Mel and Ned were stood at the counter at talking while Delia was sorting new boxes and invoices.

"I just don't get it. If he wants me to know the secret why doesn't he tell me himself?" asked Mel, thinking to herself for a minute.

"Has Cassie said anything about anyone else dying lately?" asked Mel trying to get to the bottom of who this ghost was.

"No, not really" Ned said trying to remember what they did actually talk about, "she seems to be distant."

"Who wouldn't be? Her mum died and now her boyfriends died. It sucks a bit doesn't it?" said Delia looking up from a stack of papers. Both Mel and Ned glared at her causing her to look back at her papers.

"Sorry for butting in. I'll just... erm... I'm just going take this box down stairs," she said picking up the box she had been looking through and hurrying down to the basement. They both laughed at how uncomfortable Delia had been by been stared down by them.

"Maybe she just wanted someone to talk to?" said Mel trying to think of people who this Brian could be.

"Yeah, like a councillor or psychologist or something." Mel nodded her head.

Brian suddenly appeared and Mel could sense that he was angry. As he appeared he caused two antique pots to fall to the floor.

"NO!"

"What?" asked Mel turning to face Brian.

"I'm no councillor or whatever!" he said calming down a little.

"Then who are you?" Mel asked, annoyed by the fact that she repeatedly had to ask this question and getting no answer.

"Is he here?" asked Ned looking around the room.

"Yeah, he's over by the shelves."

"Look, what do you want with Cassie? She's done nothing wrong. What do you want from her? You do anything to her and I'll... I'll..." Ned didn't know what to say next, what could he do to a ghost he couldn't exactly hit him.

"NO! I'd never do anything to hurt her!"

"He said he'd never do anything to hurt her," Mel said to Ned trying to calm him down. She put her hand on his shoulder indicating to him that he should sit down before he did anything drastic.

"What do you want then?" asked Ned after he had calmed down.

"I need her to tell someone."

"Tell them what?" asked Mel, Ned had got up again. His angry was rising.

"What does she need to tell us? Why can't you just tell us?" A tear came to his eye which made Mel's maternal instincts kick in and pull him into a hug.

"Hey, it's alright. Calm down." He sat down on the chair and buried his face in his hands. After a few minutes he raised his head and said gently,

"Why? Why does she have to tell us? Why can't you?"

"NO! SHE NEEDS TO TELL YOU NOT ME!" His anger caused another pot to fall from the shelf. Once again he disappeared without answering the question.

"What happened did he go?" asked Ned softly. Mel nodded her head and wiped away his tears. Delia had heard all the commotion so rushed the stairs and into the store.

"What happened?" she asked looking at the smashed pots and her son sat down reduced to tears.

"Ghost"

After about 10 minutes Ned had stood up and his eyes and face was tear free. From the corner of the room Mel heard a voice.

"She's with Ally and they're crying. She's packing a bag with... OH NO!" Brian was back and he was calm. However Mel could hear the worry in his voice. She turned to look at him, some of the cuts and bruises had disappeared.

"Please tell me what's happening." It took Brian a couple of minutes to answer, and by the time he did both Ned and Delia were looking in the same direction as Mel as though they could see him too.

"She's gonna run... She's gonna run away... With Ally... You have to stop them!
