Summary: In 2075, paranormal super detective Jerry Hawkk died in his bed at the age of 68 due to a lung disease. His son, prosecutor Micheal Hawkk never believed his stories of the paranormal, thinking it all to be a load of lies. Now that he has died, he has left behind a life book of the case that began his career, a paranormal case that effected the lives of thousands. This book, 'Cross', has been left to Micheal in his will. Now reading the books and retracing his father's steps in his journey, will he believe in his father's career? Or will nothing about him change at all?

Chapter 5: Paranormal Ripper

Begin Cross

“Oh… my God…” I said out loud, as I stared at the poltergeist.

I, like Ms. Wood was, was terrified to see the being.

“Do you speak the English language?” Said Officer, completely cool, staring at the creature, gun drawn….. It was such a intense moment, I just wanted to put my hands in my pockets and walk out…

And I probably would have, if my car wasn’t completely loaded with magazines for the gun wasn’t there…..

All I could think was-

Dammit.

At Officer, the beast simply nodded ‘yes’, all the time it’s head was creaking as it went up and down.

“W-w-why are you here!” I asked, despite knowing I was probably jumping too far too quickly by asking this right off the bat…. I quickly realized this… but something strange happened.

While everyone had a look that practically screamed ‘YOU IDIOT!’… well… all but one. And it wasn’t Mary…

It was Officer.

In fact...

He.

Was

Smirking.

“Jack…”

Mostly everyone- Myself, Ms. Wood, the rest of the Research Society, all of us……. we were surprised. The only ones that didn’t look surprised were Phones and Officer. It just answered. No resistance.

“Jack….. Jack……… Jack…… Jack….” It just kept saying the name over and over again, like it was a broken record.

“Who is ‘Jack’?” Asked Maurice… and it responded.

It charged at us.

It was also swinging it’s pendulum.

“JJJJJJJJJJJJJJAAAAAAAAACCCCCCCCCCCCCCCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK!”

“FIRE!” Screamed Officer, as we all raised our guns and fired once (except for Ms. Wood).

All out bullets hit… it passed right through it, but it still screamed in agony.

“These guns are ritually blessed by the Church.” Said Officer, before I can say anything. “You fire a normal gun at a ghost, nothing happens… you fire one of these at them…”“And unless it is a masochist, it’ll be in for a hell load of pain!” He said, smirking.

“Wow…” said Ms. Wood, amazed. So was I.

“Ritually blessed bullets… !” My eyes then went wide, as I saw it go under the floor.

“Dammit!” Said Officer, as he tried to shoot at it one more time… too late.

“S.. should we split up and look for clues?” …………..

………….

I’m pretty sure I made everyone die a little inside when I said that.

Thank God however, Ricardo, the other funny and humorous guy just snickered.

“Nope.” He said. “This isn’t some book to read… this is serious. Splitting up like that will probably just get one of us killed.” He said, smiling, glad he could teach someone something.

“We stay as a group…” Said Officer, looking around.“Umm… excuse me?” Said Ms. Wood, voice shaken.

“Yes?” Asked Ricardo. “What is it.”

“I have a question……….. Can animals become poltergeists?”

At this, everyone looked at Officer and Phones, the two that had been in this Society the longest, out boss and vice boss.

“It’s possible…” Said Officer. “But it doesn’t explain why it’s so human like……. Ms. Wood, do you have anything else you need to tell us?”

The next two minutes was complete silence, and it was broken by the one who truly started it. Ms. Wood.

“Jack…………………..”

“What about ‘Jack’?” I asked. While not many, I took several lawyer classes, just in case they would become important in my future. And rule 1- always learn everything you can from a important figure… but you already know that don’t ‘you, Micheal?”

“They said a man named ‘Jack’ died here a long time ago… they say he came from London………”

“And?” I asked, and I was shocked by the next part.

“He claimed he was once attacked by Jack the Ripper.”

Jack the Ripper, one of, if not the most famous serial killer in history.

Be happy Mike, it’s time for a history lesson about something you probably already know about.

In 2017, they found a journal that paced together the final parts of the Ripper murders together.

Not.

It became known by that journal that one of the people who were suspected was Jack… or should I say, his puppet.

No one knows now who the true Jack was. Now, when talking about the mystery, as you know, they call the killer, who was once just called ‘Jack‘ the ‘Puppet‘, and the mastermind ‘Jack the Ripper’.

He got his puppet to kill prostitutes in London, and even pulled some strings to make sure the killer would be called ‘Jack the Ripper’. He killed approximately 100 others during the Jack the Ripper murders.

“Jack… the Ripper?” I asked, hoping I heard her wrong.

“Yes…… apparently the man was attacked and became traumatized, and came back here to the states…. In the last years of his life, in this house, he just in a rocking chair were the ghost keeps showing up, back and forth…”

“Hmm…” Said Officer, taking this all in. “Most likely the man who died here fused their spirit with your cat’s soul, and became the poltergeist it is now.”

Wow…. Before that day, I didn’t even think two spirits joining each other and fusing was possible.

“Umm….” I said, having an idea… I asked Officer. “Mr. Officer!”

“Yeah?” He asked. “What is it? If it’s another Scooby Doo quote don’t say anything please.”

“I read in a book… if you have a near-death experience, and a spirit or any paranormal thing is possessing an object, can’t your soul actually bring it out and force it into another object?”

“Yes.” Said Officer. “That is true.”

“… Can I go grab my lab top from my car?”

“... Excuse me?”

“I was thinking…” I said. “If I have a near death experience, I can grab all the holy energy from our guns, and put it in my lab top. I have one of those frequency sound things, so I can control the frequency of noise… maybe I can make it to emit holy noise to exorcise the spirit?”

“My God…” Said Officer, wide eyed. “That might be crazy enough to work… GO GET IT!” He screamed, as I quickly went to my car, and brought it out. “Okay, now

what?”

“First, we engage battle with the poltergeist, then we do your plan only if necessary.”

“Lets head to the basement…. I don’t have anything of value there.” Said Ms. Wood, looking at bullet holes in her house.

“Of course…” Said Maurice, as we down stairs.

It was just some storage space… We saw the being in the corner.

“Jack….. Jack……….. JAAAAAAAAAAACK!” It roared again. We didn’t have to fire, Phones took out his camera, flashed a picture, and it retreated.

“Phones’ phone is also ritually blessed. While it only works 6 times every 24 hours, six pictures can damage ghosts.” Said Ricardo, still having his gun raised.

“That’s coo- AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH”

Just then I felt a burning pain in me chest, I looked down to see the ghost’s pendulum had hit me. I was so surprised by the attack I accidentally fired, with the bullet missing and nearly hitting Ms. Wood’s foot.

“JERRY!” Said Ricardo, as he fired at the beast, hitting it once in the head, it then began running across the room, trying to attack everyone.

As I laid on the ground, injured, they fought for their lives and was trying to get a good shot at the being. It’s speed plus the cat’s spirit’s speed was too much (as well seeing as it could go under the floors and through walls).

Then I had it…A near death experience.

“What the f…” I was about to say, when I saw I was floating above my body.

If that one book I read the night before applying for this job was right, I had a chance to either-

A.) Just wait patiently and wait for a Shadow of Death to come and ask it to take me to Heaven or Hell, or tell it to let me become a ghost on Earth.

B.) Chose something to possess and live in it, but never be able to leave 3 miles from were it is.

C.) Presuming I can, grab any holy, unholy, or paranormal power or essence, return to my body, and stick it in something.

I chose C.

I quickly grabbed the gun and bullets, and extracted the holy ritual’s power from it. I then went back to my body…

Thank God that I wasn’t injured enough to cause permanent death.

“GAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!” When I woke up in my body, my right hand was burning, and I looked at it to see the holy golden energy… it was HOT.

And not hot like sexy hot, but I mean like ’holding fire in your bare hands hot’.

“NOW! DO IT NOW HAWKK!” Screamed Officer, who managed get a good shot at the poltergeist’s head.

“OKAY!” I screamed, as I put my hand on my laptop…

Just then, it turned from it’s normal black paint to golden colored.

“HAYWIRE!” I yelled, I then noticed everyone with a look on their face, surprised I said the name… I ignored it and just gave AI Haywire his orders. “TURN ON THE FREQUENCY OPTION!” I yelled into the Blue Tooth.

“Affirmative!” He said. I then flipped open my lab top, and it started.

The Holy Noise was extremely loud…. We all covered our ears from the sound.

And it was bad for the ghost however.

We then heard a scream from it I couldn’t even describe…… then a flash pf light.

“AAAAGGGGGGHHHHHHH!” Said all of us (of course, except for Officer and Phones, still keeping their cool.)

………………………..

When we opened our eyes, there was two spirits, not one.

One of a man, lying down.

And the other…

Ms. Wood’s cat.

“…..” At this, Ms. Wood was at a loss for words.

At seeing her owner again, the cat ran over and started meowing loudly. Ricardo and I couldn’t help but say…

“Awww!”

“I missed you too…” She said, eyes tearing, as her cat then finally moved on to the next life (while not the same place as humans, the spirits of animals also move on).

We then checked to see the spirit on the ground.

“You okay?” Asked Maurice to the spirit.

“Yes…” It said. “Thanks…………”

“A Shadow of Death will be here soon…” Said Officer, looking around. “It will determine if you can go to Heaven or Hell.”“Okay……” Said the spirit, and then it happened.

It appeared… and we all could see it.

What the hell? I thought. I believed only the dead or near-dying could see Shadow of Deaths… This would be cleared up in a latter case.

“Spirit that has haunted the Earth…” Said the Shadow.

It was completely black, had a serpent like tail, all white eyes, had claws, no other physical features.

“You have commited several acts of evil, but you have commited far much good then evil, and has earned the right to enter Heaven.” Said the Shadow of Death.

“I wish to enter Heaven.” Said the spirit it helped.

Just then, the Doors opened. The Doors to Heaven…

I cannot describe It. It’s beauty, It’s magnificence……

“Thank you……” Said the spirit, as it entered with the Shadow.

That was the end for the main part of this tale.

………………….

Then came the next day.

“Thank you all so much!” Said Ms. Wood happily, as she wrote out a check for our services.

“It’s nothing!” Said I and Ricardo at the same time, letting out a cheesy grin.

“There is just one more thing I would like to ask you…” Said Officer.

“What is it?” Asked Ms. Wood.

“Is there anything at all you forgot to tell us?” He asked.

All the other members of the Society catched on, and their faial expressions changed tos serious.

Only myself and Ms. Wood didn’t catch on.

“Umm… no…” Said Ms. Wood, confused. I was confused also.

“Then never mind.” Said Officer, as he walked too his car.

“Talk about a weird night, eh?” I asked AI Haywire.

“Affirmative.” He said. Once Ms. Wood was inside, I asked Officer something.

“Hey, what was with that question?”

He didn’t answer, instead Phones texted me.

‘You believe anything your told, don’t you?’ It said.

We then drove home… and spend a hell load of money on gas.

“IT’S GOOD TO BE HOME!” I cried, getting out of my car.

“I wonder what that message ment…” I said opening up my cell phone and looking at the message….

Then….

I got what it meant…

I dropped my phone at my own stupidity as I realized something.

If they spirit was so demanding it wouldn’t even let her leave her bed when it was haunting, and only stayed in it’s haunting area unless she moved…

Then…

How and when could it have possibly told her he was once attacked by Jack the Ripper? …

Micheal, and too anyone who may be reading this (I just hoped Micheal let you read it)… You probably know this if your mature enough to be reading this.

At one point in our life.

We will at least hear of the one we will consider to be ‘true evil’.

Even if we just stay at our house all our life and only watch T.V., even if it’s a fictional character, we will meet or see ‘True Evil.’

This is inevible.

Nine missions later, we would end up in London…

And for the first time, we would meet a ‘true threat’.

If all we encountered before were ‘enemies’.

Then this was a ‘boss.’

It wasn’t until this case anything of importance ever happned.

In the other 6 societies of Paranormal Researching before, nothing big happened truth be told, they just closed for various reasons (but a majority of the time was being destroyed by a spirit).

But now… our destinies would finally set coarse.

And little did we know, in not much time more…

We would do battle.

With probably the most dangerous poltergeist in all of existence.

End Cross and End Chapter

Yes, I have an OC Jack the Ripper. I’m not the first to do this, and I’m prety sure I won’t be the last.
