You Promised

(Ghost's pov)

I closed the door behind us and peeked out the window.

"Sir, what are you doing?"

I looked back at Toast. "That's her. That's the girl who stole Jimmy's knife."

I'm gonna show her my secret so hard she won't know what hit her.

With what? You don't have a knife ya doofus.

I'll figure something out.

I pulled away from the window and towards the bathroom where Toast had already gotten rid of the ghost. He was just packing up so I decided to look around a bit. I wondered into the kitchen and found the knife drawer. I picked up the biggest one and shoved it into my bag.

What am I doing?

You're not doing anything, I am.

You're not going to kill her Jimmy.

Who's gonna stop me? You?

Suddenly Toast walked into the room. He must have seen the knife handle sticking out of my bag because he walked over and pulled it out.

"Sir, what's this?"

"I'm going to need something if we're going to get Jimmy's knife back." I forgot how good Jimmy was at imitating my voice.

"Yes but we can just get one from the house. We are not going to steal theirs. Even if they are the reason we have to get it back."

He placed the knife back in the drawer and walked out. Jimmy grabbed the knife again, hiding it better this time, and followed. The girl was talking on the phone while her brother sat in the bed of the truck that was parked in the driveway. As we got closer she ended her call and walked up to us.

"That was fast. Is it gone?"

Toast nodded. "No need to worry Madame. That will be ten dollars."

She handed him the money. "Good. We have to go meet someone and I didn't want to have that thing roaming free in my house."

Her brother had walked over and was standing beside her. "Why can't I just stay here?"

"Because after last night I would rather not leave you alone."

"Oh yes, I heard what happened. I can't imagine what that must have felt like." Toast was lying through his teeth but it must have been good enough to fool her because she didn't notice.

"I've been in worse situations. Now if you'll excuse me." She got in the truck and started it.

"Well Sir, that's our cue to leave."

Jimmy laughed. "Sorry Toaster but I have something to do first." He pulled out the knife and ran after the quickly disappearing truck.  "Time to show them my secret."
