She took a few steps and looked around. It was just as she remembered it. Britney turned to Min, as she said, "We don't have a layout, but this house isn't terribly complex." The first thing the group laid eyes upon was a flight of stairs that lead to the bedroom, and to the side was a hallway that went to a kitchen. To their left, and the room that Rita entered, was the living room with two sofas, a bookcase, and a TV. To their right was a room with a computer and several more bookcases, and was the study. "Okay, let's hurry up and get to work. I'd look into the study," Britney said, "But, I'm going to look into the upper floors? Who wants to come with?"

Kimberly added to Rien's rather... insensitive comment. She only vaguely knew Sharon, but word on the street (from one of her "clients") was that she was out of town. She only personally wondered what role did the girl played in all this madness. Or what she'd think of her father being "dead." Kimberly looked around as Billy dug through the gutted muscle car. "I... get the feeling we should get out of here sooner rather than later." She didn't know, but she felt like Sharon was going to come back at the literal worst time and they'd get in a lot of shit. And Kimberly would rather not. "He was probably one of those dads who couldn't just wait to get their hands on a muscle car," Jordan dryly said to Billy as she crossed her arms. "Even if they're buying one big work in progress that they can never finish... oh." Jordan realized just [i]what[/i] she said, but she then turned to Kimberly and said, "... you're just realizing that[i] now?[/i]" She snickered. "I don't think anyone realizes that John wasn't the only person that lived here." Kimberly said as she went to the truck, and dropped down underneath it to look at the underside. Maybe they'd have something there. Jordan on the other hand just shrugged as she went to John's musclecar, and began searching it. Okay. She had to harkon back to her highschool days of hiding things in her own car. If she was going to hide something (like a lot of time; weed) then... She opened the door, before she glanced at the door panel, and walked over to the pile of tools and grabbed a crowbar. Jordan wanted to get out of here fast as possible, so she wasn't playing around out there. She jammed the crowbar in the door panel, and pried it open. If somebody bitches about it, then that was the least of her concerns right now. The panel hit the ground, and it revealed an old envelope. What was conspicious was that it had [code]NEVER FORGET[/code] written on it. "Guys, I got something!" She raised in the air as Kimberly immediately ran over to her. "Well, open it so we'd know that it's useful," Kimberly said, and Jordan opened it up to reveal a collection of photographs. The first was one of a man that looked like John Reid, another woman, and both of them were holding two children. The photograph was old and worn out, so it was hard to make out all the details. But, she was certain that Reid only had [i]one[/i] child. She wondered for a moment, before she continued going through the envelop to reveal a key. It wasn't a key to like a car, but it seemed to be a doorkey? Could it be for his house? It doesn't make sense to leave a key for your house out here. Then she continued going through the photographs to reveal a bunch of highschool photographs, a lot of them with that woman. These photographs were clearly set in the 80's, as many of them were of football games, kids in the gym, swimming, and so on. Hillview High School was a name that appeared a lot in the background. What was conspicuous was the fact that many of the kids had their faces crossed off for [i]some[/i] reason. That was what caught Kimberly's attention, and the last photograph was of a graduation.... where everyone had their faces crossed off with a red mark opposed to the black one that was used, and the words that were written... [b][code]THE PAST IS DEAD, AND SO ARE[/code] [u][code]THEY[/code][/u][/b] Kimberly showed everyone the rather disconcerting images, and asked, "... [i]What is this?[/i]" [hr][CENTER] [img]https://i.imgur.com/X7zKc5z.png[/img] [img]https://i.imgur.com/8XlJDkh.png[/img] [b][code]The Reid Farmhouse – Barn[/code][/b] [sub][@FernStone][@Prosaic][@Mike73][/sub][/center][hr] "It's perfect!" Lynette said to Caela as she took the stick. She walked over to a support beam and held the end with both hands so she could use all of her strength to break the end of it against a support beam. Enough so that it would be pointy enough to make this a lot easier. Though, she turned towards the group with worried eyes. "... You all might want to get out the way. " She softly warned the group as she walked to the center of the floor and drew a symbol - the symbol of air. A massive one in all of the dust and cowpies. "Well," Hagan said as he took a few steps back and crossed his arms. "I kinda want to see what you're doing." He smirked as he stood in the doors of the farm. Lynette smirked as she finished the glyph and deviously said, "... Well, can't say I didn't warn you." Suddenly, the massive glyph started glowing a blue color, and Lynette wasted no time in hauling ass out the doors past Hagan. Massive violent winds were summoned that sucked up all the dust and cowpies into a funnel, and assembled it into the center of the room... before sending it flying right out the door. Right at Hagan. "Shit!" Hagan said as he threw his arms up in the way to shield his face as he prepared for the inevitable... however, not a thing hit him. He opened his eyes, and saw a transparently, vaguely orange, wall in front of him him that took the blunt of the literal shitstorm that was heading his way. It just remained against the wall, as it slowly faded away and Hagan took a few steps back. He raised an eyebrow as he looked around, and wondered what in the tits just happened. "What the fuck was that?" Oh, Lynette just found this a little bit more interesting. Even though what she did goes against the whole "leave no traces" order by Britney... Lynette wasn't going to search through a pile of thousand year old shit. "Told you to get out the way." She playfully teased Hagan as she sauntered past him and looked inside. It seemed as if her cleaning did the trick because now she could see the floorboards. Which was perfect! Because now she could clearly see a giant hatch in the middle of the floor and she got excited. Though, when she was about to run over to the door, Hagan grabbed onto her shoulder to stop her. "Slow your roll," Hagan casually said. "If we go down there, we go as a group." He said to... Lynette's extreme displeasure. He walked over to the hatch, and pulled it open to reveal... complete darkness. "... Who wants to jump in?!" He asked with a toothy grin as Lynette shook her head, and then pulled out her phone and turned on it's flashlight. It revealed... a ladder, and a tunnel. Both Hagan and Lynette looked in confused, but Lynette was the first to take action. She grabbed a shovel that was lying around, and a marker, before she wrote the symbol of fire on it, and climbed down. Aiming the shovel down the tunnel like a staff, the symbol glowed brightly, before a fireball went down the tunnel... ... and kept going. "Ain't too sure about this one, pals," Hagan said, "Should we even travel down a weird ass, dark-ass, tunnel under some dead guy's barn?"
