As Kacie was busy on the phone with a client, Alastair was hovering over her seemingly nervously.
"Would you like me to inform him about anything else?" Kacie questioned.
"I see..." She nodded, jotting something down on a nearby notepad.
"Okay then, take care, bye-bye!" She said, hanging up the phone.
"Well?" Alastair began just inches from her face.
"Uh, boss, a little personal space isn't too much to ask, for now, is it...?" Kacie asked, chuckling nervously.
"Ah, you're right, my apologies..." Alastair mumbled, stepping back a bit.

The spirit giggled from across the room."Shut up and play whatever song it is you want to dance to; we're limited on time!" Alastair exclaimed."Aw, come on now, don't be such a stick in the mud Mr. Exorcist...!" The spirit whined as she hit play and hustled to the center of the dance floor."Wait!"

Nothing in the world was going to wake the girl up at this point. She was out cold."Guess I have no choice..." Alastair muttered, giving the girl a piggyback ride as he headed towards the apartment complex.As he entered, he was greeted by four familiar faces."Hey..."

"A-ah, wait, Alastair, you know I hate the dark, please don't close the door!" Rachael pleaded. "What, are you afraid of ghosts?" He laughed. No way... Is the spirit already onto me...?!
