“Dad, it was so cool,” Eddy told his father. “I was really flying.”

“Sounds like you had an interesting day.” The chief chuckled. He sat in a recliner while Walt and Danielle sat on the sofa together, each holding a baby, while Eddy sat on the fireplace hearth with his brother.

“It was all fun and games until Lily called,” Danielle said with a snort. “We should have shut the front blinds. I saw June and Kelly were across the street. But I didn’t imagine they could see inside the living room window from over there. Of course, I didn’t consider June would find Ian’s binoculars and become a peeping tom.”

“What did they say?” the chief asked.

“They didn’t say anything to us. But when they stopped by the hospital after leaving here, they told Lily and Ian about it. Lily convinced them it was one of Walt’s magic tricks.”

“And Danielle told me that if anyone asked how he did it,” Eddy chimed in, “I’m to say I can’t give away a magician’s secrets.”

“Which really isn’t lying,” Danielle said. “Walt’s secret was using Marie’s energy.” Danielle didn’t mention Walt’s energy because the mediums and the chief had agreed not to say anything about Walt’s background or gifts to Eddy. They worried that might be too much for the teenager to absorb all at once.

“While you were over here doing magic tricks, I was having a conversation with the Bowman twins,” the chief told Walt and Danielle.

Before Walt or Danielle could respond, Wesley appeared in the middle of the living room.

“What are you doing here?” Danielle asked.

The chief arched his brows. “I assume you’re not talking to me?”

“It’s that ghost who followed Eddy and me back from the pier,” Evan told his father.

“He’s here?” Eddy asked in a loud whisper.

Evan pointed to where the ghost stood.

“Please hear me out,” Wesley urged. “I obviously chose the wrong medium.”

“What are you talking about?” Danielle asked.

“I should have gone to him first.” Wesley pointed to Evan. “His father is the police chief. That’s who can help me. It’s his job to stop a murder.”

“The chief already knows about your request,” Danielle said.

Wesley frowned. “He does?”

“Yes. And like us, he needs more information. Let’s pretend you were still alive and go directly to the chief, telling him Adrian planned to marry Bonnie for her money before killing her. He can’t do anything unless you tell him everything you can to support your claim.”

“That’s a poor analogy,” Wesley snapped. “For one thing, I already told you why, for the money. And two, if I were alive, I would still be married to Bonnie, so Adrian couldn’t marry her, anyway.” Wesley disappeared.

“He’s gone,” Evan announced.

“What was that all about?” the chief asked.

“Same thing. He wants to stop his brother from marrying his widow.” Danielle looked at Evan. “If he comes back later and asks you to get your father to do something, remind him your father already knows everything, and unless he has additional information, there’s nothing any of us can do.
