Start from the beginning
                                    

Darcey looked over to Sam when Diana sat down on the edge of the other bed, then one Darcey wasn't on.
"You know what? Here. I've been researching every girl who's died..or who's ever gone missing from Ashland street. " Sam says showing her the stolen files.
"How'd you get those? Those are From crime scenes and booking photos." Diana says
"You have your job, I have mine." Sam said
From where she was, Darcey gave a small smirk, knowing neither of them saw it though. She then started to play with a loose string on the duvet, she was annoyed.
"Here, I need you to look through these, tell me if you recognize anyone." Sam told the woman.
Diana day on the bed that was closer to the table, the bed that Darcey was on.
The girl then got up and moved to the table,
The cop looked to the girl before she looked back to the photos.
When she passed a few, she finally looked up to them.
"This is her." She says handing it to Sam.
"I'm sure of it." She said
"Clair Becker, 28 years old. Disappeared about eight or nine months ago." Sam reads.
"But I don't even know her." Diana said. "Why would she come after me?" She asked
"Well, before her death, she was arrested twice for dealing heroin. You ever work Narcotics?" Sam asked Turing to her
"Yeah. Pete and I did. Before Homicide." Diana says
Sam held up the photo.
"You ever bust her?" He asks
"Not that I remember." She says
"It says she was last seen entering 2911 Ashland Street. Police searched the place, didn't find anything." Sam reads more. He then handed it to Diana.
"Guess we gotta check it out ourselves. See if we can find her body. " Sam says getting up.
Darcey got up as well and grabbed her jacket.
"What?" Diana asked
Darcey rolled her eyes.
"Well, we gotta salt and burn her bones. It's the only way to put her spirit to rest." Sam explains
"Of course it it." The woman says

At the place, Darcey and Sam look around with they're flashlights, looking for anything useful.
"So, what exactly are we looking for?" Diana asked
"I'll let you know when we find it." Sam says
Sam then made his was up the old wooden steps, Darcey not far behind.
When they hear Diana call
for them, they make they're way back down and rush over to her.
"Hey, we're here. What is it?" Sam asked when the got to her
"What happened?" Darcey asked
"Clair." Diana says

"Where?" Sam asks
"She was here."
"Did she attack you?"
"No. She was just like, reaching out to me. She was over by the window." The trio makes they're way over.
Diana and Darcey go over to the big thing that's blocking the window.
"Hey, wait. Help me move this." Diana says
And they do, Diana reads the window.
"Our little mystery world."
Sam then turned around, the light reflection from the window made words on the brick wall viable, spelling out Dana Shulps.
"Now the extra letters make sense." Sam said pulling out the EMF.
"What is that?" Diana asks
"Spirits and certain remains give of electro-magnetic frequencies." Darcey says from beside Sam.
They start to walk around, holing the device up.
"So if Claire's body was here, that wound indicate that?" Diana asks
"Yeah. Well, that's the theory." Sam says

When Sam walked up to the wall, the EMF started to ring and the red at the top went full blast.

Darcey and Diana stood back as Sam took a pipe and began to break the wall.
When he made a hole, he took his flashlight and shined it down.
"Yeah, yeah. There's definitely something in there." He says

Diana and Darcey walked a bit closer.
"You know, this is bothering me." Sam says hitting his elbow to the wall.
"Well, you are digging up a corpse." Diana says
"No, not that..that's pretty par for the course, actually." Sam said
"Then what?" Diana asks, her voice going higher as she did so.
"It's just,..I mean, no vengeful spirit we've ever Tussled with..wanted to be wasted. So why would Clair lead us to her remains?" Sam asked
Darcey thought about that. What Sam was saying was true.
"It doesn't make sense." Darcey says agreeing with him
