It’s been a long, crazy road, but if the paranormal investigative antics have been anything, they’ve been a good way to get out walking with the dog. Mystery’s been Vinny’s pet for a while now, and has kept morale up among thr group ever since he first tagged along. He’s even helped solve a few cases with his impeccable smell. However, after that run-in with the haunted house and what may be the group’s actual first encounter with the supernatural, Vinny’s been in a bit of a slump, and it shows. Despite having been petting Mystery for a few hours, he’s felt sad for reasons he doesn’t know why. When that ghost offered him what he assumed to be its heart, and Vinny watched it drop to the floor and break, it brought out something that he first thought was pity, but as the night went on, it felt more melancholy. The thing is, he doesn’t know why, and it’s driving him crazy... Maybe he just needs to stop focusing on this.
His vision turns to his dog, and a slight smile returns to his face. Leaning in, he gives Mystery’s fur a ruffle on his shoulders. As they ride on down the road, an idea comes into his head. He pulls out the portable DVD player that they keep around for long rides.
