## Episode Description

Our heroes' investigation takes them to the local hospital.

## Key Events

* Stanley says the only person that could have stolen the list would be someone with access to their hotel suite or the Fort.
* Henry, frustrated with getting knocked out of fights, asks Sammie to imbue his claws with magic to make them stronger. She does so and his claws, when manifested, look like smoky-black dragon claws.
* Sammie finds Stanley's list in a trash bin at the hospital. With the help of Francesca Waters, one of Stanley's contacts, they narrow down their suspect pool based on what floor the trash came from.
* The crew decides Morgan Jenkins is most likely the one controlling the wraith. He's been in a coma for a while and was sent home on hospice this morning. Sammie finds an article that mentions Morgan's daughter died 10 years ago and Stanley confirms it was a creature he was unable to stop.

## Summary

Sammie asks Stanley if the wraith is going in the same order as his list of contacts and Stanley says the first two names on the list were the first two people to be attacked. Sammie asks who else could have the list and Stanley says his physical copy is missing, he's not sure when it disappeared but the last time he checked it was in his room at the hotel. Sammie asks Stanley if he knows of anyone that would want to come after him and Stanley says there's a lot of people that could have a grudge against him.

Bjorn and Henry arrive at the apartment complex. Stanley is sitting in an armchair in the living room now, looking sad. Sammie fills them in on what's going on. Henry says that if the wraith is going in order of the list they may be able to get ahead of it. Henry walks over to Stanley to try and ask him for the list. Stanley texts it to Henry and tells him not to send it to anyone else.

Bjorn and Sammie discuss who the person could be that's targeting Stanley and how they got the list. They discuss whether the person will know they're onto them and how to find out who they are. They agree that they should focus on both finding the next target and figuring out who the person is. Sammie suggests she can use her finding spell to try and figure out where the list is. Sammie has done some work to her spell since the las time she tried it. She says the Spanish word for find and moves her hand in the pattern of a question mark. Golden energy appears where she's traced the symbol that she latches onto to find the list. She sees the list in her mind, watching it fall through various floors of the hospital before landing in a trash can. Sammie passes this along and Stanley says that one of his contacts, Francesca Waters, works there. Stanley says he doesn't think she would have anything against him but she could help them at the hospital. He says no one on the list has ever been to the Fort or hotel and would have access to the physical copy of the list.

They try to figure out who could have stolen the list from the hotel, but none of the options make sense. Bjorn asks who the next person on the list is and Stanley says it's Justin Fairfield - he's a sailor that takes people out on pleasure cruises around the reefs and informs Stanley if he finds anything off. Stanley adds that he stopped mind wiping him because he was worried about damaging his brain. Bjorn asks Stanley if he can tell Justin to meet them at the docks and Stanley says he'll call all of the people on the list and let them know what's going on. Bjorn says that he'll call Holland and his people to handle the dead woman in the apartment.

Bjorn, Henry, and Sammie leave the apartment to head to the hospital. Before they leave, they see Officer Crawford, the same police officer that had responded to Eddie's house earlier that day. Bjorn motions him over to talk in a more private area and tells him he's about to call Holland and let her know more about the situation and to try and have the police officers avoid the room Stanley is in to avoid any other trouble for him. Crawford agrees to try his best and walks off.

Sammie drops Eddie's car and keys off at his house before all getting in Sammie's Jeep to drive over to the hospital. On the way, Henry gripes about how he always gets knocked out of their fights. Sammie reassures him that it's fine, that it happens to all of them. Henry asks Sammie if she can make his claws more powerful so that he can hit harder in combat. Sammie isn't sure if it'll work but she agrees to try. Sammie takes hold of Henry's left hand and imbues it with magic. His hand transforms and deforms slightly so that his claws are longer and sharper and more like a dragon claw with scales popping up along his hand. The skin and scales around his hand turn smoky black. They both admire the work as Henry manifests and hides his claws several times.

They all arrive at the hospital and go up to the reception desk. They ask to speak with Francesca Waters and that Stanley Marlowe sent them. The receptionist says she'll let Francesca know and it's not long before a young, pretty Hispanic woman in her 30s around 5' tall walks over to them. They ask to talk to her somewhere more private and she takes them into an empty hospital room. Francesca asks what's going on and Bjorn tells her that Stanley's contacts are being attacked. Bjorn asks if Francesca has noticed anything odd recently as they have reason to believe the list is in the hospital somewhere. Francesca says she hasn't noticed anything. Sammie asks if she can take them down to the trash room and Francesca agrees.

Bjorn, Henry, Sammie, and Francesca enter the trash room. Sammie remembers that the paper was in an orange bin and is able to quickly find the list. Francesca says the bin came from the east wing of the second floor and that it has to have been thrown away recently or else it would have been incinerated. She takes them up to the correct department and talks to a janitor, asking him which rooms he'd emptied the trash from recently. The janitor, Jose, tells them he's been to 214, 219, and 224. Bjorn asks if they can speak with someone at the main desk on this floor to figure out who's staying in those specific rooms.

Francesca leads them over to the main desk where a woman is furiously typing at a computer. She asks how she can help them and Bjorn asks for the names. The nurse tells him Morgan Jenkins is in 214, Marlon Trewather in 219, and Mr. Johnson in 224. Henry texts Stanley to see if he recognizes any of the names on the patients. Sammie compares the names to the physical list but doesn't see any matches. Bjorn asks Francesca if she knows any of the patients but she says she doesn't work on this floor. The nurse at the desk tells them that Mr. Jenkins in Room 214 went home on hospice this morning so he's not in his room anymore, he's been in a coma for a long time.

Bjorn, Henry, and Sammie talk amongst themselves. They agree that Morgan Jenkins seems like the most likely person as he's been in a coma, however they agree they should at least check the other two rooms. Sammie stays with Francesca at the nurse's stations, Bjorn heads to Room 219, and Henry goes to Room 224. Bjorn checks the chart of the man in 219 and sees that he's there for a few weeks due to complications from a hip surgery. Henry walks into 224 and finds a man in his 40s sitting up on the bed on his phone. He asks Henry what he's doing in his room and Henry says he just needs to check on some things. The man, Mr. Johnson, starts to press his nurse call button. The grumpy nurse from the front desk and Francesca walk in and Mr. Johnson tells them that Henry is being suspicious. The nurse says that Henry is a student and not to worry. Henry picks up the chart and sees that the man is here for treatment for prostate cancer but his prognosis is good. After looking through and not finding anything worrisome, he and Francesca leave the room.

Out in the hallway, Sammie has been doing some digging on her phone about Morgan Jenkins. Sammie finds he seems to be a Thornvale local. His social media has been quiet for 2-3 months and his posts before that were about how his illness was getting worse. She finds a post he shared about a memorial for Sandra Jenkins - it's the 10 year anniversary of her death and it seems she died in a fatal car accident. This car accident is what caused Morgan's health issues as well. Sandra was Morgan's daughter and was only 17 when she died. Sammie copies the link to the article and sends it to Stanley, asking if it sounds familiar. Stanley calls Sammie and tells her that he remembers Morgan and Sandra, that some kind of creature had been fixated on him, and he couldn't stop it until it was too late. Sammie tells Stanley that he's been in a coma and got sent home today so he fits their idea of who could be controlling the wraith. Stanley says he knows where Morgan lives and he'll meet them there.
