That evening, I discussed my encounter with the remaining azn crew.  We all agreed to meet with him.  Salina also mentioned that she had a dream of Jonny and Valiant.  They were at both their death sites.  Showing the cellphones dialed numbers after their deaths.  On Valiant’s cell was Jonny’s number dialed by Valiant’s severed arm.  Jonny’s cell dialed another number, but she couldn’t focus on it.  She turned around and saw an abandoned hospital and woke up.  That freaked us all out.  We were so scared that everyone decided to sleepover at my house. While I was waiting for them, I chatted with a few other people.  I looked through my msn list and started talking to Dana.  I told her of all the events that happened and asked her for some conclusion.  Of course, she couldn’t help.  She suggested deleting all the information on all of the cell phones and cancel the plans.  It was a good idea, I didn’t know why I didn’t think of it.  I looked through my list again and saw Andy on.  I forgot about him… I should ask what happened after we left him with Adrian… I opened the window and asked.  Apparently, he had a blast.  Adrian released him and they played video games the whole time.  He even said he’ll go through the tying up and everything as long as Adrian would play video games with him.  I immediately blocked him. 

            The bell rang.  The azn crew is here.  I invited them in and told them to pick their own couches.  They settled down.  Salina walked up to my room and started reading my mangas.  At the same time, Denny came up and raided my dvd collection on my bookshelf.  George came in eyeing my Final Fantasy X wallscroll of Tidus.  I sat back down on my computer and started analyzing all the pics and videos from the carnival.  I’ve noticed that the shadowy figure was always in the same frame where Jonny is.  One particular shot consisted of the Samara (from The Ring) look alike amongst the hanged men, standing there with her pale face towards the ground. 

            “Hey, can I use your laptop? I wanna watch some dvds.” Denny asked.

            “Yeah, it’s in my bag, just plug it in.” I replied.

            “This can get on the net?” George asked.

            “Yeah, just plug that white cable sticking out from under my bed.”

            “Holy shit, Denny gimme that laptop, I gotta order a wallscroll!”

            “Shut up! You’re bringing me back to reality!” Salina yelled.

            The arguing suddenly stopped and the room was silent.

            “Huh? Why did everyone shut up?” I asked.

            I realized shortly after that the sound of a vibrating.

            “Whose is it?” I asked with a shaky voice.

            “Fuck….” George replied.  He took his phone out of his vest and watched it vibrate.  The rest of us looked on motionless.  He flipped open the phone slowly and said, “It’s my friend,” George turned back. “Hello? Hi, how are you?”

            I couldn’t take this anymore.  I walked over and turned off his cell. 

            “Everyone turn off your cells now!” I demanded.

            Everyone did as I asked.  I went back to my computer and saved all the clues into a disc.  I made multiple copies of it after.  At least, if we all are gone, someone else could find one of the discs and carry on this investigation.  I turned off my monitor and left my computer on to download my anime. 

            “I’m going to sleep. Nite.” I said.

            The rest looked at each other and nodded.

            “We’re gonna sleep on the ground here.  We can’t handle sleeping out there in the dark without a ninja.” Salina said.

            “Whatever.” I replied.

            In the middle of the night, I was woken up by Salina who was panicking.  Still groggy, I sat up and growled, “What?”  I looked over to George and Denny, sat up in the dark.  I walked over and turned on the lights. I then turned to Salina who pointed to the George’s cell.  It was ringing that familiar tune. 

            “What? How, the power is off!”

            The ringing now stopped. George started to shiver.  I ran over to the desk where the phone sat and checked phone again.  The power was off, the cell was completely off.  There was no way that the phone could’ve received any calls. 

            I turned around to face the three crew members.  I saw how George was terrified.  I decided to check if there were any messages for him.  I flipped it opened and the screen read:

One Missed Call

Friday May 3 10:48pm

You have one new message

 

I opened the message and instead of a voice message, a video came up.  I screamed and dropped the phone onto the carpet.  The phone landed upright and the video played on.  There was a picture of George and the ghostly girl peeked out of from a corner, hair was mostly covering the face so we couldn’t make out the picture. 

“George?” I blankly looked up.   

“The date… it’s 3 days from now.” Salina said.

George let out a whimper.

“Shut up Salina!” Denny responded. 

I took the camera and transferred the video into my computer.

“We’ll show that cop tomorrow. He might be able to help,” I said, “Just stay calm and go back to sleep.”

            We all tried to get some sleep but it was pretty much impossible given the situation.  I lied on the bed until sunrise. Morning came.
