Chapter 14

Big Bob followed them back to the shop and helped Frankie take the items upstairs to the stockroom. He didn’t say anything about the near empty condition of the shop or the fact that Frankie was living in the stockroom.

Grace looked at the furniture as Frankie arranged it around the small room.

Had Jacob come along with the furniture? Would she have to go back to the empty storage room to see if he was there? Would she be allowed in the storage room now?

She could hardly raise the topic with Frankie and Big Bob.

Frankie said, “I’m going over to Big Bob’s shop to see what sort of stock he sells there. Do you want to come with us?”

“You’re more than welcome,” Big Bob added.

“No thanks, I’ll stay here. Perhaps I can give this place a bit of a clean,” Grace said.

Frankie pointed to the chest of drawers. “You can sort through that, there’s something inside, I heard something moving about. But don’t throw any valuables away.”

Grace nodded, thinking that it was unlikely that the 17-year old Jacob would have any valuables.

She waited until she heard Big Bob and Frankie leave the shop, then she called out, “Jacob? Are you here? Can you give me a sign?” She tutted. “I sound like some sort of ghost hunter on reality TV.”

“What’s a ghost hunter?”

Grace jumped and clutched her chest. Jacob grinned at her, he was sitting on top of the chest of drawers. He jumped down and turned to look at it. He reached out a hand as if to open a drawer. His hand passed through the drawers as if they were made of water.

Jacob swore. Grace tutted again and said, “Watch your language. I thought I’d left you at the storage place.”

“I was in the back of the van. This town hasn’t changed much, has it? Some of the shops have been here for years. There’s some fancy cars though, have you got a car?”

Grace quickly shook her head and changed the subject. “Do you want me to have a look in the drawers for you?”

“Yeah,” Jacob responded.

He moved closer as Grace opened the top drawer.

“My music!” Jacob cried out with delight.

Grace picked up a cassette. She could see a list of songs handwritten on the front cover. “Did you make this tape?”

“Those are my favourite Bruce songs. It was playing when,” Jacob suddenly faltered. “Whoa! I just had a memory flash, that was weird. It was playing when me and Steve were driving to see a Bruce tribute band.”

“When was that?”

Jacob’s hand flew to his head and he winced.

“Jacob, what is it? Are you in pain?” Grace asked.

“ A painful memory, never had those before. But I’ve never been dead before. It was the night that I died. I was in a car with Steve. We were late, I blamed Steve and I kept shouting at him to hurry up. We were on the motorway and he wouldn’t drive fast enough.”

Grace looked with concern at Jacob. “Can you remember anything else? Did Steve die too?”

Jacob’s face scrunched up as he thought.
