I.L. Beback
"No! Let us out!" they cried, banging on the door.
"Hey, wait, you can fly out, Emily!" cried Scarlet. "You can go stop them!"
"I can't!" exclaimed Emily. "They put a ghost shield on it!"
"A what?"
"A ghost shield! It prevents ghosts from flying through stuff!"
"Great! Now what are we going to do!?"
"If only we had something to break down the door with!"
" Did somebody call for a sledgehammer?" said a ghost, bursting suddenly out of the ground.
"Who are you?"
"My name is I. L. Beback. But please, call me I. L."
"You're I. L. Beback?"
"Yep. Have you heard of me?"
"Well actually –", began Scarlet.
"No time! Save it for later! Can you break down the door?" gasped Emily.
"Uh…yeah. Stand back!" he cried, as he raised a huge sledgehammer and struck the door, which crumbled to pieces.
"Later!" he cried, as he disappeared back into the ground.
