As Brandice finished smudging the sage around the area, the mood started to lighten. This was an ancient practice used to ward off evil engergies and cleanse an area and it had appearntly worked, because when she forced herself to look back where she'd see the dark entity it was no longer on the wall. Brandi allowed a nervous chuckle to escape her lips.<br/><br/>â€œ I'm fine , I swear, its just a little blood; but what the fuck was after me? I mean... â€œ Alyssa said, cursing a bit like Greg.  â€œ This shadow fucking thing was nothing like nails scratching wood. It could actually touch me. I thought ice was the coldest I have ever touched, but  nope... I was wrong.â€ She concluded, while trying to put weight on the wounded leg.<br/><br/>"Whoa.....Whoa, whoa, whoa.....A spirit attacked you here? Have you ever experienced anything like this before?" Jacob asked, the worry in his face was palpable.<br/><br/>"That's got to be the 'final straw' right? " Greg interrupted before Alyssa could answer. "... I mean if she has some sort of demon or spirit following her, then we can't bring her, right? It breaks protocol, it'll spoil the investigation. If we go to the Crenshaw place and get a bunch of great evidence, but it's a false-positive  because your girlfriend here brought along her own ghosts then when another group comes in and investigates and doesn't get the same results, we'll look like we made the shit up!" Greg started in again, he apparently was still looking for a way to make sure Alyssa couldn't come.<br/><br/>"Shut the fuck up, Greg....I swear to god if you don't drop that shit already, I am gonna punch you square in the mouth...Do you understand me?" Jacob said assertively to Greg; just centimeter from the man's face; before turning his attention back to Alyssa.<br/><br/>The movement of her foot that was injured, forced her to sort of hop a step forward. Yet again wobbling while the foot screamed in pain as if fire engulfed it entirely. â€œ Jacob, any pain killers?â€ She turned to him causing her to fall backwards toward the grass, but Jacob reached out and caught her. He picked her up, scoping underneath her legs and started toward the door. Al was holding it open, so it hadn't locked this time. "No sorry Lyssa...." Jacob answered.<br/><br/>Brandi trotted up when she heard Alyssa ask for pain killers, her attitude toward Alyssa had changed since seeing the dark figure on the wall just seconds ago and now she offered help in the only manner she could. "I got you girl. " She said digging around in her satchel again. Brandice produced a single white pill, large and nondescript , just as Jacob set Alyssa down on the couch inside the store.<br/><br/>"Hold it...What is it?" Jacob asked suspiciously.<br/><br/>" Hydrocodone" Brandi shot back.
