Candy had been at work all day. Claymore came in with some more posters about the Schooner Bay Days and she had volunteered to hang some more of them up for him. She laughed as she watched him squirm . She knew that he was worried that the Captain might show up.

As he left the office and Candy headed out the door to hang some posters, she ran into Glen. He smiled at her . She was carrying all kinds of signs and he knew that she was going to be hanging them up for the games that were happening on that Saturday. "Could you use some help?" he asked her.

Candy was happy for the help, but especially happy to have Glen be the one to work with her. She smiled sweetly at him and said "Why thank you sir." Then she handed him some of the many posters.

The two of them spent the next hour hanging the posters and took a seat on one of the benches to rest. The bench was overlooking the wharf and Glen put his arm around Candy. She smiled and felt comfortable as they sat there for almost twenty minutes and enjoyed the quiet time together.

When the two of them got up from the bench they went towards town and Glen asked her if she was hungry. There was a nice restaurant in town and it didn't matter what they wore. She smiled and said "Yes I am starved."

The two of them went to Norrie's for one of his famous seafood dinners. The dinner was great and Candy had a great time. After dinner, she invited Glen up to her apartment. The apartment was always neat and she saw nothing wrong with him coming up.

As the two of them walked into the apartment, she was greeted by Captain Gregg. She tried to act like he wasn't there, but he spoke up. He spoke directly to Glen who answered back. She was amazed. 'Since when did Glen see the Captain?' she thought to herself.

The Captain and Glen could both see the look of puzzlement on Candy's face and they each smiled at her. "Your friend is very good at feeling my presence and the other night he challenged me. I showed myself to him in haste. But it seems that he has something to tell us himself. Such as he had a ghost in his house when he was a child too."

Glen had meant to tell Candy about his ghost. But, how do you approach someone about such things. His family wanted to have privacy also. Seaman Applegate had been somewhat odd when he had first come to stay with them. But, he had grown very fond of the spirit and he had told Glen about Captain Gregg. Glen cleared his throat and said "I am sorry that I did not tell you everything at first. My house was haunted when I was a young boy. It was haunted by one of Captain Gregg's men a seaman Applegate. He told me about the Captain and when I got the chance to come to Schooner Bay I took it."

Candy couldn't believe what she was hearing. She had always been told to never mention anything about the Captain outside of the home. She understood why Glen had not said anything to her. But 'Seaman Applegate' of all things. He was the funny little guy who was afraid of people. She smiled at the Captain and Glen and said "I remember that ghost well. How is he?"

Glen smiled at her and told her "He is fine. He has adjusted to out lifestyle and is a part of our family as much as anyone else. He doesn't come here, because he promised Captain Gregg that he would never be seen again if he helped him learn to haunt" Glen told them.

Candy looked at the Captain and remembered the day that Elroy Applegate had promised the Captain just that. "Did he ever learn to do some tricks? I mean some ghost tricks." she smiled

Glen looked at her and the Captain and said "He is not as good at haunting as some ghosts I am sure, but he has helped me when I needed the help and I care for him deeply."

Candy understood how Glen felt. She could not imagine her life without the Captain. Yes, sometimes it was difficult and sometimes she wished that she could tell her friends about him, but he had been like a father to her. She smiled and said "Well, not I don't have to act like I am on the phone or something whenever I am talking to the Captain and you are around Glen. I trust you to not say anything to anyone."

As the three of them sat down at the kitchen table all three of them had a wonderful visit. Candy enjoyed the Captain and Glen. The three of them were becoming true friends and she was glad that Glen had found out the truth.

Captain Gregg excused himself and went home to Gull Cottage. He found Carolyn Muir downstairs sitting in the living room doing some knitting. She was still the most beautiful woman in Schooner Bay and he smiled at her as he appeared next to her. "Good evening Captain" she told him with a sincere smile.

"Good evening Mrs. Mur. I have been visiting with Candy and Glen." he told her.

Carolyn Muir had found out that Glen knew about the Captain. She had been very worried, but neither one of her children or the Captain seemed worried at all. Glen was being accepted into the small group of people who knew the truth. She laughed to herself thinking about Seaman Applegate and how different he and the Captain were. She was sure that Glen had some stories too. She would like to hear them someday.

The evening was a quiet one at Gull Cottage and the Captain and Carolyn Muir enjoyed the peace and quiet of the evening. The next day was going to be a busy one as it was the day before the Schooner Bay games and there were a lot of preperations to be made.
