Mary Kendall, A Ghost Story
Lia
After Betty leaves, Mary floats outside and down to the front of the house. She peeks in the frost-covered windows and sure enough, there are now two men in her house! "Oh, that's right, I'm not allowed to call it my house even though it feels like mine. Hmm, a redhead. I wonder if he has a temper? He looks kinda cute." She looks through the window wishing she had the nerve to go in, but Betty said he was a ghost hunter. He might decide to capture her especially if he thinks she has caused all the damage around here...which she did. She giggles nervously.
Perhaps Jamie experienced a sense of someone staring at them as he suddenly stops talking to Damien and walks towards the window.
Mary instantly poofs away.

Jamie stares out the window, even though he knows the ghost is gone. He sensed it leaving before crossing the room. A good ghost hunter has a strong sensitivity to ghosts and can generally feel their presence. Jamie is a great ghost hunter. His reputation is well known throughout the scientific and paranormal communities. He commands a hefty fee to rid a home of dangerous ghosts, specters, or poltergeists. He again does not detect anything particularly malevolent in the house. He looks over at Damien who is watching him curiously. "Someone here doesn't want to be seen. We need to figure out the best way to approach this one as it is very skittish. I want to read your notes again on what happened in this house later today."
Damien nods. "I'll get them out of the safe for you when we get back from town. I started locking them up when I realized the house was full of ghosts.

The ride to town doesn't take too long. Jamie needs to register with the local science facility to work as a ghost hunter locally. He makes an appointment to see the director about the resurrection research as he is not available today.

Damien shows him around the town. He has not explored much himself as he has been busy with the house. He enjoys seeing how beautiful Hidden Springs is. They decide to check out the winter sports park. They enjoy snowboarding and make plans to come back another day.

They enjoy a fun day looking at the town and snowboarding. Jamie knows Damien has wanted to live in Hidden Springs for many years. The beauty of the town and friendliness of the people will keep him here. They decide to eat at the local diner rather than going home for supper. The special of the day sounds delicious to both of them...spicy chili and cornbread with a sinfully delicious angel food cake dessert served flambe style. It is a wonderful meal warming them inside and out after the day spent out in the cold.

After arriving home, they play several games of chess and are evenly matched in skill. Damien wins this round 2 to 1. Damien heads to bed and Jamison stays up to look for any nocturnal activities by the ghosts.
He climbs the steps to the attic and carefully inspects the walls. He knocks on the walls as well as pushing on a few of the loose stones. Nothing seems to work at exposing an opening. He checks the floorboards carefully and doesn't find any switches or levers. "Well, perhaps I will have to let Damien loose with a sledgehammer." He announces it loudly enough hoping to provoke a response. The only sound is a faint cooing. It sounds as if there is a bird loose in the attic. He senses a presence nearby that is not a bird. Who is it?
Behind the wall, Mary fumes thinking about her beautiful home getting wrecked with a sledgehammer! She takes many deep breaths realizing she cannot overreact with a ghost hunter in the house. She remembers what Emmaline said about not panicking and that Damien seemed to be trying to help.
Jamie settles in and begins reading Damien's notes on Mary's death, and the documentation he has collected on the problems with the house over the years. He agrees with Damien's conclusion that Mary was indeed murdered. Damien has not had a chance to find out if any of the investigating officers are still living. He wonders if it is Mary who returned and did not move on after death. She definitely had a traumatic death, and the killers were never caught or even accused of murder. That could be enough to keep a ghost from moving on.
Mary peeks on the men. Damien is sleeping, and the cute redhead is reading and keeping watch over the house. She snorts. "Let him stay up all night for all I care." She changes into warm pajamas and gets under the covers and falls fast asleep.
The night stays fairly peaceful. He hears limbs creaking in time with the slight wind that is blowing. The soothing sounds of newly fallen snow from the fresh storm, the coo of the bird that apparently is in the attic. He walks through the house one more time and does not find any ghostly activity. Jamie hopes that is a good sign. He locks the notes back in the safe, climbs the stairs, and crawls into a warm bed.

The next morning after breakfast they both decide they need a workout. Jamie works on martial arts and Damien jogs on the treadmill. Afterward, they split up. Damien going to the town hall to find out about the police officers and Jamie goes back to the house.

Jamie is welcomed home by a cute cat sitting on the porch meowing. The cat sniffs at Jamie's hand but when Jamie attempts to pick it up the cat rears back and snarls and hisses at him. "Touchy are we?" Jamie laughs at the cat. Jamie continues talking to the cat and his charm eventually works as the cat finally relents and cuddles in Jamie's arms. "Would you like to stay here at Spring Manor? I think you will like my friend Damien. I will name you, Lia, if that is okay with you?" The cat looks up at him and meows as if she approves.
Jamie texts Damien explaining about the cat he found. He requests him to stop at the local pet store to purchase some supplies for a cat.
Damien grins remembering that Jamie always seemed to have a few animals around growing up. His very own beloved dog Max who finally passed away from old age was a gift from Jamie.
