Story Title: Ghosthunters

Chapter Fifteen

The car suddenly came to a halt as the driver told her they've arrived at Texas. How long has she been asleep? She asked herself. She got down from the vehicle and the driver showed her where she'll be staying and gave her the key to the house and also an ATM. Amelia stared at the house, it looked so isolated, it was like her parents looked for the house that's far from the reach of people. Before she could see other houses, it was few miles away.

"Thank you sir." She thanked the driver who waved and drove off. Amelia took a while studying the house, it wasn't how she imagined it to be but somehow she loved it. She got into the house, opened the door and the view was nice. There was a flat-screen T.v fixed firmly on the wall in the sitting room, the chairs were beautifully designed, the house was really beautiful. She went to the bedroom but to her surprise, it was just one bedroom. She dropped her bag and slept on the bed thinking of what life would become of her now. Just as she was about dozing off, her phone rang. Amelia looked at the caller and she saw it was her dad. Maybe he is calling to apologize she thought as she picked the call. "Hello." She answered.

"I'm sure you're in your room..." Andrea said. "Open the shelf, you'll see some documents prepared for you, it's for your new school." Amelia opened the shelf and truly there was a document there.

How long have they been planning this?? She asked herself. She grabbed the document and glanced through it.

"Everything you need is in that house...if you need more money, let me know...I'll send it over to you." Andrea said.

"How did the adoption go?" Amelia asked.

"Fine. We adopted a male child just about your age." Her father said.

Amelia cleared her throat when she noticed her voice was going to sound all sad and stuff. "If people ask about me, what would you tell them?"

"No one is going to ask about you...you can be rest assured."

"What if they do, what would you tell them?" Amelia asked again.

"You died." Was her father's response.

Amelia couldn't believe her ears. "I have to go dad." She hung up immediately as she gazed at the document. MSA (Music School Of Arts) was the name written on the document. She sighed. "I guess it's just me, myself and I." She muttered to herself as she closed her eyes.

Somewhere in Texas, there is a secret hideout where some group of people stay to protect humanity. Inside the hideout, a guy is busy with the computer, one is busy creating scientific instruments and weapons and others are busy discussing.

"How is everything going, Jason?" One of the guys asked the guy working on the computer.

"I'm searching every area in Texas but everything seems pretty clear to me." Jason answered.

Jason Grayson is twenty years old with blond short hair and grey eyes. He attends MSA but after school he comes to the secret hideout to help out. He is a computer guru and can hack through anything. He had a twin brother Norman Grayson who looks exactly like him in height and everything, the only difference between the two is the sound of their voice. Norman Grayson sees ghosts but his twin doesn't but because the two can't leave each other they promise to stick together.

"Xen, I think you should come check this out." Carlos, the scientist called as Xen the leader went to meet him.

"Is everything OK?" Xen asked.

"I tried to build a weapon that we can use to suck the ghost whole." Carlos said.

"What do you mean?" Xen asked.

"I'll demonstrate it for you." Carlos said as he brought out a weapon that looked like a vacuum cleaner only that it had a wider mouth just enough to swallow a ghost. "This opening here only sucks out the life out of the ghost. If I press this button..." Carlos pressed the green button. "...it swallows just about anything." He demonstrated it using a piece of paper. The moment the weapon was turned on, the paper entered through the opening and was grinded. Carlos switched off the weapon.

"Does it grind the ghost too?" Xen asked.

Carlos shook his head. "No but the moment the ghost enters into this, there's a chemical I put around it that completely sucks the life out of the ghost making it disappear just like vapor."

Xen nodded. "I like it. So what is it called?" He asked.

"I call it the exterminator." Carlos said as Xen smiled.

"Good work."

"Xen, I think you'd better come check this out." Jason called as Xen and other members joined in.

"What is it?" Xen asked.

"I think we just caught a ghost." Jason said.

"Where?"

Jason showed them a picture of a house and it looked exactly like Amelia's house.

"Let's get ready people! We have a ghost to catch."

"And exterminate." Carlos added showing his new weapon- the exterminator.
