<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="text-decoration: underline"><span style="font-weight: bold">Austin, Texas - Rockport, Texas - 2016</span></span><br/><br/>As soon as Josephine saw Katie’s message, already in Austin, she smiled. It seemed like they would have a nice place to stay. In such a small town, Josie wasn’t sure they would have a decent hotel. Having one always made things better. She knew that they would need a good place to rest at the end of the day. Especially being that their case sounded like a complicated one.<br/><br/>After checking Jean’s message, Josephine texted both colleagues. <span style="font-style: italic">‘I’m in the Austin airport. Renting a car, will meet you guys up at the hotel’</span>, her text read. Once she sent the text, Josie took care of renting the car, and turned her phone off. She hated driving with it on, as she got easily distracted by it. And she wanted to use the drive to Rockport to focus on what she could see and prepare her spirit for the walk in the house.<br/><br/>The road between Austin and Rockport was shorter than Josephine had expected. She would have loved to have more time on the road, as driving relaxed her, but there wasn’t much she could do. Entering the town, she drove slowly to the hotel. It always helped her to take her time and get the feeling of the place. It felt… old. Not that it was a bad thing. But old places often had many stories, and many ghosts - real or metaphorical. Hopefully they would only meet one ghost and get rid of it easily. For now, though, Josephine wanted to get some rest and sleep some of the jet lag off. She needed to be with her senses sharp when they went to the house.<br/><br/>Once in the hotel, Josephine gave her name and took her keys, thanking the lady behind the counter. She went into her room and dropped on the bed, taking a deep breath. Already removing her shoes, Josephine texted her two colleagues. <span style="font-style: italic">‘In the hotel. Taking a two-hour nap to get rid of the jet lag. Will talk to you guys when I get up, so we can start working’</span>. After making sure her text had been sent and setting her phone to wake her up in two hours, Josephine closed her eyes and fell asleep right away. They would have long hours or days ahead, and they should all try and get some rest if at all possible.</div>
