Having fudge for dinner was kind of fun. Granted, it was probably the worst thing in the world in terms of nutrition, but who cared. Heck, some of my favorite dinners as a kid were when my sister, Candy, would announce that we were having ice cream for dinner.

“Mommy never made candy for dinner,” Lucy said.

“Well,” Tabby said. “Your Mommy is a hell of a cook.”

“Oh, I don’t know, I think you’re pretty damn good too,” I said, thinking about her chili made my mouth water.

Tabby smiled shyly.

“When’s Doc going to be back?” Lucy asked.

Tabby’s face fell. “I don’t know, honey.”

Lucy stared at the carpet.

Had I known it was going to take this long, I wouldn’t have even recommended he go and would have come up with something else to distract Lucy. Damn. “Hey,” I said. “I bet he’s just researching things really good.”

Lucy shook her head. “It didn’t feel like this before.”

She wasn’t the only one who was worried, but there was nothing else to do about it. If he didn’t come back after a few days, I was going to have to make a trip.

“Well, all we can do is wait. Hopefully, we’ll know soon,” Tabby said.

“Keep in mind that Doc is crafty. He might even be cooking something up. After all, we don’t know what he’s into when he isn’t with us.” I reached down and scratched Isaac behind the ears. He meowed.

I needed to be positive for Lucy. Hell, I needed to stop coming up with worst-case scenarios about everything.

“That’s true,” Lucy said.

“Why don’t you see if you can find another movie?” Tabby asked.

Lucy grinned and walked over to the TV.

“If he doesn’t come back, I don’t know if I’ll be able to forgive myself,” Tabby whispered.

“No sense in inviting trouble where there isn’t any. Try not to freak out until we know something.” Even though I said it, I didn’t believe it. Most of the time, Hell was coming. It was only a matter of when.

“But it’s so hard. “

I nodded. “I know.”

I kept waking up all night long in the hopes that any little sound I heard was Doc coming back, but it was just the house settling. If Doc didn’t show up soon, I’d have to concede defeat. Granted, I’d probably try to rescue him, but how does one rescue a ghost? I guessed I’d do what I normally did, get me a supply of holy water and hope for the best, but I wished I had something to help me out.

Around five, I gave up and went to the bathroom. When I got out, I heard someone saying my name very softly. I glanced around the bedroom, but there was nothing there. Then I peered into the hallway.

I could faintly see Doc’s outline. Not good.

“Are you okay?” I asked.

“I’ve been better. Gotta go recharge early. I already told Lucy.” I couldn’t even make out his face. That’s how weak he was.

“Okay. Thanks for letting me know,” I said.

“Not a problem, but that isn’t why I’m here.
