While Lilian, Lorraine and Judy were away, Drew, Ed and Tony stayed at home and helped Ed work on a motorcycle in the garage.

"There she is. See? You always gotta check if she's got a spark." said Tony and showed Ed something on the motorcycle who was standing right next to him and took off his glasses.

Ed stood up straight again and said "I kept thinking it was a carburettor. Should've checked the spark plug. Nice work!"

"Well, you know, I couldn't afford a mechanic in college, so I had to teach myself." Tells Tony.

Ed was cleaning his hands and Drew had a of thought. How much does Tony know about what they do?

"Hey, how much had Judy told you about what we do?" Drew asked, looking at Tony.

Tony smiled slightly before answering "Enough to not ask many questions?"

Ed smiled back. He and Drew looked at each other before Ed said "Come inside. I wanna show you something."

Ed went ahead and the two men followed. Ed wanted to show Tony the room. The room with the cursed or possessed objects. He opened the door and walked in with Tony and Drew behind him.

"Don't touch anything. Everything you see in this room, is either haunted, cursed, or been used in some sort of ritual practice. Nothing's a toy. Not even the toy's." Ed warned Tony.

Tony looked around with big eyes. "If all these things are so evil, why do you keep them around? Why not just destroy them?"

"It's complicated. Sometimes, that makes things worse. Sometimes, it just won't let you. We found it safer to keep the genie in place. It's better in here than out there." Answers Drew the young man.

"How many cases you guys had?" Asked Tony.

"Cases?"said e and exhaled. He looked at Drew and Drew answes "Maybe a thousand."

"A thousand?" Tony was slightly shocked.

"Yeah. We started young, about your age. And then Lilian and Drew came along, also about your age. It's funny. This room. Every little thing in it is our story. It's our life's work." Said Ed and Drew nodded in agreement.

Tony sighed slightly before saying "Listen, the other day, I get it. I-I was just nervous, and you're kind of intimidating."

"We almost lost Judy. She was stillborn. For probably a minute. It was the longest minute of our lives. And as a parent, that's something you never forget. So, while I know she's your fiancé, for us, she will always be that little baby, fighting for her life." explained Ed. "We were the same with Lilian. We still are, but I know Drew will protect her. Lilian is, let's say, vulnerable. Her power is very attractive to evil. Lilian has been in danger many times and is a big target for the paranormal. I just want to know my two girls are safe."
