- Chapter 4 - We can't!

Guess who is alive!! I have a half term so I am using it to its full advantage. This chapter is lots and lots a dialogue and I don't say who said it so if you get confused just ask in the comments. I wrote this in a day so sorry if its short. I got it over 1000 words and thats what I aim for right now so I am not gonna worry bout it no more.

"It's just not a option guys... As much as I would love to, there is no way of changing their minds" Impulse stated yet again.

This has been going on for a few minutes and neither side was relenting.

They were back at the base, sitting on some camping chairs eating some pasta Skizz just made.

"Their minds?", Scar didn't know who they were. Well nobody knew except Impulse but they were refrenced often.

"The higher ups, the exorcists who come in after us and get rid of the ghosts." Skizz explained.

"Why do they get to say what happens. Why can't just lie to them?" Grian was kind of like Scars mouthpice. He would speak for Scar when he wouldn't himself. When Scar was too nice to get his point across.

Scar was thankful for this, it had got him out of a lot of bad situations. Like his unemployment, or fights, or that one time he got in trouble with the police for dressing up as a teal and orange superhero who shot arrows at people and accidentally broke someones window. But that wasn't him, he swears.

"Grian, Do I have to say it again? I can't do anything about it!"

"Hey, how about we all calm do-"

"Shut up Skizz!"

"Grian!"

"What?"

"You don't talk to Skizz like that! If your getting angry at someone get angry at me!"

"Grian please..."

"Scar, Do you want your point to get across or not?"

"I do... but we don't need to shout about it..."

A slience filled the room. The tension could be cut by a knife. It was only broken when Skizz spoke up again.

"Why dont we just talk this through, calmly. Scar, do you wanna start?"

"Uh... Ok. Impulse, I know you are saying you can't change their minds, but have you... tried?"

"Well... no, but I know how they are. Keeping Mumbo to the side was a hard task to begin with. And besides they don't want to be put of a job."

"Can't you go under the radar? Lie to them? Pretend you aren't finding more ghosts?"

"Its really not that easy Grian. They see all. They would know if I lied to them."

"And what would they do about it? Legally they can't do anything to hurt you."

"They would find a way. They always find a way"

"Jeez, no need to say it so creepily"

"Look, they have their ways. And by how they have talked about past workers here, I wouldn't put it past them to break the law."

"Dipple dop... Do you really think that its wise to, stay working here? That makes it seem like they have murdered them."

"They wont harm us, I promise."

"That doesn't make me any less worried!"

"Sorry Skizz, They are a bit scary but you will neber have to come face to face with them. Thats what I do"

"That makes me worried for your saftey"

"I'll be fine"

"Well, if we do die, atleast we know we still get to live on..."

"They won't harm us, Scar"

"If they won't harm us, why not? If you were a Ghost, would you wanna be exorcised."

"It does sound quite... painful."

"But they freak people out, thats why we are called. If they didn't make it know they were there, no one would have a problem."

"Don't put the blame on them! They are there not being able to talk to anyone and thatlack of communication drives the crazy!"

"And Scars just found a way to talk to them!"

"Your on their side now, Skizz?"

"Impulse, I-"

"Im trying to do what is best for us, and your messing it all up!"

"No, no I just-"

"Shut up, Just Shut Up!"

"No, You shut up! You said it yourself, we don't get angry at Skizz. He did nothing wrong!"

"Grian, stay out of this."

"No, Im not staying out of this. Skizz is trying to do what is morally right. All three of us are"

"If we do this, we don't get paid!"

"I can help! Money isn't a problem!"

"Just beacuse your parents were rich Grian, doesn't mean all your problems are solved"

"It solves this problem!"

"Are you trying to get all of us fired?"

"They were people once, Ghosts a beings who died before their time was supposed to be up. They stay on earth to complete what they lived for!"

"Impulse, just listen to us. We can do this. We just need you to help"

"No, Im trying to do what is best for us, to keep us afloat. All your doing is throwing my hardwork down the drain.

"And I appreciate, I really do!"

"Skizz, I helped you get to where we are now, living quite comfortably and you just want to reck everything I have ever done for you."

"Impulse, calm down"

"No, Im not calming down. You 3 are not in a place to make decisions about what we as a team do. Thats me. And if you don't appreciate that, I think you should leave!"

"Impu-"

"GO!"

The three left the building in silence. Not speaking a word until the got to the carpark.

"I messed up"

"You did nothing wrong Skizz"

"But he's right. When I needed help, he didnt even give a second thought but now im going against him..."

"Sorry... I feel like I kinda made you turn against him."

"I did it on my own, Scar. He will come round eventually. I know my best bud will. But im worried for him."

"Why is that?"

"He has never been so adamant with something. Sure he has gone against things before but never to the point of a full blown argument."

"I haven't know him as long as you, so I couldn't say. But I know you live with him. Would you two like to stay round mine for the night?"

"If I could, yeah. I think he would just want to be left alone right now."

"Ok" Grian began to walk to his car with Skizz before turing back to Scar, "You coming?"
