The Financial Advisor ON HOLD

Hello!

I stood in the hallway with Jay looking at the photo of Uncle Elias and Sam came running up to us, "Jay, Mags! Where were you two?" Jay pointed behind him, "I was in the attic." I nodded slowly, "I was in the basement. Are you okay?" Talking to some ghosts that died of Cholera, but Sam doesn't know that ghosts are real. Sam looked distraught, "Jay, they're back. I woke up, and one was in the bathroom..."

I was confused, "What?" Jay looked at me, "Sam thinks she can see ghosts. Okay, Whoa, Sam. These are just residual effects from your accident." Sam sighed, "I ran into the door of the bathroom when I tried to attack him with a toilet brush." Jay nodded, "Um, is that like to ghosts what wooden stakes are to vampires?" Sam looked frustrated, "It was the only thing handy! Please don't make fun of me. I really saw one." 

Jay sighed, "Okay, okay. Um, have you seen one since you hit your head?" Sam looked around, "No. Do you think somehow hitting my head the second time cured me?" Jay nodded, "I mean if you haven't seen one since you hit your head, you're probably out of the woods." Sam looked behind us, "Oh, my god. They're back! They're here! They're all behind you and one is flirting with Maggie!" Jay frowned and looked behind us, "I don't see anybody. Trust me, Mags getting someone to flirt with her is like a blessing. She needs a man." 

I rolled my eyes at Jay, ignoring that Trevor kept whispering pickup lines in my ear so I didn't freak Sam out more, "Ha, ha, Jay. You're so funny. Why are we friends?" Jay snickered, "Cause you love me." I turned and faced the portrait again, "I hate this man." Jay smiled at Sam, "You go get some rest, because your man and sister are taking care of business." Sam didn't look convinced and I smiled sheepishly, "I didn't focus on the conversation after Jay made fun of me. Sorry, I can't help." Sam groaned, "It's okay, Maggie. Jay, do you know how that works?" 

Jay pulled the trigger of the drill and I snickered, "He doesn't but I do. Don't worry Sam. I can keep Jay in line." Jay nodded, "The internet also knows." Pete looked confused, "The internet?" Trevor smacked him, "It's an invention for looking up stock prices and porn. But now that Maggie is here, I need no internet." Jay smiled, "I'm gonna let the contractors handle the big things. But you know what? Papa Bear's gonna save some money where I can, because we're not all Mr. Moneybags here, am I right?"

I rolled my eyes at the portrait and Mimi gasped, "From where did you find this awful painting of my philandering husband?" Sass smiled, "Oh, yeah, Elias. I remember where he sat for that painting and then when he slept with the artist." Sam frowned and looked at me, "When you always visited Great Aunt Sophie, did she mention any family history about this man?" I nodded, "Elias Woodstone. Asshole. Cheater. Don't like him. Sam, do you have any emotional attachment to this painting?" Sam shook her head, "I don't know him." I smiled, "Good." 

I ripped the painting off the wall and Mimi smiled, "Yes!" I smiled at Jay, "I'm cutting this up to find money inside." Jay laughed, "I doubt there is money in the frame but go off. What are you going to do afterward?" I smirked, "Set the whole thing on fire." Mimi cheered loudly, causing Sam to jump, "Thank you!" Sam nodded, "Okay, I guess I'll just go lie down. Mags, please don't let Jay hurt himself." I nodded and gripped the painting in my hand as Sam left. Jay looked at me and fired up the drill, "Let's go my rich best friend, we have work to do." 

I followed him out of the room and grimaced as he walked through some ghosts. I set a hand on Alberta's shoulder and squeezed lightly to show my sympathy for her and she smiled, "Thank you, Maggie." I saw Mimi follow Jay and she glared at him, "What are you doing in my room?" I looked at Jay, "What are you planning for this room?" Jay smiled, "A man cave." Mimi was confused and I waved to her, gesturing that I would explain later. I looked at Jay, "Are you sure you want to be drilling into really old walls?"

I sat on the edge of the bed and started removing the painting from the frame and Jay nodded, "This could be our hangout room, Mags. Just like old times!" Jay started to drill the wall and he went through it, making a hole. I gasped as Mimi did and Jay looked sheepish, "Oh, no." Mimi walked to him, "What are...What are you...What are you doing?" Flower popped up from her room, "Oh, hey, Hetty. This is fun!" Mimi gasped, "This is not fun! This horrible man has destroyed the sanctity of our rooms. Magnolia, do something!"
