Chapter 3: GnS Detective.

They heaved a sigh of relief. 

"N-n-now? H-h-he will come b-back!!" Gothy screamed with terror. Lamarch and Darwin held his shoulders and asked him to relax. Richie stood up and turned on the lights. Lamarch, Darwin and Gothy blowed off the candles. Richie started pacing across the hall. 

"Now what to do?" He murmured to himself.

Everyone arched their eyebrows in worry and looked at Richie.

"Jeriko!" Exclaimed Richie.

"Woohoo!" Lamarch hooted.

"That's a great idea. We'll go tomorrow morning, done?" Gothy saw a feeble ray of hope.

Darwin showed a thumbs up.

The next morning, they gathered up at Gothy's house as Jeriko's office was near from there. They got in Darwin's car and they drove off to Jeriko's office. 

Gothy who was sitting with Lamarch on the back seat, anxiously said, "I hope he'll solve the problem,"

Darwin was puffing out a cloud of smoke, and trying to comfort everyone said he, "Umff, just have trust on Jeriko. He'll solve it." He was driving the car with a cigarette in his left hand. He was sort of addicted to the good feeling he got as he smoked something, either a weed or a cigarette.

Half an hour later they arrived at Jeriko's office. The office was a small glass cabin attached to a laboratory. A board was hung outside,

"JERIKO, THE GnS-DETECTIVE"

GnS stood for Ghost N (and) Spirits.

Jeriko was a well known detective, famous for having caught many fierce ghosts like Scavabone--- the scavenger like ghost who ate humans after removing their bones (scav a-bone) and Hairloveedo--- who loved to make wigs out of human hair for skeletons. Fabricozombie was a zombie who worked in collaboration with the spirit, Hairloveedo.

Fabricozombie would stitch clothes for the skeletons out of human skins. He was an expert in doing so. He would make shirts out of fair coloured skins of humans and make designs on it with the brown or black skin. He along with Hairloveedo would together organize a fashion show of their skeleton models in the Ghostland Of King Sawdent, entertaining the King and the other fellow supernatural spectators, including the zombies and the vampires and the witches.

It was sad for the Ghostland that Hairloveedo, Fabricozombie and Scavabone were the captives of Jeriko the great ghost detective. 

At the gate of Jeriko's office was a little scanner that scanned the visitors for confirmation of the clients entering were humans and not ghost or supernatural creatures.

They entered the cabin and met Jeriko. He was a close friend of Richie. Actually it was Jeriko who gifted him the Ouija Board. They shook hands with each other and Darwin and Gothy sat on the chairs. There were four chairs for clients that matched the the mahogany desk, polished in purplish brown... even and smooth. Richie and Lamarch preferred to stand for sometime and free their legs, after sitting for so long during the journey.

"Heheyy Richie!" pushing the black, glass rimmed spectacle upwards on his nose, "How're you doing?" continued the lanky geeky guy dressed in a brown tunic. He stood up from the chair, putting the black, slick pen down on the notepad over the table.

Jeriko moved closer towards Richie who was standing in front of the desk. Richie hugged Jeriko and enthusiastically greeted, "Jeriko!"

Richie hung his head down in worry. He continued, "We are in a trouble, Jerico." He paused for a second and turned around as he didn't want his tears to be spotted by anyone. He got emotional on the idea that one of his three best friends would be losing life soon, if he didn't do something. He was lost for a few seconds in his thoughts, "It's fine if the ghost takes my life. But--my innocent friends?" He shook his head and continued, "Remember the Ouija Board you gifted me?"

The room was silent and no one uttered a single word. Jeriko answered him with grave seriousness,"Yes! I do."

"We were playing with it last night and the ghost said he was free since a long time," Richie looked back at Jeriko, "And he has resolved to kill," he paused, "Someone of my friends."

"Oh! Did you ask the Ghost's name?"

"We did." Lamarch extended his palm out, gesturing as he was explaining, "But he refused and said he won't tell until we know each other better."

"Hmm. That's a serious matter, but don't you worry, guys," Jeriko pulled the hat down, covering his forehead, "I have a great plan for you." Jeriko told the plan to the boys of the age range 18-20. 

"Awesome! We'll begin the plan from tomorrow itself." said Darwin.
