GHOST HOUSE

You enter the living room and barely take the time to look around. The meeting with Eddie has shaken you badly. Dotty leads the way over to what looks like a plain swinging door.

DOTTY

Looks like this leads to the kitchen. ...You okay?

ROSIE

We... We just s-spoke to a...

DOTTY

Relax. I- I'm sure it's just... a prank or some shit. Hardy har, everyone, real good laugh. Let's find Moe.

ROSIE

Right. Right. Of course. A prank. Right.

You take a deep breath, touching your hand to your throat to calm down. It's then when you notice.

ROSIE

W-Wait, I- my necklace!

DOTTY

What?

ROSIE

My necklace, my pearl necklace. I lost it. Can we stop to look for it?

DOTTY

Do we have to drop everything and hunt it down right now? Can't it wait?

ROSIE

It was my mom's...

DOTTY

...We can look for it after we find Moe. Okay? Three eyes are better than two.

ROSIE

S-Sure. We can do that.

Dotty pauses before taking out the photograph of the two children and cramming it into the cabinet next to the door.

ROSIE

What are you doing?

DOTTY

I don’t wanna be carrying that around. It’s freaky. And it’s taking up pocket space. Ready?
