"What if Kassie wants to make this into a business or something. Are you going to stop her from that?" Lucien asked as he looked from the porch to me.
"We will not stand in her way. We have lived in fear for too long and we have you four to thank for our freedom," she answered and I repeated it to all the guys.
"Are there treasures or something tying you here?" Jayce asked. "Do we need to hide them for you?"
The little blonde girl came forward and wrapped a hand around Lucien's then pulled him forward.
Jayce and I were hot on his heels as we stopped in the playroom that she took him into before, but he stopped in front of a little jewelry box.
"We are in here," the little girl squeaked out. "Don't let her get rid of this, please."
I give her a nod, "I will tell her. Will you all be okay if she tore down the wing that Lucy was housed in?"
"We would be grateful for that. We have no attachment to that part of the building," Charlie answered.
"I will pass on your wishes to her," I told her and when I looked up, the other spirits nodded to us and disappeared back from where they came.
Thirty minutes later, we arrived at the little diner that Kassie told us about and there she was pacing out front.
I put a smile on my face as I walked up to her, "Are you okay?"
She started and clutched her chest, "What? Oh, yes. I was worried about you guys."
"Well, here we are. All fine and your place is free of the evil spirit," I assured her.
"Just the evil one? Not all of them?" she questioned.
"No, they are harmless and don't want to leave their home. They did commit to not getting in the way for you to do what you wish for the building. The annex they agreed can come down," I informed her.
"I thought you were going to get rid of them all," she sighed.
Before I could answer, a cute, little redhead approached us with a smile, "There you are, Kassie."
"Hello, Celestia," she said tight-lipped.
"What's wrong?" the new arrival questioned.
"These are the friends I was telling you about, they got the vile spirit off the property, but not all," she told her, gesturing to us.
She turned to us and smiled, "Hi, I'm Kassie's cousin. I'm going to make the Reed House into a bed and breakfast."
"A haunted bed and breakfast?" Jayce questioned.
"That is a wicked good idea," she agreed, "What do you think, Kassie?"
"You're okay with ghosts just floating around?" Kassie questioned.
"As long as they are nice. Why can't we all just live together?" Celestia asked.
"They are nice and promised not to get in your way," I assured them.
"Right on," Celestia stated.
"Thank you all for everything. I'll mail you a check once we get the place up and running," she promised us.
"You're welcome and that works fine. If you need more help, you have our number," Lucien told her.
We head into the diner to grab a bite before we get on the road.
