Brad found himself once again in the dark hallways as he went towards the next room. On the way, he spotted ghost mice, sending some shivers up his spine.

"I'd hate to imagine what killed those little guys..." Brad thought to himself.

He then reached the door to the master bedroom, so he took out the key and unlocked the door. Brad took a deep breath before heading in. Inside was a very decent sized room consisting of a fan on the ceiling, a large bed, two large windows, and some other things that a normal bedroom would have. There was also a small stool and a mirror next to one of the windows in the right upper corner of the room.

"Nice room, I'll admit." He said while looking around. 

Thunder suddenly boomed from outside, scaring Brad and making him scramble under the bed for safety. 

"Calm down, Brad. It's just a little thunder, and you're...somewhat safe in here. Anyway, where's that ghost?" 

Brad poked his head out and searched around the room, eventually landing his eyes on a stool and mirror. There sat another feline ghost dressed just like Katie was, but with some differences. For one, this ghost kept her long black hair in a ponytail, her tail had a white tip on it, and she seemed to be younger. 

"Let's see what the old watch says." Brad thought, getting up on his feet.

The toony rabbit aimed the watched at the ghost's barely visible heart. Once he pressed the X button, a biography of the woman came up. 

"This is Olivia, a fellow police officer and sister to Katie. She stashed away her life savings to prepare for her long afterlife, eventually meeting it when she was shot to death in the line of duty. She is also the mother of Katherine, Kit and Winter...whoever they are!"

Brad then took a closer look at the ghost, noticing how immersed she was with her hair. She was brushing it while humming a delightful tune. He tried to blind her with his flashlight, but Olivia was completely unresponsive to the light.

"Drat...what now?" He thought. 

"Isn't my hair just gorgeous, Brad?" Olivia suddenly questioned him, knowing he was there. "Of course, I do spend a lot of time on it. I was so bored cooped up in that painting, but now I can spend all my time in front of this mirror. It does tend to scare people, though, so everything is coming up peachy!" 

"Noted..." Brad said, deciding he definitely needed to find her weakness. 

He approached one of the windows, the closest one to Olivia. He was very apprehensive about getting so close to the ghoul, but he sucked it up and realized that the curtain that covered the window was blowing a little, as if wind was coming into the room!

"Odd. Although, I wonder if..." 

Brad decided to test his new theory by vacuuming the curtains to the side. Instantly, he found a crack in the window and the wind began to blow in, messing up Olivia's hair. She let out a wail in response, putting her hands to her face and trying to block the wind blowing against her. 

"Oh golly...such a draft!" She cried in distaste.

Brad saw his chance and quickly stunned her with his flashlight, revealing her more visible heart. He grabbed the hose of the Spirit Sucker 5000 and began vacuuming up Olivia. She screeched and flew around the room as her HP depleted quickly. As Brad chased the feline around the room, sparkling pearls began to drop onto the floor. One tango of a fight later, and Olivia was sucked into Brad's vacuum, making both the lights come back on, and a box to appear in the middle of the room. Our long eared friend went over to it and took out the key, celebrating with his little dance from earlier.
