The ‘ghost in a mirror’ thing wasn’t new to me. When I moved into my inherited home at number thirteen Charm Close, I had been welcomed by a ghost in my bathroom mirror. The shock of that encounter caused me to pass out, only to be woken moments later by a talking cat. It had been a rough day. The ghost that had startled me had been my aunt Edith.

I had later been informed that when a witch dies, they can inhabit the mirrors of their home as a ghost, she had been unable to speak to me, communicating through a series of shoddy sign language for quite some time until, suddenly, she regained her voice. I wasn’t sure what to make of the situation I now found myself in, however.

It was almost enough to make me laugh.

I had been invited onto a private yacht by my boyfriend as an extension of an offer by a millionaire. This was supposed to be a whirlwind luxury experience that I might never have again in my lifetime. Yet here I now was, sitting in the messy office of a dead man who was now haunting me through a mirror framed with wood that probably cost more than my house.

After I shook off the madness of the moment, I looked more intently at Nicholas’s ghost.

He was crying.

“Well hello! Fancy seeing you here!” I joked. I leaned forward and rested my elbows on a pile of papers in front of me, then balanced my chin on my hands. “What have you been up to?” I managed to get a brief smile out of him, but then the silent tears continued to flow. “Is this one of those ‘you can’t speak for some reason’ type of deals, or are you going to just tell me who killed you? It would save me a lot of time and I’ll be straight with you, re-filing a strangers paperwork is not my dream morning.”

“I just wanted love!” he howled. His ghost then faded into nothing and I was once again alone in the office.

“Who are you speaking to in there?” Ryan shouted through the door.

“Just a ghost, don’t come in,” I replied, as if that was a normal thing to say out loud. I took a deep breath and stretched my legs out underneath the desk, my feet hitting something solid where a gap should have been. I wheeled the chair back a little and saw a solid metal cube that had most definitely not been there a moment ago.

It was a safe that had just appeared out of nowhere, this must be the one Monty had given me the key to, unless there were others hidden in the walls somehow. Ryan then knocked on the door in a specific way, signaling that someone was out there.

I glanced back down at the safe again and it disappeared. It must be some sort of preservation mechanism. Until the coast was clear I would have to make my way through the papers that were scattered across the room, a daunting task.
