The Disappearances
Camille looks at the painting filled with red string that links the photos together. The O'Connell woman is investigating the disturbing disappearance of numerous children.
She sighs for the third time in a row in less than five minutes.
Crack.
Camille turns around quickly to see a Josie Parker lying on her bed eating crisps. (She puts crumbs all over the place)
"JOSIE!" Camillle is indignant looking at her roommate "So we never talked about respect for private life !?"
"We've never done." Confirms the witch smiling happily "You have a lot of children. Why don't you live with them." Josie asks, showing the photos of the children who have been mysteriously missing.
"These are not my children, I do not have 11 children Josie. These are children who have been missing." explains the student in psychology.
"So what? Are you investigating?" Josie asks a little surprised "Shouldn't you let the cops do the job."
"They are not aware that the supernatural exists." Explains the blonde without taking her eyes off the red strings.
"Seriously !? How can you not realize that half of New Orleans' population is not even human." Josie says incredulously, rolling her eyes and taking another bite of crisps.
"Josie. I need to find a connection between all these kids, I can't seem to focus with you eating crisps… AND FOR THE LOVE OF GODS STOP PUTTING CRUMPS EVERYWHERE!" The psychology student got angry.
"Alright, calm down Veronica Mars." Josie said, throwing the finished packet of crisps in the trash. "That way you can think about Sherlock."
Eyes widened, she had an idea "Wait if you're Sherlock Holmes, that means technically I'm Watson!" Exclaims the youngest with joy, she approaches the table and takes some sheets that Camille had scattered all over the ground.
"I guess two brains are better than one." Mumbles the O'Connell.

Josie smiles. The kind of creepy smile she gives when she's got a manic idea in her head. (Or when she thinks of several murders)
Camille doesn't really like that smile.
"What?" Ask the older one "What makes you smile like that."
'I have a theory Sherlock,' announces the brunette.
"And it is?" The student asked with intention, she is still very surprised to see the youngest also involved.
"They are all child wizards, they belong to different Coven." Josie explains, pointing to the photo of several children.
The blonde's eyes widened. "You are saying that ..." she starts but doesn't finish, Josie does.
"We kidnap a child from each Coven. In my opinion, it's either for a sacrifice or for a very powerful spell." Josie continues, smiling proud of herself.
Camille grimaces at the possibilities that Josie gives. "It's horrible."
"Not that much. But now I advise you not to get involved in this story." advice the youngest by digging through the photos.
"No I will not." exclaims the determined student, the brunette rolls her eyes but gives Camille a photo of a child. "Why are you giving me this picture?"
"Some time ago, my future girlfriend was kidnapped, she was accused of kidnapping children." starts to explain Josie, smiling falsely.
"Hope" Camille whispers of realization. How did she not understand this before?
"Only one Coven can do this. The Gemini Coven. But why would my own congregation get involved?" Josie then points to the photo Camille is holding. "The answer to my question is this boy."
"Donald Jordan Parker is part of the Gemini Coven. Wait! Parker, that's your last name, right?"
“Right, he's my sister's son,” Josie explains.
The realization struck Camille "That's why you help me with my research!"
A smirk appeared on Parker's face, if only she knew what the Siphon had planned. "In a way ..."
Josie is not stupid, she knows that it was Lizzie who sent Hope to the prison world.
La Parker thinks of paying her sister a little visit. After all, you have to make up for all that wasted time, right ?
