After Marie disappeared, Danielle called the chief, asking him if he would mind lending a hand at the haunted house since Marie and Eva would not be helping. She then called the rest of the haunted house crew—just those who were aware of Marie and Eva’s existence—informing them of the spirits’ pending absence. Chances were, they would not be seeing the two spirits again until November arrived.

Walt, Danielle, Chris, Heather, Ian and the chief huddled in the parlor, discussing what changes needed to be made to compensate for losing two ghostly helpers.

“If we’re lucky, maybe our tea-loving spirit will return,” Heather said, glancing down at the tea set Danielle had left sitting on the coffee table.

“I’m a little uncomfortable about all this,” Danielle said with a sigh. “It’s like this really is a haunted house.”

“It always has been,” Ian reminded her.

“That’s not what I mean,” Danielle said. “I’ve never been afraid in Marlow House. A haunted house—like Presley House—it scared me.”

“And about killed you,” Heather added.

“Yes.” Danielle nodded.

“Eva assured us that we have no reason to fear for our safety,” Chris reminded them.

“If there is something we need to worry about, I certainly don’t feel comfortable having Eddy and Evan here,” the chief said.

“I don’t doubt what Eva says,” Danielle told the chief. “We aren’t in any danger. What I meant, it’s like we’re visitors to the haunted house—not someone just putting it on. Going through a haunted house, you never know what might jump out at you. But if you’re the ones responsible for putting it on, like us, we know what to expect around every corner.”

“But not now. Now we have a couple of rogue ghosts up to mischief,” Chris added.

“I rather like the idea,” Heather said. “A nice scary Halloween.”

“I don’t like being scared,” Danielle declared.

“Says the woman who has been seeing ghosts all her life and always seems so blasé about it,” the chief snorted.

“I just don’t like them jumping at me, yelling boo,” Danielle grumbled.

The next moment Evan walked into the parlor, wearing his ghost costume, and said, “Ginny’s not here yet.”

Danielle glanced at her watch and then looked up at Evan. “We’re opening in a few minutes. She’s usually here by now. Maybe she can’t come.”

“She did say they had to do something today,” the chief reminded. “Maybe it took longer than she expected, and she can’t come now. You’ll just have to haunt the upstairs without her.”
