Chapter Five

            The three boys had spent the night trying to figure out anything they could about Ghost.  Trying their best not to let him get depressed.  Every time Quinn caught a sad look they’d remind Ghost that they were going to figure it out soon.

            No matter what they tried, Ghost still couldn’t remember enough to give them an answer.  He mostly only had feelings and even then he couldn’t be certain that those feelings were from his past.  So when morning came Sean and Quinn decided the best place to start looking for clues was the town library.

            They settled down in a file room to look through past newspapers, finding nothing on the internet the previous night.  Though they had nothing to search for in the first place, so that didn’t help either. 

            “Ok, so when did you say you first met Ghost?”  Sean asked.

            “Um, I was about ten, so almost eight years ago?” 

            “So we know he had to of, um….” Sean trailed off, hesitating with a look towards Ghost.

            “I had to of died at least eight years ago.” Ghost sighed, “Don’t feel you have to be careful around me guys.  If we want to figure this out we have to be frank and not tip toe around the subject.”

            Quinn was proud of his friend.  It was pretty obvious as Quinn grew older that Ghost was in fact a young teen.  There were things that tended to hurt his friends feeling then they would say a 16 year old.  He was pretty sensitive and to put it as nicely as possible, not very mature in some situations.  Not saying that Quinn was much better, but there was a noticeable difference at times. 

            “Ok,” Sean gave Ghost a reassuring smile, seeming to be just as proud, and continued, “so we should start searching the newspapers from eight years ago.  Look for anything that might seem important to a boy gone missing.  I doubt will find an exact article seen as there was nothing online, which I still find weird.  Like everything is online no-a-days.” 

            “Hahahaha, you just sounded like a 15 year old girl!”  Quinn couldn’t stop laughing; it wasn’t so much the words just the fact Sean was the one saying them.

            “Ugh, I didn’t even think about what I was saying.  I totally did, I sounded just like a dim witted girl I know.  Only she would have added a few more ‘likes’ to the sentence.” Sean chuckled. 

Once again he was struck by the fact that even though he only knew these two for a short time, he felt more comfortable with them then anyone previously.
