The Docks

Sage realized that Milo had been following her. "Go away," she said.

"I can't do that," Milo said.

"I'm relieving you of your assignment," Sage said, "You can leave."

"Only Kellie can do that," Milo said.

"I just want some peace and quiet," Sage said, "Your hovering isn't helping."

"I can stand back by the buildings if you want," Milo said.

"Apparently you don't understand," Sage began to say when Georgie, Dillon, Maxie, Lucas, and Lulu appeared, laughing about something. Dillon was the first to stop laughing.

"She…she…" Dillon said, "Okay, this is some movie where you're coming to warn us about something bad happening because you're dead. I saw the body."

The rest of the group stood in shock with the exception of Lulu.

"What's the big deal?" Lulu said, "You all look at her like she's some ghost come back from the dead."

"Boo," Sage said. Everyone but Lulu ran.

"Since my so called friends ran off," Lulu said, "Can you explain to me why you have them all freaked out."

"We really should leave," Milo said.

"No one asked for your opinion," Sage said, "You'll only speak when spoken to."

"Yes, ma'am," Milo said.

"Yes, Sage," Sage said, "I am nowhere near old enough to be referred to as ma'am."

"Hello," Lulu said, "Confused person over here. Could you two lovebirds stop fighting long enough to clue me in?"

"Uh..we're not like that," Sage said.

"Whatever," Lulu said, "Let's get back to why I'm even still talking to you."

"I am a ghost come back from the dead," Sage said, "Sage Alcazar."

"The same Sage who died in a freezer," Lulu asked, "The same Sage who Diego decided to avenge your death by stalking girls and taking nude photos of them."

"Yes," Sage said, "Wait…cousin I never met did what? Never mind; I've got bigger problems like the fact that the entire town is about to find out I'm not dead."

"So why not just make a big deal out of it?" Lulu said, "People are going to find out anyway."

"This isn't good," Milo said to himself.

Sage let the thought sink in, "I like your thinking. What's your name?"

"Lulu Spencer," Lulu said, "Where would you like to start?"

"I left without a credit card or cash," Sage said, "Otherwise I'd say splurge on some clothes, I'm borrowing my cousin's who really could use some fashion pointers. Everything in her closet is t-shirts and jeans."

"Is Milo your guard?" Lulu asked.

"Yeah. Why"?" Sage asked.

Lulu walked over to Milo and pulled his wallet out of his pocket.

"Hey, that's mine," he said.

"But I bet your boss left you a credit card for business expenses," Lulu said, finding the card with Kellie's name on it, "I guess Kellie would be your cousin. I keep forgetting the whole being an Alcazar part. I think clothes in this situation would be a business expense."

"I have to agree," Sage said, taking the card from Lulu, "And we even have someone to carry stuff for us." Sage and Lulu began to leave.

Milo groaned as he followed the girls.
