Welcome back!! I had lots of fun working with their past and I have some BIG plans for future parts! Stay tuned 😙

Summary: A detective is on a case, alone once again. Well, not really. Their work partner who revealed themself as a Ghost appears to help as much as he can, only to realize that there is a not so happy spirit watching the detective do their work. The Ghost works to comfort the Detective and keep the entity at bay so the Detective can finish their work.

SCRIPT:

Another one, Detective? Atleast this ones inside this time.

Still struggling, huh? I thought I told you to take a break and get it together.

Youre right, I cant make you. Can only warn you and then say "I told you so" after, like I have every other time I warned you about something.

So.. any idea what happened to her? No wounds.

You're right, you'll have to wait for an autopsy. What was she doing the night before? Any history of drugs use?

No? And she was home all night... huh. Then it must have been medical. Atleast we can rule that out.. unless it was family.

You're on top of this, though. Last time you just took observations and cried. You're definitely doing better that I thought.

And a whole lot better than last time. And hey! You didn't scream when I showed up this time.

Or maybe I should be concerned that you didn't. I dont think that's normal.

Speaking of, do you know how fun it is to haunt people?

Obviously not. My point is that it's a lot more fun than you imagine. Spent the entire day scaring people and making people argue and had no consequences!

So what if it's "not nice?" They'll get over it. Youre always so sensitive and empathetic, never understood how you manage this job.

Yes you are! You were just-

(Sound effect: Glass shattering)

What the hell?!

(Pause, then an irritated groan.)

shit... give me a minute. Ill be right back. Finish your notes

(Sound effect: Writing on clipboard, footsteps periodically)

(Moments later)

Detective, you might wanna hurry this up. Don't panic or anything, but the spirit of that girl is the very opposite of happy.

Im not really sure how she even threw that vase, I haven't even figured that out yet and I've been dead longer.

(Attempting to be comforting)

Hey, I said don't panic. Finish up what you've gotta do. I know you arent used to all this paranormal stuff but it's gonna be fine. I talked to her - kinda, she wont hurt you. She wants you to leave as soon as your done.

Yeah, I can talk to you while you finish up. Its alright.

Uh.. remember the first case we were on together? You annoyed me so much but somehow you were the only person on that team I could stand. Mostly because you were the only person who had any idea what you were doing. And had an actual personality.

Yes, you annoyed me! Once I got to know you, obviously you didn't annoy me.. that much. You were just so cheerful *constantly.* I think that I was just jealous of you, maybe. The way you were able to stay so happy. Not that I was majorly depressed or something, it was just hard and you made it look so easy.

(Sound effect: Loud bang on wall, furniture tipping over and falling.)

It's fine, it's fine. She's being impatient. I still have no idea how she's doing it, but nothings going to happen to you. Just try to hurry up a little bit.

Remember the nickname I gave you? Birdie. God, that was years ago... and so cringe. I dont remember why I stopped calling you that, though. It was kinda fitting.

Maybe Ill start calling you that again.

Or remember that one time like a year ago when when we questioned a victims brother and he tried flirting with BOTH of us? Most uncomfortable questioning we've ever done but it was so funny to talk about after.

Finally, I got a laugh out of you. I used to hear that nonstop on a daily. It's been too long. You being so happy all the damn time was one of the only things that kept me stable doing a job where I saw stuff like this constantly.

Man, Ive just been feeding your ego today. Don't let that get to your head. It was still annoying.

I have not been that much nicer to you. Maybe a LITTLE bit but that's only because I feel bad.

Why do you think I feel bad? You've been so down lately and when you arent working you just sit at home and sulk and it's my fault. Not to mention that you're literally shaking in your boots right now so it would be kind of a dick move to try and make fun of you.

(Sarcastic)

Oh GOD the big bad ghost has emotions! Shocking!! Who would have ever thought?!

(Sound effect: Louder banging, Glass shattering.)

(Grumbly, irritated voice.)

Right when I got you to calm down...

(Speaking up, more calm.)

Almost done, Detective?

Fantastic. Get out of here. Go!

(Sound effect: fast, loud footsteps. Door slams and sound effects stop.)

You should be fine outside.

(Deep breath)

Usually when I see newly-dead they're crying and scared. I haven't really met one that angry yet. I guess I've only been like this for a few months, but still..

You okay? That was quite the experience..

Good. You should get back to the agency and leave the paranormal stuff out of everything.

(Stressed, panicked voice)

No, I am not going back in there to ask her why she was upset. Are you insane?! I know Im already dead but what if she like- I don't know- hurts my feelings?! Or sends me to some kind of death after death.

She's already dead, Birdie. I can come back when she calms down if you really want me to talk to her, but now is not the time.

The nickname- it just slipped, you're stressing me out! You have a pretty awesome talent for doing that.

(Beginning to return to a calmer voice)

Im surprised they even send you on cases alone. Youre always such a mess. If you really were any kind of "Birdie" you'd be a pigeon.

Thats only mean if you dont like pigeons.

Either way, isn't is hard working alone after years of working with a partner? It can't be easy.

Well if it's so hard then get a new partner. Try working with other people. Its not a bad thing.

Yes you can, Detective. Being so Loyal will only get you so far in this line of work. You won't hurt my feelings, it would be better for you.

Fine, we don't have to talk about it anymore.

Get back to the agency and remember what I said.

Ill see you when I see you, Birdie.

-End-

Thank you for reading to the end! like I said before, I already have some stuff planned but feel free to make suggestions if you feel the need!

also Im not really sure how to link other parts to this post for people to find so if someone could tell me how that would be pretty cool🥲.

For now you can find part 1 on my account, this series is my only posts so far!

Summary: A detective is sent out to investigate a crime scene after losing their work partner. This is their first time working alone in years, so they find themself struggling more than they usually do. As they take a moment to try and collect themself, they hear a voice they recognize a little too well...

SCRIPT:

(Sound: Water dripping, writing on paper/clipboard, steps periodically on concrete)

(Quiet speaking)

Come on, Detective. It's not that bad of a job, you can do it without me... God, what am I saying? Everything's hard for you.

(Sigh)

Can't just be nice to you now that Im dead.

Sorry, harsh words, "passed away."

(Sound effect: Slamming the clipboard down, and quick steps away)

Where are you even going? There's nothing down that part of the alley- oh. You're crying. Dammit, it's not that hard without me. Crying on the job..

(Louder, normal speaking voice.)

Hey, Detective. Been a while.

Hey- don't freak out! Oh my god, I said don't freak out!

No- no- you arent crazy. Stop. I said stop!

Jesus Detective, BREATHE! Come on, breathe. Its fine. You aren't crazy. Settle down.

There you go.. can you see me?

Really? Sweet. I didnt think you would be able too. Nobody else has been able too.

Connection? We just worked together, Detective. We didn't have any kind of special connection. It's probably just so I can help you out or something.

Even in death, I have to do your job for you.

Okay, okay, Im sorry. I know its been hard for you. And I know you missed me. It's good to talk to you again.

Uh- you can't hug me, Detective. My physical body is 6 feet under.

Okay, yeah, touchy topic, whatever, Im the one that died!

Look.. I have an idea. It sucks that Im dead, yeah, but now I can communicate with other ghosts. As long as I don't mysteriously lose my ability to contact you, I can tell you what the spirit of these victims say happened. Boom. Done. Easy as pie.

Yeah, but I need you to stop crying before I can actually leave to help you. Believe it or not, I do actually have a conscience and would feel pretty bad if I left you like this

There, deep breaths. Im going to head out now and figure out how to find that victims spirit. Poor girl, looks like she went through hell. Definitely had a struggle. Ill be back in about an hour or so to let you know if I found her or not.

(Pause or transition sound of your choice)

Hey Im back, I-

Yes I was - AM - real. Are you serious right now? We literally had an entire conversation.

I mean.. yeah, fair enough. I did kinda die and then re-appear out of thin air. If anyone else said they saw that, you'd hear them say it from a mental institute.

Anyways, I found her. Poor girls spirit was a mess. Rightfully so.

(Sigh)

She was chased down this alley by her ex, he tackled her and - well - you can see what happened. His name was Jonathan Williams, 22 years old and 6'2. Request to talk to her parents about past romantic and platonic relationships so it doesn't seem like you pulled this out of thin air, even though you kinda did.

They won't ask how you know she was chased or tackled. Its obvious. Look at her position and the marks on her, look in her nails. That's the easiest part to figure out for us, you know that.

You're panicking, Detective. Get it together. You aren't crazy. Just.. don't tell anyone about this, yeah? I dont need you getting locked up.

No, I dont care that much. Well, a little bit, I guess. it would be kinda boring now that I finally found something to take up my un-ending amount of time. If you got locked up, I would need to find another hobby.. outside of doing my job in the afterlife... God that sounds depressing.

what have you been up too anyways? I haven't really checked up on you. No offense, I do have family.

That's it? no hobbies? therapy? Don't tell me you quit therapy again, this job will drain you.

I am not trying to insult you, Im just being honest! It's a hard job!

Yeah, maybe I should have too, but it's a bit late for that. I just don't want you going down a rabbit hole of not-so-happy things.

I wont be there to help you through the ugly side of this job anymore. Reaching out to someone isnt always the worst idea ever.

Well you have me in this moment but the thing is, I dont know exactly how long it will last.

I dont know if Ill be able to keep helping you like this. Ill help you when I can but this is all kind of unpredictable. I didnt know that I could do this in the first place. I've tried with other people and you're the first person it worked with and I dont even know why. It could go away any second.

Im just saying that you need to prepare yourself to do this alone or take more time off. You weren't ready to do this today.

Just because you say you are, doesn't mean you actually are.

Have you ever heard of the saying "actions speak louder than words?"

God, you're so stubborn. You'll panic and get the wrong person locked up if you keep working like this. Or lose your job, then what? We both know how hard you worked to get here so don't throw it away.

I know I kind of insult your work and the way you do things a lot but you *are* good at your job. I wouldn't have worked with you if I didn't think you were good enough.

I just like to bicker with you. It made our work fun, and slightly less traumatizing.

Stop it, you are more than capable of working without me.

If you dont think so, find another partner. I won't sit and argue with you about it. You know what I think.

And just so you know, you did good today. I can tell that you arent doing as well as you usually do, but you did good considering everything going on.

No, Im not just being nice. When do I do things just to be nice? Im being honest. You did good. You're doing better than most people would in your position.

Don't get sappy. Go turn in what you have and maybe Ill catch up with you later, if I feel like it. Who knows, maybe Ill just wander around aimlessly.

Ooh, I wonder if I can whisper to people. Maybe mock someone else's voice and flat out insult them, watch the drama unfold.

Well, Ill see you when I see you, Detective.

-End-

Thank you for reasing to the end!!

This is my first time writing one of these scripts, I usually write radio scripts and poetry but this was SO fun! I look forward to continuing this series (if people like it anyways😭).

Feel free to give suggestions to what you want to see in future parts! No ideas are bad ones 😋

I hope you enjoyed!
