Laura couldn't understand why her teammates were reluctant to enter the alley. She squinted into the darkness, but couldn't see anything wrong. She recalled an event Shani told her about where she was attacked by a "ghost" in an alley. Of course, she didn't beleive it, but the robin still looked pretty shaken up by the whole scene.
