Chapter 104

“You can’t,” Brody replied. “I’ve been around for, hell, six, seven years or so. There’s nothing I can’t move if I put my mind to it.”

Brody opened the front door and two men came in. Or a man and a ghost,Gene realized, since he could vaguely see the door behind the younger man.

“I’m Sage,” the living man said. “I saw you at the crime scene.” He smiled compassionately. “I don’t blame you for getting the hell out of there. I would if it was my body on the pavement. Before you ask, I’m a medium. I can talk to ghosts like Brody and Jon, and the two of you. Which one of you is which by the way?”

“I’m Van,” Van replied. “He’s Gene.” He cocked his head, frowning. “Why are they still here? I thought ghosts moved on after a while.”
