“So,” said Latimer. “You and the ghost girl are… emotionally involved. Even though you know such relationships are expressly forbidden. Because they never work out well.”
“Really not a good time to go into that, Boss,” said Happy.
“Right,” said Melody, in an only moderately threatening way.
Latimer looked at JC, standing alone, looking as though something had punched his heart out, and surprised them all by nodding.
“I have to get back to the Institute,” she said evenly. “I have to make a report… of some kind. You can all come in… when you’re ready.”
She walked away, back straight and head held high, not looking back. Happy and Melody watched her go.
“Kim is out there, somewhere,” said JC. “And I will find her.”
“Of course we will,” said Happy. “We’re ghost finders.”
“Damn right,” said Melody.
