"So I was wondering if anyone is going to tell a story that has lies in it to see if my spell worked or not just so I got a refrence to gauge how well it will work if we get to talk to the parents tonight." I ask everyone hoping that I'll be able to tell if the spell worked and if it did how well.
Taking another drag from my smoke I look at everyone and ask "Who is going to call the parents so we can see if we can get a quick talk in tonight, I'm thinking one that knows how to talk to people would be best. I also want to ask a few questions tonight if they let us see them tonight before I have to stop sustaining this analyze truth spell." "Oh ya when it comes to a place to gather or for a place to stay I can't help I just got to town and I kind of sleep in the van. It is a good vehicle if we want to move all of us at once in one vehicle but try and give me about 10 minutes I got some cleaning up to do." I look over at the navy blue van of mine and start running through my mind where to put everything if we do decide to use it one of these days for a group drive.

I guess I missed that Ghost. I saw you had some kind of spell going. I tell you, thats the cleanest van I've ever seen. Willpower + Counterspelling = 7 [dice=6][dice=6][dice=6][dice=6][dice=6][dice=6][dice=6] 2 hits
Chuckling.. Looking at that thing I'd say you were a rat shaman my friend..

Joshua thinks about all the places to start the possibilities are endless. "I might hold off on the Matrix dive for a little bit. I have a friend at Lone Star who might have some useful intel." Joshua tells the group as he begins to run an Browse complex form on the data Johnson gave the group. Data Search+Browse=6 [dice=6][dice=6][dice=6][dice=6][dice=6][dice=6](One hit)
"I'll come with you Ghost if no one else will. I can dive and contact my friend on the way to the parents. Just give me some time to get my stuff." Joshua tells the mage. [rand=7534437031867898978389310313169986776350235797734527910887865483]

(Still with you guys, I'm just in reactive mode at the moment since you guys are coming up with a direction to go in. And tinraven, what are you looking for in the files with your Data Search?)
When John makes his quip about Ghost Mage's van, Ghost Mage feels a tickle in the back of his mind and a short, sharp jab in his guts that tell him that John is full of shit. When John amends his statement, the tickle and the brief discomfort go away, leaving him with only the sensation of what a lie feels like.

"OK the spell is working, thanks for the help Draven I think." Ghost says to Draven as he takes the last drag of his smoke and puts it out on the ground.
Ghost looks over at Joshua " Thank's I was hoping this spell won't get wasted it is fun casting spells and all but I like it more when they serve a porpose. I'll follow you in my van everything I own is in there right now and sure this is a good part of town but I don't want to lose everything."
Ghost keeps his commlink on passive and opens a link to Joshua "If you want to talk on the drive just link it to me. Oh ya I quess someone should call and make sure the family will talk tonight ever if only for a minute or two"
Ghost Calls up the family of the missing kid with his commlink RING RING (just going to ask if they are ok to talk with us for a few minutes the sooner we get the info the faster we can get moving forward with the help they need)

Kalipi's parents are still awake. When her father answers the phone, he speaks in clear, Hindi-accented English with that obvious substraight of British in it. He says he was made aware of Johnson's actions, and that both he and his wife will cooperate as much as possible if it will bring their little girl back to them. As Ghost Mage speaks to him, he hears a woman alternately sobbing and wailing in the background.

Well, I'll go ahead and drive. I'd like to keep my gear close by. Anyone is welcome to come with, only room for one really...
I lean against my car as Ghost makes the call.
I appear to drift off into my own thoughts as he makes the call.
I think to myself: Probably better he calls, he seemed the most touched by the story. Man, how this brought up some of my own demons. I thought I was in control of my past yet it so easily surfaced. I must be more controlled. That is in the past and there is nothing I can do about it. I recovered well but I need to keep my cool. This isn't the same girl. This is my job. Maybe some of these demons may be silenced by the justice of this girl. No matter, I gotta find her. She is out there. Chloe where are you, how could I have failed you. No it isn't Chloe. Her name is Kalipi. You are not that boy any more. It is time to put the past behind you. It is not your fault you didn't awaken in time to save her. Keep your cool and maintain your composure. You have a job to do, now do it.
Though my thoughts are my own, the voice speaking them in my head almost seem that of someone elses. I guess I have grown so used to it. All the spell formulas and magic techniques they drilled into my head... I gotta keep it straight. Ares taught me better than this. What did they do to me? If only I could find those Winternight shamans... One day, the one that did this to me will pay. Another day, another day...

Ghost is filled with sorrow as he ends his talk with the parents "Thank you for your time we will try to make our talk as quick as posible. I am very sorry to hear this has happened to you and you have my word I will do everything I can to bring Kalipi back to you safe. Good bye, take care we will be there soon" Ghost voice cracks in sorrow as he ends his conversation with the parents. "Ok everyone we are ok to go talk to them tonight, we should try not to up set them but I'm sure you all know that. We may upset them with some of the questions we ask, but aslong as it is important there is nothing we can do about it at this time other then a few conforting words. As you know I got an analyze truth spell up to cover all angles but I don't think they are going to lie to us but better to prepair for everything you can think of, then it is less likely you will miss anything that will help get Kalipi back alive. Well who ever can think of questions to ask the parents should come now or you can comm link us your questions if you think too many people will scare them it may give them confidence that so many people are here to help well that is it. We all have the address so we should get going no point keeping them up all night." Ghost walks over to his van when everyone is ready to go and begins his drive to the parents house. Grabing the only smoke that seems to have any tabbaco left on it in his ash tray ghost thinks to himself. "Man I need this, must calm down before I get there." Ghost lights the smoke with alittle shack in his hand and takes a deep drag for the smoke.

I would recommend you talk to the parents Ghost. You have a sincere sympathy about you regarding their situation. I am going into the estate to see if I can find some items that may have ethereal remnants that we may track down the girls aura with. I will follow your lead for the conversation however. I also recommend only 3 of us go... I don't want to scare them. Oh, and after we talk to them I want to go ahead take a look around the perimeter of the residence and the path to school, as it is only 2 blocks away - if I heard Mr. J correctly. Sound good to everyone?
I say to everyone over the linked commlink.

"Well, then. If you think only three would be best I guess you've got your three. I'll call a few contacts of mine, and then I'll wander through the girl's path back from school my self." David looks over towards Grey "You can come too, unless you have other plans."

"If you don't go you may want to keep a comm link conection to hear what is going on incase any of you come up with questions to ask. Well we know who is going so lets head out." Ghost is still maintaining his spells so he makes sure he drive slow and steady no need getting in a crash when his reaction is slowed.

Turning the ignition to my fine automobile I pull out following a few car links behind Ghost. I hope the watcher doesn't get lost... maybe I should come back to the restaurant in a few hours or so to get the report.
Moving out.
