Jack looked around the house trying to think of the creepiest things he could do so that when the family came home they would be scared.
After thinking about it for a while he started by going around the house and knocking all picture frames over.
Actually, by this point, after Jack went all out yesterday for the level-up, he doesn't know if he can top it without going full-blown evil spirits or demons and attacking them.
He doesn't think he can do that to good people like the couple. one day he's going to have to choose whether he wants to lose the good humane part of himself for just an experience increase.
Honestly, he loved the paranormal, and after having an experience himself when he was young and watching so many investigators find incredible evidence he wanted to become a paranormal investigator himself after college.
Unfortunately, he died before that could happen. Who knows maybe he could still do that just instead of investigating as a living being, he could find out the truth about the afterlife far easier as a ghost.
He could also help the living find peace by solving cold cases and getting information it's impossible to get. if he got strong enough he could even help catch criminals.
After Jack finished knocking down all the photo frames he could find which weren't a lot he checked his energy on his status.
[10/15]
'What else can I do?' Jack pondered to himself. Eventually, he decided to open every door in the house, After doing that he was empty on energy, so he Went back to watching television. He was glad he turned it in otherwise he would be bored waiting for his energy to recharge which by the time it did the family should be just about home.
7 hours later he almost fully recharged before the family came home.
....
With everything that's been happening David and Sarah are cautious when they come home now. who knows what will happen next after all?
The house went from normal to full-blown shadow figures, footsteps, and door openings within a couple of days.
After they opened the front door they didn't immediately see anything strange except hearing the television on but they still held Angelica back from running straight in like she usually does.
And as they just about thought everything was normal after taking a few steps they noticed the basement door was open and with a few more they saw Angelica's door open.
David shared a look with his wife before he took them to the kitchen while checking for intruders even though he doubted it because the front door didn't look broken in and the windows were fine, it didn't help to be safe.
Soon they reached the kitchen and Sarah started on a snack for Angelica while David went to thoroughly check the rest of the house just in case.
Jack saw David going around and feels like he shouldn't scare him just yet so David completes his check with no incident except him being hesitant to check the basement considering the two greatest frights that happened there.
After David joined the women at the dining table he elected to bring up the person he was bringing in to help.
"I talked to my friend earlier at work, he knows a bit about this stuff, and when I mentioned some things to him he told me he had just the solution to help us find out what is going on. " David whispered to his wife to not attract his daughter's attention.
"That's great when can we expect him?" Sarah inquired about who he is.
"Anytime, he gets off with me and says he just had to make a couple of stops to prepare some things. " David said although inside he was dreading this guy's help because he's not always completely reliable.
"Alright, you watch Angelica I'm going to Clean up the house a little before he gets here. " Sarah says as she gets up from the table and moved to leave.
"Don't forget to put the vase and broom back from where we took them!" David shouted as she left to remind her.
Meanwhile, Jack wondered what David's friend had planned.
....
After about an hour Sarah was done cleaning up and fixing the picture frames, the family was resting in the living room with the parents watching television while Angelica played with her dolls.
*Knock* *Knock* *Knock*
"I'll go get it."
Hearing the front door David got up and walked to the door while speaking to his wife.
As he stood in front of the door he hesitated for just a second to prepare himself for his friend before he gathered himself and opened the door.
"Eyyy hola amigo(hi friend), how are you doing? Don't worry I prepared everything just like I said. I didn't forget a thing."
After David opened the door a middle-aged Mexican who was carrying a shopping bag excitedly invited himself in while exclaiming and hugging him.
"Welcome to my home Rodriquez. Please, come in, my wife and daughter are in the living room." David hugged the man back and then led him down the hall toward the living room.
"Nice place you got here amigo." Rodriguez complimented.
"Thank you. Girls let me introduce you, this is my friend Rodriquez. Rodriquez, this is my wife and daughter Sarah and Angelica. " David smiled wryly as he led his friend into the living room and introduced them to each other.
"Nice to meet you, Rodriguez."
"Hello, uncle!" Sarah stood up and greeted him with Angelica.
"Woah, you sure hit the jackpot didn't you amigo? Hola(Hi) missus and Hola to you too little miss." Rodriguez grinned widely at his good colleague's family.
*Sigh* "Why don't we go to the kitchen to talk." David sighed and led him to the kitchen with his wife and sat him opposite his wife as she sat down first. Rodriguez despite his age acts more energetic than even his daughter. David took a seat next to his wife.
"What do you have for me, Rodriguez?" David queried as he looked at the bag his friend brought with him.
