"I don't know. But it can't be him. Just for a moment, after... Patton, he looked terrified, mortified, at what he had done." Thomas theorized.

Janus' eyes brightened a little. Out of nowhere, a waved his hand, and a small handbook appeared in it.

"Ok, this isn't the best time, but is the that the handbook of the recently deceased? Like Beetlejuice?" Thomas asked.

"Uh... Sure. So, every ghost gets one of these. I only flipped through mine, but I think there's a section on possessions..." Janus opened it to the table of contents.

Thomas went beside him, "Yeah, page 120."

Janus opened it to page 120.

"There. 'Most normal ghosts aren't capable of possessions. Usually, only...'"

"You didn't finish your sentence."

"'Usually, only demons can possess someone,'" Janus swallowed, flipping to the page about demons, "'They can only possess the living.'"

"That doesn't make any sense, Janus. Logan's dead." Thomas grabbed the book.

"I noticed."

"Wait- there's a page missing. Is that possible?"

Janus took the book back. "223," He flipped to the table of contents, "Power and magic."

"Remus? Can you come back?" Thomas called. Remus strut into the room.

"Yeah?"

"Can I see your copy of this?" He held up the book.

"Sure," It appeared in his hand and he tossed it over.

Thomas flipped through, "No 223!" He sounded ecstatic.

"Why are you happy?" Janus frowned.

"So that means someone doesn't want us to know something."

"What?"

"That's a clue!"

"But how will we know who it is that doesn't want us to know about whatever Power and Magic is?"

"It has to be whoever is possessing Logan, right?"

"I guess that makes sense."

"So I'll go talk to him."
