Miranda took a few sips from her glass of juice, it sucked having to deal with this situation and it was getting depressing, she could never understand how Riley’s family must be feeling, she listened to Oli as she spoke and the blonde took her friends hand in hers for morale support when her friend sighed and was not sure how would want to harm their friend, police involvement wouldn’t be good considering how they failed in some key areas of late and the fact teens found something they missed was not exactly brewing confidence.

Miri looked over towards her friend when she mentioned about going back to the lake, just how many times where they going to go there? Was it wishful thinking? Hope? After all the group never ever found anything of help up there, but the lake did bring some peace of mind in some ways and remembrance of the good times they had with Riley camping. Truth be told if Miranda had her way she would stay out there until she found her, but then that no doubt gets her in trouble, but she did think about it.

“We have been up there so many times and not found anything, besides you really think Finely will be thrilled if I was there with you guys? It’s not like we really get on; I mean it was awkward just having her in my car on the way to the creepy ass house.” Miri sighed for a moment and thought as she took another sip from her glass. “But I will come, for Riley and because you asked me to” Miri smiled as she realised she was still holding Oli’s hand.

Finley saw her grandpa enter and before she could speak about anything else, he decided to unleash his form of embarrassment. Finley knew her grandpa trusted her and knew she wouldn't do anything to break that trust, he did it because he also knows she has a massive crush on the boy. Her grandma often asked her when she would bite the bullet and ask him out because, and she could quote this, "that was how I landed your grandfather."

She rubbed her neck and chuckled. "Grandparents. What can ya do? I suppose you could stay for dinner." She walked to her room and entered, making sure the door remained open. Her room was messy, but about on average in a typical college dorm. Some clothing on the ground (thankfully no bras or panties!), posters littered the wall. Some pictures of her with Declan, Taylor, and others. A computer. Basic things. She sat on the bed and waited for Declan to follow.

"So what do you wanna do?"

Jenna nodded, jotting down the name of the demon - the full name. It would help them get an idea of his building holdings, locations where he would have been able to easily stash Riley. As Andrew then drew the symbol, she jotted it down as well and tore off the paper with her notes, putting it into her pocket. "Thank you," she said simply to the ghost. It didn't phase her to see the undead. She could see ghosts for as long as she could remember. To argue with that fact would have been to dive into madness.

She then went over to the property records, looking for Sigfried Seoh in the listings. "Apparently he's been using his name as his host's - so unfortunately, I don't think his host is from Red Lake," Jenna explained with a frown. However, that didn't mean it wouldn't show up. Perhaps he had purchased a house on the lake. Or if all else failed, looking through the property listings would at least give her a pretty good idea as to where Sigfried potentially might have relocated his demonic practice to.

Lydia was a little surprised at what was going on, then again, with the way her life had been going recently, with all the crazy things going on around her, she wasn't too surprised about it. The fact that Jenna had just said moments before to her that she could see ghosts made her seeing a dead guy not too bad either. She was getting used to all of the crazy going on, but the weird symbol and everything made it really weird even for her. "Yeah, saw him, and no, pretty sure that wasn't Siegfried."

She looked over at Jenna, who to her was seemingly fairly calm, just taking in the information. It didn't surprise her too much from what she knew, but it was still a little weird. "So... It sounds like we are back to square one if the guy isn't from around here then?" she asked her cousin, wondering what sort of info she was putting together from all of this.

@Dragoknighte The object in question looked like it was some kind of necklace or jewelry on it, it looked like it was made out of some kind of iron the chain itself was silver as well. "Is there anything else you need?" Halsey asked, the woman seemed to just be nice, she just had a feeling that it would help out with the case since he had seemed to be particularly interested in it. Halsey walked over and sat down on a seat in the room. "You seemed to be interested in it, and it has been with my family for years. But they all have moved on so I wouldn't have any need of it." She said towards Harry.

@FantasyChic Declan chuckled slightly and shook his head slightly. "They always like to say whats on their mind, like mine anyway." He said towards Finley as he followed her up to her bedroom. Seeing all the clutter on the floor, he wasn't really surprised with it his room was about the same as well for the most part anyway. Declan then made his way over towards Finley's bed and sat down next to her, and then sighed slightly and shrugged. "I don't know, any plans like college or anything?" He asked figuring talking about something else other than the murders and Riley going missing was a better way to talk about things.

@Kirah@McHaggis&@Morose@BlueSky44 Robert looked over towards Jenna as she started to draw the same symbol and then eyed it on the window as well, biting her lip for a moment, he was quiet for a little bit. "That was the mayor." Robert said looking over at the two for a moment. As those who were searching for holdings within the town itself they would find that Siegfried had owned the mine back in the 1780's. Robert then finally spoke up, knowing about the symbol looking at the four for a moment. "I've seen it before, my father owns a necklace similarly to that." He said pointing out.

Olivia looked towards Miranda and blushed ever so slightly when she felt her friend's hand resting on her's and smiled at her for a moment as she gently reached out to hold it as well. She decided to just leave out the visions that Finley would get she trusted her enough with that secret and Oli trusted her enough to tell her that she was a werewolf as well. "The lake is fairly big, so there should be something there that the cops and we had missed as well." Olivia said towards Miranda, as she looked at her friend for a little bit longer and then realized that she was staring a little bit to much than she would have liked to.

"So lets just change the subject or something?" Olivia said, before taking her hand away slightly and blushed some more as she took a drink from her water. She shifted slightly in her seat and rubbed her neck a bit more as she quickly decided to finish up the rest of her water as well setting the empty glass aside for now.

Abraham crossed his arms over his chest, as he stared at the demon a few more times while Kosara injured him a little bit more and shook his head. "Let me check something first." Abe said as he walked over towards Siegfried and took out his knife and quickly cut open his shirt and looked down at his chest for any visible scars that would have looked like they would have been fatal. There weren't any visible scars to show that he had been shot or stabbed that would have showed a scar if he died that way.

"There isn't any visible fatal scaring so his host didn't die." Abe said he wanted to make sure that there was a way to save the man he could have been innocent or not before his possession. "I'm not gonna give you shit there princess." Siegfried said as he spat at her and smirked at her. "Kill me or exorice me your choice I can still kill the host if I wanted to."

"Be my guest." Kosara said to Abe as he went to check the host's condition. Frankly Kosara as much as she wanted to save the host, was pretty darn sure it wasn't worth the effort... The demons could kill the host or even cause other problems. Also getting information from demons wasn't really a fast thing to do, it would require a lot of interrogation to do so and they didn't have the time to do so." Even if he's healthy right now it's not obligatory he's fine... he could be a mess form within, just saying." She stated with a shrug." Better not get too attached to the idea of saving a demon's host. Most of hte time it doesn't work out."

"Shut up already, not asking your opinion on the matter." She whistled and sprinkled his face with drops of holy water from the tips of her fingers. She was actually seemingly enjoying the sizzling sounds and smoke that was raising from his skin." This never gets old. Well I hear you fellas down there in hell go through untold tortuers and hte like on regular basis, so what we put you through is merely a vacation right?" She asked with a smile, pulling her notebook." Abe, I'm starting the exorcism, once's his out we have other ways to find the information we need. Besides who knows he might just talk." She added and quickly started speaking out the exorcism prayers.

Harry Kingsfield

Location: Halsey's shop

---

---

Harry stashed away the bauble into his front coat pocket. It'd be relatively safe there from prying eyes and the elements, and the but of extra weight there would give him the presence of mind to remember that it was there in the first place/not accidentally stick it in the wash. He could have just stuck it around his neck and tucked it under his shirt, but part of him didn't want to bother with that (that thing would probably be really cold against his chest), and another part told him it would be a bad idea to actually be wearing the thing. It was a hunch, but hunches seemed to have been paying off so far.

"No, that should be all for now. Thanks for the coffee, it was delicious." Harry politely excused himself from the woman's shop/home and returned to his car. So he had two direct leads as of right now: the Walkers and the Johnsons. He decided that he'd go to the former first since he already had a direct line to them. Perhaps they too would have some old family relics or old journals or something that would tie into the case further. So back to the Bed and Breakfast he went.

Miranda couldn’t help but notice the blush from her friend, hell she was no doubt doing the same as they spoke, Oli had made a point, the lake was big and there was always that possibility of something being missed no matter how many times they have looked, and the police more than likely did after missing all that stuff back at the house.

Miranda couldn’t help but rosier at the cheeks when she noticed her friend staring at her while she still held her hand, Miranda was beginning to think that maybe Oli had a liking towards her, or maybe it was her liking Olivia and she was just imagining it in her mind. Either way she retracted her hand when her friend wanted the subject changed and began gulping her drink down, Miranda to drunk some more of her juice. Still it looked like her friend is blushing. Miri couldn’t help but smile. “Are you blushing?” She teased.

"The mayor's ghost?" She looked to Robin. This day was getting weirder by the moment. Creepy murder basement seemed normal suddenly. The little boy said that his father's necklace had the same symbol startled Heather. "Do you know what it means? Who is your dad anyway?" How was the mayor tied to Riley's disappearance? What were they supposed to do with this information anyway?

She looked at the two girls, "Are you looking into Riley's disappearance too? If you are we might be able to help each other." Heather didn't want to say straight out what had been found at the house, but if these girls knew something and they shared information maybe together they would have all the pieces...or at least more of them. How many people were looking into it now? They needed to get everyone who had a piece of information together and sharing.

She had had him in her room before, so why was she so nervous. They sat next to each other on her bed before. Hell they fell asleep next to each other before. This time it felt more intimate. She hated feeling like this. "Umm, not really no. I was maybe going to take the exam to be a private investigator. Maybe take some photography classes at a community school before I commit."

Truth be told she hadn't thought about the future. Not really. There were the occasional thoughts of offering to take over the coffee shop. Maybe even do photography full time, but she didn't want to do just wedding photos or nature shots. She wanted more. "What about you? Any plans?" She wondered what kind of future a guy who turns into a werewolf could have, really. Could he have career but step away every so often to turn?

Lydia Weaver

Location: Library

Lydia listened to the others around her, before she took notice in what Robert said, since he had just spoken up about it. She had met his father before, he had seemed like a nice enough person, they could probably trust him for help if they needed it. Though she didn't know the other two with them, who were virtually strangers to her, and she wondered what sort of info they might have about Riley's disappearance. It probably would be better for them if they worked together, as opposed to just working in small groups.

She looked over at Robert, "Your dad has a necklace like that? Maybe we should talk to him about it then... He seemed nice enough when I met him... Think we can find him at the reservation? Or is he somewhere in town?" she said, before turning to address Robin and Heather. "Sure, fine by me if we helped each other out... This whole thing is getting really weird for me too, but I'm starting to get used to it all..."

Jenna's eyes widened as soon as she found that Sig-Bitch owned a mine in the 1780's. Her thoughts flickered back to the mine that she had 'pretended' to be lost in. It had had strange markings and carvings on the wall. "Wait, I know where Riley is!" Jenna exclaimed. She shot a quick text to Abe ~Riley in Silver Mine~ and then looked at her cousin. She just nodded absentmindedly at Heather - yes, they were looking into it, but Jenna had figured it all out. "Come on, we can talk more about helping each other out on the way there," Jenna said, before she ran out of the library and considered running home to get her car.

She looked behind her, wanting to see who would emerge to follow her. Even if no one did, she'd still make her way to the mine. Riley had to be there. It made sense - those strange symbols. And her gut told her that if she investigated the sequence of events, it would turn out that Riley had to have been moved there after she sent Finley and Declan there on a wild goose chase. And if the demon was worried about werewolves, it was the perfect place to hide.

@Dragoknighte "Of course come by anytime you'd like." Halsey said giving the man a smile before going back to doing her own thing, the relic he had in his coat pocket could be heard jingling inside as he moved. The drive over to the B&B was rather quick now as well he would see Taylor from earlier getting ready to leave, getting into her car and leave for the day she stopped for a moment and gave Harry a friendly smile and nod before turning and pulling out of the driveway of the B&B. At the front deck of the house itself was Mrs. Walker there as she went and sat down in a chair in front of the building taking a smoke break as it were. She looked over towards Harry as she recognized the car pulling up and waved towards him.

@FantasyChic Declan looked towards Finley and then thought for a moment and shrugged slightly at her question. "Not sure really, probably stay here, maybe work at the B&B full time like Taylor. Wooded enough area to change freely every full moon and secluded from the rest of the world, better than a city I guess." Declan answered as he looked towards Finley for a moment and smiled towards her. "A private investigator would be a good job, maybe you can ask that PI in town for help on it?" He offered, Declan did sort of like Tinley and she was there for him as well during the breakup. Then there was a knock on the door as Finley's grandfather came into the room eyeing the two. "Dinner's ready if you two are hungry." He said before heading down the stairs once more.

@Kirah@McHaggis&@Morose@BlueSky44 Robert looked over towards Heather for a moment as she asked who her father was, before finally answering. "My dad is the chief of the local tribe here. I'm not sure what the symbol means." He answered her as she looked towards the others, it seemed that they were all trying to get the same things. "He's at the reservation right now." He said as he perked up listening to Jenna as she spoke where Riley could possibly be. It was a better lead than anything, and none from his tribe would be able to go there since it was silver. "I'll see if I can get my dad to bower his. I cant go into the silver mines." He said before running out of the room.

Olivia looked towards Miranda and awkwardly shifted in her seat for a moment and rubbed the back of her neck slightly as she thought for a moment at her comment awkwardly. She of course did have a crush on Miranda but she wasn't sure if Miri felt the same for her either or not as she finished her water. "No.. well maybe I guess?" Olivia said as she looked away as she looked at the sky it started to slowly turn into evening now.

"Do you want to go to my place and get some dinner or something?" Olivia asked changing the subject again, she didn't want to make things awkward than they already were right now. "Or we could order something to eat my treat?" Olivia smiled as she sighed to herself, it would be dark soon and they could get there by night fall and meet Declan and Finley there at the lake. But she had a feeling that Declan and Finley would get annoyed with her.

"Better do what momma bear says." Siegfried said giving Abe an evil smile and then winced as he felt the holy water being dropped onto his face and let out a hiss in pain as he shifted slightly. Abraham grumbled slightly to himself as he stepped back looking over at his niece and nodded, they couldn't afford to be soft right now either with a demon like Asmodeus floating around the town somewhere they needed to find a way to keep him imprisoned or killed even.

Then Siegfried started to let out screams in pain as the exorcism started, however the bit of blood and holy water that dripped onto some of the lines in the devil's trap. The room started to shake violently as lights started to flicker, as he stared at the two and smirked a little bit more.

It all wasn't going too great all things considering. A demon like Asmodeus possibly soon to be free and about to do whatever he wishes and this fucker here causing them troubles to boot. She was reciting the exorcism chant like she had done some times in the past, but it wasn't turning the desired way past the pain she was causing him because it appeared luck was turning against the two of them right now. Apparently the seal was being affected by the interrogation earlier. Not much to be done...

She raised her sword, pointed at him without as much as turning her eyes away from the book she was reciting from and continued with the exorcism. He would have two choices here either to abandon the body as soon as the seal fail completely or dammit she was going to send his smokey ass back to hell to be the bottom bunkmate of some bigger demon out there. That or she was going to cut his head off and force him to abandon the body... Even be what he was well a body in pieces wouldn't be able to do anything to them. Thus for now she just focused on the exorcism as the main goal.

"Well, I guess we're going to the silver mine then. You good to drive there Robin?" She had a thought that maybe they should call the cops and report it, but would they believe them? She took a couple quick pictures of what they had found and put it away as fast as she could then followed Jenna outside.

"That kid with you said he would ask his dad for his necklace, but he said he couldn't go to the mines, which makes sense wouldn't want a little kid there anyway." She glanced around but didn't see the kid anywhere. He was fast.

Harry Kingsfield

Harry waved back at her as he stepped out of his car. His first instinct was to go up to her and inquire about their family history, if they had any heirlooms or old journals, but he remembered he had other matters at hand. Far more important ones he'd been putting off: his clothes had gotten torn up and bloodied back at the abandoned house, not to mention they were wet from the rain. He was also dirty and hungry. He hadn't had a bite to eat since breakfast that morning. And to top it all off, all that coffee earlier had made its trip down South, and he could use a bit of relief.

He could take care of his baser needs first, then resume work on the case. As he approached Mrs. Walker, he explained that he needed to wash up quickly before departing. He made his way up to his room and took the chance to relax to a degree as he waited for the shower to warm up. He inspected the stitches on his leg. They seemed fine enough, but he couldn't let them get wet in the shower so soon after getting them.

Harry looked over and noted half a peanut butter sandwich he had sitting in a ziploc bag from a couple days back. Inspection of the sandiwch indicated that it was still in good enough condition to eat. Extracting the foodstuff from the bag, he tore the plastic apart and then taped it over the sewn up wound like a makeshift plastic bandage. The sandwich went straight down his gullet.

The shower was a brief affair, mostly to clean himself from the grime sweat and dirt accumulated over the short day. Removing the taped bag from his leg was a much longer, more delicate process, lest he rip out all his leg hair, leaving in their wake painful memories and embarrassing scars. But now clean, dressed and fed, the PI was ready to once again begin work on the case. He made his way back out of his room and down the stairs to see what lay before him.

Jenna hesitated for a moment. She didn't really want to accept a ride from them. She didn't trust them and she wanted to work alone - Lydia was an exception, as they were blood. Or at least, legally they were. Robert was Lydia's plus one or her pet - it wasn't really clear what the dynamic there was, anyways. But at the same time, they did need a method of transportation and Riley's life could depend on their speed. "Sure, as long as you're a fast driver," Jenna stipulated. She didn't want this to take forever.

As for the mine itself...Well, she doubted they'd be willing to go inside. Yet it made perfect sense as a location - somewhere where werewolves and part time cats couldn't go. It then had a deterrent to ordinary humans who would find it to be unsafe and want to avoid going there, fearing a collapse. But the mine didn't scare her. Jenna prided herself on her fearlessness. And she felt confident that by the time the week was over, she would have left Red Lake for good. She didn't think Finley or anyone would miss her either.
