Chapter 484 - 31

When you get to Diego's house, Mrs. Jimenez is pacing the living room while on the phone.

"Speak to a representative," she says, then shortly after shouts "For the love of god, I'd like to speak to a human being! This should have been resolved yesterday!"

She sees you and her angry expression switches to a smile as she waves. "Hi, Petzeiros, Diego and Gabriela are in the basement," she says.

As you head downstairs, the smell of cookies is unmistakable. Normally you'd find Diego sitting in front of the television with a controller in his hands, but right now he's on his laptop with a depressed look on his face. Gabriela is sprawled out on the rug next to the plate of cookies, her phone in front of her.

"That doesn't have anything to do with the thing you did, does it?" you ask Diego as you point up at the ceiling to roughly where his mother is.

"What thing?" Gabriela asks.

"No, are you kidding me?" he says. "There are some things even I won't do in the name of paranormal research."

"What thing?" Gabriela asks again, annoyed at being ignored.

"Mind your own business," Diego says. "It's high school stuff."

"I'm about to be in high school in, like, a few days."

"You know what? Grab some cookies and let's go up to my room," Diego says, shutting his laptop and snatching one last cookie before heading up the stairs.

Gabriela groans. "He's being even more annoying than usual lately. Why?" she asks as you bend over to grab a couple of those cookies for yourself.
