Lukes POV (your in danger)

- your in real danger - 

"Whoo!" I say throwing the basketball through the hoop.

"Feels like we should be like celebrating or something." Alex says laughing 

"What do you guys wanna do?" reggie asks. 

then we are hit by another painful jolt, it ripples through us like a wave, shooting pain throughout my whole body. 

"Not that. That wasn't like the other ones." I say quickly gripping my stomach

 "It's getting worse." reggie says 

"Why is this happening to us?" Alex says

"It's because your in real danger"

 "Willie?"

"We need to talk." willie says panicked 

 "All these jolts that we're feeling is because Caleb put his stamp on us?" I say angrily, "they hurt you know!" 

"He's threatened by you. He wants you under his control. You're the only ghosts that can be visible to lifers without his help." willie says defensively.   

"And you let him do this to us?" I ask accusingly 

"I can't stop him. He owns my soul. All right? He owns everybody's soul at that club. If he even knew I was here talking to you, he.. ... he would destroy me." willie finishes looking away. 

"so what? if we don't join his club, the weird power outage thing continues until there's no power left at all?" reggie says. 

"yea" 

"What exactly happens when the power goes out?" reggie says 

"That's... That's it. You're done" willie says 

 "Uh-huh. Yeah. And what exactly do you mean by "we're done"? " reggie adds 

"You just... You don't exist... anymore. Not anywhere." 

"What? So we have no choice? We have to say goodbye to Julie, give up everything we've built together, and work for Caleb? That's some club you guys got going on." im angry now almost yelling at willie. 

"but..If you guys could just figure out what your unfinished business is, you do it in time, you could cross over and be free from all of this." I laugh "oh and what's our unfinished business?" I say quickly. 

"I don't know, but since you all died at the same time, it might be something you need to do together." willie says, 

"why should we listen to you!" Alex says, "you got us into this mess" I add. 

"Because I care about you, Alex. And I hate that I brought you... and your friends into this mess. I, uh... I can't be away much longer. I'm so sorry. For everything." he says before skating away. 

I nearly scream but I look at Alex who looks upset. "this is my fault" he says" I... I met Willie, Willie introduced us to Caleb, and now... now we're screwed."

"We all wanted to go see Caleb." reggie says. 

"We have to tell Julie and cami" Alex says

"No, we can't do that. This just means more loss in their life." I say, I dint want to hurt them 

"But if we don't want Caleb to own our souls, we have to figure out what our unfinished business is." 

"Yeah, man. And how are we supposed to do that? All right? There was so much we wanted to do." Alex says 

 "What is it?" reggie asks

"But the night we died, there was one thing we all wanted to do together." I say looking behind us

"Play the Orpheum?" reggie says looking behind us at the theatre.  

"Getting that gig was literally impossible. Even after people knew who we were, we had to hustle, call in every favor we had. It took us years." Alex said exhausted 

then we are hit with another jolt... 

"We don't have years..."
