Later that same night at THE CLUBHOUSE . . .

Catty (VO) Another dead body has increased in the deaths in this eerie small town. It is as so nothing good is left but darkness.

The DJ man's dead body has been covered with a cloth sheet, which has been blood-stained.

Me and the Beckett Crew sits around at the tables, horrified at what happened.

My Mom, Special Agent Fern Beckett and Special Agent AJ Johnson has examined the dead body, wearing a pair of blue plastic gloves.

"I found this . . ." Special Agent AJ Johnson said, showing my Mom an evidence bag with a hex bag inside of it. " . . . inside the dead DJ's jacket pocket.

Fern Beckett looks at the hex bag. "A hex bag killed the DJ?"

"I know it sounds crazy, Fern, but this hex bag isn't fake, it's very real." Alessandra told Fern.

"Alright." Fern Beckett said and looks around at the young adults. "Alright, you guys, I know you all are frantically shocked right now, but I need you all to remain calm."

And Fen responded. "Calm? Are you fucking serious right now? Someone is dead and you're saying that we should all just stay calm?"

And I intervene, defending my Mom with my arms folded. "Shut up, Fen."

Fen looks at me.

"Shut up, and the Special Agents do their job." I tell Fen with a serious expression on my face.

"Thank you, Catty." My Mom said, appreciating my defense for her. "The party is over. Get home safely."

Sebastian, Grayson, Leigh Ann, Sasha and I exchange worried looks at each other.

BECKETT HOUSE

Grayson drove me and him to my house. We both slowly walks inside the living room and he gently closes the door.

"You should go home, Gray." I said to him.

"I'm not leaving you alone, Catty." Grayson said.

"I saw her. I saw Vanessa at the Halloween party." I tell Grayson.

"Why was she even there?" Grayson asked.

"She called me on my phone. I tried to catch up to her, but she was already gone and she vanished into a purple smoke." I tell him.

"So, she must've been the one who killed the DJ with a hex bag." Grayson said. "First, Vanessa made Alyssa cough up blood, she tried to kill AJ by poisoning her, and now, she killed the DJ at the Halloween party with a hex bag. This is all so fucked up."

"Vanessa has a storefront in town." I tell him. "She's using hex bags to either hurt people or murder people."

"Damnit." Grayson said. "We can't take a breath of fresh air without something happening, can we?"

"No, we can't." I said to him. "Vanessa is a serious mage witch with dark magic."

"At least, your Mom and Alessandra has a case against Vanessa." Grayson said.

"Who knows how many hex bags Vanessa has in her procession." I said.

Grayson and I exchange looks at each other.

"First, it was Jade Ester, and then, there was Remy Levesque and his Mafia henchmen and Marguerite Levesque. And now, Vanessa Russo. There's always a villain or villainess lurking around." I said.

Grayson walks up to me and hugs me. I hug him back.

🔵🔵

The next morning . . .

Grayson and I fell asleep on the three seat sofa in the living room, still dressed up in our costumes. He gently spoons me from behind with his shoes and my red Mary Jane on the floor.

My phone buzzes on the coffee table. I stir awake and sits up straight on the sofa.

I pick up my buzzing phone and looks at it.

Alessandra Johnson

I answer my phone. "Hey, Alessandra."

"Hey, Blondie. I need your help with something. Could you come by the special agent field office whenever you can?" Alessandra asked.

"Okay, sure, I'm on my way now." I said and hangs up my phone.

"Agent AJ needs your help with her case." Grayson said.

"Yeah, I'll see you around." I said to him.

"Alright." Grayson said.

And I gets up walking away.

SPECIAL AGENT FIELD OFFICE

Later that day, I'm with Alessandra sitting at her desk. She has a profile of Vanessa Russo.

"I've been doing my own research on Vanessa Russo. Turns out, she's no ordinary woman. She's 900 years old." Alessandra told me.

I look shocked. "Who the hell is this bitch?"

Shortly after . . .

I'm looking at Vanessa Russo's profile. She is from the Victorian era. She hid her mage witch secret until the last minute and she started destroying the people who were mean to her with her signature hex bags.

"We don't need a case against Vanessa Russo. We can handle her another way." I suggested.

"How do we do that, Catty?" Alessandra asked.

"Don't know, but Vanessa has already left her dark tainted mark with her hex bags." I said.

"We will figure out a way to stop Vanessa Russo before her dark magic corrupts someone else.

- Third POV -

At VANESSA RUSSO'S VICTORIAN HOUSE, in the living room, Vanessa Russo stands in front of the fireplace, wearing a sheer black jumpsuit, which covers her half naked body.

Toney, her personal informant, slowly walks up next to her, and gently wraps an arm around her waist and pecks a kiss on her cheek, implying that they are in a romantic relationship.

"It is done." Toney tells her of his recent assignment she has given him. "The Mafia henchmen will do whatever you ask of them."

"You have done well, Toney." Vanessa Russo spoke in her British accent. "And now, Catty and her friends won't dare encounter me, knowing I have you and the Mafia henchmen to protect me."

Vanessa looks up at Toney and his eyes glow purple, revealing he's under her dark magic influence.

At THE BAXTER HOUSE . . .

Later that afternoon, after his work at the auto-shop, Grayson walks into his house and closes the door. He walks into the living room and sees a hex bag on the coffee table.

Knowing that the hex bag is from Vanessa Russo, Grayson takes the hex bag, but doesn't open it. Instead, he walks outside to the garage and burns it in a garbage bin.

But smoke engulfs him, Grayson falls on the floor, coughing. But then, he stops and his eyes glow purple, indicating that he's under a magic influence.

🔵🔵

After getting a text message from Grayson saying he needed some help with something, Torrey Koda arrived at the garage.

She walks into the dimly-lit garage and looks at Grayson, who's standing in the dark.

[Song: I Put A Spell On You - Ari Hicks]

"Grayson? Why are you just standing there in the dark?" Torrey Koda asked.

"I wanted to surprise you." Grayson said and slowly walks up to her.

Grayson and Torrey exchange looks at each other. He kisses her, to which, she kisses him back.

Unbeknownst to Torrey that Grayson is under a magic influence, she mischievously goes along with it.

Grayson and Torrey continues kissing each other l, undressing each other.

With a sofa bed pulled out, Grayson, now, shirtless tattooed half naked, and Torrey, half naked, continues to embrace their intimate tryst with a bedsheet that covers them both.

Grayson's phone buzzes on the stool chair. The person is Catty.

[Song ends]

ROCHELLE'S SHOPPE DINER

That evening, I'm sitting in a booth table, calling Grayson on my phone, but he doesn't answer and it goes to voicemail.

I sigh to myself and sips on my usual root beer float.

The diner door opens and closes. Toney walks up to the diner counter and orders himself takeout food.

"Toney?" I said to him.

Toney looks at me and nods at me. "Hello, Miss. Beckett." And he looks away.

I look a bit confused.

Catty (VO) Okay, weird.

🔵🔵

- Third POV -

At the BAXTER HOUSE, after Grayson's and Torrey's intimate tryst, Grayson wakes up and sits up straight with the bedsheet covers the lower half of his body and her torso and lower half of her body.

Grayson looks at a sleeping Torrey next to him on the sofa bed. And realizing what he had done, he is consumed with guilt.

"Oh my gosh." Grayson said to himself.

In the garbage bin, a burnt hex bag lays inside.
