<div style="text-align: justify;">Rockport, Texas - 2016<br/><br/>Josephine took a look at the text she had gotten from Katie and texted back with a quick <span style="font-style: italic">okay, see you soon</span> before focusing back on the current moment. A mix of excitement and fear was in her heart, as she wondered what they would find once they reached the house. Something told Josie they would need all of their faith and strength for the upcoming days. Hoping that she was wrong this time, Josephine tried to be optimistic. She would soon be with her colleagues and friends, and it wouldn’t do to look too scared or pessimistic. They had to keep their spirits up.<br/><br/>Seeing Jean’s smile when he turned around to face her made Josephine relax a little. She hugged him back, briefly, and nodded at Jean’s question. “I am, thank you”, she replied kindly. “It’s really good to see you again too”, Josie completed sincerely.<br/><br/>As Katie joined then, Josie took a moment to give the other woman a hug as well. “I’ve missed you”, she commented as a greeting. “How’s the family?”, Josephine completed, while allowing Jean to lead them to a place where they could sit and talk. <br/><br/>Once they were down, Josephine was happy Jean started speaking first. She needed time to collect her thoughts. Noticing that Jean didn’t seem too enthusiastic about the job, Josephine felt her concern grow a little. “I believe we have no choice but to be ready”, she stated quietly. Josie had a slight frown she only wore when concerned,  but she didn’t bring her concerns up for now. “I think we can start discussing whatever information we have. I feel we should get this started as soon as possible. I plan on going there tonight. I really want to check this place out. You’re coming too, right?”, she asked Jean, before turning her attention to Katie. “How do you like the town?”, Josie asked, really interested in her friend’s impressions of the place. Since Katie didn’t have any gifts related to spirits, she was a valuable ally, bringing in the outside look. And, naturally, wasn’t as affected as Josie was, which could come in handy every now and then.</div>
