Moving on.

A connection.

~~~A few months later~~~"

'Ghosts are growing to strong. We can't handle them anymore. The shippings aren't coming so we have no supplies and we are down to our 2 last iron chains. People are giving up. No where is safe. There are to many deaths caused by ghost touch. It's almost game over.'

I popped my pen down on my desk and yawned. Before I closed my leather journal and hid it under my mattress. I documented my daily life now. It helps me get rid of the nightmares.

Yet it doesn't help the slowly fading desire to give up. We are called out 5 times each, every night. There aren't enough of us in the company. Every company is working non stop. We will all be suffering until the source is found.

The skull is growing restless, Lockwood is about to break which has never happened. George is eating more everyday and Holly, well Holly is being herself trying to be the perfect little princess she is. Floe is helping us out now and then. I recently realised how she looks at George and I totally ship them. Once this mess is over with I need to set them up together.

Oh yeah and of course Phoenix is staying here for awhile. We dragged another mattress into my room as Holly had the couch. I should also mention me and Phoenix are 'dating' (his idea to make Lockwood jealous.) Although I don't think Lockwood really cares about it that much seeing as he always has his attention on Holly. 

We have a case tomorrow with all of us going like old times. Well if you excuse Holly. George thinks there is a connection to Ackmeres store. Kipps and his little rats have to join us. 'DEPRAC'S rules.'

He crept slowly up to her small form. Laughing silently to himself with each step.
"Lil  Luce, it's time to get up." He whispered in a light voice while drawing to a stop by her side. He smiled as she rolled away from him smiling and snuggled into her pillow. He leaned over and burst out laughing as he poured the ice could contents on to her head and she shot up with a high pitched scream. Before she could grab him he dashed through the bedroom door and down the stairs. Smashing into a very unimpressed Lockwood.
"You know most people make the effort to wear more than just boxers, when sharing a house with four other people."  Phoenix didn't have time to make a snarky comment before someone jumped on his back wrapping their legs around him, causing him to lose his balance in surprise and smash into the floor.

He was given no time to process what had just happened before Lucy pinned him down and started tickling him. 
"Lu-luce please stop. I, I cant breath." He squirmed around on the floor, whilst glaring at Lockwood's back as he descended the stairs. Lucy stood up grabbed his hand and dragged him up the stairs back to the room. 
"Put some bloody clothes on it's not hard." Lucy threw clothes in his face before walking out the door and down to the kitchen. He didn't even have time to remind her she herself was in only a pair of short shorts and a sports bra.

She walked in grabbed a croissant of the counter shoved it into her mouth and jogged down to the basement to help get ready. Waving to George and blanking Holly she grabbed the last few sachets of iron filings, the last set of chains and her rapier. Then joined Lockwood at his desk.
"What's the plan for today then." She plopped herself down on the edge of his desk ignoring Holly's death stares.
