During the 24 hours we have gotten ever closer to catching the Ghost that has been plaguing dA for the past few days. We came so close to nabbing the spectre, but alas our excitement is sadly short lived. Events have taken a dramatic new turn.

We have reason to believe that there is no ghost. Well, not a vision from the realms of the dead anyway. But someone posing as a ghost. By the clues that the community have helped us put together we actually now believe that this person or persons have been manipulating the system in some way.

During the early hours of this morning, we received a note. It is a message of the gravest of importance and it is with a heavy heart that I share this news with you.The note contained the following:

"Try and catch me will you? Well you failed. Even if you did have help! Look around you. Something missing? Or should I say 'someone' missing?"

It was signed 'Frank'.

It wasn’t until a little while later that someone noticed Fella hadn’t turned up for his usual mid-morning jam sandwich in the staff room at DevART Towers that we started to panic. No one had seen him since the previous evening.

So we rang his apartment to see if he was ok and it went straight to his voicemail. Here is a transcript of the call:

"I’m sorry, Fella can’t come to the phone right now, he’s a little "tied up" (sound of evil laughter). Yes, that’s right, I have your precious Fella right here. Try and spoil my fun? I think not. Let’s see just how clever you are shall we? I’ve set you a little task. It should be oh such a giggle for you clever little super sleuths. But you had better make sure you solve this mystery as like any good story it has a beginning, a middle and an END. Fail to solve my little puzzle and BOOOOM! Bye bye Fella. You have until midnight on the 31st…."

We immediately rushed over to his luxury condo and the place was a mess. It looked like quite a struggle had ensued. We did manage to find one other clue however. The last post on his staff blog was entered late last night and was simply "Frank returns! From the Bowels of dA". We are not entirely sure what the relevance of this is yet, but we are sure that it has something to do with the Kidnapping.

I don’t need to stress just how worried for Fellas safety we are here right now. There is only one course of action we can take and that is to rise to the challenge and find Fella and stop the bomb!!

There will be a crisis meeting in #ghosthunt later to discuss the way forward.
