The Next Day

    by: Unknown
The birds songs are is everywhere around the forest; waking me up to a nice start of a new day. So much has happened in the past day, as I roll around in the tent slowly waking my self up. The sun rays are peeking through my tent and I sigh thinking maybe today can be better than yesterday which is highly unlikely. Suddenly I hear the chirps of the birds stop with birds fluttering away into the distance as I groggily get up from my sleeping bag wondering whats causing the disturbance.

"Come out with your hands on your head!" A man shouts from outside the tent. Suddenly my heart stops as I'm unsure what to do next. I slowly get up from out of the tent to see multiple cops surrounding the tent with guns pointed at me. " I didn't do....." but then I realize I'm in Joe's body and I know what he did to put me in this situation. "Yeah thats the guys who killed my friend" I hear Shannon say behind one of the cops and I take a step forward saying "Shannon what are you--" but I suddenly see the blunt of a gun slam into my face. I fall to the ground in agony as the darkness once again begins to envelop around my senses.

----------------------------------------------------------

"Its alright Shannon, you're safe now" Greg said while he and his fellow officers brought down their gun. "We'll bring you back to the police station for some questions and we'll bring you back home" Greg continued and Shannon mumbled "There is no home" which caught Greg's attention but he didn't respond. Greg watched as Mike and Dirk handcuffed the murderer named Joe who pushed Shannon s friend over the cliff and all he felt was sadness for how Shannon must be feeling right now. Greg turned to Shannon and said "Shannon we brought your friends stuff back up but all we found was his clothing and hiking bag..." Greg held back the fact they also found a pool of blood around the clothing as well but Mark's body disappeared without a trace after that. "Here you can hold his bag while we get back to the station... I know how it must feel right now Shannon but Mark's killer has been caught and there will be justice" Greg said putting a hand onto Shannon's shoulder.

While driving back, Greg chatted with Shannon for a little hoping to brighten her mood but he left her alone after she didn't seem to want to talk. Upon reaching the police station Greg watched as they dragged Mark who was still unconscious into the police station to be detained and interrogated. From what Greg heard, Joe has a police wrap for other offenses such as sexual harassment but this is the worst of them all. "Cmon Shannon we just need to ask you a few questions" Greg said to Shannon in the back seat and she nodded as they both got out of the car into the police station. Greg brought Shannon to one of the questioning rooms of the station and he said "Here have a seat, would you like a cup of coffee or water?" trying to be friendly as possible. "No thank you" Shannon replied softly.

Greg sat down across from Shannon as he took out a notepad and began asking Shannon some questions about the horrid murder.

--------------------------------------------------

The first thing I felt when coming around was the throbbing feeling in my head. It feels almost as if my head was ran over a car as I let out a moan. "He's coming around" an unkown man says on the other side of the room. I open my eyes to find my self in a bare room with nothing except for the table in the certain of the room with a police officer from sitting across me. I tried to move but I found my arms tightly bound by the metal handcuffs securing my arms from moving around. I look across to see the police office go through a pamphlet of papers as he says "Joe you have quite the criminal record". I look at him without saying anything and he continues "Did you murder Mark Lore".

I sat there unsure what to do and all I thought about was how am I gonna get to Shannon and get out of this situation. I don't wanna be stuck as Joe forever in Jail paying for his crimes. I begin breathing quickly as my heart races as I look around the room trying to find a way out. I need to get out and find Shannon! "Wheres Shannon" I said quickly, and I hear Joe's voice leaving my mouth. "You won't be ever seeing her again" the police officer said. There was a knock on the door and the police office got up and left the room as I look around finding my self alone. I have to get out! I begin to wiggle in my seat not sure what to do. Desperation begins to settle in as I begin to cry. I have to find Shannon! Suddenly I find self slowly losing control of Joe's body as my control over his body becomes limp. The cold sensation begins to slowly creep around me as I slowly float out of his body and I look down to find my self floating over Joe's body. "Where am I" Joe said struggling as he began to yell in anger. The police man came back in and resumed the interrogation and I watch as I see the fear in Joe's eye slowly creep in.

"You deserve it you bastard" I say without getting a response from anyone in the room.I'm filled with joy being relieved of Joe's body as I set out to find Shannon. I touch the wall of the room tentatively to find that I can slip my way through it as if is air and I take a slide in finding my self in a bustling office of officers walking about talking to their co-workers and answering phone calls. "I must have woken up in the police station" I mutter as I float about the office. Suddenly an officer walks through me from behind and for a split second I felt the warm sensation of having a body to only having it disappear again. The officer stumbles slightly and looks around and shakes his head muttering "Must be working to hard" as he turns around the corner.

"Yeah they got them" I hear a police officer say. I turn around to see two police officers talking in their cubicles as I float over to them eavesdropping into their conversation. "They brought in a girl named Shannon and the guy who supposedly killed Mark" the woman named Julie said. She continued "I think they are in two two rooms" she pointed across the room. I instantly left and floated to the other room I knew I didn't come out from as I look around cautiously thinking someone is about to stop me from entering. I look into the room and float in to find a police officer and Shannon sitting by a table as the police officer wrote notes down while asking Shannon questions. "Shannon" I whisper as I float up to the table. She looks really worn out and tired and her eyes are reddened from tears. "I think that's good enough for now Shannon" the police officer says to her. I look at his name tag to see the name Greg Thomson - Police Investigator branded onto his metal name tag. "I'll bring you back home now to your parents now" Greg said to Shannon and Shannon shook her head. "I live by my self" said replied and Greg looked saddened and said "Oh.. ok... wait one second as I just search up your basic information to get you back home safely then" as he got up to get out of the room.

As he left the room, I looked at Shannon feeling sorry for her. She has had a rough life. Her mother died when she was very young and ever since her father has never payed her much attention as he went about his business trips across the world. Her father is a very rich business CEO and he gave her plenty of money to just get her off his shoulders. Ever since she has been living alone while her father just gives her more things that money can buy but never something that money can't buy such as love and being a family. I look down feeling sadden, thinking about my own family and how crumbled it became too. Both of my parents are alcohol addicts so Shannon and I always goes out on our own to get away from our family affairs.

Greg came back walking in looking a bit surprised looking down upon the papers. "So you live in the condos on 11 Elm Street Room # 256?" he said sitting down. Shannon shook her head for yes and he continued ", I know that things are rough for you now and your family situation doesn't make it any better" he said while double checking the paper but if you ever need support just give us a ring and we'll be there for you". Greg seems like a really nice guy trying to console Shannon. A 40 year old police officer, he has a complete bald head while I notice he has quite the beer belly setting in. "Sorry Greg, but I have a friend to protect".

-------------------------------------------------------
"Well we'll be bring you back home" Greg said to Shannon giving her a smile as he got out of his seat to lead her out of the room. All of a sudden Greg lost sensation of his torso and his vision became blurred. "Ugh" Greg moaned as he gripped onto the table for support and he began to panic what was happening. Am I having a heart attack? As he slowly lost the sensation of his whole entire body. It almost felt as if something was slipping inside out of his that he couldn't see until everything blanked out.
-----------------------------------------------------

I slowly entered Greg's body unlike with Joe and how I pushed my way into his body. I felt the warm sensation slowly fill up the coldness of being a ghost with each second that passed by. Greg began to twitch as I entered his body and I began to feel his limbs become my own. I grunted or actually Greg grunted as he fought to stay in control. He lost grip on the table and I fell down with him as we came crashing onto the floor and I hear Shannon saying "Oh my gosh are you ok?".

I look up at Shannon and smile now under full control of Greg's body. "Never better ShanShan" I sigh smiling at her as I see her realize who is really behind Greg's eyes
