FIFTEEN

After Frances took a warm shower, she got dressed and put on a white striped shirt with a blue and black jacket, navy pants and combat shoes. When she finished getting dressed, she met up with everyone else. "Now, while Susan was empathetic, she did not give us much to work with" Charles came out of the room and slung the brown backpack over his shoulder "If we are to crack this case,research on the family and house seems necessary" Frances nod her head with Edwin, she agreed, searching the house is necessary in order to find some clues about the case.

"Wait wasn't Jenny born here? Bet she knows something about the family" Crystal walked between Frances and Edwin "That's brills, I'll come with"Charles said but Crystal declined "actually I think you and Frances should go together... she's better at detective work" Crystal shot a wink at Niko, making Frances confused "Why did you just wink?" Frances asked the teen "I got something in my eye." Crystal lied "you two are always together." Edwin huffed "oi we are not" 

"Are you two setting me and Charles up?!" Frances asked when she saw Niko sending a smirk to Crystal "Niko- don't answer" Crystal told Niko but she didn't listen "me and Crystal were hoping you two would get it on" Frances eyes got wide "What do you mean by that?" Niko eyes looked down at the floor with a smile "Do you mean you want me and her to....shag?" Charles questioned with a smile on his face "I mean- I would tots do it" Frances turned her head to look at Charles "But uh- yeah-" He saw the expression on her face and didn't want to add any other trouble "Can a ghost and a human even shag?" Frances asked the four people standing with her "Not sure but we can test that out" Charles winked at Frances, it made her blush at the suggestion but she quickly hid it.  "you two should get a room for yourself!" Niko suggested while clapping her hands, thinking it was the best idea since the airplane "Me and Crystal can go shop for some candles and chocolate... in my manga that always gets them in the mood" Niko added on to her sentence, Charles seemed to like the idea while Frances got confused on why the two girls wanted to set her up with Charles. "don't forget protecti-" Frances cut off what Crystal was about to say "let's just ask Jenny"

Frances grabbed Charles hand and dragged him away from the situation to the butcher shop, both of them quiet from the weird conversation.  Jenny was inside cleaning her window "Hey Jenny" Frances spoke up "hm" she hummed, she turned around at the teen "If you have any plans you should cancel them, I heard the storm is going to be severe" She looked back at her door and continued to clean it "I have a question" Frances spoke up yet again "Have you heard of the Devlin murder case?" 

Jenny stopped cleaning the door "please tell me you're not doing a stupid podcast or something"Frances shook her head "no! uh- I have to write an essay about it" She quickly lied about her reasoning "I thought you didn't do school?" Frances glanced at Charles before looking back at Jenny "I do online school now" Frances smiled with her teeth showing "If I tell you about it, will you leave me alone?" Frances nod "Yes" Jenny sighed "Great. It's a super fucked up story so I'm gonna need some coffee"

After Jenny brewed up some coffee she begin to talk about the murder "The Devlins lived in that old two- story on Haywood back in the 1990s when people could afford homes.They were the model family but everyone has skeletons in their closet and one night the dad went fully psycho slasher movie. He killed the mom and daughters while they were watching TV" Jenny took a sip from her hot coffee while Frances processed the new information, he killed his whole family for no reason? "Ask why he went mental" Charles told Frances "why did he kill them?" 

"I heard the wife had an affair, or the new radio shack in town was taking business from his electronic shop, does it matter?" Frances sighed "I heard the place is haunted" Jenny took a sip before she spoke "Its good that they are tearing It down" Frances stood more straightly "Wait what?" 

The door from behind rang as it opened, causing Frances to look behind, Ester. "Fuck me!" Frances shouted a bit too loud "sorry, shes on something." Jenny apologized for Frances behavior "I will gladly do that" Charles whispered, Frances kicked his ankle "Asshole" Frances and Charles walked to the front door, past Ester "I'm so glad you two are still here" Ester sucked on her poisonous pipe "I'm not glad you're here" Ester laughed at the girls attitude "feisty, I like that" Ester smirked "wheres the uptight one?" Ester asked them both "Why should I tell you?" Frances crossed her arms "Because I can make your life a living hell" Ester laughed loudly "We should go now" Charles took a hold of Frances hand "See you soon!!" Before the two walked out of the door, Ester hit Charles ankle with the iron cane, hurting him.
