Frank, Jr. is stone cold quiet other than single syllable answers to confirm the statements when Officer Hightail asks. He then looks at the video Etta offers him and he looks like something breaks through just a little then he looks sternly at them. He walks around behind his father's desk and among the few pictures on the corner, holding up one that looks startlingly similar. I dont know what kind of special effects trick your playing... but I don't appreciate it.
Hightail raises an eyebrow too...

Frank, Jr. holds up a hand and walks over to the monitor and picks up the remote, bringing up the office and going back. He shakes his head and plays the footage that confirms the story. Officer. I'm not pressing charges... but... I want a moment alone.

Officer Hightail Yes, sir. he directs everyone out to the front office. Look, if I knew what to make of this, I'd tell you. For now I just advise you to not leave town or anything. We don't have any direct president for anything... like this, but we're working on it. I will need a copy of that video for forensics... the phone itself for now. I see now reason to put anyone under arrest... depending on what the coroner's report comes up with in the morning. Pending all that, you're free to go.

Roy "Honest no special effects on our part. But yes I can understand." the tall man walks out of the room giving Frank Jr. his time to reflect and resolve.

Mac

Mac will answer any questions truthfully and do his best to fill in everyone on what happened.

And that was seemingly it for now. As the team made their way outside, there were a lot of police vehicles outside, and the ambulance was just pulling out as was the Coroner's car. The warehouse parking lot was awash in flashing LED lights of mostly blue as well as the spotlights from the squad vehicles themselves that shined on the entrances.

There were also a couple of news vans on site now with film crews. A quick glance around though, and...

GM rolls dice... And laughs! There is no Bur or Channel 3 News crew in sight! A young reporter that looks like she threw herself together to get her runs up, her hair in a sloppy bun with a simple green top and a black blazer thrown over jeans comes up from the Channel 4 truck. Hello!
Hi! Jamie Roth, Channel 4 News! Can you comment at all about what happened here tonight? Her eyes are excited and somehow urgent.

Who does she come up to first? She has a dazzling smile, Lionel... Everyone can roll a moderate Cool 10+ for success for your various sound bites, should you choose to comment at all.

Dzjokar "Joker" Jelal 37/37 corrected. Thanks Scott! At some point I owe you a lunch for all the math boo-boo you catch!

As always please check my math!

Etta, seeing an approaching reporter, advises her colleagues, "No specifics. There are going to be lawyers involved one way or the other. Keep it as bland has humanely possible. Blander than that, even."

Cool: [3d6] = 10 Ghost: [1d6] = 6

As soon as she is away from the reporter, she calls GBI headquarters. "Warm up the legal team. We're looking at possible criminal investigation or civil law suit."

Lionel "Freight Train" Williams

Hi, Jamie. Well, I can't say much at this time. Without going into specifics, I can say that we were contracted, as the local franchise of Ghostbusters International, to deal with a harmful spirit that appears to have been responsible for a number of accidents here at the John Henry Tooling Warehouse in the past. We arrived, assessed the situation, and successfully captured a malevolent spirit. That is, unfortunately, all I am at liberty to say at the moment. After the camera is off, he will flash her what he hopes is a winning smile. Do you have a card? I'd love to get your number. Maybe you can be our go-to newsperson here in town? You probably saw Bur's assassination piece on us. I guarantee he never gets another exclusive from us. Maybe I can call you if we have anything that you can report on? Or...for other things, maybe? I can give you my number, too, if you'd like. Reaching for his phone, he realizes he doesn't have it. Yo, Mac! Can I get my phone back?

Joker
Joker is still pretty rattled- this was his first actual ghost, after all- so he doesn't have very good command of English at the moment. If he's asked anything, he'll just call Roy over to help.
By choice, he'll start scanning through the data he collected and help the others load their gear in Ecto-1

Mac

Mac will just ignore the press and help Joker load up so we can roll out.

Roy smiles at the reporter and merely says "I'll defer to them." he indicates Etta and the others.

Cool: [3d6] = 13 G:[1d6] = 5
