Chapter III: It's him

Brian woke up with a tired yawn and hit his alarm button, he went to go grab breakfast, never noticing the new ghost that was following him around.

When he got to the pizzeria, he was out of breath, it was raining, of course it was! Behind him there was Charlie who was cheering him on. He rushed inside and took deep breaths, he opened the curtains and noticed Helpy talking through a phone, Brian decided to let her do her own thing and looked torwards Charlie, Whispering so that Helpy could not hear him "who do you think she's talking to?" The ghost shrugged and looked around nervously, Brian noticed this and whispered again "Charlie is something the matter?" The ghost looked at him and nodded "I feel another presence here, but it doesn't feel vengeful like us... just scared" Brian looked around for any potential sign of the unknown ghost and finally noticed him between the curtains, he had short brown hair that seemed to cover some bandages stained with red, dull green eyes , he had a black and white stripped shirt, he also seemed to have infinite tears streaming down his face and he was hugging a golden bear plush to his chest. Brian looked closer and sure enough, he seemed scared. Brian walked to him and kneeled down so he could be at his height "Hey little buddy, are you okay?" The kid looked up at him with surprise and answered in a small voice "Y...you can see me?" Brian smilled softly and nodded "What's your name?" The ghost smilled back nervous and said "My name is Chris" Brian nodded and extended his hand torwards the small child " Well I'm Brian, and that over there is my friend Charlie" He said as he looked over at the girl spirit and she looked over at Chris with caution "Hi..." Chris took Brian's hand and a familiar glow appeared, if Charlie would have been drinking something it would have been spilt on the floor. The small boy had learned to trust the adult so fast... was it perhaps the soft tone he spoke in, or that trustworthy smile? Well while he was talking with the two ghosts, it seemed that Helpy finished her phone call and she walked over to him "Hey Brian! I didn't hear you come in" The small robot spoke and Brian looked over startled "Oh hi Helpy! Yeah I saw you were on the phone and I didn't want to disturb you!" The white and pink bear smilled and handed him silver coins "This Is the money that you Got yesterday!" He human took silver coins from the smaller hands and spoke out, surprised "Wow! This is alot of money!" He looked down at Helpy and noticed she wasn't smilling anymore, he bent down to her side "Is something the matter?" Helpy looked away and spoke up "Well, today you have to look through the vents, but it's scary up there!" Brian smilled, thankful for the bear's worrying. " I'm sure it'll be fine! I can handle plenty of scary" the small robot looked up at him and smilled before leading him to the back room, where a ladder had been pulled up into the ceiling. He climbed up, Helpy going up after him. There was small office with a computer, and one both sides were small vents, big enough to stand up but bearly, Brian looked over to the right vent and noticed it was to dark to see anything, looking over to the left he could see a bit more. "Let's go here, I'll bring a flashlight next time" Helpy nodded and they both went into the vent, leading to a room with two doors again, Brian just went straight, looking around and noticed something shining on the floor "Oh look! There's money here!" He picked it up with a smile and looked at Helpy who was looking around really scared, he stopped smilling and spoke in a soft tone "Hey... if you wanna go back its okay, I can see that you don't like this place" Helpy shook her head as if to say no "Then next time, I'll be coming alone" Helpy looked up at him in surprise and opened her mouth to respond but Brian interrupted her "Come on let's go" He went to the only door in this room, and stopped at what he saw. Then he heard Charlie, but she sounded... mad? One thing he knew clearly however is what she said

"It's him"
