“Thanks for all your help, Detective Stafford.”
“It’s my job.I wish all my cases were this easy.”He nodded to Paul and Mitch.“You gentlemen have a good rest of the evening.Don’t go driving now.”
Mason chuckled.“No sir, we won’t.Good night.”
Mitch closed the door behind the detective.When he turned back to the other two, he said, “Does this mean no party?”
Chapter Sixteen
Mason stood with histwo friends, looking at what remained of the brick wall.The wall that had hidden Francis Watson from the rest of the world for almost a hundred years.
“Now what?”Mitch asked.“Do we just...get on with it?”
“I...uh....”Mason rubbed his chest.“I guess so.Maybe I should ask Francis how he feels.”
“I feel.”
Mason jumped about a foot off the ground and then spun around.“Shit!You scared the hell outta me!Don’t do that!”
Francis smiled.“I do apologize.”He bowed slightly.He then turned around, looking at the room.“This room has changed a great deal.”
“Mason?Who are you talking to?”Mitch stood next to Mason, looking in the same direction as Mason.
“I take it that your friends do not have the capability to see me?”Francis asked, smiling broadly.
“Nope.Just me.”Mason smiled back.
Francis made a face at Mitch causing Mason to burst out laughing.
“Is...is he here?”Paul whispered, his eyes wide.
“Yes,” Mason answered, smiling at Paul.“Francis is here.”
“Get him to...you know, prove that he’s here,” Mitch said, poking Mason in the ribs with his elbow.“So we know he’s here.”
“It takes a tremendous amount of energy to move things,” Francis said.“It took everything I had to knock that large bucket over so that it would deter my mother.”
