Fading agitated… Wailing… After that, disappearance… Small details. Perhaps important. And then she came to the jackpot. Couple of men at the alleyway, close to a fuse box… They had dropped some peculiar staff. Filled with runes and carvings like some decorated lucky amulet from gypsy or Native American. Judging by the reaction of those… Magically attuned around the table, there was something peculiar about the staff. Robert wasn’t a doctor of mathematics like Emma, but even he could sum two and two together. At least it was promising. A lead the Priest and Hawthorne investigators could follow.

Suggesting that the men at fuse box were behind the incident, several questions came with the assumption. Who were the men? Why they kidnapped the ghost? How exactly they did it? And how did they know about the ghost? How many people were involved with the kidnapping? This lead could be quite hot to handle, they definitely needed more information. Someone to inspect the archives about the staff and possible similar cases. Other people to inspect the crime scene. Cameras from local stores or companies. Witnesses, either those living on the building or on the street. Morgan could touch the staff to see if she found out anything relevant. 

There was also the unlikely chance that Catherine was making an act. Perhaps the staff was hers, perhaps the ghost disappeared by accident and they were going for a wild goose chase. It was unlikely assumption even in Robert's mind and nobody was that good of an actor anyway. But just in case, Robert would want to check her background. Information about the witness and her family. Could light her abilities and thing or two about sister too. 

At any case, it was good that there were 5 of them with pistols against the possible ghostnappers with at least 3 of them – Jacob, Morgan and Rob himself- knowing how to use them effectively. Emma and Jacob knew also knew some magic in case the opposition had some of that accursed magic too. With variety of unknown factors the diversity of skills at their disposal was their strength.

Robert rose his sight to meet Catherine. ”Alright then. Catherine, I wish you relax yourself a little and think back. Can you describe the persons who dropped this... Peculiar rod?” Robert asked with his caffeine-refreshed voice. ”Anything that struck out? Did you see any vehicle as they were leaving or could you hear them talking anything? Names, locations...” Robert tried to lead her thoughts, looking into the two wet emeralds that were her eyes.
