link was carried away talking and when he got that chance, he quietly left the room without being noticed by other ghosts. He was on his way to the bathroom when he saw the figure of someone. He knew he shouldn't peep but his curiosity got the best of him and he opened the door gradually and there he saw Tessa being chained even though she was a ghost, she was chained on her hands, legs and her mouth was gagged. He was about to go in when he heard footsteps nearby, he quickly rush to look for a place to hide before someone would notice him. After the person had gone, Carlos came out of his hiding place and went to meet Tessa.

"Hey," he said as Tessa looked up at him. She gave him eye contact that he understood. "I know I am not supposed to be here... so I'm leaving but I will be back," he told her as he left without anyone noticing. ~~~2 days later~~~

Everyone in the hideout was coming up with ideas on how to save Carlos. "I think it's best to wait for Tessa," Tamara said. "She's the only one with access here."

Jason shook his head. "But we haven't heard anything from her in a long time. If we keep waiting, we might end up losing Carlos."

Everyone agreed with Jason. "We've waited far too long," Xen said. "Carlos is relying on us to come up with a rescue plan, we can't keep waiting for Tessa."

"Could it be that something has happened to her?" Clarissa asked. "cos she did make it seem like her life was in danger the moment she told us about Carlos being in danger."

Everyone thought about it and they could see sense in what Clarissa said. "So what's the plan?" Amelia asked. "if we are not waiting on Tessa anymore, how do we locate him?" She asked as everyone took different postures to think.

"Wait!" Jason said as he went to his computer. Everyone followed. "He took his phone with him which means we can be able to locate him." He said as he started typing on his computer.

"He disappeared Jason... he wasn't kidnapped," Norman said.

Jason smiled. "I know that and that's why Carlos made this." he brought out a chip and insert it into his computer. "He said this chip can be used to see the unseen and I'm sure it can help us locate him. Everyone cheered. Tamara pulled Jason closer and pecked his cheek. "You are a lifesaver," she told him as he smiled.

Jason inserted the chip inside the computer when he noticed a beep. He clicked it and saw that there was a signal showing a ghost seer is being attacked by ghosts. "Um guys, we've got something," he said as they all got fully armored they journeyed to fight the ghosts and save the ghost seer.

Arriving at the scene, they saw the ghosts battling a girl. They rushed to her rescue fighting the ghosts off, Tamara and Clarissa took care of the girl while the guys and Amelia handled the ghosts. The battle was a really tough one, it was tough to the point that they were injured and they couldn't use the exterminator because the ghosts disappeared.

The girl was panting and the girls were trying to calm her down. "you'll be fine." Tamara assured.

"What on earth were those things?" the girl asked.

"Ghosts," Xen answered coming closer to meet them when his eyes met those of the girl and for a second, he froze not believing his eyes.

Xen took his girlfriend on a stroll, and he intended to tell her the truth about his true identity, he had no idea how it was going to go but he believed her love for him could stand the test of time he was wrong. "Believe me Riele... I do see ghosts and I know they killed my parents." Xen said holding his girlfriend's hand begging her to believe him.'Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

"You are crazy Xen," Riele yelled at her boyfriend. "Does that even make any sense?" she asked him. "How do you want the world to take this? I already see you as one crazy dude, how about the rest of the world?" "But babe..."

Riele pushed his arms away. "You know what, I am breaking up with you... I can't continue to date someone who is insane... don't you ever call me." she walked out on him. ~~Reality~~

He looked at her and she stared at him too wondering why he was giving her that look. "Riele?" He called as everyone turned to look at him.
