  • PANEL 1: Eddie approaches, causing the two Vargas's to look his way. EDDIE: Nah, kid, Nate's got the right idea. PANEL 2: Eddie looks off to the side, nervous. EDDIE: That warehouse has been around longer than I've been alive. It got abandoned a few years back, 's too dangerous for a kid. PANEL 3: Eddie kneels down to Joey's eye level, winking at him and giving him finger guns. EDDIE: I'll be sure t' tell ya the whole story when we get back, though. PANEL 4: When Eddie stands, Nathan leans close to him and whispers. NATHAN: We'll see about that, this could get ugly. PANEL 5: Nathan gets down to Joey's eye level. He puts his hands on the boy's shoulders and smiles softly at him. NATHAN: We'll only be out for a few hours. You hold down the fort, remember to call me if anything happens.

  • PANEL 1: Nathan plants a kiss on Joey's forehead, causing the boy's face to scrunch up. NATHAN: ¡Te amo, mi niño de sol! PANEL 2: Eddie and Nathan begin to walk out the door. EDDIE: Aw, that was cute. NATHAN: Shut up-- PANEL 3: When they leave, Joey turns his attention to the window. PANEL 4: Joey climbs up to look out the window. Outside, he sees Nathan and Eddie heading towards the woods. Nathan now has his trench coat over his shoulders and is carrying his lantern. PANEL 4: Joey slumps back down, looking disappointed. PANEL 5: Joey pulls something out of his front pocket. PANEL 6: We see it's Eli's business card. PANEL 7: Joey stares down at the card, deep in thought.

  • PANEL 1: An outdoor shot of a run down old warehouse. There's a loud SMASH as something breaks off screen. PANEL 2: We see inside the warehouse. Eddie jumps down, presumably having broken a window and climbed in. He sticks the landing. PANEL 2: Nathan follows suit, but he lands flat on his face and cries out in pain. Eddie smiles in amusement. EDDIE: You, uh...need a hand there, pal? PANEL 4: Eddie helps Nathan sit up. NATHAN: Why does it not surprise me that you seem used to this? EDDIE: Who, me? Pullin' a B&E? I could never, Mr.Vargas, ya wound me!

  • PANEL 1: We see over the duo's shoulders into the room they're in. They're standing in an abandoned movie set. An old kitchen set is in shambles in front of them, graffiti covering the walls and old film equipment scattered everywhere. PANEL 2: Nathan looks over the area. NATHAN: Huh, haven't seen something this desolate in ages. No wonder ghosts love this place. PANEL 3: Nathan glances over at Eddie. PANEL 4: Eddie looks incredibly uneasy. PANEL 5: Nathan looks up at Eddie in concern. PANEL 6: Eddie turns to face Nathan when he speaks. NATHAN: Uh...you alright there?

  • PANEL 1: Eddie snaps back to reality. EDDIE: Huh--? PANEL 2: Eddie puts his hands up dismissively, avoiding eye contact with Nathan. EDDIE: Oh! Yeah, yeah, no, I'm all good! Jus', y'know, old building. Probably has a buncha asbestos or somethin'. PANEL 3: Nathan stares up at Eddie in silence. PANEL 4: Nathan walks further into the room, Eddie looks unhappy. Nathan's trying to hide a small smile as he takes out his lantern. EDDIE: I'm a street artist! Spray paint is no laughin' matter, I take my respiratory health very seriously I'll have you know! NATHAN: Yeah, yeah, I get it. If it helps, I'll make this quick. PANEL 5: Eddie looks curious. EDDIE: What does that thing even do, anyway? PANEL 6: Nathan looks back with a smirk. NATHAN: What do you think? PANEL 7: Nathan's eyes begin to glow green. PANEL 7: Nathan holds out the lantern as it glows. NATHAN: It guides.

  • PANEL 1: The light of the lantern begins to fade, there's no response from anyone. PANEL 2: Nathan looks uneasy. NATHAN: ...Maybe there's nobody left. PANEL 3: Nathan puts a finger to his chin, thinking. NATHAN: Usually this thing tells spirits where a safe place is, but if nobody's responding then-- PANEL 4: Nathan jumps as a loud CRASH is heard from above. PANEL 5: The noisy chaos continues overhead. PANEL 5: Eddie smiles, pointing up at the ceiling. EDDIE: Oooorrr maybe they're just tryna find their way. Wanna do a li'l extra guidance? NATHAN: Let's go!

  • PANEL 1: Meanwhile, someone somewhere begins to open a door. The door creaks loudly. PANEL 2: Mai pokes her head out from behind the door. MAI: ...Hello? Is- Is anybody here? PANEL 3: Mai is holding a strange looking radio. A screen in its center indicates that it's detecting something. MAI: My name is Mai Nguyen! PANEL 4: We see Mai walking through the hallway of an abandoned building. MAI: Uh...kind of a rookie P.I, kinda not. I mean, I've been doing this for a bit. P.I. as in, uh-- paranormal investigator, not private investigator. PANEL 5: Mai smiles nervously as she keeps talking. MAI: I know that's not, like, the right term for it or whatever but-- it just sounds cooler to say P.I, y'know what I mean? PANEL 6: Mai waves her hand around. MAI: Wait-- okay, getting off track. Sorry.

  • PANEL 1: Mai holds the radio out, hunching over as she gazes up. MAI: Are there any spirits here tonight? PANEL 2: The radio begins to crackle. PANEL 3: Soon, the sounds become clearer: Whistling. PANEL 4: Mai walks further down the hall. PANEL 5: Mai begins to cough as smoke wafts into the hallway. PANEL 6: She looks up, the smoke still trailing past her. PANEL 6: The whistling continues, we see the smoke is coming out of a room with an ajar door.

  • PANEL 1: Mai pokes her head into this room. PANEL 2: We see a spirit hovering in the room, rifling through one of the many boxes scattered throughout. PANEL 3: A closer look at this spirit. He's a young white man with a large pompadour and leather jacket. He's holding a cigarette in his mouth, a small trail of black liquid oozing from between his lips. PANEL 4: The spirit finally notices Mai, whipping his head around to face her. PANEL 5: The spirit throws his head back in exasperation, taking the cigarette out of his mouth. SPIRIT: Ah, shit, just another ghost hunter, huh? PANEL 6: Mai looks around the room, trying to find the spirit. SPIRIT: If I gotta deal with one more'a these I'ma flip my lid.
