Outside the old church in Summerfield, Odie leaned against his car, lighting a cigarette. By the time he finished his smoke, Jonah and his crew had sealed the place off. "Find anything?" Odie asked.

Jonah gestured for his team to bring over a few boxes. They opened them to reveal black cloaks and some white masks that looked like props from a European play. "Is this all?" Odie frowned.

"That's it," Jonah confirmed.

Odie took a deep breath and glanced at Sophie, who was sitting in the car. "Is this it?" he asked, holding up one of the masks.

Sophie looked at the mask, her memory aligning with the sight. She nodded, "That's the one."

"Pack it up and take it away," Odie ordered.

"Decent enough," Odie shrugged.
