Chapter 17

Luke gave Reid some time to be alone than he walked upstairs, and found Reid sitting on the bed. Luke walked over, and sat on the bed beside him, and Reid tried to smile but it was hard the way he was feeling.

"Reid if you want to move I will understand"

"Do you believe me that I saw her"?

"Yes I know you saw something that scared you. I am just as upset as you that we were not told about this place. It is awful that someone so young is missing"

"Dead she is dead"

"Reid they never found her maybe it isn't her that is haunting you"

"It is I know it but what can I do to help her"?

"I don't know maybe moving is for the best"

"Luke I need to know what happened to her"

"I am sure her family wants to know to Reid. You are not a Cop you are a surgeon what could we do that the Police didn't do"?

"Maybe if we stay she will talk to me"

"A Ghost Reid"?

"You think I am crazy well I know what I need to do. I want to stay in this house, and I want to see if she tells me what happened to her"

"Ok but maybe you need some sleep you have not slept much in the last couple of days"

"I am tired will you stay with me"?

"Of course I will read some paperwork from the Office while you sleep"

"Luke why do you think she haunts me, and not you"?

"I don't know maybe she thinks you are cute"

"Not funny Luke this is serious"

"I don't know Reid maybe you have the ability to see them some people do"

"I don't want to see them really"

Luke smiled "Get some sleep I will be right here beside you"

Reid touched Luke's face, and said, "I love you Luke, I know you wanted our new place to bring happiness and fun into our lives. I hate that you have to deal with all this but I know I have to stay just in case I can help her"

"I know Reid and I think that just proves you have a big heart". Reid smiled as he laid down, and Luke grabbed his papers from the night table, and started to read them. It wasn't long before Reid fell asleep he was so exhausted, and Luke was glad he was finally getting some rest.
