Caitlin and Tommo walked into the kitchen together after the newsreader had finished talking about James and the people he had killed, both looking very tired as if they hadn't slept at all the night before. I wondered what they had been doing all night that had lead them to be so tired.
Caitlin was the first of the two to notice Liam, who had pulled up a chair next to Theo and myself, and she seemed very shocked to see him.
"Liam?!?! Aren't you dead?!? How can you be here?" she exclaimed when she saw him there.
"Ummmm.... I am dead," Liam told her. "There's this thing where dead people like me can come back as ghosts and help people, and sometimes they can be seen. A bit like a guardian angel really."
"That's so cool!!" said Tommo. "What will happen if I try to touch you?"
"Try it and see for yourself."
Tommo reached out to poke Liam in the arm, and the area around her finger dissolved making her finger go right through him.
"WHAT THE HELL THAT'S SO WEIRD" said Tommo, quite taken aback by the fact that things could go right through Liam and come out on the other side looking exactly the same.
"Anyway, Liam, these two are Tommo and Caitlin. Tommo's the one who just poked you." I said.
"Why hello." said Liam.
"Okay, introductions aside, there was just a news report about James and they said you two need to talk to the police." said Theo.
"What? Why? I thought they were done with us." said Caitlin.
"Well, apparently not. I guess you should probably go talk to them. Dunno what it's about, but it must be important." Theo told them.
Caitlin and Tommo looked at each other nervously, not sure what the police needed them for, before they began to make breakfast for themselves.
