The shape of a woman appeared. They all saw the ghost how Trudy had described her. She had black hair, down to her ribs. Her skin was pale white and her eyes glowed red. She really only wore a very thin veil, wrapped around her thin body, stained with soot. She was crying, everyone saw her cry.
"Samuel! Samuel! Baby, come to Mama! Come to Mama, my sweet! My love, come to your mama!"
The ghost woman wandered down, turned and she set her sights on the people watching.
"You all! Have you seen my baby? Where is my child? Have you seen my child?" She asked the crowd of people. "Help me find my child, please help me find my child. My precious child, help me to find him. Help me to find my long-lost son, please. He's gone and I cannot find him."
"If we help you, will you leave this house alone?" Patricia asked taking a step forward.
"Yes yes I promise I will!" The ghost cried in desperation.
"What if you didn't?" Eddie asked taking a step forward as well.
"I never break any promise." She told them.
"What if you're lying?" Nina asked she was about to take a step forward when Fabian stopped her.
"Do I look like I would lie?" The woman asked innocently.
"Maybe since you killed a lot of pets, yeah." Jerome said.
Everyone looked at Trudy. Trudy mouthed 'She cannot be trusted.'
The Sibunas (includes Eddie) shared a knowing glance Victor saw this and said "No, you children are not helping this woman."
"Victor, it can be the only way that this woman may rest in peace and no one could be killed" Nina said taking a step forward.
"She is not an ordinary mystery to be solved." Victor said.
At this point Mara, Trudy and Mick looked confused, even if Jerome isn't a part of Sibuna he knows what mystery Victor meant.
"Victor, we fought Rufus and Senkhara they are more trouble then this." Patricia said pointing to the woman.
"You don't know what she can do!" Victor shouted.
"I'll help you, as long as you keep to your promise to stop haunting this kind of hurting won't stop unless you have your baby." Trudy spoke up to the ghost, shocking everyone.
Victor and Jasper went to stop her, but she gently brushed their hands away. The kids looked at her like she was mental.
"You speak as if you know what I feel for my child. Do you have a child?" The ghost woman asked Trudy.
"No, I don't. But I do have these students, they're like my own. I don't know what I'd do if the same thing happened to me. Can you describe your child?"
"He had golden-black hair, green-blue-grey eyes and he was little. Very little." The ghost described.
Trudy looked about. A little boy was perched in the kitchen.
He called "Mama, Mama! Where are you, Mama? Come to me, Mama, for I am very scared!"
Trudy went to the kitchen. The boy, exact description of the woman's son was sat there. He let out a shrill scream.
"Sweetheart, sweetheart, calm down. It's OK, my lovely. I'm here to give you back to your mama." Trudy spoke gently to the child.
"Miss, where is my mama? I have seen you, time and again, but you do not speak of Mama. Is my mama here? Where is my mama?" The boy was hopeful.
"I know where your mother is, my sweet, but you have to let me carry you there. Would you let me?" Trudy spoke kindly.
"You will take me to Mama? Thank you kindly, Miss, for you are a love." The child spoke as if he was from a different time.
Trudy lifted the child carefully. She carried him lightly to the ghost lady. The woman smiled, something she hadn't done in over a hundred years.
"Mama, Mama! Oh, Mama, I did miss you!" The child shouted happily as he was given to his mother.
"I missed you, too, my sweetest child. Come, come." The ghost mother took her son. "Miss, how can I thank you enough? You have helped us to our rest, allow us please to give you something in gratitude to you, return for your kindness."
Trudy couldn't believe her own ears. "I can't take anything. Just to help you with your baby was enough."
The group watched the exchange.
"You like children, do you not, Miss?" The little boy asked.
"I love them." Trudy answered, not knowing his plan.
The child whispered to his mother.
"Of course. Dear me, yes. That is a wonderful idea, child." The ghost said happily to her son.
"Miss, tell us. Are you married?" The ghost lady asked.
"No, I'm not." She answered. Jasper looked at Trudy in confusion.
"The man behind you is wondering if he should ask you to marry him. We know now how to give you what you would like." The small ghost boy said.
Trudy said "Excuse me?"
"You told us you do not have children, yet you like them. Your partner is planning to ask you to marry him. We want to thank you. We will give you a gift."
With that the ghosts disappeared.
Trudy was weirded out and she fainted. The kids gasped and swarmed around her. Victor was there too.
They had to get her to her room. Jasper got through and scooped her up.
"I've got her." He told them all and took her to her room.
Victor waited until the two left the room. Then he faced the kids. Alfie and Jerome cracked up. Eddie did a perfect imitation of Victor.
"'She is not an ordinary mystery to be solved'? Ha ha!" Eddie gloated. "The poor thing just wanted her kid back."
Victor stood there, his expression blank.
Then Nina said "Shut up, guys, I think Victor has something he wants to say to us."
The whole lot of them shut up. Victor looked at Nina.
"Thank you, Miss Martin. That ghost was not an ordinary mystery. Did you all hear what she said to Trudy?" He asked them.
As much as Victor hated to admit it, he loved Trudy like his daughter. If anything, he wanted to protect her from anything bad. Like Rufus, Senkhara, this ghost and heartbreak.
Mara said "She just told her thanks."
Joy said "She offered her a thank you gift."
"Right there, Miss Mercer. The thank you gift. Do you all know what this spirit offered to her?" Victor asked them.
Nina spoke quietly. "Something Trudy's always wanted."
Fabian spoke at the same level as Nina. "The ghost said Jasper plans to propose to her."
Patricia whispered "They know she hasn't got kids."
Alfie said "They're gonna give them a kid." He sounded like he didn't see a problem. He thought that the ghosts were just going to give Trudy and Jasper a newborn baby by the next day.
"Yes, Mr Lewis, yes. They will. Trudy is not supposed to be able to have children. This gift is a possible way of killing her." Victor told them.
All the kids looked at each other and Victor in horror. What had just happened? Why hadn't they stopped Trudy? There was now a possibility of her being killed. And they had no way to stop it.
"What will we do now?" Jerome asked, panicking.
