A gust of wind blew the curtains and they billowed as if someone big was standing behind them trying to hide.

‘Tell her that the woman he murdered was with us,’ shouted Claire.

‘What the hell?’ screamed Libby.

‘Will you stop doing that,’ shouted Tony.

‘Tony, it’s freaking me out, what’s happening?’ she was visibly shaking and all colour had drained from her face. It was only Claire and Tony didn’t understand why his wife was so frightened until he tried to put himself in her shoes. Yup, he’d be crapping it too. He took her in his arms and held her until she’d calmed down.

‘It’s all right, sweetheart. Nobody’s going to hurt you. Umm, Claire’s discovered that she can do new things and she forgets that it frightens some of us.’

‘Claire, stop it now and calm down.’

It wasn’t a request and Claire momentarily forgot that she had the upper hand and automatically did what one of her big brothers told her to.

‘Right. If you frighten Libby again, you’re banned from visiting when Libby’s about and if you do, I will ignore you, no matter how difficult that may be.’

He’s talking to the ceiling again thought Claire who was hovering by the television.

‘Okay, sorry.’

‘She said sorry.’

‘This is effing weird,’ said Libby shaking her head.

‘Tell Libby that her father and Sandy, the woman Big Ed murdered, were watching her mother and Sandy twigged that it was Big Ed who was with her.’

The message passed, Libby accepted the information. ‘And is err, Sandy 100 per cent sure?’ Now she was talking to the ceiling.

‘Absolutely no doubt about it,’ Claire replied. ‘Our, umm, bosses double-checked and confirmed it.’

Claire sensed another presence and looked around. She was relieved to see it was Raphael and he was beckoning her with his finger.

‘I can’t talk anymore I’ve got to go. I’ll be in touch.’

Tony knew that she was gone as soon as she’d passed her final message and he took his wife’s hand and they walked to the kitchen. He got two glasses out of the cupboard and went to pour brandy into both.

‘I may have had a shock but there’s no way I’m drinking that stuff. It’s horrible.’

He breathed a sigh of relief. She was going to be okay. Mixing her usual poison of vodka and tonic they returned to the lounge to discuss what had happened, and what to do to protect her mother from the clutches of Gary Jamieson.
