Chapter Six

The librarian wasn't able to give the boys much assistance. She suggested that they narrow down their search a bit more. So once again they were back to the fact that they knew nothing of Ghost's past and had no way to figure it out without some other clue on what to look for.

Since they knew Ghost had to of been associated with their school, Sean and Quinn decided to start asking around, maybe someone will know something. They came up with a plan to interview teachers about missing persons cases. Quinn figured they'd be more then happy to help if the students were do research for a school project. Teachers loved when students became actively involved in their homework.

So far they had talked to about 3 different teachers, choosing the older ones that would have been here eight years or more. Each one had had similar answers.

They mostly got a “I'm sorry I have not heard of any missing people or children in the surrounding area.”

One of the teachers got excited about their research and tried to give them more ideas to write about. He told them that many children run away so that would be some statistics to look up and 'also check the larger cities stats to compare to their own.' As nice as the mans help was, it did not actually pertain to them. To be that guys seem to really want to help with the 'paper.'

They approached Mr. Wallace next, he was a younger teacher but he had still been here for about ten years or so. This was the guy everyone seemed to like, Quinn didn't understand that but whatever.

“Mr. Wallace?” Sean asked knocking on the door frame to signal their presence.

“Yes? How can I help you boys?” The teacher said with a charming and encouraging smile. Quinn figured that had a lot to do with his status, he really was as nice as possible to everyone.

“We were wondering if we could question you for our research paper.” Quinn answered.\

“Its about missing persons.”

“Oh, well that seems like an interesting topic.” He looked at them curiously, probably never hearing of a teacher that assigned it. Quinn mentally crossed his fingers, hoping they wouldn't get caught in a lie. That would get people asking them questions they didn't have a sane answer to.

“Well let's hear them!” Mr. Wallace looked happy to help once again.

“We were asking around to see if anyone had knowledge of any missing children. Ones that may have gone to school here in the past.”

Mr. Wallace looked at them oddly before answering, “Sorry boys, I've been here over ten years now and I don't ever remember any students that have gone missing. Can't help ya. I've got to get back to my grading so I'll see you in class.”

We walked out of the classroom feeling down, no one seemed to know anything.

They had time in the free period to ask one more teacher. They were going to the oldest teaching the school now. Mrs. Murphy had been here for over thirty years. Sean's parents had told him once in passing that they knew her from their time here.

AS they walked down the hall the boys heard a squeaking sound. One that seemed to be following them all day. Sean looked behind him just in time to catch the Janitor looking their way. He shivered feeling as if he had been watching them all day.
