The woman rose an eyebrow with the mutter. Sounded like there was something to that after all. And not even phased about their casual mention of death? There was something off about this child, indeed.
She sighed as they walked away, off to talk to somebody a little less friendly, no doubt. And with a peer of her eyes, she saw that they did. A foreigner, just like herself. They wandered off somewhere with them, and the woman laid back again, taking in a deep breath. She had the distinct feeling this was going to be a long day.

Sometimes when you're driving down a road, a bug hits your windshield. It's ugly and unpleasant, but you just activate the wipers / cleaning fluid and it's gone in a few seconds. It's just part of driving down the road. You don't dwell on it, because that'd be silly. Bugs aren't worth the time.
You just discard their guts and keep on driving.

The child wandered off, however, one distinct little cat decided to stay, peering, glaring at the woman with prying eyes before wandering off, the cat was much more strange than the child and seemed way too close to the child, as if the child was but a tool to it. The cat followed letting out a very concerning "Mrrrrrow!" before dissapearing from sight, and with that, the child had completely vanished from prying eyes of the woman and a bit more in danger's clutches than the child had even realized.

Listening to the man while she was cleaning up her pot she then absentmindedly said "Yes, yes, that's fine. I have had many people look over the house many times, It might not help very much, but I know the drill." before she decides to put her jacket on, seeming a bit cooler than usual, but that didn't really bother her, it happened from time to time where her heating bill was much higher than normal. She even had the heating and plumbing people come in regularly and tell her that there was no real reason as to why the house was cold, in fact the place should be a sauna at the temperature she put it, she didn't really care. "Just be a bit cautious, the heating system is a bit off, the heating guy says there is nothing wrong, but the place is always freezing, heck, he says the place should be a sauna at the temp I placed it too and it is wasting precious money." Is what she managed to say before she got prepared to leave. "Anyways, I had better let you go, so be sure to take care of my daughter's room, I want it left exactly how it was, don't want her to be upset at me if she does come back." in a more hopeful tone, though this can be seen by others as being in denial that her daughter is dead.

Having been given the permission to stop by her house, Jacob was a bit pleased. "Don't worry I'll be sure to keep your daughter's room in the same condition it was in when I first got there. In other words I'll be sure to not touch anything. The problem with your heater shouldn't bother me so don't worry your little head about me. It'll be like I wasn't even there. Anyways thank you for giving me the go ahead to come take a look at things around your house, and another thanks for confirming our appointment. Anyways I'll let you go now. I'll be at your house in about 30 minutes at least. Most will be an hour. Just don't forget our appointment later today. Anyways, goodbye." Jacob finished as he then hung up on the woman... a little... suddenly.
After that Jacob let out a small sigh as he put his phone in his pocket before taking one last sip of his coffee. "Well. Guess it's time to head to work." He said rather dryly as he got up from his bed. Grabbing his keys he quickly made his way for the door.

having been hung up on, the woman decides to move out the door and goes straight the work, on the way, she swears something is following her, like normal. She just shrugs it off but has her keys batched together like her own form of a weapon in case some creep tries to hit on her. she would often times turn around, seeming paranoid to those around her but she didn't care, her neighbors knew that she was going through a hard time so they know to keep their distance from her anyways, so she didn't quite care about her real appearance on the outside to them. She only cared about heading to her workplace and getting the day over and done with.
((no idea what to do with Sabrina at the moment, so for now I'll post this. Was kinda hoping drad would finish his character app, though he keeps forgetting to do so/cant find images of his character.))

Jacob had left the hotel room he will be calling home for the next few days with his coat, cellphone and car keys in his pocket, and a now just recently finished coffee as he walked to his car. While walking out to his car he just looked around at the outside of the Hotel. Seeing a trash can he crumpled up his foam coffee cup and tossed it over into the trash can. Having unfortunately missed he just drooped his arms to his side and sighed. Though he still continued to watch his surroundings as he approached his car door. Once at his car he took out his car keys and began searching around. Just a quick scan of the area as if he's just looking at... something. Which honestly he kinda was.
The way he seemed to just subconsciously scan the area would have looked a bit odd. Almost as if he seemed slightly paranoid, but in reality he wasn't He was just keeping an eye on the things that lurk in the shadows. Just looking around the area he could see the very occasional small shadow dash out of sight. Either behind something, or just out of his vision. Sometimes he'd see something more... nasty. Something much bigger. Usually either taller, or just some sort of shadowy blob that just like all the others he's seen before. Only ducks behind cover. This time however, at this hotel in this city. Things were different. Unusually 'quiet' as he'd call them. As he didn't see anything. Granted there are a few people outside, but at this hour 'they' will be still rather active. Yet so far. Nothing. No real activity. Which from experience usually means something has claimed this area as part of it's territory.
This has been his world for what felt like years now. Ever since his brother had disappeared, and he began his traveling of the country. During his travel's he's seen the things that use shadows as cover. Creatures both... harmless and terrifying. Most of the time the 'cases' he's worked on had been the result of one of the nastier 'shadow people' as he called them.
Either way after a brief scan of the area he took a deep breath and hopped in his car. Which he then promptly started to begin driving to his current client's home to investigate.

(Ima say to do a time skip cause no way of doing it without it)
Medford, Oregon - 2:00PM
Having done her shift, she decides to go home, though, as she goes to turn the keys to her car, it seems to not work. She would sigh and take out her cell phone to call a tow before her boss comes in.
"Yo, Duguard! What are you still doing here?"He said is a very stern and almost harsh voice, she winced at it, but tries to calm herself before breaking down.
"Sorry Sir! I j-just have m-my car breaking d-down."She managed to stutter before she looks down, unable to look him in the eye, she really didn't like him all that much.
"It won't happen a-again."
"Better not. I don't wanna have to write you up now, do I?"He says, almost softening his voice so she doesn't get too upset. "It's been several months since you lost her but you don't have to be so hard on yourself. Look, I'll deal with the towing, you just get yourself home and in bed, you need it." Is all he said before she thanked him and she wen to go catch a bus, knowing full well she will have no way of getting there without arriving home no later than 5:00 thanks to how the buses run here and how late they can get sometimes.
Woodland, Washington
As the hours pass, the girl had been running for some time, and had finally collapsed in the middle of a crowd, gaining unwanted attention. She had been covered in soot and clutching a journal in her hands before her little companion appeared and gave a very, VERY annoyed look in her eyes.
"What's that look, you expect me to remember every single warning sign mocha?"She huffed in short bursts.
"Mrrrow...."Her ears pinned down, as if to say "I told you so, child." before letting out a huff of annoyance.
"Yeah yeah, I know this place is compromised. 'Mother' will find us soon, so will that.... um.... what was it?" She says as she flipped through her journal full of different monsters before she came across the page of "Arachnae" as well as the proper way to kill it. "huh..." is all she can say before going to leave the area, very exhausted.

It wasn't that long of a drive thankfully... No more than probably a half hour or more after he left his hotel room... but in the end he made it to his client's house.
The home of a single mother, and what once was her daughter before the girl went missing several months back. Judging by the look of the house, it was quite a simple one... almost reminds Jacob of his own home growing up. Either way when he had arrived earlier he had taken the spare house key hidden under the welcome mat that his client left for him, and with it he had entered the house and began investigating.
He spent the past several hours going through the house, being careful not to disturb or make a mess out of anything like he was asked... While he was searching throughout the house though he did feel a bit... off. Sometimes it would feel as if there was another presence in the house with him, and other times not. Hell a few instances during his 'investigation' he could have swore he saw something move in the corner of his eye. Either way it wasn't something entirely new to him, in fact since he had been on the road traveling from state-to-state helping people he's had many different kinds of encounters with things that people would claim to be 'paranormal'.
Before he became a travelling 'detective', he would normally scoff and call it tricks of the mind. The past few years though his mind had been mostly changed, but that's a different story...
"No signs of anything out of the ordinary... Nothing that seems to be out of place for a home like this... then again I don't have much to go on as of now. No signs of a possible kidnapping, then again she did say her daughter disappeared a few months ago. So the local law enforcement probably took any possible evidence they might have found. Definitely an odd case... I'll have to talk to the mother once she gets off work." He spoke into his phone's audio recorder for later.
With all he can do being done for now he left the house, being sure to make sure he didn't mess anything up as he locked the door behind him. Once the door was locked he put the key back under the welcome mat and walked over to his car where he put his phone in his pocket and opened his car door. Taking a seat in the passenger side he reached under the car seat and took out a notepad and pen which he began to write a bit of a log of his current findings, as well as a bit of handwritten reminders... All the while wondering how long it will take for Ms. Dugard to get off work... which will be another hour or two. Hopefully none of the neighbors call the cops on him for being some kind of stalker or something.

As he went far enough to leave earshot, a ghastly figure appeared and seemed fairly distraught. This had been the "millionth" time that some degenerate investigator had walked into this house while her friend's mom had not been here and she was sick of it, so as he had left, she started to put her plan into motion and wait until the man had went into his car before she unlocked the door and slowly opened the door before going into the kitchen and throwing a single plate that was quite far back from the counter space towards the ground. all while having a sour look on her face in annoyance of trespassers.
Woodland, Washington
As little Sabrina had left public eye towards a better location to hide from the spider lady, mocha had finally had enough of her nonsense.
"Sabrina... I bet you anyone in the world could be smarter than you, hell, that woman we saw this morning had the right idea of not talking to random strangers that scream 'I'm an axe murderer'... god, are all you humans this blind to supernatural beings when they are disguised?!" and many other things is all she blurted out in a very annoyed fashion as poor little Sabrina had to listen to her cat go and yell at her and take the abuse. She kinda knew that when mocha gets like this, there is no way to stop her from ranting on her.

((this is assuming the plate broke))
Medford, Oregon - 2:15PM
With his car having been parked in the driveway, Jacob was still writing a few notes in his notepad before he could hear very faintly from the house which wasn't too far away, as he had parked in the driveway. He couldn't tell what exactly the noise was, but it sounded like something breaking. Hearing this he slowly put his notepad down and turned to the house. Getting up out of his car he slowly walked up to the front door and touched the doorknob... Upon which when he turned it he got a rather... confused.
"Unlocked... strange" He said as he took out his handgun from his belt's holster. Even though he believes in the supernatural, the more logical options still usually comes to mind. Which means he thought that a thief must have managed to sneak in when he was busy in his car or something. Either way he slightly pushed open the now oddly unlocked front door with his 9mm handgun in hand in case there is an actual intruder...

"Yes, actually." came a familiar voice. It was the woman from the morning, sitting on yet another bench that seemed to have not been there previously. Wearing the same clothes, and even the scent of dew was in the air.
"It wasn't always like that, but humankind has grown far less sensitive to that sort of thing in recent years. Not to mention the lack of common sense thing that's getting especially common lately. It's almost concerning. Almost." they continued. They breathed in deeply, leaning back further into the bench.
