Chapter 1

I yawned quietly, as I sat on the first chair on the right side of the long desk. The mayor had called us to his office, it wasn't actually his office, it was his meeting room.
I leaned my left elbow on the table, and rested my head in my open hand. I had a pen in my right hand, which I clicked constantly. Erik was almost pulling his hair out because it annoyed him so much. He was sitting behind me, followed by Hardrive. On the other side, Mina and Halen sat together, their hands on the table, and Mina's right hand and Halen's left hand were together.
I was really tired. I had hardly got any sleep last night for some reason. The mayor looked like an alien to me, just sitting there, talking in alien non stop. I slowly closed my eyes, and stopped clicking.
All of a sudden, something made my eyes pop open. The mayor had said 'haunted.'
"Haunted?" I said, rubbing my right eye. I set the pen down on the table and leaned back in my leather chair, stretching my arms out.
"Yes, haunted. Mr. and Mrs. Thwaite have been complaining of strange things happening . . . Seeing figures in the halls, hearing crying, stuff like that," he explained.
I leaned my left arm back on the table and scratched the back of my neck. "I don't believe in ghosts."
"That might be a good thing . . ." The mayor sighed. "Mr. Thwaite called me, and he asked me who he was going to ask to do the job . . ."
"Well, why didn't you ask the Ghost Busters? I'm sure they're a lot better than us. Plus, I've got a movie on today that I wanted to see," Erik complained.
"The Ghost Busters aren't real . . . It was just a movie," Hardrive mumbled, hitting Erik over the head.
I snickered.
After a while, Mina spoke up. "How are we gonna get rid of them?"
"You have to talk to them . . . Somehow . . ." The mayor stuttered.
"Oh yeah. That'll be easy. Just walk up to a ghost and say 'hey, get out of this house, the owner wants you out,'" I grumbled.
The mayor sighed, sitting in his chair. "You're probably going to have to stay a few days in the mansion," the mayor explained. "And wait until dark until the ghosts and things come out."
"That's fine with me," Halen said, stretching out of his chair.
"When do we go?" Hardrive asked.
"Tonight."
